    I don't know that particular boat, but the house and cockpit are not the way LFH designed them.

    The raised-roof house extension spoils her looks, IMO.

    Given that Paul is 6'4", the raised roof is better for us.

    The H28 was designed without standing headroom. Some had a raised doghouse at the rear that wasn't too bad. This one has both a raised cabin and doghouse, and loses much of the design's appeal. It's a pretty small interior in any case.
