Ahoy Meaties,
I’ve been looking at boats again lately. I’ve found that many are just too small and cramped for me, or rather, I’m too big for them.
I was aboard a Mainship 390 a few days ago, and had to turn sideways and really squeeze to get into the head and guest stateroom. I only just fit through the shower door.
I’ve felt the same way aboard every Grand Banks 36 and 42 I’ve been aboard. Those side doors would have me stubbing my toes and hitting my head every time.
I do realize that losing weight would literally solve 98.549% of all problems I have with this, and in fact the rest of my life, but I haven’t managed to do that yet. I will, but I haven’t yet.
I don’t want this thread to turn into weight loss advice. Rather, I’m wondering if there are any boats out there in the 39-45’ range that are more open and big guy friendly. Boats that don’t feel like they’ve done all they can to shoehorn as many amenities as possible into the space, comfort be damned.
Any thoughts?
