Hello,
I'm looking to purchase a big Starcraft Chieftain. I've gone to look at a few and something that stands out immediately is how hot it is inside the cabin on a warm day. It's not even hot summer weather here yet but I imagine you would literally die in there on hot day. Opening windows didn't help much but admittedly not much wind on those days.
I'd like to use the boat for camping/overnight trips but man this has me rethinking.
Can any Chieftain owners comment on this issue? If you are overnighting on your boat does the cabin cool down enough in the evenings to sleep in there? How about storing food or beer? When underway I imagine it's fine but just sitting there....wow that is a lot of deck space that seems unusable.
