Had a chance to see the new Caracal this weekend at local boat show. Based on prior reviews on here and elsewhere, I was really excited and figured this could be my next boat. Currently have a Eyra. The boat is really laid out well and the new front deck is awesome. All the feature previously discussed on here are spot on. There is a lot of great features for a 19 boat. The boat I looked at was a dual console which is what I would want. The space between the consoles is really limited with the offset seating and console. Also, if you like to sit on the front deck while you retie or change baits and have access to tackle storage, the dual console does not work. there is no place to sit and do this unless you opt for a single console. I am a bit height challenged at 58″ and noticed it is hard to reach the steering wheel unless you give up back support from the seat. If you are taller you will really like the extra leg room provided by the boat vs the Eyra which fits me perfectly. Lastly, if you are used to bigger rear storage you loose some of that as can be expected by dropping down from a bigger boat. There is not much room in the storage behind the passenger seat for a partners tackle so most of it will need to be on the floor or secured on the back deck. Other than these few items that might be unique to my likes and dislikes the boat is pretty impressive. The wider deck is really noticeable. Well done BCB.
