Why Buy A Center Console Boat

What is a Center Console Boat?

Center Consoles are a type of powerboat with the console located in the center of the boat, halfway between the bow and stern. The hull is open and extends to the bow of the boat, with the deck surrounding the console. This makes it easy to walk around from the bow to the stern.
The hull is constructed of either aluminum or Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic. The hull shape can be a Deep Vee, Modified Deep Vee or Cathedral bottom. Some Center Consoles over 22' may have small toilet facilities located beneath the console. Aluminum and canvas T-tops are available to provide protection from the sun and heat.

This type of boat is also commonly used as a tender for larger yachts.
