Hello, we have a 25' cruiser and use it in the same manner as what you are looking for. We cruise and fish in the Puget Sound, San Juans, and Gulf Islands. First, we love our boat. However, if we would have had the ability to have this boat built at the factory we would have had the railing...
We have Deckadence in the cockpit of our 25 we have enjoyed it. It’s light, Easy to remove, and easy on bare feet. On our previous boat we had Dri deck which was ok just harder on the feet and more difficult to remove to clean under it.
I have been happy with my I-Troll system. They just came out with the g3 wireless system and you can pair it with a Tail fin steering system. Every time I have called them with a question they have either picked up the phone or called me back within a couple hours.
I would call Daniel Baroni 253 313 3803. I have had him do both of my Bimini and was pleased with the quality and price. He works out of his house in Gig Harbor.
