Looks really great Kracker! I like the hawse pipes at the stern. Nothing but the little details now.

Makes me want to fix up another one. Great Job!!

Bradford im a true believer in slick and clean gunwales! Seen to many fish lost due to exposed cleats and hardware. So hawse pipes were a must.

Yours really is beautiful. Mine had 6 inch cleats mounted on the top of the cap. When I re did it I went with 8 inch with just the two thru bolts instead of four for a cleaner look and also moved them down to the lower lip so they are tucked in a little and are on the same plane as the mid ship and bow cleats. I love my 85, but if and when I do another it will be a hull with the separate deck and cap like yours. I'm all about simple clean and functional with minimal rigging. Love your console as well. Gonna be swapping the one I have on my skiff out and I considering just building one so I can get exacting what I want.

Bradford i purposely wanted a small short console. This boat has been very well thought out. I have fished way to many boats with ridiculously huge tall and wide consoles. I dont get it! I like to be able to have good 360 degree visual on a boat. I also simply need a tach, gps/sonar,compass,steering wheel,controls,and a small switch panel. I dont need any more than that hahaha!!! The key is keeping it simple. When i get a t-top all the electronics will go up there. People make things to complicated!

Looks great, very clean and simple. Whats the round thing next to the shifter, tachometer?

Yea thats the tach......the only gauge a fishing boat needs
