When your mission calls for a rugged center console that has to stand up to unforgiving offshore conditions, consider a time-tested hull design with a heavy bow flare. Three-piece construction that includes the hull and deck hand-laminated together produces an incredibly strong hull. Bow seating doubles as three individual storage compartments with the port and starboard boxes doubling as fish boxes. The center console has a huge flat face for electronics and is large enough to step down inside for a head. The full transom adds a measure of safety, as does the self-bailing cockpit. Outboard power is supported by a fiberglass bracket, which increases the hulls floatation and makes a great swim platform.
