To me you aren't making sense. Scumbalino show CAD drawings of your
cockpit
being around 7.1 feet. Bob agreed with him. Then you say it is 7 feet,
not
7'1". Are you nuts?


You missed something. Bob is now claiming that the drawing does not
show an inside dimension of 7 feet and that it's more like 6.
If they believe that, then what's the problem with the wager? The
problem is that poor Bob said that the cockpit was small, when in fact
it's about the same size as any other 35 cruiser or larger. Frankly 6 X
5'9 would have been fine as well. That's still on par with plenty of
boats. The 35s5 has a 7 foot long cockpit measured as stated. Will
these clowns stand behind their claims?


I see what the point of contention is. Maybe Bob is claiming 6 feet for a
fully appointed cockpit with premium cushions. Cushions do subtract from
useable cockpit size. Does your cockpit have premium cushions? I have doubts
about your claim that 7 feet is a good sized cockpit for a 35 footer. The
Catalina 350 has a cockpit of almost 8.5 feet in length and a wider beam
than your boat. http://www.yachtshare.com/cgi-bin/di...small?bid=5022
One of its selling points is the ability for people to sleep in the cockpit
along with a track record of high quality valued priced yachts. Did you
consider the 350 over the 35s5? Have you any regrets?
