Video Transcript

"In this clip we're going to talk about features of most sit on tops. Typically they'll have grab handles for and aft, they'll have dry storage on the bow, movable foot pegs, self bailing drain holes here, so if water comes in the boat it drains out. Substantial seat back and then in the stern behind Ron you'll see a wet area so you can have storage back there for dry bags, or in this case a box that he can put his fishing gear and tackle in. This particular boat has a place on the side where he can put his paddle, stow his paddle while he's fishing. And there are ton of accessories you can buy for these type boats. From rod holders and anchor rigs, electronics holders, so if you want to hold your GPS or a depth finder on the boat. Just all sorts of things so you can really outfit this boat for your particular liking."
