I own one.


Ansley,
I was looking at pictures of those boats and was curious - what's with
the wheel offset to port? In a center cockpit boat I would think a
centerline wheel would make more sense, no? Do you find this arrangement
workable/comfortable/ease of manuvering in port, etc ?

Allows for a wider hallway to the aft cabin.
