Very nice craft - I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
Suggest you resist any temptation to add an upper station. The added complexity of engine controls, engine instrumentation, steering, and nav instruments are unreal.
This is based on my experience owning a 38' Bristol trawler with an upper station. First problem is usually a bubble working it's way into the upper helm - suddenly no steering. Second is not being able to throttle down to idle from the upper station, because the lower station wasn't left at idle. The list goes on....
I sold the boat before I tossed the upper station.

I think the upper station is the most unpractical idea on the go. My friend Charlie and I were out on his 30 ft power boat the other day and he pointed out and beautiful 40 ft trawler type deal. I looked at it and said it would be a good boat if it didn't have that top heavy, wind catching monstrosity on it. Of course there's the 2-3 foot white piece of panel under the flybridge....which in my honest opinion is just ugly.

I like the Blue boat and can't stand the White boat....look at that monstrosity (white thing)...where does anyone thing they are going in that....way too much expense just to keep it stable and it still wouldn't be worth a fiddlers in a rolling sea....but that's just me.

I'll burn that ship to the waterline before I allow an upper station to be built upon it!

I like it - it draws air out of the cabin - seems to do a good job at taking stale/hot air out of the galley.

Strikingly beautiful craft. Nice choice on the white trimmed windscreen. Always liked that look.

I'd dearly love to cruise that lady into a waterside crabhouse dock on the Chesapeake and watch the heads turn.
