Are you talking about that 82" wide glorified canoe. Now that is a really high demand fishing boat. I ll let you fsh out of that thing all day. I will stick with my no frills 21'10" boat. Hey its 83 inches wide! Get your facts straight! :D You know, I was worried about that when I got my XB2002, but it hasen't been an issue for me personally. I am 6'2" and 230 lbs and I have no issue with it being narrow. It fishes just fine for club T's and the sort. Is it a boat for the BASS or FLW....perhaps not, but dang its the most fun you can have on the water! :first:
