Looking for feedback from past/current 215 EC owners. I am also
considering a deck boat in the same size. This will be a multi-purpose
boat, tubing, swimming, fishing, etc, and will be trailered here in
Michigan. If possible, I would also like to mount my downriggers for
walleye and salmon fishing in the great lakes. The deck boats look like
a better option for comfort and # people, but would limit the fishing
options.

All feedback is appreciated, or suggestions for similar boats from other
manufacturers. I have been looking at some websites that test boats, but
have not come across a specific review of the EC.

Thanks!

You might do well at this site:

Of the couple of dozen actual boaters that hang out here at various
times, the odds are pretty slim that one will own or has owned a 215
EC- but you'll find such folks at the other site.

Good luck with whatever you decide to get!
