Cuddy-cabin boats like the Bayliner 602 Cuddy are too often overlooked in today's bowrider-dominated world, but they have lots of advantages for boaters who don't need maximum seating capacity. The cuddy cabin makes a secure, dry stowage compartment for piles of gear: Swimming toys, fishing gear, coolers, changes of clothing and so forth can all live there rather than underfoot in the cockpit. The center section of the Bayliner 602 windshield opens for foredeck access; molded steps adjacent to the companionway make climbing onto the deck easier. For sun lovers, the integrated sundeck is on engine compartment and an ample storage is found below the seat cushions and in the large compartment in the sole.
