[QUOTE="SilverFox, post: 2770285, member: 9102"] This boat is different from the regular Stinger models. It is made like a bass boat on the bottom with a pad for it to ride on instead of flat bottom. It's pretty much the same on the inside I think except for the raised decks. The rear livewell is pretty big. The front one is more like a bait tank. It would hold some crappie or bream but not any big bass. I'll probably use it like a cooler and use the built in cooler for something else since the cooler is smaller than the livewell. I've owned a Triton and a War Eagle aluminum before but both were flat bottom boats. This one rides like a glass boat. I took it on about a 30 mile ride yesterday on Douglas Lake and I have to say that so far I like it a lot. The only thing I'm not real happy with is the trolling motor. I have a 24 volt 75 lb Motorguide and it's just too much for this boat. Even on 1 it's a lot more than you need if you're just trying to position for a pitch or flip. On 5 it makes a wake behind the boat. So far in 2 trips I have almost got the boat broken in on time. I've put probably 45-50 miles on it. The engine is still on double oil so top speed may increase a mile or two per hour... I've got it up to 44 by GPS so far on some what flat water. I've still got almost a 1/4 tank of fuel out of a 12 or 13 gallon tank. I'm not sure of the size. I put almost 13 gallons in it but it had a little in it from the dealer I think. The hose probably holds about a gallon. It may be a little bigger tank... I'll find out on next fill up I guess. I forgot to look before I filled it up the first time. [/QUOTE]
