    Not a Bullet owner but a question

    Without starting a discussion on ride versus hull design, which Bullet model has the widest deck at the TM.

    I wonder if Bullet has ever considered making a 21/10" boat with a wider front deck. I think the narrow deck is the only thing that may steer some buyers toward other brands.

    I was kind of concerned about it so I went fishing with a guide that had the boat I wanted, had no problems with the deck being a little more narrow, I fished up front with the guide most of the day.

    The way it fishes with the front seat in depends alot on where the base is located. My XRS fishes fairly narrow with the seat in because my base is so far forward. I wish it was about a foot farther back, but I rarely have the need for the seat. Without the seat, the front deck feels large. Definately wide enough for 2 to fish comfortably. We do it all the time. I've fished 3 a good bit too when flipping reeds and mats.

    I wish I did not need the but seat but my balance is not the greatest because of a bum knee, if it is calm I have no problem but when it is rough I need the seat for balance, I did have them put two holes for the butt seat so I can move it farther back if I want.

    Next time I order a boat getting two holes up front , I rarely use a seat but when it's in its not a problem but more space would be good especially using the ultrex on auto I don't need to have a foot on the pedal . ... it's plenty big enough when I say narrow just mean compared to some other brands.

    Oh it's fishable as is for sure. I find myself having my son on one side of the seat and me on the other lol. Guess that might be asking a little much of it. The 10 or so rods we have on the deck at all times doesnt help.

    I've fished a bullet from around the early 90s. Either mine or my partners we have always fished 2 up front and we crank a lot of times.my sst just seams a little narrower but we do fish a junked up deck with rods. It is very easy to get used to. And the benefits of a bullet out weight a little narrower deck. IMO.
