Structural or complex improvements	Best most used improvement is releasable safety lines so you can gracefully and safely get on and off the boat.

Liveability	Home away from home. Really enjoy spending a few days living aboard. A small microwave is great when docked (cooking without heating up the cabin). Boat is very comfortable and easy to heat in cooler weather. I really enjoy winter sailing when I am the only boat on the lake.
