In Response To: Re: 35' EGG/PREDITOR (John)

I took a look at one of the Egg/Preditors at a show last year. While the layout and lines look nice, I personally didn't think it was practicle.

First off, while it looks nice, the cockpit is actually very small for a 35 footer.

Second, you have to step up from the cockpit to the helm area, which has a central helm station. Add that to the helm area seating and it makes for very tight quarters.

Third, going from the helm into the cabin is a very high steep climb, either coming or going. Not what I would want to deal with anywhere other than at the dock.

Like I said, while it may look nice and pretty, I don't think this boat is ergonomically efficient. If Ihad my choice of keeping my 31 Bahia Mar or getting a brand new Egg/Preditor for free,..........I'd keep my 31.

Just my 2 cents,
Harv
