Wife and i popped out yesterday morning.
The owner of the dealership where I bought my Legend 16 Xcalibur was there and we chatted about the short comings of the small aluminum boat.
He tried to talk me into trading in for this model.
Wife liked it until she realized the two extra seats were only portable 'jump seat' style.

It looks like it has enough cockpit space for a couple of folding
aluminum lawn chairs. They are fairly comfortable, inexpensive, and
give you a lot of flexibility with how you use the boat.

Campion are really nice boats. I see a lot of them when I visit Vancouver
Island.

Most companies offer a bit of interior options,Don. do they offer other options toward seating?

Actually those little pull down seats in the back aren't a bad idea. at least they don't get in your way if not being used. And if so, a couple float cushions would be a beneficent not only for comfort but for safety. When not used that could be extra space for a fuel cell or cooler etc.

One of the things my wife really liked about our Key West was the seating.

That picture doesn't show the bow cushion which covers the anchor compartment and
provides more seating up there.

Those flip up seats in the back on some boats cover a cooler and storage
box.

The ones in the back pulled out and left four more rod holders in the transom. That
18'er could troll 8 rods without anything added.

I think the wife is more concerned with keeping her guests comfy than any uses I may have for the boat. She likes the models that have the real plush benches for passengers...our bench is a bit spartan.

I backed you up when I ventured into your backyard and called you out.
