When I purchased Seafrog I asked Bob Eeg if I could have one with the galley. He told me that he wasn't making them like that and advised me that I would be happier in the long run with the 3 1/2 berth layout. And how right he was. Even with a galley it seems like it would be a little less than comfortable trying to prepare meals on my knees or sitting sideways. If I cook anything, I can use my backpacking stove either on the V berth or if the weatther is nice, I can stand in the cabin and cook in the cockpit. Anyway, just my opinion. Good luck in your search. Joe Seafrog M-17 "..I'd rather be a small frog out on the seas than a rich prince in a castle..."
