The motor will be a Mercury 4 stroke 115 hp(no jet). The reason for the stand up center console is that most of the bay and offshore boats I have fished on have been center consoles and I love the ability go walk all the way around them. I built the console myself. It is made with 3/4 ply and is painted with durabak coating. I will use the same coating but textured on the deck.
