N.Y. area. If you have any questions you can call. They are great boats just take you time getting use to. Very fast and you tend to forget it. I lower my drives and did some other things. Nothing major or anything outerlimits did wrong. Have fun be careful.

Beautiful boats. Why not send them back to the factory to be fixed?

GK- how do you enter your 1/2 cabin, thru the deck hatch?

The hatches are set up to come off not really a factory issue. It would be very tough to make water and air tight, there are vents that let fresh air into cockpit so the pressure wants to push the lids up on the corners. I have owned other canopied boats and by far these are pretty good.

The leaking I'm referring to is extremely bad on both the cockpit and deck hatches (not just a few drops of water). I concur sealing the cockpit hatches is more difficult but not impossible. Regardless, the two deck hatches leak just as bad. I'm replacing the entire rubber seal with a different design. I also have owned Sea Ray, Donzi, Nor-Tech, Scarab and have never had leaking deck hatches to this severity. Kinda of surprised considering the rest of the boat is extremely high quality.

Oh DT, to answer your question, you enter the cabin from the hatches on the deck.
