    I've seen one before, so it isn't a unicorn, just not common. Pros - Seaark builds great boats that last forever (.125 aluminum). I know of 10 people who use them for catfish/stripers/waterfowl, they all swear by their boats.

    Cons - the Easy is a sort of a fish/ski combo that gives up a lot of storage for the lounge area. It looks like an awkward fishing layout, especially for the rear fisherman. The Stealth 210 is a lot better fishing layout.

    My dealer says most boats come no later than 3-4 months, and Seaark has some flexiblity in changing up your boat design.

    The pro from my opinion is that they are known for making a solid premium boat that is tough as nails. There are a couple of models that are on the Arkansas lake I live on sometimes and people really like them. I saw one at DeGray Lake that was the biggest aluminum boat of that style I have ever seen. I talked to the folks and they said it was the biggest they made. They were skiing and tubing from it. They really really liked it and the customer service.

    My daughter and her husband have one that they love. It is a big 20' boat with a 94" beam and a 72" width and is rated for 175 hp. It has a lot of storage including under the lounge seating. It has a person capacity of 8 @ 1100 lb. almost double that of most aluminum boats. They have a 150 Yamaha on theirs and get about 48 mph. The floatation pods at rear and stainless ladder attached to one of them make for easy boarding when tubing. Their is plenty of room for your family to fish, they fish with 5 ( 3 girls) and have no problem.

    This is a curious looking boat for sure. It's like a pontoon bass boat. ( spell check grr)

    That's a very odd layout to me. Might be a good boat for the family I suppose.

    If you take alot of people and like to tow a tube or skiier then its a nice boat but for fishing it looks inconvenient. Especially for the back seater. No room to fish unless you stand in the passenger area. Probly a great boat for its purpose which to me doesnt look like fishing.

    It's a multi purpose family boat mainly. The driver and passenger seat fold down and the seat backs have deck aluminum with gatorhyde to give the rear deck fisherman more room. The table stores away under seat or leave at home. I've fished out of this boat and it was as stable in the water as my Ranger 521 was. But it probably isn't a good tournament boat if that's what you're looking for.

    Just saw this thread. We have a 2013 easy 200. I like it a lot. You can fish out of it just like a crappie boat and let your wife sleep on the bench seats. We had a bass buggy, top speed 12 mph. I wanted something faster. She insisted on bench seats. Ours has a merc 150 four stroke, top speed around 52-54 mph. It's a tough boat. People stop and question us about the boat almost every time we take it out. They find it to be an interesting layout. I fish out of it 95 percent of the time. Did I mention that I wanted a small crappie boat???

    That is a sharp looking rig. Combination bass boat, runabout, and pontoon.

    Thats the key. does it have a towing post on it to? Bet that would tow a tube or skier pretty good.

    Don't know about their fishing boats but, my last unit we ran 34ft Sea Ark Dauntless patrol boats all aluminum 20,000 lb beasts with twin 420hp cummings and jet drives. We put them through hell and they always come back.

    We sell sea arks and haven't sold a easy yet. Just not much call for them I guess. We did just sell a 2072 vfx and it is a nice boat.

    2072 vfx elite cc is my other choice, but the seaark page is awful. any other pictures of this one would be very helpful, too.
    where in mississippi are you? my birthday is coming up, & i was just thinking...

    Just got back here

    The easy 200 doesn't have a tow post, only a ski rope attachment on each side of the transom. The rod storage is under the seats on each side. I wish it had more, but that's what I ended up with. I ordered ours with gatorhide on the floor. It's rough on the knees but no slip and falls so far. I like being able hose it out after a day of catching and carnage
