And a homemade removable drop in bass deck like they have for bigger lund tournement boats. Also a built in stereo and livewell somewhere on the boat.

I just can't stand having to pass bait back and forth. I fish mostly with leeches and/or worms on long trips but like to add minnows to my arsonal (sp). Since I fish a lot of back lakes where an 18fter won't easily get into I am seeing a 3 person 16/14fter designed similarly. Definately lots of food for thought.

I think it would be better if lund made an ssv 17 footer which would be a better size for conversion
