Well I have just experienced the first part of " the two greatest days of a yachtsmen". I have sold my boat, a 36 ft Searay and now on the hunt for a 40-44 ft trawler-ish boat.
So I joined this group for some collective wisdom ( thanks in advance)
Two of the boats I am considering are the CHB Ponderosa 42 or 44 cockpit model. Also the President 41 Sundeck .
Any opinions on these hulls would be great, handling in a seaway, build quality, known problems. Etc. My budget is around 90,000 or so and I realize there is always things to fix or update. I am familiar with the mechanicals so not so worried about that end.
We do like the Sundeck type of boats for the extra room but if the right tricabin came up, would look there as well.
Cheers,
Gary
