I will likely hear flak from this posting but I''ll do it anyway. Keep in mind opinions are like bellybuttons everyone has one. I have sailed center and aft cockpit boats with just my wife and I,We both feel more comfortable in a aft cockpit boat when docking or putting the boat in a slip. Keep in mind when you or your spouse/whatever,are at the helm of a center cockpit boat and your trying to tie it up in a breeze its tough to leave the controls and help out when your fifteen feet from either end. Otherwise cp''s are great keep you dryier,and generally give better visibility when handling under sail/power. Good luck in your search, and try some boats on for size before you buy.
