But weed out the ones that don't have:

an aft cabin
swim platform
PHRF less than 140
cruising accomodations

accomodations per foot.



Malarkey. Want me to publish the list again?

Doug, you are a LIAR.

No, I'm not. Just Google it up.

... You NEVER posted a list (outside of a few
examples) that can do what the 35s5 does at her size and price...not
even close. Only the C&C 34XL CB is a true contender.

That's because you don't know beans about boats.

Starting with a list from my database of 475 racer/cruiser
type boats between 34' and 38', the Ben 35s5 was #191 for
speed. Going down the list we find a lot more with lower
PHRF ratings, so we end up with 268 boats comparable or
faster than the Ben-35s5.

Then we sort for draft, which important in a boat's
practical use. I like shallow draft myself. Unfortunately it
rules out some really nice boats that Boobsie never heard
of, like the Finngulf, Najad, CS-36, Grand Soleil, etc etc.
Now we're down to 171 boats, some of them custom designs.

Which of these boats have swim platforms? Any of them could
have, with about a weekend's worth of skilled labor (which
of course Boobsie can't supply). Many of them have open
transoms. Aft cabins? Most of them have something
comparable, and I have no way of guessing, other than to
remove boats which I know don't have one. Price? Shucks it'a
a buyers market. Besides, Boobsie is always bragging about
how rich he is. I did take off a few really high priced
boats like the Alerion Express 38 and the Morris 38.

BTW this turns out to be about 150 boats
