A boat likely to be of interest
"Chuck Gould" wrote in message ps.com... Here's the result of my workday on Friday. :-) Like all Crownline boats, the 315 SCR is impressively styled and carefully assembled. =============== You must have forgot to bring you glasses with you when tested the boat Chuck. The forward leaning radar arch is ugly. The cockpit looks like a giant marshmellow and the cockpit layout is poorly designed. http://www.crownline.com/models/cruisers/315scr/aft.jpg http://www.crownline.com/models/crui...5scr/big/3.jpg http://www.crownline.com/models/crui.../main_boat.jpg |

Let's see, who to believe, someone who tests and writes about boats for a living, or a bipolar ranting fool........ |

I don't mind the design of the boat, but it does seem like the radar
arch would look better swept back. The interior is a nice design, but IMO, it looks like they could put more color in it. The Pilsberry Doughboy could become the invisibe man in there.

The Pilsberry Doughboy could become the invisibe man in there. I believe there are several different colors of interior upholstery available. The off whites are often displayed in shows, etc, as they are pretty neutral. Women make most of the color decisions aboard most boats, and they often like a somewhat blase' base color and then decorate with colorful throw pillows, galley items, etc. If you want dark red, tan, blue, or what not I'm sure that same fabric is available in those colors. I'd have to study the engineering a bit, but one reason for the forward sweep of the radar arch may be to create a better location from which to stretch canvas fore and aft. Turning the arch around would require a really long front canvas, I think. Besides, I think the forward arch gives the boat a contemporary look. Oh well, that's why they offer boats in various styles- different strokes. |

I like the radar arch, and don't agree with the marshmallow comparison. It might be that the upholstery makes a different impression in person than it does on a website photo, who knows? (Or, maybe if you actually went aboard one of these models you would still think it looked like a marshmallow- and you'd have every right to your opinion). As far as the cockpit layout goes, I'd like to have you elaboarate on "poorly designed." I noticed two transom doors, one on either side of the sunpad. The main transom door that most people would use is to port, and from there it's a relatively straight shot all the way to the companionway door. One half step to clear the wetbar on the port side and get inboard of the lounge seat. The aft starboard quarter of the cockpit becomes a social area, with table, blocking that transom door when the table is in place and the removable seat is installed. How would you change or improve the cockpit design? Good discussion. :-) |

The aft sunpad is a waste of space. They overdid it with the seating in the cockpit. JMO. ;-) |

To the extent I agree with JimH. But all we have to go by is the pics.
I will agree it might be a whole different scenerio up front and live. Again, the interior does look puffy, marshmello white, but I'm glad you did mention different color options. I wish that had been explained. I think there is too much white for even the sales pics, . especially when you look at the bigger pic. Like, what kind of stains would be left on that beautiful fabric after being wallowed in sun tan oils. Stuff that actually penetrates the material and left unattended. IMO. It would ahve been nicer if theere had been come color scheme, though. Actually, what should I care? I can't afford it anyhow. I think it IS a nice looking craft, though.

I still can't get used to that radar arch. Actually, I think it would
look better without it. Don't matter, I still can't afford it....
