Research 2015 - Southport Boat Works - Southport 29 FE

~Southport 29 FE

The Southport 29 FE delivers the luxury of a family cruiser without sacrificing fishability. Suede-textured forward bench seating surrounds an adjustable height lunch/cocktail table designed for alfresco dining. The table is easily lowered between the forward seats-creating a spacious sunpad platform. The console has a comfortable forward facing seat perfect for those who like to watch where they're headed and feel the wind in their hair. The lockable stand-up head enclosure has a flip up entry hatch so you won’t bump your head stepping in and contains a freshwater marine toilet and sink beneath a wide mirror. The cabin sole has six vertical rod storage openings so your favorite rods can be locked away safely at the end of the day. A stainless steel portlight provides natural light and ventilation.

Deluxe helm chairs with flip up bolsters are standard on the Southport 29 FE has a leaning post-tackle station with waist-high access to a fresh/salt-water sink, insulated bait box and a 45 gallon oval livewell with light.

The standard leaning-post tackle station can be replaced with an optional entertainment center complete with grill and refrigerator. In this scenario the livewell is located under the forward seat of the console.

A plush three-quarter aft lounge seat stretches across the stern to provide multi–person seating when cruising/entertaining and folds down when fishing is the priority. Behind the aft lounge seat is a fully equipped bait-rigging station that has a freshwater sink, insulated bait storage area and cutting boards.

A total of (6) flush mount rod holders comes standard and there is capacity under the gunwale for (6) rods to be stored horizontally.

The Southport 29 FE comes standard with a T-Top made with a heavy duty aluminum frame and fiberglass top. A rugged "super clear" acrylic windshield keeps the wind out your face and the wiper and fresh water rinse keep your visibility clear during those summer rain showers.

Additional options for the Southport 29 FE include a quarterberth beneath the console front seat.

Powered with twin 300 hp outboards the 29 FE will deliver good fuel economy, responsive handling and reach a top speed of 50- 55 mph.
