|Not much of a boat for a serious fisherman...web page sez it has 35
|square feet of cockpit space, which is skimpy for a 27' "fishing" boat.
|My 25' Parker had about 90 square feet of cockpit space, plenty of room

Their 32 footer has as much cockpit space as my 23 footer..... suppose
it really has a 74" cockpit depth?



I saw those measurements, too. So...you mount a boarding ladder inside
the cockpit so you can reach over the gunnels to grab your fish?

I'll say one thing about those slabsiders...when your twin ETECs crap
out, just angle the side of the boat into the wide and sail home.
