2025 Alumacraft Competitor 205X Big Tiller | Premium Fishing Experience | $445 BW

The all-new Alumacraft ­Competitor line of aluminum multispecies boats offers anglers the advantage of a larger aft casting deck without compromising cockpit space or making the boat longer. The addition of X-Pods on each side of the outboard extends the aft deck by 16 inches to give the angler more foot room and make it easier to fish around the motor. Each X-Pod incorporates a stowage space. The X-Pods are not an extension of the running surface but do act as fixed tabs to improve planing performance and handling in turns. The X-Pods are featured on four different lengths of Competitor models, including the 22-foot-2-inch-long 205X Side Console we tested.
