Questio was more about gunnel height. Tall ones get in the way of pitching jigs.

It's called freeboard,

Talking about distance from the deck to the top of the gunwale not from the waterline to the top. But thanks for being helpful.

Had ALOT of bass boats over the last 10 years and switched to a 621 Ranger this Spring.. LOVE IT.. Plenty of room to store all the gear, added a rear deck extension I can take out when its time to troll or perch.. Yes you loose some front deck space but well worth it..

John,

How is the rod storage? How many can you carry?

I carry 12 in my 621vs.

Is 12 max? Or can you double up and squeeze a few more in?

I found it difficult to double up spinning rods. Not enough room for the reels next to each other. Baitcasters I could double up no problem if I wanted to.

I fish out of a 2016 Triton Allure, Awesome boat not the fastest also love the 4 - strok mercury. I am a family man first fishing second. Works for us, kids get to ski,tube all summer and I fish the rest of year..

I carry a lot of rods. Not sure number but I keep Rod Gloves on all my rods. So that makes it easy to double them up in a rod tube.

I switched from my bass boat to a multi-species about 9 years ago and have NEVER looked back.
I have a Triton 205 with an Evinrude 225HO and a 15hp kicker.
Inland lakes for Bass, Smallmouth/Walleye in Saginaw Bay, panfishing, etc.
I really like staying dry out on Saginaw Bay.
Lots of rod storage.
Like others have said, it is a little harder to pitch/flip from than a bass boat. A little practice and I was good to go.

Nitro ZV21, simply put a bass boat on steroids, bred for the great lakes
