I was thinking that the cabin design would likely give a nice open floor area ... not having the port or starboard dinette. More like a wider beam model that typically has the hull-side lounger/couch and an open floor.

Regardless of the looks of the windshield, I certainly like the functionality that it would provide.

Walking over the dinette to get to the Vberth is a necessity, the back of the seat lifts up to extend the bed (interior pictures shows it lifted up). This design does give the interior more space.


I would almost welcome that setup on my 298 Vista. The Vberth on my boat is so high up and I can't tell you how many times my young kids have accidently fallen off it on to the cabin floor. I also like the way they moved some of the cooking area out into the cockpit. I always hated cooking down below because it stunk up the place. Moreover, cooking is an integral part of boating and it should be enjoyed by all (those cooking and those watching). I thing the tall windshield would be perfect for boaters who keep their canvas up all year long but it would not be for me because I like sitting on the bolster seat with the wind in my face. Like someone else stated, she is a mini-V435.

For continuity's sake this should be posted here.... Thanks to 9Ball for posting in another thread.
This is a hort video of the V305 that was at the Fort Lauderdale boat show. It shows more of the cockpit functions and the below deck area.
