wouldn't give to two cents for the deck layout. You have to leave the cockpit and scramble forward to a near vertical ladder after going through and under a midget dodger. They say it's a great boat and it does have a nice interior but just shoot me in the head. Give me a door to walk through and I'll take my chances with the ocean. I've only been pooped twice and had the cockpit filled up. Granted, it wasn't fun and potentially dangerous but I'm still here. Oh yeah, one of the two times was at anchor in La Cruz, Mexico and I took on a complete cockpit full of water from a boat wake. I didn't get enough water down below to wet the throw rugs, either time. I did, however, have a fire start as the result of the first one. Very exciting indeed. 400 miles from nowhere, really shitty weather and a fire. Good times!
