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.

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.

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.
