The aft cabin bulkhead is optional and removable; removing it leaves the aft end of the cabin completely open to the cockpit and a canvas drop curtain is optional. There is a sill at the forward end of the cockpit to keep any water on the deck from entering the cabin when the aft bulkhead is removed or the door is open.
The cockpit has a flat floor and is large enough for fishing, crabbing, and shrimping (prawning). It s also large enough for a couple of nice deck chairs and a table. In addition it s large enough to accommodate a couple of sleepers if need be. With camper canvas the cockpit becomes another large "room" which is much appreciated in inclement weather. In hotter weather a Bimini top over the cockpit will give shade and protection from the sun.
The cabin features 6 4" of headroom. There is a dinette to port with storage under the aft dinette seat; the forward dinette seat swivels from facing forward to facing aft and there is a storage compartment under.
The forward v-berth will accommodate someone about 5' 10" laying down comfortably without the berth extensions; with the berth extensions in place the v-berth is about 7' long. It's quite wide and comfortable and with no cabin bulkhead on the port side it s very easy to get in and out and has an open airy feeling. The portable toilet is located under the center v-berth filler cushion.
Aft of the helm seat is the galley with a standard sink (with electric pump) and single burner butane stove (a Wallas stove/heater is optional). The galley counter is deep and there is quite a lot of storage under it.
The helm station is comfortble with room for larger folks and the helm seat slides fore and aft. There are three windows forward, all equipped with pantographic wipers and gear driven motors. The center window opens. The vertical dash space is intended for gauges and swithces, and there s a flat dash space above for electronics. There are two drawers for storage under the helm seat.
