I'm shopping for a late model Aft Cabin Motor Yacht around the 32 - 36 foot
range.
I was really intertested in the Silverton 322, which was made
from 1998 - 2001.
A Silverton dealer told me that particular model was really bad in beam
seas, (very prone to rocking badly), most
probably due to all the extra weight at top. He even mentioned a lawsuit in
which a child
fell from the top area of the boat.
The boat is just about 20,000 lbs. dry.
Has anyone had any experience with this model?
My wife and kids get a little nervous when on a boat, so I'm being extra
cautious
with my research.
In addition, I'm also looking at the late model Carver 326 Aft Cabin, the
Mariner, and
the Santego.
I know the Express Cruisers would be alot more stable, however I like the
extra room and
openess of the Aft Cabins, and the sedan type boats.
I'd appreciate any thoughts on this.
Thanks.
Lou on LI.
