What's the headroom in the aft cabin between the bunk surface
and the
ceiling?

I don't know exactly, but with my wife on top there's enough
room for
spirited fun. I'd say it's perfect. There's also standing room
just as
you step inside.


Be careful you don't rub your head too much, it could cause a
bald spot.

Oops, too late!

Boobie you just fell for Beneteau's marketing game. They build an
average quality boat with flashy styling gimmicks like those "slip and
fall" windows on yours. Ever seen an old Beneteau with all the
outdated graphics etc? They look truly comical. But Beneteau
continues to pitch themselves as a step up boat since they are from
"Europe" and have to charge more. Knowledgable people continue to
laugh.

Mostly right on... however remember that Beneteau builds a
wide range of boats, from the charter pigs to the Figaro and
few custom racers. They build "fast trawlers" too. Most of
their stuff is CataHuntalina with a French accent. I happen
to like some of the First series racer-cruisers but they're
not boats that inspire a lot of bragging or comparisons with
Little Harbors, Oysters, or Baltics.

Boobsie's claims are just so much hogwash and trolling.

Hey are you serious about getting either a Flying Tiger or
an Annapolis 30?

Once again, Sloco exposes himself!
Beneteau is presently one of the lowest cost boats on the market as
they were when the 35s5 was built. But the 35s5 was not priced like the
cruising models. Like Doug, you're guessing because you have no idea
how well built the 35s5 is. BTW, Beneteau also has a high end line of
boats called the Flagship series. They are also built to a higher
standard than your boat.

Well...there you have it. Doug likes the First series Beneteaus, but
doesn't think they compare with boats costing 5 times the price.
Live and learn!

Of course you can compare them. But if you look at the
construction details (with your eyes actually open) and tiny
smidgin of knowledge, you rapidly see why they cost more.

5X more? I know people who have paid $300K plus for thier
boats, but not for 35-footers. And they're not the kind of
person who brags about being rich on the internet.
