No overflowing here.
For the fisherman, The Rodfather is perfectly equipped to give you a great day, every day. The transome has a centre opening door to the duckboard which is very handy when returning the the boat from either the tender of from swimming, or even for ease of landing a difficult catch.

"The Rodfather" is not only perfect for a day out on the water or the reef with your family and friends but is completely set up for liveaboard with many extras and spares available (some listed above). The tinted windows also ensure additional comfort and privacy both in the berth and out on the reef. Apart from a spacious saloon area, the galley is also very spacious and user friendly, be it for a full meal when entertaining family and friends at your berth, or for the quick snacks when in the middle of that all important fishing trip. There is a full-sized Westinghouse oven, as well as s/s sink with drainage board, convection microwave and fridge. All are usable at sea due to the gen set. In addition, you also have plenty of room to move around the deck and flybridge with ease and the Bulwark capping means more space and seating out on the deck. Plenty of room for everyone.
This vessel comes with all current maintenance and services completed, including a full service of motors and genset earlier this year; new tender and lift hoist; new clears; new marine carpet; new safety equipment, including life jackets, flares and fire extinguishers (purchased Oct 2020)
As you can see in the photos, The Rodfather is in fantastic condition and won't disappoint.
