    Default Boat question


    I'm on the market for a boat. I'm wanting a 2072. What I don't know is if I want a center or side console. I like the thought of driving standing up due to lower back pain but I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get under some of the bridges with a center console, like mink creek. Also I'm afraid it would get in the way of casting or having a 3rd person trying to fish the middle of the boat.

    Id like some of yalls input on it. I want this to be the last boat I ever buy.

    PM,Big Bill Marine,Before you buy ride,fish out of the two the way you want the boat set up,leave nothing out,Both has advantages,If something happens,God forbid,and you had to sell which one would hold its value!! its not what something costs its what it cost to replace.

    I've had my share of boats and I bought an Xpress H20Bay and absolutely love it. I went from a G3 175 side console to this Xpress center console. The console is about 5.5ft from the floor of the boat. I use it in Eufaula and is nice when he water gets rough. I don't know where ya live but I'll be at Eufaula this weekend and I'll take ya out in it.

    I've read lots of good things about "smooth moves" seat bases for people with back issues in rough water.

    After having several center consoles, I don’t think I could ever move back to a side console.
