I am at Trawlerfest and am trying to make a decision as to these to boats and I KNOW there will be people here that can contribute and help guide me to a decision. This is a lot of money. I am a neophyte to this hobby/life. I am 72 and feel the need to move at a faster pace if I am to do this cruising thing. My mission is to go with my dog and me for now and to have a boat that would still give 2 people the space to not always be all over each other. I will have very little in the world of visiting guests and children on the boat. I intend to do mainly the Carribean as far south as the ABC's. Here are my current thoughts please help me.
The anchor locker in the N47 is cavernous, but there doesn't seem to be a ladder in it as there is in the KK48, why and how do you access and egress? I am also curious as to why in the aft end of the ER (N47) PAE put the ends of the lockdowns protruding into the space at the smallest vertical dimension.These dove into my back today as this is somewhat tight vertically. I am trying to make a nonemotional comparison of the two boats and I would very much appreciate the knowledgable people here helping me with the evaluation. I see the N47 to be better at actively cruising (moving) and then the KK has the potential to be better at rest, mainly in the ergonomics of the salon/galley. I hope this isn't a faux pax for this site. Thanking you for your help in advance.
