They are obviously going after the family/day trip boater. I think it's a great idea. If you are going to be successful in the boat business it helps to offer a full product line. Based on others new center console designs, I think that they should offer a center console model with the seating up front. A lot of people need their boats to be multi functional and other manufactures are offering these boats. I do think that they need to continue to offer the traditional designs focused on just the fishing crowd though. It would be a mistake to abandon their original designs.
