How about a new boat vs a 25 year old boat? or something like that?

Any Beneteau ever made is of higher quality, and more seaworthy than Bobby
Sue's
boat.

Since you also own a C&C, that must put our boats pretty low down!
Why not pose the Beneteau vs. C&C discussion on the list? I bet you'll get
some
imformed answers. Many of the people there really know boats and won't be
biased.

No new Beneteau, Catalina or hunter is as well built as most Pearson's, C&Cs,
Tartans or Cape Dory's.
Ask any surveyor who knows sailboats.

I didn't mention a name, just an age. Old is old, New is new. Some people
prefer new to old and used. I just was wondering why I don't need to have a
new boat surveyed for the bank but do have to have a used boat surveyed?

A fellow bought a new Beneteau 39 at my yard. He had to have it surveyed for
insurance.

BoatUS and Chubb (among other insurers) will and routinely do insure a
new Beneteau (and, for that matter, most other good-quality new boats)
without a survey

Honestly, Bob, sometimes you are such an idiot.

Again, ask anyone who repairs or survey's boats how Beneteau stacks up. Maybe
everyone lies to Donal, or just maybe he read the rave reviews in cruising
world, but never spoke to surveyors. Few people do homework before buying a
boat. If they did Beneteau would have to improve their game.

Maybe the Beneteau built in Europe are a tad better than the ones built in the SE USA.
Remember, Neal once worked for another SE builder, Irwin. Probably much the same
workforce.

We can only hope. But Donal already admitted to using tape to make his floors
fit. Sounds like the same old Beneteau.

Bob, could you post a link to where I said that I used tape?
