geez this is confusing! :) Im having a heck of a time finding any other boats like ours (I'm not looking to buy, I just want to compare interiors & specs).

We love the layout of the boat - it is perfect for our rainy climate with lots of interior space. Its considerably smaller than my parent's 48' Tollycraft, but it works for us!

Hmm - that 1982 is interesting. It holds more water & fuel than ours, and it says the salon sleeps 4. Not in ours! My husband and I take up the whole dinette/bed so maybe 4 kids? The v-berth is the same though.

I don't know if having a rare boat is a good thing or a bad thing. So far its ok :)

Remeber brokers stretch the truth at times or don't have a clue what they put in a ad. If the owner tells the broker his 40 footer burns 6 GPH at 40knots he will put it in the ad.
