I've looked at many many boats I always come back to the tournament models for me and a pure fishing boat I think it's the best I really like the clean front no step ups and cushions and crap to trip over you can fight a fish right up to the bow.
1.1mpg?? With a 320 outrage 350 verados, 16x18 eco enertia I got around 1.4-1.5mpg # 35-36mph. These boats are 12,800lbs loaded, whaler is a bit more but similar. The weight of these boats are killing fuel economy.
The upholstery on the helm beach seat is going to cut off circulation with that stupid lump on the front. Not to mention water can't run off Ridiculous
They're all center consoles, so of course they are all going to have the same features. If you want something different then you should be looking at a different style of boat.
