58 Tri-cabin information

[Westfield 11]

I've been looking through the brochure archives and have not been able to get any idea of the layout and location of the engine room/rooms of these boats, as well as where the genset is located, etc. I tried a search of the forums but "triple cabin and triple+cabin" was not helpful. Are there any links to more information about these that a simple google search wouldn't turn up, my 2003 copy of Powerboat Guide does not cover it and I'm having trouble finding out more about them.

Thanks, Michael

Engine room in tri cabin is under the lower saloon, not full standing headroom. John

Is access through the saloon floor or is there a crawl way? Is the genset in the usual place under the kitchen?

Yes, yes and no.

Thanks. The nearest one for sale for us to look at is up in the Seattle area and we are in Los Angeles. What's under the kitchen floor on these? My wife likes the idea of the lower saloon, I like the idea of a dedicated area to drive the boat on the main deck and we both like the versatility of the aft deck. But she's concerned about getting off the boat and onto the dock when line handling w/o a cockpit and I am wondering how the engine room works out in practice with low headroom. Is there space down there for things like water makers, inverter banks, upgraded a/c etc. as well as routine maintenance?

What about the 58 Yachtfisherman? If you like the galley down, walk in engine rooms and are worried about aft deck access for docking - they solve all of those problems. I am partial tho !
