3 man spider rigging boat

[Cray]

Check out Wareagle, they have one but it may be 20 or 21 ft. But it is set up with 3 across seating. Really wide on the bow. They are good to work with so if you found a 18 that was wide enough the would set it up for you.

Finding it stock may be a problem. Most don't configure their front decks for Crappie fishing, let alone 3 wide spider rigging it. I bought and rebuilt a 16' deep-v and added three across seating on the bow. Doubt I will ever fish three across unless it's two adults and my grandson. I have single and double spider rigged off of her. I also have a 30 gallon live/bait well behind the front deck seats.
Only picture I have of the two seats in place. I do have video with one of my son/grandsons in the double configuration. however it will take to long up load.

For reference. My bow is 6'3" wide at the center of the seat bases. The seat bases are 21" center to center and my seats are 18" wide. I just measured.
With all three seats in place, only way around is over the gunwale, or pull a seat off the pedestal.

The $20,000 question. How much space do you want between the seats? The wider the deck, the more the boat costs and the more it costs to operate and tow.

The real question, how often will you seat three across? Realistically, once a summer, once a month, once a week? For me, two across most of the summer when the kids/grandson come with me. When me and a buddy go, or if it's just me, I use the center seat.

I’m not really sure how often I would be doing that. Would just like to have the possibility to do so. As far as spacing goes it would be nice to be able to swivel enough to get off the front deck without going over the gunwAle. I guess I’ll just have to see what it looks like when I start looking at boats. I was in bass pro the other day and saw a 1860 tracker grizzly and the deck looked really wide and got me thinking about fitting 3 people across it

I run a Xpress XP200 and can sit three across the front, it is a 2070. Granted it is tight but it came with (3) bases on the bow, I figure using two offset pedestals on each side would give more room but no more than I fish 3 at the bow I have not tried it.

Anything will be tight with 3 up front. My 23’’ Ranger is wide as they come, and I put the third guy in the back.
