Merits of a pilot house on a 37' Bruce Roberts?
 

I was aboard a 35 strip planked center cockpit. It seemed an
uneconomical use of space. But now a BR 37 with pilot house is on offer
( a couple of hundred miles away). It has a 12'4" beam and an
attractive price. ( also she has a regular transom
ie more or less vertical )
Any comment on the merits of a center pilot house on a vessel of these
deminsions?
