ah, such fine yachts.

that transom cushion is sweet. it is the prefect shape to sit there. because of the curve of the top of the transom you can always position yourself comfortable vertical.

these look like nice boats.

Al,
I like both boats, the one in MN looks really sweet in the photos he sent me, but very little electronics.

I have exchanged a few emails with the broker but I really need to sell my boat before moving forward.

all the extra little cabin cushions are a nice plus on the mn 285. and if the pictures are current, the wood work looks very nice. so is the cockpit table.

for the price a autopilot would be nice. they are so hugely useful, at least i think so.
