Grand Banks vs. Monk

[bowball]

That GB 66 is really ugly.

The new Fleming 85 can be spec’d with an enclosed flybridge helm, so similar to the GB66, also converting the regular pilot house to a kitchen. Or you can spec the traditional Fleming layout with raised pilot house with open flybridge helm.

Here’s pictures of the enclosed flybridge version which is attractive, especially compared to the GB66. Setting back the flybridge makes a huge difference.

I still prefer the traditional open flybridge and that’s how I’d spec it! But these are no doubt pro captain and crew boats.

This is an old thread, alas Marin has left the forum a few years ago now. This is a pity as his posts usually resulted in some lively discussions.

I found a Monk Roughwater 42 while looking for a Grand Banks, we like the character of the Monk and are currently in negotiations and inspections for purchase..
