Hello. i was looking into buying a boat like this. but i was just wonder about how many people would be able to fit on a boat like this?

[@user-ym9wb2mk5e]

How does the boat feel in rough water? Looking at a 1995 1900 Sportsman w/ a Yam 115. I was watching the video and it looked like the boat was flexing a lil bit when hitting those bigger waves.

B it feels like a 17 foot boat would in rough water haha. Overall it’s a solid boat, know it’s limits in the slop. Slow down in the rough water and take it easy. I’ve been in 2-3s all day in this boat...rough but I got it back!
Also It’s not flexing but it’s the video stabilization on the footage.

@@kddcc Thanks! I watched the factory videos, looks like from the 90's on, they don't have wood in them except foam. Not sure if that's a good thing, I have heard foam ends up waterlogging over time. I'm used too bass boats, so this will be my first center console. I think I will get with Key West and see if there's a way to check if the foam is indeed a potential issue for a 25+ year old boat.
Be safe out there!

Nice. Did it come with the T-top or did you buy it separate?

Connor K came with the T Top, takes up some of the useable space in the boat but totally worth it
