Why are yous et on those two boats? They are quite different, so I'm a
bit surprised your'e down to these two finalists. IMHO, a collision
bulkhead, while nice, should not be at the top of the consideration
list. A collision that would damage your hull to the extent of
flooding the boat is not very likely, compared to some events that the
stability and seaworthiness of the boat have more of an effect on.
Especially considering what the outcome of a collision is, bulkhead or
not. Do you also assume that the colision will be in such a location
taht the balast will be worth the other risks?

What attracts you to these two boats?
