Seriously, best is so subjective that it's all down to personal taste and priorities.
If you want space and quirky design then go for a Sealine.
If you want quality then buy a Princess or Fairline.
If you want to impress your mates then by a Sunseeker.

That's pretty much the cut off size for 2 cabins or 3 cabins so you really need to decide if you need 3 or not.

Have a look at a Rodman 41. Well put together and three cabins too.
However the Fairline Phantom 43 or 46 is a lot prettier.

If you are judging on space, looks, build quality and sea keeping then it has to be. . .

I'd have a look at Azimut's 42 and 46 too if you want something stylish and well made.

I know someone in Spain that has a very good condition Azimut 42 that he would like to sell, he contacted me very recently.
PM me if you want his email address - he use to be berthed in our marina: Sant Carles de la Rapita but is now much further down the coast, they have a villa and are of an age where they want to sell her, always kept in very good condition...!

this gets my vote.
(sealine T46. They only built 33 so not a popular vote.
but…. 3 en suite cabins, 2 with island doubles. Plus a double in the saloon. Works for me. )

SEALINE F43
I have to say, I really liked my 2001 Sealine F43, very spacious, great aft cabin with separate head and showers, also good separation when guests on board, using the forward bow cabin and they could use combined head/shower, great seakeeping boat. Engine room access tight unless you lift the floor and climbing over the back a bit of a pain but you get use to that.
PRINCESS 45
I do like my current 2002 Princess 45, easy to get on, decent access to engine room and a great boat. Probably the P45 has it for me, but F43, Azi-42 etc., all very nice boats...!
