One of the first conversations the Back Cove Design Team had about the Back Cove 37, centered around fishing. Many of us like to drop a hook over the side and others like to land the big one. Ultimately we had to decide if we wanted to provide a real fishing cockpit for the serious fisherman or a cruising cockpit with plenty of seating.
We chose the latter and in this industry it has always been true that “you cannot please all of the people all of the time.” Some of our prospects who loved the concept of a single diesel engine fishing machine were disappointed. We feel that we “served to the wide side of the court” and that serious fishermen are going to buy boats that were designed for their passion. Sure, we can install rod holders and some may even consider a half tower, but the seats are part of the deck. Not only has this added considerably to storage but it gives us a stronger deck part as well.
And as for the ultimate goal of getting the most sociable cockpit we could, we have succeeded. Working with our cushion supplier S+S fabrics we have created comfortable seating for you and a half dozen of your closest friends. When the raft-up happens you can bet the gathering will be on the Back Cove 37
