Don't remember any Mainships at the Annapolis brokerage area over the last several years, though (for example).

Agreed, my point was if the OP hasn't been on a variety of
others it might be worthwhile.
If just to be able to walk in, sit in, move around on, both above deck and in the cabin and engine spaces. Get a feel for several boats in succession as a way to do 'live comparisons'.
That and meet a few brokers. Regardless of the boats they're selling at a show (or at that time) you can hire one to act on your own behalf for boats being sold by others. Given how infrequently
most folks purchase boats it's often helpful to have a broker wade through the issues that come up during the boat search and purchase process.
