The 35 Defiant may be equipped with an open bow or forward cuddy cabin. In either configuration, the vessel features a wide-open cockpit workspace with non-skid floors and ideally placed handrails. Wide gunnels provide sure footing, and the foredeck is easily accessed. A full-height transom provides security, and oversized scuppers assure a fully self-bailing cockpit. A rugged, urethane-sheathed, closed-cell foam collar provides ample impact protection, while port and starboard dive recesses facilitate access to and from the water.

In foul weather and heavy seas, the entire crew remains comfortable and secure within the 35 Defiant’s roomy pilothouse with available climate control. Self-parking windshield wipers and window defrosters maintain visibility during inclement weather. All controls are placed within easy reach of the operator, and spacious port and starboard helm areas easily accommodate a wide array of custom-installed electronics.
