Iboats had a good idea creating separate forums for select boat manufacturers...Yea this forum does not get feedback very often, but lets get the SeaPro forum rolling...I know this would have been great when I was deciding whether or not to purchase a SeaPro. With that said....
I purchased a SeaPro 180cc (17'6") center console with a 90HP Yamaha 2-stroke. I fished with this boat in the Chesapeake and recently in the fresh water areas near my current home. Overall, this boat is awesome! Here are my only 5 complaints:
1. Anchor compartment hatch seems like an afterthought and does not latch the lid properly in waves
2. Only rust I found is forming under starboard seat threads
3. Access to transom for kicker motor is restricted to main outboard fuel line rubber boot.
4. Rear rod holders are a bit far back and would be nice to have a different angle than the holders towards the front.
5. Center rear bench seat is awesome, but cushions are not removable (new models got rid of rear center seat..why?)
Overall I am most impressed by the boat's ability to get in real shallow spots while handling small waves fairly well. Also I like the lightweight design and very quick plane ability. Would purchase another one!
