Marinaut Interior Dinette, Galley, and Storage of the "Betty Ann"
The cabin, shown with the bulkhead removed in Les' photo on Facebook, in our view is quite large. One could argue that it is really 7' 7" long, and the 5' 9" berth extends out 18" into the cabin, which allows a person to sit on the berth while visiting with three other people in the cabin, as well as allowing easy access to the portable toilet under the center cushion. Of course, when the left, rear cushions are put into place, the berth extends to a total length of 7', reducing the floor space in the cabin at night. Visually however, the cabin still looks 7' 7"' long. That's the genius of this design. Please notice, too, the width of the floor in front of the dinette and galley: it is wide enough for two people to easily pass one another, which we feel is an important feature for living comfortably in a small boat.

Wallas Fuel Tank underneath sink. 9/26/12 update -- we use diesel. It is such a miser on fuel, that the level has not dropped much this. Good thing we did not use kerosene, or else it would have to be discarded at the end of the season. Diesel lasts two years.

The Marinaut 215 cockpit has plenty of space for entertaining guests. We had 4 people in the cockpit enjoying Mimosa's and cheese while anchored (with anchor dragging) on the Niantic River in Niantic, CT. To give one an example of scale, I'm 6 feet 250 lbs.

Close up of Helm Wiring

Les solved the issue of the door clearing past the steps by making the step slightly narrower and setting it back slightly. It works great! Now I can do port side docks, but we still prefer the starboard side because a) it's easier for me to grab the docking cleat from the helm station, and b) my wife and I find it is easier to enter and exit the boat from the starboard side.
