The 56’ Hatt has a 18’ beam, vs the 53/54’ that have a 15.5 ish beam.
Live ability on the Hatt is waaaaaaaaaay better than the Sea Ray. I’ve been to the Bahamas on the sea ray 550 and it’s nice, for a long weekend or week. But full time, not for us.
The reason we like the 61 over the 63 (same as the 56 vs 58), silly as it is, is the center opening twin doors from the salon to the aft deck, vs the single side door on the 58/63’. Either the 56/61or the 58/63 are awesome live aboard boats.
Now, if it weren’t for the difficulty of the 😷😷😷😷😷😷😩😩😩😩😩!
Good luck with your search. Ultimately, you’re going to have to get on as many of each to see which really fits your needs.
Ps; the 250K range will keep you in an ‘80s Hatt, 56’ range.
