Fishing Features

Fishing is where the SeaHunter 41 CTS truly shines. Designed for anglers who expect the best, this boat delivers in every aspect, from storage to functionality. Starting with its livewell capacity, the twin 55-gallon transom livewells provide ample space to keep bait fresh and active during those long fishing trips. These pressurized livewells are designed for offshore fishing, ensuring that your bait remains in optimal condition no matter how long you’re out there.

One of the main draws for anglers on the 41 CTS is its large, unobstructed deck. The open deck layout allows for maximum mobility, ensuring you have space to move around easily while fighting fish or preparing gear. Unlike other boats, the SeaHunter 41 CTS minimizes obstacles that could get in the way during crucial moments. 

When it comes to rod storage, the 41 CTS is incredibly versatile. Instead of a set number of rod holder, they give you the option to customize the number and placement of rod holders to fit your specific needs. Whether you prefer more rod holders in the gunnels, on the transom, or on the T-top, the SeaHunter 41 CTS gives you the all the options you need to keep your equipment organized and easily accessible. Additional under-gunnel rod racks offer more room for storing extra rods without cluttering the deck.

To store your catch, the boat features spacious insulated fish boxes located on both the port and starboard sides, as well as forward. These fish boxes are designed to keep your catch fresh for hours, thanks to their insulation and pump-out systems. Combined with the 700-gallon fuel capacity, which enables long trips offshore, these fish boxes make the SeaHunter 41 CTS the perfect vessel for extended fishing adventures.

The 41 CTS also comes equipped with both fresh and saltwater washdown systems. This dual system ensures you can quickly clean up the deck and equipment whether its sand from the sandbar or blood from a tuna you just caught. In addition, the boat also comes standard with trim tabs to help stabilize the boat when you’re navigating through various conditions, ensuring a smoother ride.

For even greater fishing efficiency, carbon fiber outriggers and rocket launchers can be added to the boat, giving you the ability to troll with multiple lines at once. These features turn the 41 CTS into an even more formidable fishing vessel, ready to handle anything from big game offshore fishing to more casual nearshore adventures

Family Features

Though the SeaHunter 41 CTS is primarily built for anglers, it also caters to families, making it a versatile choice for those who want to enjoy both fishing and family leisure time. The forward console lounger, for example, provides ample seating for passengers who want to relax while the anglers onboard are hard at work. This lounger also offers dry storage underneath, ensuring that you have space to stow away personal items and gear.

The dual-row helm seating provides more than enough room for family and friends to ride comfortably. These seats are ergonomically designed for long trips, offering the right balance of comfort and support. The rear-facing leaning post bench is another thoughtful addition, offering seating that can be used for both leisure and practical purposes. It’s ideal for passengers who prefer to sit and watch the fishing action unfold or just relax in a shaded part of the boat.

For families who enjoy swimming and water sports, the retractable boarding ladder makes accessing the water simple and safe. Combined with the large deck space and comfortable seating, the SeaHunter 41 CTS allows everyone onboard to enjoy the water in whichever way they choose.

An optional feature that adds convenience for family outings is the in console head. This head includes a toilet system that makes the boat well-suited for longer trips, ensuring that passengers have a place to go when mother nature calls. The head also provides additional storage space, making it a practical addition for families looking to stow away more personal items on board.

Additional Standard Features

The SeaHunter 41 CTS comes loaded with standard features designed to make your time on the water as comfortable and functional as possible. The center transom door allows easy access to the rear of the boat, particularly useful when landing larger fish or accessing the swim platform.

Electronic power steering enhances the boat’s maneuverability, especially in tight spaces or when docking. The lighting system includes fluorescent, spreader, and map lights, ensuring every part of the boat is illuminated, whether you’re fishing late into the night or navigating back to the dock after a long day.

The boat also includes high-quality pull-up stainless steel cleats that make tying off a breeze. These cleats are flush when not in use, minimizing obstacles on the gunnel and maintaining a sleek profile.

The hardtop is another standard feature, providing ample protection from the sun and weather. It is solidly built and designed to accommodate extra rod holders and other fishing accessories. Whether you’re cruising or fishing, the hardtop is essential for those hot days on the water.

Optional Features

For those looking to enhance their SeaHunter 41 CTS, a variety of optional features are available. One of the most popular upgrades is the XL hardtop, which offers more protection and additional storage options. The Windlass anchor system is another useful upgrade, simplifying anchoring in deep waters and adding a level of convenience for those who regularly fish offshore.

Adding LED lightbars and underwater lights transforms the boat into a vessel that is just as functional at night as it is during the day. These features not only enhance visibility but also add a touch of style when cruising at night.

For those seeking ultimate control, the Optimus 360 joystick steering system is a game-changer. This system allows for intuitive handling, particularly useful when maneuvering in tight spaces or docking. It provides 360-degree control, ensuring that even the largest boats can be docked with ease.

Additional options like the Seakeeper gyroscopic stabilizer provide unparalleled stability in rough seas, minimizing roll and ensuring a smooth ride. If comfort and aesthetics are a priority, other options like the two-toned hull color, custom engine paint, and removable rear bench seat allow you to personalize the boat to your specific tastes.

Conclusion

Its catamaran hull design offers unparalleled stability and performance, while its long list of fishing features, from customizable rod holders to massive livewells and fish boxes, make it a perfect choice for serious anglers.
