Once he gets in, he won't have to move around, especially if his trolling motor has a remote foot pedal.

I bought my Sea Ark $7000 cheaper from one dealer than what 2 others wanted. X3. Find out where they are made and call the 3 closest dealers. When I bought my Xpress I asked where the highest volume dealers were. Boats were built in Arkansas and Louisiana was the highest selling state. I easily beat $2500 less for the same boat compared to Al dealers. Ethical behavior is doing the right thing when no one else is watching - even when doing the wrong thing is legal. Aldo Leopold ..

In that case you need to look at how easy it is to get in and out of the boat. Look at how hard it is to deploy or stow the trolling motor for an older person and if he has to get on the deck,he might need a step in front of it.

I have fished from them and had zero issues and could not tell any difference than on my Triton.IMO one of the better Alum boat manufacture out there.
