Here's my 61lb heeler in the Shearwater last weekend, he likes to be in front of me or he scoots himself half under the thwart

@Chip I initially did not ever consider this as an option because that's what I expected but after hearing some people say the passenger...

I drove one for quite few years. With all the rear seats removed there was plenty of room for a cot and all my gear. I lived out of it...
