When it comes to professional fishing, a single upgrade can be the difference between second place and first. Having that step ahead of the competition is not just a desire: it is a necessity if you want to stay competitive against your fellow anglers.
That is why the 675 has earned its place as the “Ultimate Bay.” Every aspect of this bay boat has been designed with high performance in mind, from the large storage capacity and premium quality lids to the ergonomic seating and efficient drainage system. Here, we have broken down five of the reasons the 675 Ultimate Bay is able to stay a step ahead of the competition.
Large Storage Capacity
The 675 Ultimate Bay has incredible storage capacity. The front deck includes an anchor locker, two multipurpose storage compartments, two rod lockers, and an additional storage compartment located in the floorspace in front of the console. Then, the aft deck features two livewells, one underneath the bench and a second next to the swim ladder. There is also a battery compartment to the other side of the bench livewell and bilge access located behind the bench.
Not only is there plenty of storage for all of your rods and reels, but the multipurpose nature of the compartments makes them flexible to whatever your needs are for that specific fishing trip. Whether you are storing life vests, tackle boxes, or other fishing gear, there is plenty of space for all of your needs.
Premium Quality Finished Lids
All of our storage compartments are secured with premium quality finished lids. When the lids are closed and secured, they function as easily navigable deck space. Once you pull up the handle, you spin the handle around in order to unlock the compartment. Then, when you want to close the lid, you simply twist it back in place and pop the handle back in place. This design makes it so the lids stay securely closed while still being easy to open.
Not only are the locking mechanisms premium quality, but so are the lids themselves. These lids are made by fishing boat manufacturing experts in Pensacola, Florida. These 100% composite constructions are able to maintain strength for long periods of time without worries about wood rot or weather damage that can be expected from boats made with organic materials. Additionally, their strong composition are able to withstand large amounts of weight, meaning that there are no concerns about the lids caving or curving as you use the bow and aft decks.
Easily Accessible Rod Lockers
The 675 Ultimate Bay features two rod lockers to the port and starboard sides of the front deck space. These oversized compartments are able to store six rods each, plus additional rod holders located to either side of the center console.
The rod lockers are secured with the same premium quality finished lids mentioned above and stay open with the thanks of lift supports. These lift supports are strong enough to keep the lid secured while still being flexible enough to close without exerting a lot of force.
Ergonomic Seating
When it comes to seating, the 675 Ultimate Bay features some of the most in-demand seats. These custom baja bucket seats have been a fan favorite option among anglers, and it’s clear to see why. The ergonomic design and stylish finishings result in a seat that looks and feels better.
The bucket style of this seat option creates this unique shape where the sides almost hug along your body without feeling too tight against your skin. Additionally, the curved shape provides an armrest-eque shape, making the seat fit you rather than the other way around. Anglers have reported high levels of comfortability in these seats, especially during long journeys.
Efficient Drainage System
The 675 Ultimate Bay features an efficient drainage system. The shape of the boat is designed to push any water that gets into the main body of the boat towards the back, where there is a shallow track to guide the water towards two drains. Once the water enters that drainage system, the drain will guide the water out of the boat and back into the environment, keeping the interior of your boat dry.
Every aspect of the 675 explains why it was given the moniker of “Ultimate”. From the nose of the boat to the outboard motor, everything is designed to help anglers stay competitive from the nearshore conditions of bay fishing to the winding brackish waters of the Gulf Coast’s river mouths. Whether you are navigating grass flats, choppy waves, or tight turns, the 675 Ultimate Bay is designed to get you one step above the competition. When it comes to professional fishing, that one step can be all it takes to get you from second place to first.
