I was in your shoes 6 months ago. Looked at some F32s, and ended up with a Silverton 34C. I did like the F32, but the silverton had a more usable cockpit. I liked the F36s, but couldn't find one priced where I was looking.

I agree, the interior on the Trojans are classier, with lots of mahogany. The layouts are very similar. The head in the Silverton is a little larger, as is the dinette. Vberths ate on par, salons are close, and the cockpit in the 34 is a bit longer.

I think if your into the F32, there are a lot out there. On CL recently I have seen a few in the CT/MA area, asking what seams to be cheap money for them. There has to be a well priced good running one in the area!

We were looking at the F36 as well, but found we preferred the layout of the 32 - it worked better for how we intended to use the boat.

Funny thing I look at that as a plus "Hi hours + used a lot " Its the low hour ones thar scare Me boat engines die from abuse and lack of care you rarely see them wear out . Just how I look at it
