In Debt...
This is our quicksilver 540 cuddy with a 90hp evinrude etec. Ive had her 2 seasons now and me and jo love her now we bit the bullet and repowered from 50 to 90. Its so much more of a useable boat. Its been a learning curv going from sib to grp hull but its a good move.
Idealy id love a sib toooooo but my wife would literaly kill me.
I know ive shown too many piks now but i see the darkside and thought why not lol

Nice boat that Matt.
I've not seen pictures of the layout before.
A lots of sports fishers in this size don't have rear seats, something that's put me off.
I must admit that recently I've become more interested in this style of boat.
There's a Karnic 2050 in poole I've been meaning to go and have a look at....

Thanks andy
Their not bad boats andy for space. Designed for social seating like u say with table mounting inside cuddy and out 2 caotains swivel chairs and the rear seats that all come out when i go fishing as fish guts on the leather would not go down great. Its not an out and out fun machine but it delivers the speed i want just over 30+ knots and can take 4 comfortably 2 for fishing.
Good buy that im very happy with.

I hadn't seen the photos before so I'm glad you re-posted them. Very nice! Love the upholstery.
That engine is sweet.
How comfortable are your aft seats? I've been thinking about doing something similar with ours.
Wrote a note said, 'back in a minute'. Bought a boat and I sailed off in it.
