exterior

We had active boaters in mind when designing the MD Buzzards Bay . Those who like to fish, scuba dive, kayak, or just lounge on the hook, will find the Buzzards Bay extremely versatile.

cockpit

With its large open cockpit (7 feet long by 11 feet wide) she has the room to be customized for any number of activities. Good gunwale height gives extra security and support above the knee for working fish or handling lines. A proper toe kick all around the cockpit allows the person to step right up to the gunwale, easing lower back pressure.

Cockpit stowage is more than adequate via the two large hatches in the back of lounge seat. Outboard models have the advantage of the hull space below becoming two huge lazzarettes. No motorcycles in here please!

swim platform

The swim platform measures 2' deep and 11' wide. It is accessed from the cockpit via two transom doors. Flooding of the cockpit thru the transom doors, a risk on many vessels, is minimized by the Buzzards Bay's high freeboard, providing a cockpit height approximately 22" above the waterline, which is 4 times the height of typical vessels.

side decks and bow

Going forward to secure the anchor or simply to enjoy the Buzzards Bay's vast fore-deck is made safer by wide side decks, stout safety railing, and additional handrails mounted to the pilot house overhead.
