How should I know? But they are all roomy enough boats to
have comparable accomodation. And many do have have aft
cabins, for that matter there are some center cockpit boats
on the list!

swim platform

Most do, or have an open transom.

PHRF less than 140

All

cruising accomodations

All

If you keep the speedsters with no accomodation on the list,
for example the 1D35 which is a rocket, the list would be
over 200.

Careful, Crantz. If you corner Doug, he'll quickly shift to personal
attacks and
other distractions. That's his well established M.O.

I get along just fine with Doug. I was not out to corner him. I was just
being sarcastic.

Amen!

Doug,

Then you have to weed out the boat whose manufacturer's name doesn't start
with "B"

Then the ones who don't end in "u"

Then the ones that don't have two "e"'s in their name.

And so on....

Amen!

Yes, they all do, except that a number of them may or may
not have aft cabins (but even so would have comparable
accomodation).

When you rant about the after cabin, are you talking about those ones
you can't stand up in and have the wierd shaped deckhead because of the
cockpit or a real cabin?

The ones I am familiar with call it an after cabin but they are really
just bunked in lazzarettes with a door. Kind of built for the charter
market with 6 folks on a 35 footer.

Sorry, didn't realize I was ranting.

The so-called "aft cabin" in aft-cockpit boats vary a lot.
Some are at least as good as the V-berth cabin.

Yep, that's a good descriptor for many: bunked-in lazarette.
They're not all like that though, some have at least a small
area of standing headroom and real stowage lockers.

Some of the better designed ones have the batteries, shaft &
pcking gland, or even the engine, set up for great access
and you can sit on the edge of the bunk while you work on
them. Now that's what I call thinking ahead!

But it's true that every inch of cubic put in the "aft
cabin" has to be taken out of the lazarette stowage. TANSTAAFL.

No, Doub. An aft cabin is quite different. It generally has a door for
one. It also usually has a larger bunk than a boat with a simple open
quarterberth.
Most of the boats you listed have no swim platform, too much draft and
so on. Why not just list 10 boats that are comparable. You can't even
do that.

Prove it. Post 10 boats with aft cabins and swim platforms that fit the
criteria I posted. So far you've posted boats that you call
"comparable." That's just not the case. An aft cabin is an aft cabin.
Telling us we can build a swim platform doesn't cut it either, Doug.
You struck out.
