Re: 1976 23' hell on reels
 

that's coming along real nice! How do you access the electronics? from under house? are you going to put any vents or access doors in the console?

Your going to loose SO many fish tangling the lines on that swim platform.
:rolleyes:

Looks very nice. Just curious (and I'm sure you've thought of this), won't the extended port side of the doghouse create a blind spot for you? Also does it hinder movement from the helm?

Re: 1976 23' hell on reels
 

I have seen a few other guys with the same setup, notice the controls on the 'open' side of the console. When your fishing alone, having the rod right beside you on the rail is the best place for it. Having even a small wall to stand beside when its cold, windy, spray etc is even BETTER! I also know he fishes alone most of the time.

I can simply just tilt/hinge the house forward to access all the wiring and electronics/engine. The left side does kinda creat a blind spot but its not that bad, I can simply just look around it.
