First of all, what style would you choose.......cruiser, motor yacht,
pilot
house, trawler, convertible, tug, catamaran, sailboat or other?

Now what specific make and model?


50-feet? Somebody else's money?
I've always been partial to these:

There's one for sale at my marina. Been drooling over it for a couple of
months. 50 footer, with stabilizers. Awesome.

Go with the Bertram. Their engineering and construction quality is
the best I've seen.

Bring money.

Anybody know about these boats? I saw one this weekend tied up to a dock in

It might be a fine boat but for my money I'd want something with a
stronger (and longer) track record.

Bertram, Viking, Hatteras, Cabo...

There are lots of nice ones around for that kind of $$$s.
