Post by nabeelah »

From the experienced guys-wanted to know if a 10ft x 12ft is a good size cockpit?

If you're talking an Alaskan Crab boat NO.....but 99% of the boats here on AAB don't have that size cockpit.

Thanks JW!
I guessed it was a good size but was not too sure.I guess 4 people can easily stand and do hand line fishing. :thumbsup:

sheeeeeeet,

I carry 4 plus me, all the time on my boat. And because of the way I had it set up I have ball room dancing in a 26 footer.

And everyones in the stern behind the console 99% of the time with rods - flaling!!! Not a spool and a string!

Nabeelah, most of our cockpits are 8x10-11x10. Most of our hand troll set ups are 10x10. I can dig a bit deeper for some proportionate photos but here is some ideas.
