Here's the result of my workday on Friday. :-)


Like all Crownline boats, the 315 SCR is impressively styled and carefully
assembled.

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

You must have forgot to bring you glasses with you when tested the boat
Chuck. The forward leaning radar arch is ugly. The cockpit looks like a
giant marshmellow and the cockpit layout is poorly designed.

Eye of the beholder.

I like the radar arch, and don't agree with the marshmallow comparison.
It might be that the upholstery makes a different impression in person
than it does on a website photo, who knows? (Or, maybe if you actually
went aboard one of these models you would still think it looked like a
marshmallow- and you'd have every right to your opinion).

As far as the cockpit layout goes, I'd like to have you elaboarate on
"poorly designed."
I noticed two transom doors, one on either side of the sunpad. The main
transom door that most people would use is to port, and from there it's
a relatively straight shot all the way to the companionway door. One
half step to clear the wetbar on the port side and get inboard of the
lounge seat. The aft starboard quarter of the cockpit becomes a social
area, with table, blocking that transom door when the table is in place
and the removable seat is installed. How would you change or improve
the cockpit design?

Good discussion. :-)
