Went to Suffern NY Outdoor show today and got to see plus crawl around in CR Marines recently received 2018 models. Met some family members and great talks with the Pauls. The Lynx is amazing. Paul P. did a great job with the colors. Thought the pictures make the hull look black its really a deep red (Malibu red). Classic is very fishable with a large deck as advertised. Lots of storage though rod storage takes a different plan I think then conventional designs. If I was loading it, I d put the rods I use most in the center locker with tackle underneath for over the road. Those rods would go on deck at the lake giving full access to tackle stored in large area under rod organizer. In the port rod locker Id put poles I want to have handy but may not necessarily going to start out with on the deck. I.E. egg beater set ups and drop shot bait cast rig among others. I like how you can customize where TM peddle can be placed and two front deck post holes. Console is large to provide losts of protection. It would be tough pick between new Classic and traditional P II set up. Plus and minuses for both. Id be interested in hearing how those who have the new Classic organized the locker up front. There are probably several ways to do it. Pictures below. Pardon the fingers….Brian
