When you have a full squad—whether that’s a serious tournament team hunting trophy pike or a bachelor party looking for a legendary weekend—you need a vessel that can handle the crew and the gear. Enter the Bass and the Walleye.

These are the "Big Dogs" of the Sportsman class. They take the rugged, go-anywhere spirit of the smaller boats and super-size it, offering the ultimate balance of fishability and social space.

The Highlights
The Exterior (360-Degree Dominance): The defining feature of the Bass and Walleye is the Full Wrap-Around Deck. Unlike standard houseboats, you have wide walkways running down both the port and starboard sides.

For the Angler: This is a 40-foot casting platform. You can drift a shoreline and have guys fishing off the bow, stern, and both sides simultaneously without tangling lines. If a monster smallmouth makes a run around the boat, you can follow him all the way around.

For the Crew: It means easy movement. Loading coolers, passing gear, and docking the boat is seamless because you have access to every cleat and corner.

The Main Cabin (Command Central): Step through the forward sliding door and you’ll feel the difference in width and volume. This is your social hub.

Starboard Side (The Galley & Dinette): You have a large booth Dinette that serves as the strategy table for morning map study and the poker table for late-night laughs. Behind it is a robust Galley with extended counter space, a stove/oven, and a large refrigerator. It’s built to feed a hungry crowd, whether you’re grilling ribeyes or frying up a shore lunch.

Port Side (The Lounge): Opposite the dining area is a spacious Day Bed. It’s the prime spot for a mid-day nap after the morning bite, and at night, it converts to sleeping quarters.

The "Barracks" (Sleeping Quarters): Moving aft, we see why these boats are favorites for groups. The sleeping configuration is designed to stack the crew efficiently so everyone gets a mattress.

Starboard Bunks: A set of Over/Under Double Bunks. These are heavy-duty, spacious beds capable of sleeping two adults each (or one guy who likes his space).

Port Bunks: A set of Over/Under Single Bunks. Perfect for the single guys or the "scouts" of the trip.

Note: Combined with the convertible dinette and day bed, this layout swallows up gear bags and sleeping bags with ease.

The Head & Storage: Positioned mid-ship on the port side is the bathroom with a hot shower. Just after that is a dedicated Storage Closet. This is a crucial feature for the 40-footer—a place to stash rain gear, rod cases, and extra provisions so the main cabin stays clear for the party.

The Aft Deck & "Penthouse": The back deck is your staging ground for the water. But the real draw is the spiral staircase leading to the roof.

The Upper Deck: On the 40-foot models, this space is massive. It’s a huge, flat dance floor in the sky. Use it to scout for weed lines, lay out in the sun, or set up lawn chairs for "sundowner" drinks while you recount the one that got away.

The Slide: The signature water slide off the back completes the package. Because no matter how old the group is, the first guy to slide into the lake officially starts the vacation.
