Remember, this is a multi-purpose boat! Note all the rod holders. And,

the removal of the aft jump seats one can haul four more rods. Just think,
trolling with eight rods on an 18' boat!

Been there, done that - it sucks. :)

In my way of thinking, it's important to have those amenities that
appeal to the distaff side of humanity. I know on the Contender, that
was one thing Mrs. Wave really liked about the boat - it was like her
bathroom at home.

I know you have an issue with towing and associated problems with
launching and retrieving, but it may pay you to look at stepping up a
couple of feet just to get the step down console.

I totally agree. Going out on the boat with the guys is one thing, but if
one expects his wife to join in on fishing or cruising trip then providing a
private head area is in good taste.......perhaps mandatory if one wants to
keep the boss happy. ;-)
