You get what you pay for Bob... and to date your mediocre selections have
adequately reflected your budget.
The only thing magical is the illusion you are attempting... to convince
yourself you would be upgrading your current of the rack clone to anything
more than a station wagon from your current sedan. How you modify this
uninspiring and common place upgrade to resemble a stepping stone will be
dependent on how hungry the fish are to bite.

Don't worry Bob... I might be there to take up the slack for you once again
if the fishing proves futile... [cue the theme to Jaws...]

CM,

Do you think Nutsy will be able to find his "MAGIC" C&C with the bolt on
"Step Ladder Stern" already in place? Maybe he can find one with a
cardboard Owl mounted on the top rung. Wouldn't that be nice?

I believe a Bob will buy a rather standard and unassuming, yet sound vessel.
It will once again blend into the background of other sailboats at his
marina.... so much so as to make it indistinguishable even by verbal
description from the lounge over-looking the docks.

I suggest that since Bob enjoys attention almost as well as planning
regarding a boat purchase... we could offer some creative suggestions as to
how he might make his new boat uniquely identifiable. My initial
recommendation would be to chrome plate the decks and copper plate the hull.
Metallica or Heavy Metal would be an appropriate name.

What weight of water can your cockpit hold when full?

Approximate dimensions are 7 feet long by 5 ft wide with a foot and a half
wide cockpit seats running full length. Depth from cockpit seats to sole is
about 24 inches and add another 8 inches to the coamings. Add in a shelf at
the companionway that is 10 inches wide, spans the seats and forms the fore
end of the cockpit footwell.

It drains dry in 68 seconds. Double 2" hoses and a 6" head to the W/L. A
full cockpit of water displaces the stern to 2 inches above the W/L...

Can you figure out the volume?

Not enough information to caculate volume. One would
need to know the foot well dimensions so they could
be added to the coaming/cockpit dimensions to the top
of the footwell which are 52 cubic feet. Your cockpit is much
bigger than I thought and I'd be very surprised if two two-inch
drains could empty the lot in 68 seconds. It would take more
like four minutes.
