This is a great fishing and diving boat. In a pilot house, you can button up in rough weather to keep warm and dry and it is unusually cool on a hot day. The large fishing and diving area out back can easily accommodate 6 fishermen and is very comfortable for diving as well. The porta-potty and sleeping room will accommodate 2 comfortably. The deep V and solid construction distinguishes this boat from the rest of its class. With the engine on an Armstrong bracket and the bow pulpit the overall 29+ feet’ from the bow to the aft of the engine makes this boat handle the seas extremely well.
