welcome to the site crazy.
i see you didnt get a response for pics.maybee a bit more info might help.like decide if you prefer a centre or half cab or a console.or maybe go to the web sites of some plate boat builders and check out the standard layouts and then once you have the basics sorted try again and im sure you will get a hand.
try fisher boats homepage you will get heaps of pics there ;)
cheers scotty

Thanks Nofrills,
Fisher boats is the brand that i am closely looking at. the 660 maxi series (centre cab). i will probably be getting the extended canopy, side rocket launchers on the hardtop, seat boxes, electric anchor winch (what brand is the way to go for these?) ect ect. What i was mostly wondering is a good fishing layout in that sized boat and what would be the essenstial(s) for a 1-2 night trip. :-/. also i would have a 90 ltr evakool in the centre of the deck (probably lined for extra comfort :) :)).
Cheers
Do yourself a favour,and call Col at Fisher,and discusss this with him,He has pics of all sorts, for you to look at.Tell him David sent you.
He would be the best to help you through the layout process. Nothing is too much trouble.

Hey their Crazy
Great Advise From Scotty (no frills)
The big problem you will face is their is heaps of so called boat builder's out their in the market place all willing to show of their shinny rig's and get you signed up!
Do yourself a big favor and call Col for a free CD , their is loads of different set ups including the new "command concole concept" recently on the front cover of F&B (Fisherman & Boat Owner)or better still go down to the factoy at Bribie and he will show you "The Fisher Difference" You wil truely see boat's built by fishermen for fishermen.Their attention to detail is second to none.Have a close look at the welding standard it's BS.This will atleast give you an idea what to look for when checkin out other rig's. I did speak to Col a few week's ago and i recall him mention someting about four 6.6 maxi's on the production line at the moment,so mabee sooner than later my be the call!!
Anyway Mate good luck with it all but make sure ya check em out otherwise you will truely be "Crazy"
Cheer Payney ;)
