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.
