2008 CARAVELLE BOATS 196 F/S , Functional features and conversion capabilities are what seperate a Caravelle fish & ski from the rest. Unlike any other Fish & Ski boat, the 196 features a convenient walk-thru transom. It also converts from a fishing boat to a ski boat with very little effort. With the 196 you get a great fishing boat with the comfort, safety and good looks of a runabout.
