[Rhodes22-list] boom room

[Bill Effros]

John,

The pop-top enclosure is different from the Boom Room.  The Pop-Top 
enclosure is an elegant addition to the boat.  Many people have them, 
and everyone raves about them.

The Boom-Room is still in the prototype stage.  Many people have them, 
but most are different.  The concept is elegant, but Stan has not been 
satisfied with his engineering to date.  He feels there is too much 
stuff required to hold it up compared to the number of uses you are 
likely to get from actually deploying it.

On my Pop-Top Enclosure there is a Velcro strip at the stern end where 
the Pop-Top enclosure is supposed to attach to the Boom Room enclosure.

I have attached pictures of Slim's Boom Room and Roger's Boom Room.  
Both are different from Stan's Boom Room.  I believe Stan now makes them 
differently from the way it is shown on his web site.

I plan to get a Boom Room this winter (Ed, I'll need it for the Keys) 
and that will force Stan to think about it again.  Like Mary Lou, I use 
my Pop-Top Enclosure all the time, and just love it.  It coverts the 
cabin into a nicer stateroom than I have slept in in much larger boats.

The only problem with the Pop-Top enclosure is that when you are using 
the cabin to sleep in, you can't use if for much else.  I anticipate 
that adding the Boom Room will be like adding a bedroom to my house.
