Picked up a trailer from a guy the other day and he had a centre consol F14. There's not a lot of space in them, it was only 1200mm wide internal. I think I would have trouble sinking it though.

I feel your pain.
We spent the Christmas break up north, Doubtless Bay out in front, classic small shallow northland harbour 10 mins drive away, game fishing further out if you have something big enough to get out there. Hard to find a compromise.
It's entertaining watching some of the idiots trying to get there boats back on the trailer on the beach though . One boat is now missing a cabin top after going turtle.
You can swap the outboard mounts on the back of the smartwaves to suit a longshaft motor but the back is still low enough in the back you will get water over the back if the waves are catching you.

its all those aucklanders coming up for the chrismas break barefoot
they overrun the place over christmas
I like the f14 its a nice little boat that you can stand up in
If I end up with more money than sence ill be geting one with a center console for solo fishing and ease of evening beach launch sort of thing for a quick pop out
in this size you are right on the verge of sit down only and standing capable
Do you have acess to a press brake?
do I?
only the one at the local engeneers that they charge for
I just go in with my bit to be bent and get them to put the angle on it that I ask
If that wasnt for me then well foot in mouth as usual
Na we dont have one...we mostly use a very old light one in the buisness next door. Which i would have to pay for or pay even more for a cnc one to be used down the road.

Well the Mrs has said I can't build a new boat (read take over the carport all winter) last week, but I am allowed to buy one . Even better the business owns me a fair bit of coin.
Was considering the Fish City boats (Rambo6mm offered a trip in his one) but looking at one of these now Seaforce Marine NZ.
Very flash for me, but the Mrs wants to start coming out and it's getting a balance of comfort and practicality when I'm using it by myself.

The FC centre consoles are very nice for the money, esp the inner harbour. They need a bit of shade though
Also nothing to break a bit of a cold breeze if you are into a winter fish, or after a dive and you're wet
Yea im not sure what the attraction is with center consols.
No protection from the elements and very little deck space.

The range of what we think and do is limited by what we fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds
