The wider 98” beam of the 215 XTS makes a stable fishing platform and gets you in-and-out of those tight fishing spots. 3-across jump seats, 2-aerated livewells, 20 rod holders, built-in tackle storage and 2-insulated fish boxes are some of the “loaded out” features that make this our boat of choice.
