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

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

You should solicit more opinions before you buy, as Tayanas, Beneteaus
and Hunters are pretty close to opposite spectrums of the cruising
experience. Keels have little to do with that.

However, rule out Hunters. They are fine for coastal and lake work,
but are geared way more to the dock-bound, floating condo, take it out
in 10-15 knots crowd.

Beneteaus are variable in suitability depending on model, age and
purpose of voyage. Some good, others no. Not my first choice
personally for ocean work, however.

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.

Those are all very broad generalizations, but I will say that if you
expect to pick a boat based on a salesman's spiel, you've got other
issues than the composition of your keel.
