23 CC with crow's nest/upper station
 

anyone running a 23 cc with an upper station or crow's nest. Considering it for cobia and offshore fishing and was looking for some feedback on how it effected performance and handling ie pitch and roll. Thanks

I'm interested in the feed back on this one as well. been contemplating the same idea for my 23. Ive see a few done with the center consol top used as the standing platform

There's a 23 on cc craigslist with a I/o that has a crows nest contact him I don't think he's on here.

I've seen some here in south Florida. Id think with the 8 foot beam it would be a little top heavy and cause a lit if rolling in a heavier seas. Im more a fan of the half tower with controls. Here is a post by another of our Florida members

So I had that on my 23' CC when I bought it. I used it a couple of times. The zip access on t-top fabric was a problem area. The only thing I have kept is the aluminum plate you would have stood on. It's mounting surface for antennas, radar, etc. I made a cleaning table out of the tower :) All that said I don't target Cobia often enough for the hassle especially since I trailer the boat.

gods reel you keep your boat at marina shores?

yes i do.

Works great on my 20 SF.....
