COMMENTS
We kept the name "Playpen" from the previous owners who had a young family. We have had many happy times with family and friends cruising the East Coast and occasional trips to Holland, Belgium and France. The deck-saloon arrangement allows for increased headroom of 6'3", she also has increased fuel and water storage.
