I have heard of air conditioning. And I'm familiar with how much power it
takes. A lot. Either you have a lot of batteries and don't run the ac for long or you have a generator. Neither is very practical in a smaller boat. " *JimH*" wrote in message . ..

Folks don't spend much time in the small cabins in smaller boats. Heck, we use ours as a holding bin for our gear. I was addressing the cabin in a 32 foot cruiser as the initial discussion was about a 32 foot boat. And I was also talking about the time while dockside as that is generally the time one might be in the cabin. While dockside you have shorepower. Folks cruising or anchored generally don't spend time in the cabin, even to eat. So your discussion about the need for a genny or a large bank of batteries to run the AC is also a bit over the edge. And why are you now talking about small boats? |

If you don't spend any time in the cabin what is the point in having a
cabin. That's what this boat is about. I never saw the point in being in a docked boat. That's what I have a lake house for. " *JimH*" wrote in message ... "JamesgangNC" wrote in message link.net...

And why are you now talking about small boats? As I said earlier we use ours for storage. It also provides privacy when doing our thing on the porta potty. Lastly, it gives us the option of an overnighter on the boat, cramped quarters and all. A lake house is great but it is stationary and expensive. No adventure there. When we had your 32 footer we comfortably spent nights in the cabin (we could easily sleep 4 adults and 2 children in the cabin), with AC or heat when at our or other docks, without it when on the hook. We also had a fully enclosed head with shower. While cruising we spent our time mainly in the cockpit enjoying the sunshine. The boat gave us an opportunity to explore various ports. The 32 foot bowrider offers no option for overnighting in relative comfort. It also looks like it provides the cockpit space of only a 23 foot bowrider. Everyone has different priorities on what they need on a boat. You obviously do no overnighting and stick to inland lake boating...........so a bowrider is perfect for you. We have a different agenda. Different strokes. There is no right or wrong there. That does not, however, dismiss the fact that this 32 foot bowrider is a bit of a stretch, even realizing that the manufacturer may produce quality boats. And *that* was my original point. Peace. |

Neither is very practical in a smaller boat. At present I have a Crownline 210ccr on Lake Hartwell- along the GA SC border. This is a 21ft cuddy cabin boat. first used on Lake Murry just outside of Columbia SC. We are currently selling it because we no longer need a boat with a pottie in it, thus we are going to a bowrider. That being said, we have found by opening the door to to cockpit and opening the hatch while on the hook a pleasent breeze blows through the cuddy and makes it very nice to take a little snooze. Personally I can't recall it ever being to hot in there, but I am sure there may have been a time or two. Nine years of usage in the south without air conditioning or the desire for it. Capt Jack R.
