What are the pro's and con's of a tower on a sportfish charter fishing vessel ?
How often and in what type of sea conditions is it viable to use.
How often can the Captain operate the vessel from up there.
What about communications with the fishermen in the cockpit?
How much speed would be lost due to the tower?
Would the vessel burn more fuel, with a tower than no tower?

It will exaggerate the roll of the boat and negatively affect performance. We are in Florida/Bahamas and fish for just about everything. There are some nitch fishing applications where they are useful but IMO are a negative.

Good for Cobia fishing in NW Fl in calm weather.
