thanks for the reply dan. nice boat by the way. advice noted and
appreciated. another question: how much larger is a 37' boat than a 32'
boat? as a complete fng, 5 feet doesnt seem that much longer. how much more
living space is gained by the additional footage?

==========================================

As a general rule the size of a boat increases in proportion to the
cube of its length. In other words a 48 foot boat is about 8 times
larger than a 24 foot boat. That may seem extreme but try looking at
both a 24 and a 48 and you'll see for yourself. The rationale is that
not only does the length increase but also the depth and width. Since
a 37 foot boat is 1.15 times as long as a 32, and 1.15 cubed is 1.52,
you can infer that the 37 will have about 50% more usable space.
