I am currently not a SeaRay Owner but seriously considering the 360 Sundancer, 2000ish.
Like some other models, it looks like there could be limited Air Flow in the forward Cabin.
Anyone have issues on a hot night on the hook ? Any Ideas how to improve Air Flow ?
Anybody considered installing a set of Forward Port Holes below the Rub Rail ?
 
We had two different 330's and live in a VERY hot area. Average temps at night in the summer run in the 70's. We always slept with the forward hatch open and the screen installed. We would open some of the side windows in the salon or the patio door because we had screens for all of those.
 
Thanks Gofirstclass, Our current boat has two screened port holes below the rub rails. This provides a great cross breeze and even in the rain, no water leaks, I only wish SeaRay would include these in their designs. I think the fixed portholes can be replaced with opening Screen Types, but some designs , like the 360, don't include port holes at all. I wounder if they could be cut out and added.
