I own an 1850, and I love my boat. Fish mostly for muskies and walleyes, have never put anything but walleyes in my live well. Family of four, it holds more fish than you can eat. 25+ years of muskie fishing I have yet to need a live well to revive one, and have yet to kill one (that I know of).
My wife also loved the jump seats, and after a couple seasons I will tell you they are great for maybe small kids. We tried to go without using four seats on pedestals one trip and put my two boys (14 & 19 at the time) on the jump seats to have more floor space, ugh makes it handle like a loaded manure wagon. BUT, the jump seats helped me buy the boat because on the show floor my FW loved the concept.
Having owned a lot of different boats, I have the view that my 1850 is perhaps the smoothest rough water under 19′ boat made. So if you fish Rainy, LOTW, etc. it is hard to go wrong with this hull.
