Looks beautiful...love the look.
Clean and easy to maintain has become my new most favorite look.


Fighting Chair seems low...on purpose or maybe picture is distorted...or I am used to a higher chair.

I like the idea of mounting the outriggers to tower floor.


Now its time to get the boat bloody!
So go use it and Enjoy!!

Great job.

Love the cockpit layout and transom fish box, also how the engine boxes are extended forward. Whoever did the work on the enclosure really did great work. Very nice how it connects on the sides of the top and the bit I can see around the helm. Is that a vent on the top of the enclosure?

Carl, I think the chair is set up like Bob Lico's where you give up the footrest for a lower chair that you can put your feet on the deck.

Thanks, guys.
Carl, peter got it right about the chair...I stole Bob's idea. Peter, those are vents at the top of the enclosure, and, they seem to work well.
Thanks.
John.

John,

I saw similar vents on the bridge of a 50' something a few years back. It had screening in it, not sure if that was just to keep everything tight since the aft end was open, it wasn't keeping out bugs. But it provided a nice amount of ventilation while keeping you dry. It's on my list when I redo the canvas.

How is the canvas secured at the bottom, is there a full track around the edge? Almost seems like there is a gasket there. With a solid strip across the top?

Is the transom box just a fish box or is it plumbed as a well?

Peter,
The enclosure is secured on top with aluminum c channel and at the bottom with plastic c channel...no gasket. The enclosure is made out of Macrolon, which doesn't roll up, but, is secured by pinning the curtains under the tower with twist fasteners. The transom can be used as a fish box or live well.

The time spent re-doing her was time well spent. She looks great.
