Flush decks have big aft decks with plenty of room for line handling. No need to get on the platform which is just plain dumb when docking
I probably should look at the next size down, a 53 perhaps, would that be a flush deck like yours? The 61/63 is too big for a single guy, (in case mama kicks me out, will miss my dog.) Time will tell, maybe I won’t need a liveaboard boat after all but as a former Boy Scout I always look at plan B, just in case.
Hang on, You keep dat puppy.. Move in on our Bertram if you AND puppy need a dawg house. However, Just don't piss off da missis and all of this just may be a bad dream. They don't ever get over it. Remember I have two exes and their not in Texas.
