  2. I really like the looks of it...quite unique. But then I think back to the original Fountain/Pajot Louisiane 37 cat I imported to the USA in 1986. It had a small deckhouse like this with open cockpit space to access the sleeping areas. I liked that design also, but it was tough to sell on the market
