The above boat is actually considered a 24' boat, but actually it is a 21' boat with a 3' swim platform. The swim platform size is great for lots of reasons.
When it is a rough trip, I always sit on the back seat - it is not so hard hitting there.
The kids love the bow fill in for fireworks and sunbathing.
Having a boat with a such a roomy head is great.
Our oldest son has the most issue with it not being a very cool boat. As you can see, he solves that by putting down the bimini.
Our Four Winns has been pretty good in the wind and weather because of the door and glass. We also purchased the full vinyl, which is very much appreciated in October.
This boat is nice because it can handle a lot of people.
Good luck soxfan!
