2005 Dakota 36 CC Forward Cuddy Cabin

The 2005 Dakota 36 is a center console built for offshore work, combining a deep-V hull with a forward cuddy cabin suited to overnight trips and gear storage. At 36 feet with a 9.5-foot beam, the boat carries triple Evinrude 250 HP outboards totaling 750 horsepower. The engines have accumulated just 945 hours and have recently been serviced, with all batteries replaced.

The layout centers on a wide cockpit with fishing and cruising equipment throughout. A leaning post with rocket launchers and footrest faces the helm, while an aft bench seat sits over a livewell with removable backrest. Four tackle trays—two forward and two aft—provide storage. A radar arch carries a Bimini top and rod holders; an Armstrong dive ladder and windlass anchor system round out deck gear. Outriggers extend fishing capability.

Below, the forward cuddy cabin offers sleeping quarters, and a head compartment sits in the console. A starboard-side washdown system handles both saltwater and freshwater rinsing. Hydraulic steering manages the helm, and a stereo with amplifier provides entertainment. The hull sides are blue, finished in fiberglass.

Electronics require updating, though the remainder of the boat is equipped and functional for fishing and cruising.
