I am new to the site and have been in search of a economical pre-owned center console fishing/leisure boat. The wife really enjoys sunbathing and there is not much room on most CC to meet her satisfaction that fit within our budget. Any knowledgable boaters know of a manufacturer that offers such a beast?

most center consoles do offer bow cushions that cover the storage lockers/fish boxes. good place for the ladies to relax.

There is a variation on the CC theme called the bay boat. These have an elevated platform in the bow for fly casting. Which might also serve for sunbathing - Such bay boats have become popular lately, there are many brands for these.Kelly Cook

I just purchased a Polar Center Console Bay Boat and the family loves it. We got the bow cushions which are nice and roomy for the kids to hang out on and are easily removable for when you want to get more serious about fishing.I was also hoping to find a CC in good condition but just couldn't seem to find anything to meet my expectations and power options. It seemed to me that the CC's that were used primarily as fishing boats had been beat. However, if you look long and hard enough you will probably come across something your comfortable with.Good LuckKevin

I built a casting deck on my rig and got my better half one of those inflatable things you lay on and float in the water. She can lay it on the casting deck, get her sun, and all is well.
