Interior Layout
46 interior The most unique factor that sets this build apart from the typical Carolina boat is that Mr. Burton opted for an interior helm station. This means no wrap-around mask, but actual forward-facing windows laid into the rounded cabin design. In Jeff’s words, “We’re taking a lot of what you see in a down-east boat that cruises – and apply it to a boat that’s also ready to go hard-core fishing – and in a size that’s something I can manage myself.”

Another exciting interior aspect is the extra space savings under the salon provided by the pod drives fitting under the cockpit. In this case, the Burtons chose a second stateroom for their children, but this volume could also be used as crew quarters or extra storage in an alternate layout – all features you probably wouldn’t be able to squeeze into a boat this size rigged with traditional propulsion.
Cockpit
46 cockpit The cockpit design offers an elevated mezzanine with sofa perched above a centered engine room entrance, with tackle storage to starboard. Jeff chose a gimbaled Release Marine rocket launcher that will allow for considerable space savings and maximum versatility in the pit. Full teak covering boards and Sea Vision under water lights put the finishing touches on the business end.
Bridge
46 bridgeThe half tower features a super light-weight, yet highly durable, resin-infused molded hard-top that is a key component in providing exceptional fuel efficiency and performance. Additional efficiency is found with the installation of low-voltage (24v) LED spreader lights. Bausch American Towers also designed and installed recessed teaser reels and molded running lights. Rounding out this stylish package are overhead LED tri-color dome lights to showcase her custom bridge rail and rod holders.
Extras
46 extras The navigation electronics are based on Furuno’s NavNet technology, utilizing black box processors to feed the 15″ KEP glass bridge displays. This keeps the lines clean and provides Jeff with enough room to monitor radar, sounder, plotter, cameras, Sirius Satellite Weather and even his satellite TV system, at both the bridge and interior helm stations. Icom VHF radios coupled with Comrod antennas have been used as the perfect combination for trouble free communications. To round out the navigation package, a Flir Thermal Camera and ACR Searchlight aids navigation in the early morning hours on the way to the fishing grounds.
