I currently own a 1991 searay 170 bow rider. It has been a good boat for us this summer, but i happened on a 1999 searay 180 that i want to upgrade to.

I have a few questions that i cannot find on the searay spec sheets.

my manual says the 170 i have is 16.8 ft hull and 18.2ft with platform. all i see is 18ft even for the 180 with no specification as to if that means with or without platform. It the 180 roomy enough? i normally run 2 adults and 2 kids, but sometimes 4 adults and 2 kids.

does the 180 have fiberglass floors? I know my 170 is fiberglass over plywood.

does the 180 have the built in ice chest? im pretty sure this is a searay thing, but i like ours and i hope the new one has it.

is this a good upgrade? i know the owner, and he is basically selling it to me for what i can sell mine for, so i would assume yes.

thanks in advance.
