The 189 FS offers the most family features possible in a smaller vessel while still being able to handle a serious fishing trip. This is a family-oriented center console with less emphasis on hard core fishing and more on the water sports many families enjoy, such as skiing, tubing, camping, or just cruising on the waterway. It features more seating, cup holders, and storage to accommodate all family members, but we never forget the fishermen. It also includes molded-in rod racks and a generous live well. The bench seat in the rear features removable cushions to convert it to a nice fishing deck as well. With emphasis on comfort, fishing, and safety, your Family Sportsman will feature more seating and storage, even a changing/potty room, while having the fishing features you would expect in any center console design, like rod racks, trolling rod holders, live well, and even a macerated fish box in some models.
