Seabreezers,

Any help/suggestions in regards to the following question will be gratefully recieved. I have read most of the previous van posts and have found them useful but I had a specific question:

I am going to buy a van and set it up with a bed in the back and boards below. The biggest board I own is a Naish Hokua 9' (270cms) and I have no plans on going any shorter. Looking at internal dimensions of the iload/Hi-Ace (both new models) it would seem that that the iLoad is actually quite short (engine placement).

Does anyone have the iLoad who has been able to fit in a board sized 9ft? Would I be able to set it up so the nose/tail slides under the drivers seat?

If I can't fit the board under the bed then I will definetely buy a Hi-Ace.

Thanks
