The Compass Rose is a Model 37 and almost 39 feet in length. She is an unusually wide beam boat for stability and more fishing room than other boats her size. She is powered with Giant twin V8 Yamaha 350 hp four stroke motors, giving her 700hp to run and get the job done. Not only is she fast but she rides like a dream. I have owned yellowfins, invincibles and many other center consoles and this boat blows them out of the water. The dry, smooth ride is just amazing. If you haven't heard of SeaHunter you will soon. The 10 foot plus beam on this boat adds a tremendous amount of room to the overall size of the boat and just makes fishing on this stable platform a blast. She can go in comfort when others simply sit at the dock.
If you notice the full tower with controls on this boat, it gives you a glimpse into this hard core fishing machine. She has full array of electronics from Raymarine twin e120 touch screens on the lower station and an E90wide on the tower to find the fish. Loaded with radar, 3 Vhf's, auto pilot and stereo she is equipped just the way I like it and need it to be, tournament ready at the drop of a hat. The oversized T-Top with the black underside offers a tremendous amount of shade and eliminates all glare off the water. The tower offers me a huge advantage of better sight lines for sight fishing and finding debris. If you have spent time on the water you know there is no substitute for height for seeing tailing fish. The other option on this boat is the 3 live wells carrying well over 250 gallons of live bait, more than any other light tackle boat in Key West. Down below decks she has a full head (toilet) for comfort and privacy. She is designed by fisherman for fisherman to be an ultimate fishing machine.
