How can you possibly be choosing between a Tayana and a Beneteau? The
automibile equivalent is, do you want to buy a mini-van or a sports car? You need to figure out what you are really going to do with the boat. Buy the Tayana if you're really going offshore cruising. It will probably have all the equipment you need, is built extremely well, but will be slower in light air. It's made to be able to withstand a good blow. Buy a Bendy Toy if you're going to get into racing and do local cruising. The Beneteau will be way better in light air, more responsive steering, and generally go faster. (Less motoring during light air days). There are tons of used fiberglass boats, you are in the driver's seat. Don't let any broker tell you that you need to make an offer or you could "Lose the boat " I have worked in a yachtbrokerage, so believe me, there are more boats for sale than there are buyers. Now I work in yacht insurance. BucBook is the guide that lists replacment cost (new) & used prices for modern production vessels. ~ Sailor |
