Layout and Walk-Through
TROLLING FEVER features a large salon and a galley that is forward to the portside but open to the cabin. Her custom cabinetry and mill work is Teak with a high gloss finish. The mid-level galley is three steps up from the staterooms. The salon is one step up from the galley, ensuring the chief cook and bottle washer is included in all activities. Access to the cockpit is through a centerline hinged teak door with securing latch. Recessed pin spot lighting with dimmers offers the owner ability to adjust to suit the mood.
The Salon represents the ultimate in comfort and style including leather settees and attractive granite tabletops and a matched granite entrance landing. A large leather L-shaped sofa is to port. The salon centerpiece is a custom cocktail table of Granite and Teak with wine storage rack/storage beneath. There are teak storage lockers to starboard with an array of drawers and cabinets, and the stereo system is housed in a center door cabinet. Forward to starboard is a raised dinette with leather L-shape settee, granite tabletop and a tall cushioned designer bar chair. The dinette settee has a teak and holly raised footrest beneath it. The custom electric distribution panels are hidden in forward cabinets across from the galley. Extra large tackle drawers are part of the starboard cabinet. Windows are dark tinted and treated with sliding curtains. A teak safety railing is centerline above on the headliner. To the aft starboard corner of the salon is another smaller leather settee. The TV is mounted center above the dinette settee. The sole is carpeted in the salon area as are the staterooms, the companionway has a teak and holly wood sole.

Construction
The deck and house sides are cored fiberglass sandwich with a foam cored flybridge molding.
The extra large one piece 1/2-inch laminated glass deckhouse windows are frameless and offer strength and security with a practically panoramic view from within and privacy from those outside. There is a large non-skid cockpit deck and built-in custom cabinets on the house bulkhead. The bait prep/cockpit sink and tackle station is to port. A large/deep stainless steel lined freezer chest is to starboard with the cockpit controls in a small cabinet just above on the bulkhead. Live baitwell is towards inboard side of the starboard cockpit console and beneath the non-skid lid which serves as the landing pad to the aluminum flybridge ladder with teak step treads. Teak cover boards surround the cockpit with flush mounted rod holders and a dual purpose transom well. A large transom door and lift-up gate offers ease in landing trophy fish.
The hull is composite construction in vinylester throughout with solid laminate to chine, with a bolted and glassed hull/deck joint. Interior liner parts made of molded fiberglass add to the structure strength. Engine beds run the full length of the motors. Displacement is estimated to be approximately 45,000#. Fuel tanks are fiberglass. The bottom design is basically a deep-V with a wide chine aft and a small keel. Premium quality gelcoat was used.
