I have been looking for a walk-through cabin design for ages,so when we knew that we were going to Tassie I PM'd snelly1971 to see if I could call and have a look at his.
While the design may not suit everyone I am surprised that the main manufacturers do not build some boats like this in their range.
I think it is the ideal fishing machine
It allows for easy handling of anchoring and tying up to piers etc.
And it utilises the full boat for fishing.
With some of the modern pleasure boats the fishing area is often less than a car top tinny.
One or two can fish at the bow ,instead of all crowding around the back of the boat.
While a lot of buyers buy a boat with bunks it is only a very small percentage actually spend a night on the water.
I was lucky that it rained where Mick had been working as he invited me to join him and his mate Steve for a run out through Hell's Gates.
I will report that trip on Reports Offshore.
