An Electra-Mate TD-4000 teaser/dredge reel in the overhead. 3. Fold down foot rests for the second row seating. 4. Some sort of seat or at least a brace for the upper helm position. 5. Make all of the deck hatches lockable.

Partially. These are simply replacing the big battle wagons. Lower cost and lower running costs than those. Open ocean, bigger is better and what you think is bigger always shrinks out there.

How are you gonna slide Moby Dick in there? How do you get fish out that are in the middle of that box? So easy to make a hatch that spans that box. @6:25, that tuna door should be reengineered from scratch. I'm not gonna mention other brands but there's better, and less expensive ways to do that.

[@Deepdrop71]

And it was done and a big difference with rhe 600 repower

[@Smokeyr67]

Unfortunately the 600 are extremely heavy, almost twice the weight of the 450 r’s (1260 v 680 lbs). The 500r might be a better option at 720 ish lbs, especially as the 450r is no longer available

[@keepmahaney7412]

⁠@@Smokeyr67I would think that 3 600s would be vastly superior to 4 450s. Roughly the same power, but the mercury 600s are actually designed to go on boats this size so you would probably see large increases in efficiency, range, and convenience because of the counter rotating props, 2 speed transmission and lower steering unit on the mercury 600s. They would also be quieter, much smoother power delivery, and much more reliable than a motor designed for racing applications. It is definitely true that it’s heavier by about 1000 lbs than the four 450 outboard setup but I would assume that 1000 lbs is nothing to a boat of this size. If I could buy one of these I would definitely try to set it up with 3 mercury 600s.👍🏻

[@kennyfrazier4585]

Very nice boat but it being a sport fisher, big ice maker should be a priority in my eyes

I don't understand how this boat could possibly find a buyer, your talking custom carolina type money. Northeast canyon trips are typically overnight 30 hours minimum, thats a long time to be on a center console. And down south theres nothing this boat can do that a 36ft can't.

[@TheVonMatrices]

People who buy these types of boat don't have practicality as a priority. It's about showing off and bragging that you have the biggest boat with the most outboards. Not for me, but apparently there is a market for these boats in south Florida. Also, for these types of big boats, they don't get built until a buyer custom orders one. So it's not like they get built and then someone has to sell it - it's already sold. On many of these big boats, part of the terms of sale is that the manufacturer must be able to occasionally use it for publicity like this video.

No separate shower, a token galley, and what's the point of a separate 'master cabin/berth'? Wasted space. They could have easily cut into the bow seating and arrangement in the interest of more cabin space. Two small portholes? So much for a comfy cabin for weekenders, especially in cold or inclement weather. Yea, I know it's fishing rig first, but I've seen plenty of smaller CCs that accommodate everyone's needs.
