Constructed with a full sun shade, horn, spreader lights, and four start/stop switches, the tower provides elevated observation and fighting positions for offshore species. Two 24-volt Miya Epoch electric teaser reels, mounted in custom-molded hardtop pockets, enable live-bait teasing to attract billfish and large pelagics. The tower includes a bench seat with backrest for the captain or crew, a 12-inch Garmin screen for independent navigation and sounder access, and six polished rod holders welded to the aft legs. Hydraulic Rupp outriggers with a 33-foot solid back bar and dual electric rigging support standard offshore trolling spreads. Rupp rollers facilitate smooth line-release operations, while tower controls for steering and trim tabs allow the captain to manage boat attitude and outrigger position from the elevated station. Six recessed Lumitec tri-colored lights throughout the tower structure support night fishing and deck illumination. The cockpit fishing layout includes a 6-hole release teak battle saddle with integrated bait tray, two cup holders, and a tackle drawer for immediate access to rigging materials. Rod storage extends to six polished rod holders on the rail behind the hardtop, a molded-in rod locker on each side of the hardtop, and a dedicated rod storage locker in the cabin. A large insulated fish box with macerator system, transom fish box with freezer plate, and plum live well integrated into the transom fish box provide comprehensive catch handling and preservation.
