Seems a shame - mid berth

[RussGW270]

I was bored.. yea, I get that way.. heh

Seems a shame, the 270... it could aaaallllmost be configured with a mid-berth like the 282... would not be big, just for a small kid or storage, but part of me says it would be worth losing the fridge or microwave to get a mid berth.. heh

Not sure it would be worth the cost to retrofit.. lol.. but, just sayin...

Mid-berth wouldn't be where the fridge and microwave are. It would be aft of the companionway steps, under the bridge deck area. That area currently has a lot of empty space on the port side, a lot of structural support under the helm on the starboard side, and centerline is the holding tank and the potable water tank.

Do some exploring - lift that small hatch on the bridge deck and see what's there - or I can send you pictures. Lift the big hatch in the cockpit to see what the top of the tank looks like, and really clean the area. GE Silicone II in almond color is the correct sealant.

Oh, I get that. I meant that most the ones with mid berth have the door mostly port side. To do that on this model, the sink area would have to disappear.

Either way, not enough space to make it worthwhile I am sure, but for a small kiddo, that would have made this model perfect, imo heh.

Always a toss up...more weight and beam, less weight and under permit limit
