Looking for new boat

Post by crewedattempt »

Current owner of F31 OUTTA CONTROL - really love the layout, with a lower helm, open cockpit, and flybridge.

Wife agrees we should get something bigger, but with diesels and radar; she loves to entertain on the boat and wants the new boat to have a lower helm.

Have seen F36's with lower helm, but gas engines; also have looked at F44's.

Anyone have any other thoughts on good models and model years that would have what we're looking for?

Thanks!

Sounds like you want my boat . :D I am a big fan of diesels but looking at your other posts you averaged 50 hours a year ( that pretty normal ) Do you need diesels ? when gas will do ? I am just asking and for my self its diesel only .

As far as radar if the boat your looking at is lacking radar you can always add it

Thanks - with the diesels, it's not so much the hours as just the overall quietness...are you selling your boat? :)
