redbay console

the pics of my red bay are posted further up. i find the wide console much better as i can have everything on it. the only time im up forward is to anchor or berth the boat so i dont find it a problem. When i was working on ribs before we always preferred the console closer to the bow so we cood have a bigger working area at the back

Looking good 'coastie. i think I can sum it up in three words: I want one!
Will you be the first verado owner on the forum? I'd be happy with one, but you've got two of them!

Best of luck with it

Alex

Thanks but the site doesn't have any "inside" shots and I was also interested to see GC's boat. Guess I'll have to pop down that way and have a look.

Cheers

Mark
