I have been working on painting the bottom of Seafrog, my newly acquired factory fresh M-17, at a boat yard/marine surplus store. It gets a lot of foot traffic from folks buying stuff for their boats and I have been getting a lot of comments. In addition to the normal "..what a cute little boat" one passerby commented "that's the biggest small boat I've seen". I too found the cockpit to be extremely comfortable with the unusually high coamings. My last boat was a NorSea 27 and I thought it had the most comfortable cockpit of any boat I've ever been on. That was until I took some well deserved work breaks sitting in the cockpit. Can't wait til splash down!!
