The Sense series is all about marketing and giving the new owner what he's told he wants when he reads the magazines.

As a cruiser/liveaboard the boat makes no sense and it's poor construction is frightening. We have a friend with a Sense 50 (sorry friend) I don't understand why you purchased it. Perhaps it was the 'joy stick docking'. To me it's a despossible boat make by Ikea. if you walk below the floorboards are all plywood squares that creak, groan and flex when you walk on them. There are no latches or pulls to get them up. Instead they give you a 'suction cup'. If I was on watch by myself at 3am I'd be afraid I'd fall out the back.

You're right, don't try to figure it out.
