Thanks for the great video and all of the close-up shots. I'll be getting a SSV-18 very soon and this help with decisions on trailer swing tongue, drop-in floors and more.

Its rated for a 40 so that’s what I have on mine and it goes pretty good...

I like the design but I just wish it had the double floor so when it rains you’re not sitting in water all the time. Living in Seattle that’s a big issue.

Great video. I have one of these on order and should be getting it in a couple of weeks. I want to get the foam out of the middle seats and make them into storage like you did. How did you get them cleaned out so well? Other videos I have seen they just cut it out but it's not clean like yours. Again great video and thanks for sharing.

Hey great boat! I Want to get one of these soon!! With the folding tongue, you said the whole thing is 18.5 ft long...is that including the motor sticking out the back to the tip of the trailer folded ?

Just got an ssv 16 putting it on the water tomorrow first time so excited. Our bench seats have the marine vinyl, we bought it secondhand. We'd like to install seats and the seats we got were from a war eagle boat and have a Kingpin base. But I've also looked at Swiveleze bases and wonder why you chose Kingpin and hownthats worked out. I'm concerned with Swiveleze that the bearings will not do well in the salt water environment we are in. I'll also add that 2 of our riders are about 275 to 300 lbs. How sturdy do your kingpins feel? What type screw etc did you use to mount that base to the benches. We aren't going to hollow out the benches so I'm essentially screwing into Styrofoam. Ours is a side console so so Im.hoping to put a chair for the driver and one on the bench next to it. Thx

Fuckin Beauty! Just bought one for myself after watching this. Great review!

I know this is a older video but why don’t you guys put a bolt thru your motor mount so you don’t loose your motor?

Do you have any issues with water getting into bench seats after cutting them to create storage. I was thinking about doing the same on mine.

I had mine locked over 40 years ago and a guy broke the wing left the lock on and tried to sell it back to me lol,oh yea I never paid him!
