All of eighteen feet and six inches.

They make a nice boat. Great finish and attention to detail.

One thing I really like are the two jump seats in the stern. They pull
out, leaving four more rod holders, if needed. So they can be left in
the car while fishing or put in the boat while playing.

I've not seen the idea in any other boats, but it's a great idea.

Very cool. Can they store in the console or in the bow? It would be
nice to have them available whenever you want them. Which motor do you
have?

Nope, they won't fit anywhere except in their mounts. But, leaving
them in the car or garage is no problem. I've got the Yamaha 150 4
stroke. It's the most the boat is rated for. Moves it along quite
well.

All decisions are the result of binary thinking.

If you're trailering, the car is never that far when you are picking up
guests. The 150 must move it quite well. Make sure you get close to
6000 RPM's at WOT. Even if you don't run it wide open, you will still
get the best performance and longevity out of your motor if it is
propped correctly. This is from two Yamaha techs - not me.
