Ken, I too just came over to the dark side and have never been mored pleased that I did. I still have my sail boat but I am very pleased with the room and comfort of my 47' Atlantic trawler. My suggestion is to buy what you like and as big as possible. My boat has a fly bridge and it is the best seat in town. I also have the lower helm but will probably never use it. My thought is to move when I want and under the best weather conditions even thought my fly bridge is completely closed in. I do agree, you should try different styles to see what pleases you best. At first, the wife and I wanted an open rear area to enjoy being outside, we found our boat which had a closed-in sun room and we love it. So, start with an open mind, look long and hard, buy big and understand, you will live in it like a home one day.
