Default Should I buy a Tayana, Beneteau, Hunter or something else ?

Tayanas are proper cruisers, but old-fashioned and heavy.
Probably the best choice in your odd list, but that depends
very much on age, condition, etc.


Thank you very much rhys.

The Tayana I like is the Vancouver 460 Pilot. Should I be
concerned about this boat's higher center of gravity or low
ballast/displacement ratio of 0.238 or do you think this isn't
a problem since the ballast is at the bottom of the keel ?

They've only built 7 of them starting in 2001 so the age
shouldn't be a problem. Or maybe I should buy a new one
since the asking price for a new one is $36,500 less than
the asking price for hull #1.

I think other Tayana models with 3 staterooms are larger
and more expensive unless they're more than 10 years old.
