Consider the amount of weight of a cuddy cabin and how far forward that is...keeping in mind the cuddy and the CC are carried by exactly the same hull...in a cuddy, if I need to lift the bow, it's easily done...If were mine I'd be looking to put some working room AFT of the console...leaving room to get from port to starboard and back at the whim of your prey...

I originally thought the same thing Reel did. It having so much weight forward with the cuddy on it I thought I would be fine with console placement.I am not glassing it down though.

Looks good Kracker. The console for the 18 Fish I have needs that. Its a flimsy mess. Funny you are putting plywood in and I am ripping it out.

I worked on the V today. I finally mocked up the arch for the bow cap and what a pain in the @$$. I will glue the 2 pieces together in place and let it kick off then I will remove it from the boat and radius the bottom edge then glass it up. After its glass up I will then glue and screw it back on the boat and glass it in place.

Good to see it coming along. The arch looks to add a nice finishing touch.

Now that I sit back and look at my boat there is not much I would change because the design is going to be about as simple as it gets and when it comes to fishing simple is the best way to go. But I would change one thing....compsite material and epoxy!!! Man I wish it was affordable for us poor folks. I would run this boat the rest of my life if I used composite material. Oh well.....back to my bloody Mary drink.
