I came from a GW 216 to the Freedom 235. I have a second "captain's chair" on the port side to maximize cockpit space. I also added a trolling motor and made a filler for the bow so that I have a large casting platform. The lounger, i, is a waste of space. My wife prefers riding in the bow. The eisenglass enclosure is so much better than wings on a cc. Our boating season has been significantly lengthened here on the Ches Bay. I haven't found docking the 235 to be too much more difficult. Head is better on the 235 as well.
