I think you'll be one more of many dozens of very happy Beneteau Swift Trawler owners. While I said not my choice before knowing you'd already purchased one and in response to the original OP, I think now knowing you're purchasing one some of the posts have been a bit disrespectful of you, unintentionally, in disrespecting the boat. It's like most brands, there are those who love it and those who don't. Just don't let the negative comments discourage you. Everyone I've talked to who actually owned one has liked it. Many have repurchased larger models. They are what they are and fill a niche and is largely ignored otherwise.

You clearly have done your homework, just enjoy.

I do agree with you regarding mass producers as well. Forgetting Beneteau for a second, Bayliner has endured the test of time. Sea Ray builds excellent boats. Meanwhile there are some low volume producers building junk. Nothing inherently negative about mass producers.
