At the end of June, we flipped our third GameBoat, the 62' Tarheel.
Tarheel features the V.2 GameBoat layout - a healthy synergy of our first two GameBoats: the 60' Mama C and the 62' GameChanger. Bayliss Boatworks first demo boat, she will be fished heavily on the east coast tournament circuit and will eventually wind up in Costa Rica.
Exterior features include a variety of faux teak components, including a faux teak toe rail, transom and drip molding. She will have a sleek profile, hard top, and white windshield. Tarheel's flybridge will have the classic center console arrangement; the salon will be oriented around a center door, as well. In the galley, two peninsula cabinets will be used for refrigeration and storage.
The lower level will be comprised of a simple three stateroom/two-head layout, along with an easily accessible dayhead and tackle room, each situated just off the main companionway.
Systems will include two 20 kw Northern Lights generators, an FCI 1,800 gallon per day watermaker, and a Dometic Chilled Water A/C system (now standard on all Bayliss builds).
