From the November 2017 issue of Marlin Magazine:
The cockpit is ground zero, where the anglers and crew share fame, fortune and those heart-stopping adrenaline rushes when the fish of a lifetime decides to eat. However, the basic layout of the cockpit and its features are essential to success, starting from the sole up. Teak decking provides sure-footedness and reduced glare, but a grippy molded fiberglass or painted sole is fine too.
