Sort of like my 20 footer but I have seats in the rear too.
I love it for taking the kids fishing makes so much easier to get to them to help them out, the first time I took my nieces out when they were 7,8, 12 and 12, we went out about 9am and I figured they be tired in a few hours, I didn't think to bring snacks just for them as my brother lived on the lake.
But I had the cokes and water I always carry just in case and had some crackers, I told them we could run in and eat and they said no, we were out there till it got dark and they didn't want to go as the fish were starting to bite again.
We got back and they ran up to the house while I was putting stuff away, I walked in the house and seen they were eating, my sister n law said I have to usually have to force them to eat they on their second plate what did you do to them, I said it the fresh air and fishing.
When I bought my toon I told my bother I'll come over and take the kids out for ride and we go swimming if they wanted, he said they like the pool to much, they won't swim in the lake, hell we hit the middle of the lake and spent the day watching them and the dogs climb on and jump off.
