I have one that we keep in Virginia, great boat, never had any problems with it at all, ours is only 18' but, they have a great rep. and the people in Virgina that stripper fish out in the bay use them religously.

Striper fished out of the 16 1/2 foot model. Easy to set up for striper fishing with rod holders, downriggers, etc. Shallow draft so no problem on the river either. Plenty of room so if you keep your gear organized you have no problem walking around the boat while fighting a decent fish. Also had young kids on board from time to time (2-5 yr olds). High walls and very stable so no concern there. Like others said, its a rough ride in rough water.

from personal experience, 3 or more people in one casting for bass can be a little bit of a challenge sometimes with the center console and leaning post, but to rig it up for trolling it is simple and there is plenty, plenty of room. everything else mentioned is right on from my experience. great moving around in, very ruff ride in ruff water. they are great boats that can be used many different ways. It sounds like there are a lot more of them floating around than i would have thought. My dad has a 14' he inherited last year and my fishin buddy has an 18' that he's had for a few years.
