Thanks Sheff, and yes access to the bilge area comes into play here also. There is a lot to be considered. Then we also have room in the rear for flotation. Its not required on a boat over 20 though we focus hard on enough flotation. Some can recall a few recent incidents where a boat was impacted by another and the boat in our brand continued to float level while the safety personel worked the incident. Even towing it in tied to a TPW boat with the side exposing the floor area at water level. That one was not a good situation though one easier for the safety crew and officers to handle. Other incident prior in that area of TX have been handled much similar with better personal results due to our focus in this area. The boxes are not square and the rear area is maximized to hold two power pole pumps, four large batteries, oil reservoir and dual 26 gallon fuel tanks. All of this while gaining reasonable access to the bilge area for service when many cover the bilge area requiring a fuel tank be removed for service. The set up also offers good seat storage and while you cant drop a soft pack in the storage, you can fit everything in there it holds, including Plano boxes. BCB
