[C320-list] Fw: oooooopppppppps

[Kirk McCullough]

My wife and I both rejected the 350. That huge intrusion into the saloon 
from the forward location of the head did seem weird. It feels like a bigger 
boat than the 36, but I do like the 36 much better overall too.

Anyway we are looking at used C42's now. We like the "pullman" berth in the 
center cabin... talk about headroom !
