Ok folks. We’re starting to think about #3. Biggest change is that I want to go from seating for 6 inside the cabin down to 4-5. Leaning more towards 4. If we have more than 4, 1-2 others can nap on the bean bags. Seats will still have shockwave suspension and swivel bases.
This is the boat we’re keeping. It needs to be set up for all the fun out of Westport. That means cough, cough, ugh, salmon fishing too.
I’d like to have 1-2 nice tackle stations inside the cabin, 1 with some sort of table top for food prep. No sink, no fridge, no stove. Useful storage doors, drawers, cubbies, etc. The other for fishing tackle, tools,, etc.
Minutes 3-4 show the interior seating,
From front to aft, I’m thinking right behind the Capt and mate seats. Remove both middle seats and shorten the entire cabin by the length of those seats (18” or so).
There will still be a Capt side door and drop-down curtains for the aft of the cabin. May or may not do a mate’s door. I’d also like to take a few inches off the cabin length and slide the whole house aft a few inches.
I’m figuring the tackle stations between the helm and buddy seats so that buddy seats are as far back as can be, which means more comfort for them. And, the buddy seats will swivel aft while we’re trolling, so I don’t want tackle stations in the way.
I’m thinking about having 3-4 drawer rows at the bottom, FACING INBOARD. These would start at the floor and go about 18-20” tall. They could be about 24” deep and 12-13” wide. Maybe more like 2 trays at the bottom, each for 2 Plano 3700 tackle boxes end to end (I have boat tools in 4 waterproof stowaways). Then a drawer or two for larger items.
Above those have side x side trays for 10 Plano 3700 boxes that FACE AFT. That compartment would be 24” x 16” deep x 20” tall. We’re pushing 40” tall, or so.
The port side could have more Plano boxes, but for sure areas for boat food, meal prep, and the champagne/wine chiller
Show me what you have and like, what you’ve had and didn’t end up liking, or what you’ve seen that you think would be cool. I need ideas of what to have for these things. Please.
