Dad has an older one that is the 17.5 and it not the most stable of boats. I am really scared he’s gonna fall out of it. It’s the very pointed model in he front. It’s fine if one person is fishing but when you throw another person in the back it makes it a little iffy. My neighbor bought one four years ago and it could be the most stable boat I’ve ever road in that was aluminum. It is deeper wider and I think the gas tank is somewhere other than the stern of the boat. I’d recommend that boat to anyone.his don’t have the carpet but has the painted on flooring I think. Not the hydro turf stuff which is fine also.
