unless you have stability issues with the f&d go with the extreme....31" is still VERY wide for a yak.

and as for the Malibu drop in "yak sinker" bait tank, I would think twice about that, or at the very least find a way to seal it so no water can get between the tank and the hatch rim and also secure it so if you do tip the bait tank wont fall out and quickly fill your yak with water....they are a cool, low COG design, just not seaworthy out of the box....but than again what is?

If you end up wanting a fat-factor I have a lightly used grey one with all three hatches installed, 4 flushmount rodholders, and a new COD seat you could have for $600.
