Jerry, I realize others have different needs, but since I mostly cruise alone and sleep in the cabin, I vote a bit more cabin space. All boats are compromises, but for a capable and easy to handle cruiser, the 15 is about as perfect as a boat can be.

I'm leaving this afternoon for an annual canoe camping/fishing in a wilderness are in the Sierras, and when I get back I'll review them and come up with some kind of concensus and post it. Looks like we are prejudiced in the way of wrinkles, as I suspected. For my next column for SCA I'm working on an artical on small boat interiors, which ties in with all this. jerry _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats Remember, there is no privacy on the Internet!
