On either side of the console are walkable open passways making the entire perimeter of the boat fully accessible for either casting or handling lines. In front of the console, below deck, is a small cabin, that may contain 1-2 sleeping quarters and a small head, and possibly a compact galley. Above the cabin in the bow is typically either a casting area, storage container, or lounge seats. These vessels typically range is size from 18 - 35 feet.

What type of engines power Walkarounds?
