Measurements

[Saltyone]

I've been looking at the 265 express, but in my searches I haven't been able to find the measurements of the dance floor. Does anyone have those by chance?

Thanks,

Sal

Check out old brochures here, should have all that info.

Unfortunately it doesn't have the measurements of that area.

Hoping someone with a 265 can post those.

Thanks,

Ryan

It's big! If I get a moment I'll measure the dance floor for you.

Kind of on the same topic. Looking to see if anyone that owns a 265 that runs for albacore uses a 1/2 tote on the deck or just use a large kill bag?

How many tuna can you fit in the insulated fish box?

Thanks,

Ryan

The fish box is huge. The fishbox and livewell are taller than a 5 gallon bucket. I should've taken measurements and pix of that too.
They both drain overboard.

Haven't had the opportunity yet to load it with tuna but did have a 40# and 20# bluefin in there and they were lost in 200#s of ice.
I have had 36 dolphin and 45 seabass, ice, a bucket of chum and a flat of sardines in there with room to spare.

As for deck space, we have been bringing a 165 qt Igloo for bait and a 70 qt for beer & food and they really piss me off.
I really think we could use the livewell for bait/ice and a smaller soft cooler inside the cabin for drinks/food.
Next overnight trip I'm trying that and leaving that beautiful deck clear for fishing.
