I went thru one to see specifically how hard it would be to work on one. Yes, it has some issues. A lot of folks have modified the floor with hatches to make engine access much easier. I crawled around down there and it was quite doable. No, it's not a DeFever, but not bad.


The hard spot is the starboard side, where there's a holding tank. Need to deal with that.


Other things like access to generator, electrical panel, batteries is good. Running wires would have a few challenges but looks doable. Not any worse than my Mainship.
