E31 cockpit size.
Dear friend, It's too bad that I only read your post last evening after spending the day on our boat. I'll hang on to your question and next time I'm at the boat, I'll check those measurement unless someone else beats me to the punch. Keiffer, David, Greg, Kurt or any other E31 owners, can you pitch in and help? Glyn Judson, E31 hull #55, Marina del Rey CA

E31 cockpit size.
Dear friend, I stopped by the boat this morning and came up with the following. The overall length of the cockpit from the cabin bulkhead to the rear of the bench seat in the T-shaped cockpit is 97". That includes a 13" bridge deck leaving the cockpit benches approximately 48" long. The slightly tapered coaming measures 75" just aft of the traveler and 64" at the aft of the two benches. The benches themselves are 20" deep while the cockpit sole is 32" wide. Here's hoping that this helps. Are you building something neat for an E31 cockpit or what? Curious minds want to know.

Sleeping in the cockpit.
Dear friend, I steam bent teak and attached them to the ends of the benches so as to accept inserts I made to fill the gab between them and the aft seat. The space is perfect for a throwable PFD and with all that in place, one can sleep comfortably with foot room to spare, photos attached Glyn.
