The R200 also includes two fold-down jumpseats built along the transom — the most comfortable, if not the driest, seats on a cruise. A standard oval-shape, blue-interior 15-gallon livewell sits in between them. These are all great amenities, but they do eat into the limited cockpit space of a 20-footer. Do you want comfort or roominess? I’ll take the comfort here.
Fighting fish won’t be a problem, not when you factor in the standard coaming bolsters and recessed toe rails. The gunwale tops are 10 inches wide around the boat, creating a great nonslip step so you can board from bow to stern. The console has 5 feet of headroom, deep for a 20-footer. A portable MSD is optional, and this head compartment has a hanging rack for your PFDs or wet clothing.

The compartments are insulated and drain overboard, and serve as fish boxes or coolers. The recessed bow rail and side-mounted bow cleats keep hardware out of the way.

That particular vacation was unforgettable to us. Sailing on the water gives you such a relaxing sensation, yet a clarifying one.
