10m Sports cruisers

[Relayer]

Evening All
After renting boats for a while on the Norfolk Broads and a few trips out on holiday in the Med I'm now in the market for my very own 10m (ish) Sports cruiser. She would be moored on the Broads but after suitable training intension is to do some coastal cruising and maybe further afield. I have a max budget of 70k but would love to spend less if at all possible. Onboard would be myself, my good lady and possibly the dog. Occasional overnights guests. I like the look of the Doral Intrigue...... what are peoples thoughts and what are the alternatives?

Many thanks.

Avoid the one that hit the IoW ferry is all I'll say

Sealine S34 are good option.

Plenty of Brooms around there though not regarded as sports cruisers however they do have accomodation

I’d give a second vote for the S34. Excellent spacious boat and you should find several within your budget. Don’t be tempted by the electronic KAD44 engine. 20 yr old electronics would worry me. KAD 32, KAD43 fine.

+1 for the Sealine S34.

Recently sold ours but would say that they are one of the best mid-30 feet sports cruisers from an all round perspective. Not the fastest or the best seakeeping but perfectly okay on both those fronts and have great accommodation and storage. Used ours on the Broads and at sea and loved it. It was our fifth boat so we have some comparators.

Prestige 34? nice cockpit layouts & benefit from a HT. Or the cranchi zaffiro 34 is a nice boat. Personally I’d go for the cranchi out of the 2.

Thanks All. A few options I hadn't considered. The search continues.
