Pacific/BLM - 23 or 26 Sleeper

#1

Post by Challenge »

Hi Everyone,

The Pacific website says that the Sleeper cabin is available on a 23' also, has anyone seen one or have they built one yet? if so what were your impressions.

Also I'm looking for ideas for more shade/seating than the standard sleeper helm. As suggested before maybe a supertop w/access to the cabin.

Any ideas are appreciated. I want to have lots of ideas to have a productive call with Jay!

Cheers

Rick

Hey Rick,
My idea of perfection in a boat is a 23 standard super top with back to back seating and the sleeper cabin forward. Access to the berths could be from the side door as it exists in the ST now.
Either Kenny or Jay told me last year that they would move the console aft a little bit to accomidate the sleeper cabin.

I would do the sleeper on a 26 and the super top on the 23 with back to back seating and maybe extend the top to the rear if possable.

Yes, 23 ST model.......26 in Sleeper.

More room for dancin' wit the fishez.

Personally, I don't see a need for more than a Super Top to have good dry storage and a head for the sissies, because cabins like that usually end up full of your junk rather than any bodies actually "sleeping". Evidence is almost every single Pingpong boat in walkaround form. Usually purchased to keep the wife happy, that never goes anyhow. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Here, they are just to hot to go down in, unless it's winter.

Thanks for the responses so far, I need the cabin because I have two small boys (3 & 5) who still need naps, and I keep the boat on a mooring so the extra space to keep stuff dry will be useful. Does anyone know of a line drawing of a sleeper in 23' so I could get a feel for the space?

Thanks
