I the short time I've had the boat, I've grown to appreciate the 
ocean cockpit.  Sure, it takes a bit more practice getting in and 
out, but I find it much more comfortable than the enormous cockpit of 
my previous boat (a CD Storm).  With the Storm (and many of the other 
large cockpit boat I've tried), my legs are spread quite wide (about 
14").  This (or other fit issues) has always resulted in my left 
lower leg going numb within about an hour.  In the Pintail with ocean 
cockpit, my knees are only about 8" and I have yet to experience this 
problem.
