The 5800 has a 17'+ beam, so this may be a different creature entirely. I think our experience looking at the larger Tollys is that the lack of exterior walk-around was a little uncomfortable for us. Yes, we enjoyed the larger interior space, but we also want to be able to get around the exterior of the boat for ease of docking, dropping fenders, etc.
Man, this is a hard decision.

Yeah I get it. The no walk around hasn’t been really a big deal. We just drop one from the fly bridge and the rest you have easy access to. Tolly does have 57’s with walk arounds as well. Couple on yacht world

Yes - Navigator has a 15' beam all the way between their 42' and 56' boats. The 58' is when they step up to a larger everything, beam , weight, draft, engines etc.
Much different boat than their 56'.

We have been living aboard 8 years now on our 58 ft Vantare and love it. We left San Francisco in 2015 have have cruised full time ever since. The last three years have been in Mexico. Our boat is a wide body, which I wouldn’t change. In order to have the walk around sides, you give up 3 ft of interior width. No thank you.i live aboard every day, three times a year the walk around would be nice.

An older model that conceptually attracts me is the Hatteras 58' yachtfisher. I'm a bit put off by the older 32V systems and the ladder (instead of stairs) to the flybridge, but those might not be concerns for everyone...

We sold our house and bought a boat for our family of 4. We looked for 18 months and it ended w an 82 - 44ft Island Gypsy. It's been great so far! 3 Staterooms and a layout that works good for us. 3 Staterooms really limited our options so it took awhile. We also considered some 2 Staterooms w Pilot house that could be used for a kids room. The Grand banks motor yacht was another nice 3 Stateroom
