Kurt!
Good to hear from you again. We've been wondering.. Sounds like your interior has been working out great for you. That open design really makes a ton of sense, and makes me wish I had never put the main bulkhead back in 113. So, when you're not underway can the u-berth be made into one giant berth? Call it a conversation pit, or, playpen depending on the guest. Keeping the area dry and clean would seem to be a challenge, but man, it would be nice to just flop down and read, watch a video or whatever. Like an even more relaxed version of Ebb's easy chair. At anchor under the summer awning would be easy enough to keep the water out. How about under way? Have you given any more thought to the inflatable dodger frame? Maybe a bimini? I sure hope you chronicle the conversion of Katie Marie's footwell as that is an idea I keep entertaining.

Yah, pictures get a nod. Big time. And accretion has got to be way better than secretion!
Thanks for the update.
