I see what looks like a chine crease fwd and nothing speaks of FD except for possibly her convex/curved stem. Looks a bit like a sailboat because of it. But I'll bet she's a fairly typical SD hull.


Re the W36 if there was a cabin configuration I liked I would probably have one. There was a W36 available for $65K and I was strongly considering pursuing it but the very high pilothouse put me off that course. The view from up there is great though. Stabilizers just makes a boat too complex and takes it out of the "handy" category that I seem to need.

But re marketing/selling one now a lower pilothouse w good visibility may move more boats. The W36 is a FULL disp boat making no pretenses at being SD at all so is very speed restricted, however being longer than my W30 is is a bit faster. If the space on board was designed wisely and balanced toward interior space It's hard to imagine one finding it lacking in that regard as it's a big 36' boat.
