Now that we all truly know that my 35s5 is the best performance boat
here I will not rate the "looks" of everyone's boat!!!! Interiors are
also factored in.

Best looking racer/cruisers:
Beneteau 33.7 and 35s5 TIED. 33.7 has slightly more modern exterior.
35s5 has the better interior. Not many of either around so they stand
out.
Kirie Elite 32 (not terrible looking, dated interior. Rare.
Express 30: Depressingly dated design above and below deck. Most of the
bad looks are due to the boxy hard looking cabin trunk. Very rare boat,
that's easy to mistake for a C&C, though most C&Cs look better.

Best looking cruisers:
Nordica 30: She may be cheap, but she's pretty.
Gulf 29: PH boats are just too cool for school. Maybe this should be #1
Joe's Steel whatever: She may be slow and a powersailer, but she's got
character.
Bart's Boat: I forget what it is. It's a never ending project. It has
nice lines.
Siedleman 30: Better looking than Catalina and Hunter. At least there
aren't thousands passing by every hour.
Catalina 28: Like the owner, devoid of character, but not offensive.
PDQ 36: I thought this would be the winner for ugly boat, but...
Ozzy's Cat: Yep worse looking than the PDQ, especially below.

My pick for best looking boat.....

OLD THOM'S Gulf Pilot House 29

Runner ups: Nordica 30, 33.7 and 35s5

Now, that's the end of it. I don't want to hear no whining and crying!
Congrats Thom! You not only sailed longer than most folks will, but
your last boat was one of class, substance and character.

You omitted my boat, Bubbles. It's prettier than all the above.
