Looking for C-Dory 22 Cruiser in New England with high top

Plan C

I have an order in with Les at EQMarine - I'll note that he is as helpful and knowlegeable as has been said on this forum - for a 22 Cruiser. One item I am unsure of is the option of the high clearance top. Is there anyone in New England (Maine through CT) who has one with a high top, and would you be willing to let me see it?

I would appreciate also, comments from others who have this top, wish they did, or wish they didn't! I am 6'2"

I have the regular top on our 22' Cruiser and have never had the opportunity to compare with a hi-top, but I am 6' 3" and have never found it to be a problem. When inside the cabin, I am usually seated at the helm. When cooking on the stove (pretty rarely, I admit) the slight stoop has never been a bother. Would have liked to have seen a hi-top before buying, but any worries I had about feeling claustrophobic in the enclosed C-Dory wheelhouse never materialized, and the comfort and versatility of an all-weather, all-season vessel have been fantastic.

Regards,
