    F195 deck

    I'm looking to buy my first bass boat and keep reading great things about Falcons, particularly the ride and deck. Forgive me if this is a dumb question but the specs say the beam is only 93". Most other boats are 95 and the Skeeter zxr20 is 99. Am I missing something in regards to the relation of the beam and deck size?

    Your reading correctly at 93 for a F195.....but you cant compare that to a zxr20 which is a true 20.4 ft boat. The 195 is a 19.5 ft boat, if you want to compare apples to apples compare the zxr20 to the F205.

    Thanks...in my glassy eyed reading of the reviews, I think most of the praise for the deck size was in regards to the 205.

    When I demo'd a 195 I wasn't very impressed with the deck. It felt smaller than the deck on my Triton 18XS. The 195 doesn't carry with the width towards the bow like the 205 or my Triton does. If that makes sense.
