| The Maritime Skiff 23 Defiant has the same proven hull as the Patriot, proven in offshore conditions since its introduction in 2002. It has a 42" wide console, also standard in the 20 Defiant. Featuring a raised gauge pod for flush-mounted electronics, a flat area large enough for charts and binoculars, heavy-duty 3/8" aerodynamic windshield, 1" wrap-around console rail, front seat, and a lockable bi-fold door with stainless lockset. Once through the console door, headroom is a surprising 50", enough to sit on a Porta-Potti. The step-down in the floor measures 30" wide x 7' 8" long. A factory option (only available at time of order) called the "rod tip extension package" increases the length of this space another 2' so rods up to 8' can be stored below decks. |
