    Default Bare Bones Center Consoles?

    Trying to hunt down a used fiberglass center console from 18-22’ that is bare bones with an open layout. No boxes, fishing platforms, bait tanks, etc. Been searching the interweb and can’t seem to find any manufacturers that make that type of CC. I know they are out there, does anybody know of any manufacturers that make a boat like that? Maybe commercial/crabber boat makers? TIA

    I have seen some pretty bare Carolina sniff style boats.

    Kenner, Older Parkers, SeaOx, Privateer.

    Check out maycraft. Their duck edition is awesome looking

    Parker and Sea Ox would be a good one to look at, built tough as hell. Kenners tend to be junk.
    Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

    Any boat can be wide open with a sawzall and grinder, plus modifying them is half the fun.

    Old southern skimmer. Bonus points if the previous owner glassed the console up on the front deck. A friend has one and you can fit a car inside the hull there is so much room.

    ETA: search OBX Craigslist. There are a pile of no frills skiffs in the 252.

    Yea, those look awesome but are a bit out of our price range. Max budget is about $15k, going to be a project boat. May-Craft and Parker seem to be the easiest to find used but we aren’t in a hurry. If we could find one, the Judge 22 Shoreman would be ideal.
