you missed a super nice CC, I had posted one that Bass came to NC from NE to pick up.

Well said! I'm going to stick with my search for a CC. I see so many that are cuddy it's making me question whether I should get one. When I think about what I want to use it for (fish meat in the freezer) I really know that I want the increased deck area of the CC. Thanks for helping me stay focused. Now to find that boat...... :D

I had 2 center consoles before i got the cuddy(19 mako & 21 hydrasport). I loved both , but then my daughter came along and we needed the dry storage for all of the baggage kids require. That was 17 years ago and we still have the cuddy. to me a cc is like a motorcycle, when the weather is right, the ain't nothin better, but the cuddy is like takin your mom's station wagon to the prom. It 's not as cool but plenty of room and comfort to get the job done. As i get older, i tend to go toward comfort. as far as fishing, the cuddy does great on trolling and bottom fishing, but casting on the flats is not so great. either one is a great choice.

HOWEVER. . . . .
where are you located?
you are aware that they are harder to find?
you are also aware that they are more expensive?
do you know that there isnt much storage?

I like the Cuddy much better than a CC. It's a much drier ride, lotza storage space and affords some cover from cold winds while at anchor.

I am a cuddy guy!! I store all kinds of things in there and all stays safe and dry!!

As for room, I think a cuddy has twice the dance floor for fishing then a CC does! In the cc i always have the cc in my back or the seat in the way or the cooler up front that is used for storerage in my way.

But what the CC offeres is acess to the bow when fighting a big fish who can't make up its mind!!

Nothing beats a full windsheild of a cuddy when it gets nasty! Everyone is dry not just the stinking driver!!

There is a thread here with a couple of pictures of a enclouser on a CC They look weird and they still offer nothing to the passanger.

Charlie the Tuna: *I'm in Virginia. *I'm not too worried about storage as it will be used primarily for fishing by myself or one other person. *Chesapeake Bay, Hatteras, and Eastern shore of VA is where I plan on using it. *I fish freshwater all year round and can "take" colder weather (dress right.) *I've been on the Bay in some pretty sorry weather and don't mind getting a little wet now and then. *Spray in the face when it's cold makes me feel alive!

Darn, Skool, don't tease me about the one that got away. *Let me know of any others you run up on. *I'll consider all conditions.

Thanks everyone, keep it comin'. *I'll find my boat yet. *I must have that flare of the V!!

MJ: darn it, now you got me thinkin again...
