    I am looking for a Pilothouse motor yacht, preferably a 52-54 but would consider a 58-62. I like the Offshore, Ocean Alexander and West Bay Sonships. Just looked at a 2006 Ocean Alexander 58. Very nice. I like the covered side decks/walkways of the Offshore models, but broker told me the engine rooms were not walk in which I don't like. Any comments on the engine room size of the Offshore 54-62?

    Definitely not walk in, and even once you're in they are not stand-up size unless you're like 5'6" or something like that. Love the boat though.

    I have a 2000 Offshore 62 I'm 5'10" tall and IT IS A WALk IN engine room. Outboard of the engines are a tad tight but just did the turbos and aftercoolers on the 3196's and it was tight but fine. If you are 6'10" and 400 lbs you might not fit. This coming from a guy that had a Bertram 54 with 12V92's that is a tight engine room. The Offshore has great access to both Gensets, water maker, Port Turbo is a two man job but totally doable. Listen to people that have been there and done that not brokers. My only advice add more lights LED's are nice. Early 62's have other short comings but engine room size is not one of them. Look at plumbing, they did not use shut off valves and plastice PEX fittings at 25 years old sucks. Electrical is well designed and done well. Fit and Finish is great. We lived on the boat for a year in Cabo and were very comfortable. Storage is great as well by the way. Great fuel capacity made it down the peninsula no stops and had 350 gallons left when we arrived, genset and AC's running most of the time. For the money they are great cruising boats and the newer ones they have managed to engineer a lot of the Taiwan out of them.
