Where is the market for such a big bay boat? I live in South Jersey, I own a Fisherman 236 and there are many Grady’s here and I have never seen a Coastal Explorer of any length. Seems like you pay the price in draft to have such a big bay boat. Also, how do you access the upper rocket launchers with the shade in the way?

This is a cruiser. Like I'm going to gut bait on the ' bait prep ' area. Nice boat, but not for fishing

It’s a Bay cruiser, it’s not designed for out front except for dead flat days.

SEATS ARE WAY TOO BIG AND BULKY! POOR, POOR DESIGN!

[@Anon_finder]

If you think those are bulky then you should stick to a pontoon boat

TROLLING MOTOR SUCKS!
