Have a look at the nav station on the 35s5...

http://members.aol.com/bobsprit/images/int01.jpg

That table slides out and is bigger than any other boat I've seen under
40 feet, big enough for a real chart and perfect for big chart books.
It hinges up for storage below. There is a huge hinged door below for
nav gear and chart stowage behind. All electronics and electrical
controls are localized and are also fitted beneath. The station is also
in easy earshot of the cockpit of course.

Table extended to max size...

Aren't you at all concerned about the instruments being just above the stove
top? Seems like bad placement for a number of reasons, the most important of
which is that you might cook the wrong stuff.

???? I think you're confused. There are no instruments near the stove.
The whole galley is on the port side. The Nav is to starboard.

Ok... then what is underneath the chart board?

Wow, it has a folding top just like Express yachts had way back in 84.

Yes, but the Depress 30 and 35 also have interiors that look like 70's
vans. And the 35s5 chart table is still larger than either.
You lose AGAIN!

Looks like wasted space too me. A Garmin with map display in the cockpit is
more than adequate for motoring in the LIS. Add a backup GPS driving a laptop
down below for backup on more distant excursions. Get a plastic chart of LIS and
use it for a table cloth in the galley - handier for determining a course than
zooming around on the laptop and you can impress folks by keeping position on it
in grease pencil. Of course if you're into nostalgia .......

A Texaco road map would be adequate for what Bubbles does.

Actually, the City Island diner has Map of the Long Island Sound
place-mats. I stole one and it's even laminated. It says "Not to be
used for navigational purposes" at the bottom, but it works fine.

Not quite, Bob. Happy New Year.
