But the internal features are a bit more basic. It still features the adjustable bulkhead footrest and multiple deck grabs. But the main difference is the slightly more basic seat system and the lack of the step out pilar. However, the ratchet backrest and thigh braces still offer great support, comfort, and control over the boat.
