Outstanding Visability

You won’t find another pilothouse boat with better visability than the 23 Challenger. Strategically positioned large commercial grade windows provide unobstructed views from the helm whether you are sitting or standing, and with Maritime’s minimal bow rise you can effortlessly scan the horizen at all speeds. Headroom in the cabin is 6’4″ and with the adjustable sliding helm seat, the captain can comfortably stand or sit behind the wheel. Abundant ventilation for the pilothouse is available from the roof top hatch, front venting windows and the sliding side windows. The aerodynamic lines of the pilothouse help reduce wind resistance when trailing, cross wind list when underway and topside weight resulting in increased stability when underway and at rest. The high stainless bow rail provides additional security when tending lines or retrieving the anchor from the large bow locker.

At the Helm

Inside the pilothouse there’s a large 10″ x 21″ instrument pod for flush mounting electronics, a 16″ x 36″ chart table with fiddle and grab rail, and a convenient overhead radio box. All dash surfaces and the radio box have a dark non-glare surface to reduce reflections onto the windshield. Two-speed, heavy-duty wipers with pantograph arms feature long blades, providing a clean horizontal sweep of the windshield.

Seating & Storage

Standard seating consists of extra-wide custom fiberglass 21″ wide seats mounted on elevated lockable storage boxes. The seats slide fore “n” aft 6″, have 3″ thick quality pleated removable cushions, convenient 14″ grab rails and offer excellent “look-down” visibility. You’ll find additional storage flanking the seats in the form of under-gunwale shelves, very useful for lines, day gear, etc.
