Accommodations
The cockpit of any great fishing vessel is where all the action is and that is very true on LIMITED EDITION. Her teak clad
cockpit is easy on the feet and easy on the eyes. A built in molded tackle center complete with freezer, sink, storage and bait prep
area lies along the starboard forward section of the cockpit. A center line engine room hinged hatch provides easy access to the
Engine Room. Facing aft, one finds the ultimate fighting chair, a fully equipped Murray with foot-rest, set in the center of the
cockpit. There are 2 in-deck storage boxes and a centerline deck hatch provides great access to the steering gear and storage area.
The teak covering boards, transom door, and fresh water shower and salt water wash down complete the cockpit area. Up 1 step, one
enters the main salon or take the ladder to the bridge deck and on up the full sized Tuna Tower to the buggy top. Full rocket
launcher, numerous rod holders on the tower legs, 37' Lee outriggers (new) and a center rigger will make sure that you can get enough
lines in the water for everyone on board to take part in the action.
