You show a link to a Catalina factory photo where a 18mm wide angle
lense was used and compare that to some owner's closeup of a sailbag on the
floor of his Merit.

I've seen both interiors. In person. Never saw the olson. If you're claiming
that the Merit and the 250 have the same (or even close to) the same interior
volume, you're a troll and liar.
In anycase, let the fellow look for himself. He won't find the accomodation
(above or below) remotely close.
Stern seats can be a nice item at times, Loco. If you ever gave women on board
you'll learn that too.
You'll note that I don't have to bash a boat to make a point. I can see that
the 250 has it's own specific advantages and market, So do the nimble Olson and
Merit. You can't simply because you're stupid and angry.
I know...the truth hurts. It's all personal for you and you always come up the
loser.
Watch for the report on my test sail of the wonderful 34XL, which we had today.
Sad times for you, Loco!

Bwahahahahaha!
