As such, it had a minimum of electronics and controls. This area has evolved into a full helm station, with the real estate to have the same electronics as above if desired. We are still thinking on this for FPB 78-1.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" alt=\"FPB 781 270 110\" src=\"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/FPB-781-270-1102.jpg\" width=\"950\" height=\"534\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There is space for three wide screen 19\u201d monitors, a laptop, and variety of other controls. The wrap around design gives us a bonus in vertical surfaces for electronics, with space left over for miscellaneous nav item storage (binoculars, logbooks, etc).<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" alt=\"FPB 781 270 111\" src=\"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/FPB-781-270-111.jpg\" width=\"1100\" height=\"619\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Placing the con area in the center of the great room area offers a number of advantages.

For FPB 78-1 this will be left open, with a foldup chart table.
