Standing headroom inside the cuddy is 4′ 10″, sitting head-room 37″ and the bunks are an impressive 7′ long. This is one of the few 23′ cuddies where overnighters can sleep with their heads forward. Ventilation and natural light is provided by an overhead 17″ x 17″ hatch. The two 4″ x 14″ side ports with screens increase airflow at night, as does the lockable bi-fold door which has abundant screened louvers positioned high and low to induce natural air circulation. There are two conveniently placed red/white dome lights in the cuddy and a storage compartment in the forepeak bulkhead has room for soft gear and a huge under-floor compartment aft is ideal for duffle bags, deck chairs, life jackets, etc.
The 23 Classic comes standard with a comfortable fabric-covered four-piece cushion set (filler piece not inserted in photo) and is frequently equipped with an optional portable toilet or full marine head and pump out system.
