Is the Coronado a flat top? Does the "center cockpit" have a foot
well protruding into the cabin area? What's it like with a long
uninterupted run of below decks space? Is that what a coronado has?
Must be something wrong with it though or everyone would do it eh?
Can't make that little cockpit comfy?

Please help enlighten me, I'm finding this perplexing, I think I may
want a Coronado, hmm 43', 45'. maybe 35'?

Having spent 2-1/2 years living aboard and cruising a Coronado 35...
Guess it is a flat top - lots and lots of deck space. The center
cockpit is nice and roomy, even for 6 folks. The foot well, which is
really more of a foot "room", does not portrude into the cabin. It's
totally in the engine room. Not a long uninterupted run of below decks
space. The roomy galley is starboard of the engine room, the roomy
head, with shower for two, is port of the engine room. Both lead
through doorways to the aft stateroom, with a king size berth. Salon
is forward of the engine room/galley/head. Forward though another
doorway and you're in the forward stateroom, with queen size
vee-berth.

All in all, the 35 has more cabin room than the average 45-footer.
Folks who visited were always amazed. Head room is MINIMUM 6' 2". Max
is about 6' 7"
