The 60 Convertible’s cockpit benefits from the boat’s wide 19-foot beam and raised mezzanine level that offers cushioned seating for improved visibility aft, as well as modular drop-in units that allow owners to customize the location of freezers, storage tubs and optional baitwells.

A freezer is positioned outboard on the standard arrangement of the upper mezzanine deck, with engine room access on centerline. Just behind the bridge ladder to starboard are two stainless-lined tackle drawers hidden behind a drop-down door. On the lower mezzanine level, two large storage tubs are positioned to port, with a third tub to starboard. Within the radius steps you’ll find a large refrigerated drink box and wet storage compartments for mop heads and chamois. Two massive fish boxes are located longitudinally in the cockpit sole.

Corner hawsers, side cockpit scuppers that drain through the quarter-fenders, and curved doors that hide the twin 50-amp inlets and quick disconnects for fresh and saltwater wash-downs assure the cockpit is finished to the highest level. The engine room features a similar attention to detail, thanks to its clean layout and faired surface for a wipe-and-go finish.

On the bridge, a large console features a pod-style helm with an actuated console to keep electronics safe from the elements when not in use. Just forward of the console is an insulated drink cooler as well as an optional freezer. Ample rod storage is available beneath the forward and starboard lounge seats. Teak helm chairs are standard, as is an electronics suite including Northstar 6000i GPS/plotter, Icom VHF, Simrad AP26 autopilot, and Simrad IS15 depth and speed indicator.

An enclosed bridge along with an optional interior stairwell will be available on later hulls. The enclosed bridge will be equipped with a centered helm chair and two riding seats to port and starboard for guests. Aft, a raised sectional will provide visibility and rod storage.
