Headroom in a F36 Convertible

Post by bmeeks »

Can anyone tell me the headroom at the door of the master berth. The F32 has 6'3" headroom, but has a rise in the deck at that point. The F36 does not have the same rise.

BTW - I am 6'4"

Thanks

yep - that would be the point. In a F32, I can stand to get my britches on. Not sure that's the case in a F36.

thx for the help.

thx for both measurements. I keep going back and forth on a F32 and F36. Prices are falling to the point that both are comparable.

I intend to live aboard, so space is critical.

Go for the space. Even if you are concerned about the fuel costs of the heavier boat, don't worry about it. The way we idle around to go for a ride these day, it will be the same fuel regardless of weight :)
