26 Atlantic input??

[billyttpd]

Like all boat owners you look bigger after awhile....In my area a Grady White Atlantic 26 is for sale....I was wondering what the beam is? I think they are 8'6" but not sure....that seems to be a narrow boat to have a "flybridge" Any owners or previous owners out there..Its not a commonplace Grady model so I'm looking for some feedback pro and cons. Thanks

I've never seen one of these on the water - it says only 61 were made. The design and proportion look okay in the photos but I don't see any way to control it from the deck. That is, no second station like a conventional flybridge. I wonder if you can reach the controls when standing on the starboard side of the deck beside the cabin. I would want to be able to do that when docking or fishing shorthanded.
