Mid cabin ?

I've seen them before. Stingray boats had it as an option many years ago.

No front door on your 27? how do you wash it? Just curious.
I have a 28 Donzi ZX Open. Fantastic boat. It has the dual cabin doors so I don't worry about ocean running, etc. If the going gets rough we button up. The main complaint I have is getting to the bow isn't exactly easy. Just the nature of the beast... you have to crawl and bend a bit. Still better than walking up front on a bow though.
The open bow makes anchoring easier. Trailering easier (it's easy to pop up from the front of the trailer into the front seating area). Docking is easier. When running slow the boat either holds more people or we are just more spread out... a plus either way. When running fast, no one rides up front.
An Ex Donzi employee said they do run a few MPH slower than their closed cabin counterparts because of aerodynamic issues. The Donzi specs put the Open models a bit lighter in weight so that is logical. I'd love to have a hard top for the front though... I have an idea how to mock one up that I may do one day.
I want to get a DC air conditioner for the cabin. should cool off in no time and give the kids a place to nap, and us a place to beat the heat for a few minutes.
Storage is not all that bad, there is storage all under the front seats... accessible from the cabin on both sides and the forward 3 seats lift up.
