6 meter cuddy cabin or backplaced console fisher

[barry12]

Hi all!!

I'm new here, and want to build a boat cuddy cabin or backplaced console with biminitop in the future.

My wishes:

A large but handable stictch and glue boat for overnights and semi offshore, with outside shower, chemical toilett and cookingplatform. HP max 100.

my plans so far:

Reduce the size of your drawings to 640x480, std Email size.
It looks like a Modified Center console is in your future.

It looks like you are looking for a generic center console design. In this size cuddy cabins are not particularly useful. You give up a lot of fishing room, and I haven't seen a cuddy that was really sizable enough to provide even over night comfort. My advice would be to start with a center console fishing boat, then add a convertible tent that could be snapped into place. It would provide pretty close to the same comfort, but be removable easily for fishing.

Most larger center-cockpits carry a PortA-potti in the center console so that isn't a stretch, but I don't think 100hp would be enough if you want much speed. I would think 200 would be more expected in this size range.

go look around some boatyards pretend you want to buy second hand then either build the design you like or buy second hand ..get s you on the water quicker ..will have value when re furbed and remember many DIY boats never get finished and have little second hand value even when finished 115 on a 6m will get you to 25 -28 kts

Thanks guys for advice!

It will be a modified console boat with removable tent. Indeed a cuddy off this size gives up a lot of space at the bow, so a cuddy is no longer an option.

100HP is the max i had in mind, i prefer lots of lounge/leisure space above speed,
and mostly dutch open water isn't that rough.

Back to the drawing table!

My recent boat is a Zodiac mark2 4.2mtr. It is lots of fun, but only for one day. Stalling, trailering the boat in and out the water, drive home and so on...

You have a point about second hand, console sportsboats are even bought new reasonably priced... especialy now, we have a bad summerseason, and boatyards are selling their boats for dump prices now.
