New 72′ Bayliss "Old Reliable"-The Cockpit and Beyond

Part 3 of 13: We head to the back of the boat, and up the ladder, where Nick breaks down all the components, from access to the engine compartment, complete with fireproof door, to the diamond pattern on the mezzanine upholstery and the unofficially christened "juice bar."
Old Reliable splashed in July of 2021. The customized craft was purpose built for chasing billfish on fly and recently prepped for a multi-year Pa
cific tour.
And the day before Old Reliable shipped out, Nick Smith and Capt. Chip Shafer provided InTheBite with a guided walk-through to talk about the boat’s personal touches and offshore capabilities. It is rare to see a boat so personally customized for one goal and that is chasing and catching billfish on fly.
