What a sweet looking boat and the interior upholstery work looks fresh and very new!!! I think you nailed a great deal there even if you need to put some coin into the drive which look clean and taken care of. Hope you get many years of enjoyment out of her!!!

Nice find!!...Im lookin at a boat (18.5') with the same seating layout, I was just curious how big your boat was? And if the seating is cramped behind the captain chairs between the bench? I couldnt really tell from the pics posted.

Thanks.

Avalondon....the boat is a Glasstron 175...it measures just over 17'. My preference was a 18+ and now seeing and sitting in this, given the choice I would go bigger.

It's personal preference on the layout of course. The bench eats into the cockpit a bit, but in my opinion gives more options to seating than the dog house layout. I think the bench looks nicer too.

Can an adult sit straightforward directly behind the buckets seats....yes. Would they feel roomy and comfortable? I would say it like a 6'2" (me) sitting in any mid-sized sedan or economy class airplane. There's room, but your not exactly feeling 'comfortable'.

...but all this in my back yard at -10C....maybe ask me again in 6 months when I've spent some 'real' time in the boat.

Cheers...what you looking at??

Great looking boat there Paul. I think all the deals are south of the border. It's worth the trip for just about any toy, new or used.
