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.

I like my cuddy, my personal opinion is that the CC is designed for total fishing, the cuddy can be used for family entertainment.
The cuddy offers storage especially if your CEO is like mine
and says get that fishing $hit outta here, I don't mind, cause I usually
have it where it doesn't belong.

The cuddy allows you to pull up to the local "watering holes" and safely lock up any expensive gear.
Sounds like Lewes is a bad area, but I was always taught that fences make good neighbors.

These are just my opinions, and the final choice is one of YOUR personal preference.

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...

Fire,

Having owned both in many different brands, both designs have very good qualities.


If I were a young guy with no kids, I would have a CC.

I would also look at a dually, you get the bow fishing area, and the windshield.

Three kids and wife require me to have a cuddy.



This one is probably still available, they were asking $1250. *You could make this a real nice one witha little work.




Here is the thread about it.

also anchoring with a center console is much easier than a cuddy.....its gonna be either a console or a dually for me..i anchor way to much for a cuddy......you can always get a t-top with an enclosure for wind blockage.

I've had both over the years and I much prefer the cuddy. I can tell you that in a driving rainstorm you can fit 3 people in the Cuddy while it passes.

Anchoring in the cuddy isn';t bad because you can walk almost to the bow with the slider forward.

Fishing? Where do you fish on your boat. If you fish out of the back, this is a no-brainer, as the cuddy has a huge cockpit. PLenty of people catch more fish that I do, but not because they have a Center Console?

For the areas you are going to fish I'd reccomend the Cuddy. And if ya want, your more than welcome to slip over to the shore and spend an afternoon on mind. We can target some of them 18.5" flounder that VA will be famous for this year. ;D
