There's dry storage under the bunks and a Porta Potti style loo that should keep the females on board happy. A hatch in the forward cabin bulkhead opens for access to the windlass and anchor locker. I like to leave this open when dropping, or weighing anchor, just to keep an eye on the state of play until either operation is complete.
THE WRAP
The Theodore 720 Coastal is one hell of a boat and I'd take one just about anywhere. She's roomy from a fishing perspective, slices through rough water like a hot knife through butter and delivers a dry ride in all conditions. Let me rephrase that; because this particular Coastal 720 doesn't have a bimini, if it rains you're going to get wet. A bimini, hard-top and enclosed cockpit are available as optional extras.
Prices for a Theodore 720 Coastal start at $135,000 for a 'built to survey', 8.04m (LOA) boat. This heavily optioned test boat came in at $150,000 on a custom-built, Mackay roller trailer. The only downside... you need a big 4WD to tow her.
