Just saw this browsing ebay...

I like the off center companionway. I always thought that was a nice feature to let one play around with space more.

Interesting! It looks like the keel has the bottom 12" removed. That would make it easier to launch, but I wonder how it was done. Seems like a lot of work. The cheap-o looking solar panels make me a little nervous about the quality of other materials used, but the other bits and pieces look good.

The lack of outside steering looks like a downside to me, but maybe that is normal in the trawler world.
