bait board, knife slots, a couple of drawers and extra rod holders. It extends

aft over the outboard well rather than into the cockpit, so access to the

transom is excellent. he live well is under the step-through on the port

side, tuna tubes are built into the transom wall and outriggers are roof-

mounted so as not to restrict walkaround access to the foredeck.

As you’d expect in a ishing boat there is ample rod storage. hrough-

gunwale rodholders are conigured for trolling and there’s plenty of places

for long items like gafs, including two-tier cockpit shelves and brackets

under the hardtop ceiling and inside the cabin. he drop-down pipe berth is

a good place to stow spare ishing outits as well, while an underloor locker

between the front seats easily swallows a couple of dive bottles, plus gear.

he beauty of a walkaround design is that it opens up the foredeck

for ishing. On the 795, the side decks become wider towards the bow,

providing enough lat deck area for comfortable casting. Bow rails provide

security while SeaDek on the foredeck ofers comfortable seating. A couple

of lush rod holders are useful to store casting gear.

LOTS OF EQUIPMENT

his boat is extremely well-equipped, including a 36V Minn Kota Riptide

iPilot electric motor on the bow. hree separate deep-cycle batteries for the

Minn Kota, isolation switches and a plug-in shore power charging system

are housed under one of the bunks in the cabin.

he Extreme factory mounts electric trolling motors right on the bow of

its vessels, as close to the centerline as possible, for optimum performance.

his one is right beside the 795’s dual fairlead, one for carrying a Rocna

anchor leaving the other available to deploy a grapnel anchor. A Maxwell

RC8 capstan takes care of anchor duties.

his boat has an extensive Hella Marine lighting package, including
