The engine room on the centerline of our DF44 is perhaps 5'10" forward, tapering only slightly as you move aft. Our batteries are outboard of the engines, but I haven't found a job yet I couldn't access. A lot of internal volume for a boat in this size range, plus generous room in other places that matter--the sundeck, aft cabin and flybridge are full width and larger than on any mid-40s-ft boat I've been on. An amazing architectural feat by Arthur Defever. We know a guy with a DF48 who lowered his engine room floor slightly, taking advantage of the gap between the floor supports and the curve of the bilge. He's over 6 feet and can stand straight.
There is a 1999 Defever 44 named Gondola that has just come on the market that seems especially well maintained. No affiliation whatsoever.
