Not impressed with the Camano 31

One of the reasons there are so many boat manufacturers and sizes and styles of boats our there is that different people look for different things in boats. Then we have different climates and budgets.

As a boat gets smaller, some features have to be sacrificed, but not everyone can afford or justify a 50' boat. Or even a 40' boat.

The bottom line is, you pays your money and you takes your choice.

Per the Camano and its glass saloon: They do make two part shades, a pull down almost gauze material and a pull down addition of pull down to keep the light out. I have them on my AT. I like them a lot. Helps keep the summer heat down and the cold sort of out.
It is also one of those classic excuses, if I need to see outside, I can either raise the shades or look out the doors.

I like the Camano a lot.
The only thing I don’t care for is the planing hull. And of course all planing boats are light. Prop clearance should be better than most and directional stability also. I’d prefer it didn’t have the FB but prolly wouldn’t “kick it out of bed”.
