With the styles we fish a centre console is the perfect option, when lure fishing being able to stand on the forward platform and cast away without any hinderance is a great feature it adds a game changing element to targeting fish with lures, not only for casting but chasing down fish which we recently did on our first marlin, sit up the front and chase the fish down rather than backing up into the swell, you get the benefit of a full walk around with the stability to boot with the extended chines and widened gunnels, in my opinion it’s the perfect boat
