I believe the position of the consoles is the same on all three boats. Hull is the same. The wide gunnels on the Dominator consume some of the effective interior space. So most cockpit area would be a tie between the Navigator and Competitor.

Someone please correct me if this is not the case.

Which size 165, 175 or 185? floor space is going to go to the Dominator with the wider gunnels and no walk on side storage. The Competitor and the Navigator should be about the same, they just have different interior features and storage layouts. Bow is the same on all of them.

Edit....initial comments would only apply to the 175's and 185's. The 165 Competitor has a unique hull, and a narrower beam. However, it also does away with the side storage, so the interior does not feel much smaller (if any) than the wider Navigator or Dominator 165's.

Also, 1860 Angler has a good point. Depending on where you measure, the 175/185 Dominators may actually be wider than the other two models. To me, the Dominator feels narrower, but the total cockpit "volume" (length x width x height, calculated at multiple points from the floor to the top of the gunnel) might favor the Dominator?
