Smoker Craft Adventurer 188 Pro DC

[@trapin68]

I studied this boat pretty closely at the Detroit Boat Show back in January. It appears they bench marked the Lund Impact series when designing it....which was smart. VPS is basically Smoker/Star's take on Lund's IPS hull. It's also the exact same length and width as the Impact. Smoker/Star makes a great boat but what I don't like about this model is the minimal tackle storage options. Instead of that cooler under the passenger console, I would want drawers for tackles boxes. Also...you gotta get rid of those cheap $10 collapsible cup holders (especially for the Driver/Owner) that are screwed into the walls; a $40K boat should not have those. Again...it's a great first take, they just need to dot some I's and cross some T's on it. I am still in the market for a boat next season and would love to go against the grain (Lund/Alumacraft) and own a Smoker/Star....but with these oversights I will have to pass. Hopefully they are addressed for 2021.
