Johnny seems to start every day off here by being offensive. Seriously.

I like the 'sport seating' available with the stern drive models. The two jump seats sit on either side of the motor box and are much further back than the bench seat on the outboard model. This allows a lot more floor room.

If you raise the center section of the seat in the 170, you have two jump seats *and* storage space.
You seem to have forgotten the 'floor room' occupied by the engine compartment.

Who's offended? I'm certainly not. I simply saw no need for a smart-assed comment directed at
someone who was trying to give you some decent advice.

The first time your exhaust manifold rusts through because of the salt water, you'll be wondering
why you didn't heed some advice.

Johnny seems to start every day off here by being offensive. Seriously.

From one who spends every waking minute here trying to be offensive.

Take a break, Krause. Read my sig carefully.

Lake boaters. Not salt water.

There's something about the look of a mixmaster on the low transom
spoiling the lines of a boat.
