I love it and think I would get better use of the center cockpit, then typical rear cockpit layout, especially underway. And I would never feel comfortable catnapping in the V-berth doing solo trips even if the berth was right below the helm, so having the main v-berth sleeping cabin seperated from the rest of the pilothouse and saloon wouldn't bother me at all. In fact kinda like the total separation and privacy of the main sleeping berth if you had a guest or kids spending the night while anchored. Also, it doesn't show in this video, but the center cockpit engine access would facilitate quicker easier maintenance without dragging oil and dirt into the pilothouse. I love this layout.

PRICE....PRICE...PRICE..... can someone please send me a build and price sheet?

[@p.r.9219]

@kirkwilliams4942 When it was a 35 footer from China, base price was about $195k. Idk what options are available on the 37' but... the company has a website. No sure how good they are at answering inquiries..

[@kirkwilliams2127]

And again, no engine room shots.AAAARRRGGGGGGGGG

[@p.r.9219]

Look up Seapiper 35.

[@kirkwilliams4942]

Very cool design, I wish she had another foot or so of beam but a Sea Keeper should solve some of those issues. Of course, then you need a Generator.

[@edenhunter9904]

Yeah I think making it with a trailable beam was a mistake. You're not really going offshore in a boat with an 8 ft 6inch beam - stabilisers or no stabilisers.. and it's too big to be dragging around on land, so in trying to please everyone you end up pleasing fewer than you'd hoped to.

[@p.r.9219]

Boat still needs a redesign. Lose the center cockpit, stretch it a foot or two (39ft loa) NO WET HEAD ! Variable pitch prop & a day head by aft cockpit door.(in Pilothouse.) A 9.5ft beam & reverse raked Windscreen. It'd sell like hotcakes.

[@theboatgeeks]

We love reverse rake pilothouse windows, which this boat in fact has. Not a large degree of reverse rake, but it's there and looks pretty good from the side.

[@ryanrevis827]

One of the biggest selling points for the boat is its trailer ability. If you increase it to 9.5 you could not easily transport over the road. I agree with getting rid of center cockpit and no wet heads.

[@p.r.9219]

Over the road widths vary by State. In my State 9 1/2 ft width is legal during daylight hrs with signage on Truck & Trailer. No pilot vehicles req.

[@kirkwilliams2127]

Some of your ideas i second. Maybe make the center cockpit and option, I really like that. Or a way to enclose it in the winter. Lots of possibilities. But for sure on the beam if possible for it to still be trailerable. That’s the biggest benefit. Boat in the San Juans in Summer and Cali in the winter. Ship it down. Then off to do the Loop the next year.

[@chrishackett554]

I like the concept especially for the loop but a wet head on a 37 with all that wasted room in the mid section and limited master bed space. No thanks.

[@e.t.calledme]

Soooo...if it's raining I gotta get wet to go to bed?? Nah...😎

[@user-jc7jb3bu5s]

Umbrella...

[@e.t.calledme]

Y'all so funny! 😀

[@chrishackett554]

And a wet head on a 37 with all that wasted room in the mid section. No thanks

Great, all the inconvenience of a blow boat without the ability to SAIL it.
