I'm not as agile as I used to be and the cabin in the Potter wasn't really usable. Also if you sail with anyone else, 2 is about max for the Potter. I've had 4 comfortably in the Scamp. There is no cabin but the stability, cockpit room, and lack of stays makes for a more useful boat for me. I too want to sail camp along the Gulf Coast and I'm trying to figure out a boom tent or other solution to keep out of the weather in the evenings.

Many SCAMPers, is that a word, will put slats between the cockpit seats to create one huge sleeping surface. You could probably fit a queen sized inflatable bed if you had the desire. My wife will definitely not be sleeping aboard so I'm planning on a nice sleeping bag/pad on the floor.
