    What kind of boat is this?

    The newer ones do, but this appears to be an older one. With the slide n lock pedestals, it is a mid-90s boat. This one needs some Pro-tec and elbow grease!

    Yes it's a 96. I like the walk through stuff but prolly not practical for a bass fisherman who had a partner in back.

    rear fishing deck is still there, just not as big as on a bass boat.

    I've never seen one in person the back deck looks like it's low. Hard to tell from pick.

    Mine has the back deck and it seems fine for bass fishing. You would love those huge live wells. If it doesn't have the rear deck It would not be hard to make one for it.

    My Fishunter is a '98. Pictues look pretty much just like mine (as far as I can tell). Appears to be a 190 Elite.

    I am GUESSING this owner never uses that casting deck as he has rails stretching across the top edge of his splash well. I would trip on those things ALL DAY if they were on my boat. My casting deck stays in unless I'm trolling for walleyes...goes in and out by hand in 2 minutes tops.

    We were in some pretty rough stuff last weekend, and then yesterday we were in some "fun" rough stuff on Michigan at the air show - great rough water boat!!
