Bob Austin brings up some very good points, especially about structural integrity. The layout now has the salon at the aft area with the pilothouse on top of it, which leaves most of the bow open for the tender. It's a great arrangement for cruiseing the icw, you can see everything, all around. It is not built nearly strong enough to survice a knockdown, nor is the salon. In a roll, all this junk would be left floating behind the boat after it recovered. Our plan is to remove the pilothouse, restructure the salon adding full covered walkarounds and build a pilothouse on the deck ahead of the salon, much like the kk42. By the way, the only thing this boat has in common with Kadey Krogens is the designer, the hull is incredible, the structure leaves a lot to be desired, so now would be the time to remedy that. We could rebuild everything stronger and keep the original configureation, but I like the looks of the newer kk's. Any ideas ??
