Comfort and Practicality on the Water

The cockpit is arranged to keep passengers connected, with seating distributed between the bow and main passenger area. A straightforward helm layout supports confident operation, while the manageable proportions of the 186 can simplify docking, launching and trailering compared with larger runabouts.
