Jay, the versatility of the early 22' is it is easily converted to a "walk around". It was a narrow cabin. The anchor locker storage is accessible from the interior of cuddy but....deploying the anchor can be easily done walking to the bow outside of the cuddy. , I raised my railings from the second stanchion down from the cuddy and matched the height to run parallel with the gunnels. The taller rails makes the walk safer and frees up the space in the cuddy . I installed an electric anchor winch which is managed from the pilot seat. The 22' boat in question also has a stainless rail which protects the motor. The boat is a little cheaper than the one you are interested in. Quite frankly, for the $2000 savings I would very well purchase it as a "back up hull " for my own boat if it was for sale on the west coast. I say grab it.

Edit: Jay....these comments are being made if the condition of the hulls are both in similar/good shape.
