Abstract
A commercial sport fishing boat has an upper deck plan which includes forwardly directed walkways extending along either side of a central cabin. The cabin side walls are formed such that they define outwardly directed benches adjacent each walkway while providing adequate interior overhead in the cabin. The walkways and benches increase the boat's linear rail space and therefor the sport fisherman capacity. The boat further includes the conventional equipment of this type of craft.
