    My only gripe is that the forward cabin is too tight. With a beam only 8.5 feet, it should be the width of the boat, from bottom to top.

    Sam has been an inspiration to my boat building adventures since 1997 when I stumbled onto his designs. We spoke in 2001 about what I wanted to build next, and he gave me some suggestions and encouragement. I would love to build a Surf Scoter 22, cruiser version some day.

      Thank you for the feedback. Equipment was purchased when we thought we were going to be an audio-only podcast (2018), but we're saving for better mounts that have a low profile to eliminate pretty much all of the blocking. Unfortunately they're $400 each, so we're not there yet.

Maine, north Atlantic, Alaska, Great lakes, where you get storms, cold weather, ice, rain, etc. Having to gear up to cross could get hard.

      …dont forget being fine with guess having to use the toilet at night. Not sure what the innovative design is about. It’s more or less a polished version of a traditional Danish fishing vessel, but at the same time being impractical for commercial fishing. Sure look’s nice, but what a odd boat.

    One of my newest concerns!!!! With all boat construction design Cruisers ect: FIREs - Batteries! Batteries have changed!! They work way better! BUT!!! They catch on fire a lot easier!!! Fire and boat is about as bad a horror story that one can think of. Saw one Catamaran that had a flooding battery compartment? That looked interesting? I’d like to see many of these Marine TH-camrs talk about it with solutions and remind Cruisers think about this scenario! A fire at sea is unthinkable

    I love it and think I would get better use of the center cockpit, then typical rear cockpit layout, especially underway. And I would never feel comfortable catnapping in the V-berth doing solo trips even if the berth was right below the helm, so having the main v-berth sleeping cabin seperated from the rest of the pilothouse and saloon wouldn't bother me at all. In fact kinda like the total separation and privacy of the main sleeping berth if you had a guest or kids spending the night while anchored. Also, it doesn't show in this video, but the center cockpit engine access would facilitate quicker easier maintenance without dragging oil and dirt into the pilothouse. I love this layout.
