1999 Marlago center with cuudy Sold Boat in Unknown, NH US

Avowed bachelors are probably the only ones who can get away with buying a big-ticket item like a boat without clearing it first with the wife or serious girlfriend. Builders know this, and that's why layouts with cuddy cabins, enclosed heads and forward or transom seating remain popular. The Marlago 35 Sport Cuddy, built by Jefferson Yachts, is one of those boats that will earn approving nods from both sexes. Yes, it's loaded with comfort considerations to seal the deal. But it also has the necessary features and a wave-conquering hull that serious anglers expect. Who says nobody wins in a compromise?

For weekend trips or to get junior anglers out of the sun, the low-profile cuddy cabin takes full advantage of the wide beam for a roomy enclave. The comfy V-berth is nearly nine feet long with ample storage underneath. An overhead hatch provides ventilation and natural light.

Responding to the trend of networked electronics, the redesigned console was lowered two inches to improve ergonomics without decreasing interior headroom; the under-console compartment has a Sealand vacuum-flush head, a sink and freshwater shower. The freshwater capacity is 31 gallons, more than enough for a long weekend aboard. A second freshwater shower is located at the transom to rinse down rods after lines out. Fuel valves and filters are conveniently located in the step leading to the transom door.

The redesigned 35 is available with a 50-gallon livewell with straddling multi-drawer tackle trays and open storage forward of the tank. That is all incorporated into a comfortable flip-up bolster helm seat arrangement. A 15-gallon auxiliary pitch well can be added to the port transom. To starboard is a bait-rigging sink and cutting board. Thigh-high cockpit coaming pads are standard, along with toe rails, horizontal rod racks and gunwale rod holders. Dual fish boxes in the cockpit deck are large enough to ice down some serious tuna. Both are insulated and equipped with diaphragm pumps and overboard drains. Three more oversized boxes forward, also insulated, will hold the rest of the day's catch or serve as dry storage.

Marlago uses Nida Core vacuum-bagged honeycomb composite in the hull sides, stringers and bulkheads to save weight without sacrificing strength. High-density Klegecell foam core makes up the transom. The finish coat is modified vinylester resin. All hardware is 316 stainless steel and through-bolted.

The 35's hull design starts with an aggressive 50-degree bow entry and transitions to a12-degree pad before increasing again to 24 degrees at the stern. Jefferson Yachts has a long, successful history of building boats, and they took full advantage of that experience to fine-tune the 35.
