    I would need a bigger fam damily for a 20 footer!
    18.9′ is enough for me to wipe down…and no, I’m not getting any help. It looks to pretty wiped down to not do it! LOL!


    @queenswake
    I’ll be around Everts all weekend pulling the kids around in the new tube. Feel free to swing in if you have an inkling to.
    I’m hoping to do a little fishing this weekend as well. But with the higher water that’s here and coming, I don’t think I’ll put too much time into it.

    I’ll have to talk to SBC to see if they expect any changes for 2018. I’m sure at year 2 of the model it will only be color changes, if that. Thanks again.

    I believe there’s plans for a 20′ version in the next year or two.

    I just talked with a regional manager. Color options only for 2018.

    Sorry, BK Pro Pink is not going to be offered.

    BK, I’m wondering how you feel about the center rod locker access now that you’ve been in the boat for a while. When I checked it out at SBC I thought it was clumsy to have to lift the step and then open the locker. Thoughts on it?

    Great question with an easy answer Fishingchallenged.

    The FW pulled the center step out the first day we brought it home. She wanted to walk though the full windshield area and that step was getting in the way. I forgot that it came with it!

    It’s still plenty large for a casting platform or moving a seat up front to jig from if one would choose to do that.

    I don’t fill up the (floor) rod locker with rods but I do keep 2 down there and two in the side locker. There’s room for more rods, couple three sweatshirts, the ski pylon, tubing rope and all sorts of stuff. Like all floor rod lockers…peoples feet seem to always be in the way when a person wants to open them.

    For full disclosure, we’ve only dragged dubuque rigs and bobber fished out of it…all from the back.

    Yesterday it was tube day. There was a lot of screaming on Pool 4…

    Snapped a photo of the removed step for you @fishingchallenged.

    Until you mentioned it, I forgot all about it. Don’t miss it a bit.

    Either way, it tips up with the rod locker cover easily from what I recall.

    Thanks BK. That’s probably what I would end up doing also.

    Nice boat for sure!

    Not definitive quite yet, so I cant confirm or deny quite yet.
