The Compass has a 34 in wide hull with a flat, oversized cockpit for standing in calm water. The MirageDrive 180 gives forward and reverse, and the Kick-Up Fins retract on impact in shallow water. It comes with an aluminum-frame mesh seat, pre-installed rod holders, H-Track accessory mounts and a transducer cavity ready for a Lowrance fishfinder.
