Any chance for a YouTube overview of your
boat? "Pantry" and toy
storage options maybe? Did you option a
generator? How much storage is left in the forward hatches under the forward
cockpit seating? Is there a place to put away the forward
cockpit cushions (for seating and the sunbed) without stacking them in the
salon or a
cabin and without giving up storage for toys?
Is there anywhere big enough to store a pair of folding bikes?
Did you get a
watermaker? Where is it (or would be) installed? Does it have a
remote control panel or to you have to get at a
hatch?
Would it destroy the comfort of the starboard lounging seat in the
salon if you
lost 4" of width to install a pop-up television behind it?
How much storage is under the new rear-cockpit seating just in front of the
dinghy lift? Does the floor of the storage compartment (assuming there is any) extend down to the salon sole level, or does it extend down to the
depth of the... sorry, having trouble coming up with the terminology... the bottom of the bridge
deck? (Making it what, a good 12" or more deeper, appropriate for storing tall items.)
Did you get the full coverage
canvas bimini up top? The one I saw in a video for a Is it available in
fiberglass? I've seen a
canvas bimini on a Bali 4.0 in
Kavas Yacht Charter on YouTube which looks to have a sort of ladder built into the aft supports, but I assume you're not actually supposed to walk on the canvas to access the
mainsail stack? That can't be the intent right? A large hardtop bimini would really interest me for unobstructed
solar and access to the stack. How do you find stuffing the
mainsail and zipping up the bag? It looks effectively out of reach for anyone under 6' to me?
Apologies for pelting you with questions. You're the first person I've seen "in the wild" with the 4.1, and it's a boat I'm very excited about (if you couldn't tell)!
Finally, if you have any thoughts on the 4.0 I'd love to hear them as well. It appears the 2018 Bali's have upgraded the
interior finishes significantly, but I'm mostly concerned about how big a compromise having the folding transom instead of the new seating area would be if I managed to find a used 4.0 with the L-shaped dining seating (which appears to be a switch or option made available at some point, maybe 2017, but I haven't been able to identify when it happened other than the introductory boats all had the straight sofa apparently).
