Does any one know the dimensions for the GT, I am considering getting the boat but now sure how if I can fit my legs into it or not and what the width and length is. Unfortunately CD doesn't have any of this stuff on their website. Go figure??

I hope that this helps you in your search, I have the catalogs from several other manufacturers as well if you need other information.

From: "Kirby Stevens" <stevens_at_islandnet.com> > Does any one know the dimensions for the GT, >From the 2000 catalog (note that they've made changes for 2002) LOA 17'7" Beam 24.25 in. Depth 14.5 in. Weight 55/49 lb (glass/Kevlar) cockpit 16x31 in. volume 400/106 (liters/US gal.) You can add 0.75" to the depth and 52 liters to the overall volume for the high volume version. No idea what the XL version is like. The length from seat back to forward bulkhead is in the range of 55-60 inches (crudely estimated from measuring me seated to where I think the bulkhead is.)
