The seats below and in the cockpit of the Older B50's are no bargain either. ;^)

Seriously, the seatee seats in B50 aren't designed for people with less than NBA length legs from the knee down; and the cockpit backs are very boxy.

Regardless, the cockpits of old look a better than that cockpit looks to me.

Wally gets away with that sort of thing as part of "package". But when you try to put that into a 50' boat, something has to be sacrificed.

In the old days, the B40 (or whatever) sacrificed interior volume for elegant lines. I think, that if you're going to pay $4 Million for a boat, they could have made it 10' longer and got it right. Swan's don't build a boat shorter than 54' any more.
