General Discussion / Re: Baycruiser 23 Engine ...and headroom
« Last Post by Sea Simon on Today at 21:57 »My BC 1001, as it's now known, has standing headroom at a MAX of about 5ft. Sitting headroom throughout.
At a height of 5ft 8, so far it's Normally worked for me...but a couple of unplanned captive "wet weekends" on board were perhaps at my limit? A transparent acrylic washboard really helps tho, physiologically, if not added head room
As Matt said, he's sold a lot more boats with the added headroom...prettier...or (definitely not, imho) not! As I've said on here before, I can live with the lack of headroom due, at least in part, to the glow/pride that I get as I approach the boat on the water.
I'd have one of the proposed new BC 32's in a heartbeat...looks/layout very much like my BC 26, but with standing headroom.
Sounds to me like a BC 23, either inboard or outboard, would probably suit you very well?
What we haven't discussed, is the sparking sailing performance of these boats. All of which, imho, are leagues ahead of the Drascombes, crabbers etc alternatives.
