Built into the 18’ 1” length is an 8’ rod box, 3-across seat bases, and an aerated livewell/baitwell up front. Another tournament grade well with divider and pump-out centers the rear deck. Instrumentation includes speed, tach, fuel, and trim gauges, plus, the factory-rigged layout features a Minn Kota Edge trolling motor, battery charger, integrated LED bow lights, and a Humminbird Helix 5.
