Yea I got ya, 5 extra feet makes a huge difference. The cabin in your boat reminds me a lot of mine. The fresh water tank was on the starboard aft of the galley.
Ok, then I suppose you intend to use your boat in the winter and still have an all around view while cruising and keeping wind and water at bay.
I have a cuddy but frisky doesn't knock too often these days unfortunately. :)
