About to buy

[McBoat]

After about 6 years of perusing and thinking about a boat, retirement at the end of last year has given me the time to justify the purchase.
I'm limited to drystack due to 2-3 year waiting lists for water based mooring, so am looking at cruisers from Parker, Finnmaster and Yamarin. Looking at about 8m. Any input would be appreciated.

First thing, what's your budget?

Looking up to 130k. I am looking at used as opposed new

Have a look at the Jeanneau Merry Fisher 795, which would easily meet your budget and length requirement, such as:-

I have a Yamarin 59HT, no doubt smaller than you are looking at, but a cracking boat. Great build quality, very well thought out and comfortable and nice to use. a Great hull too, will take rough seas with ease. Finnish boat builders at their best.

You could go up a metre and still be comfortably within price and (probably) dry stack size limits. We keep a 9m boat on a dry stack and it works well for us. Totally agree with AllanG re looking at the Merry Fishers, but Beneteau and Quicksilver do similar offerings also.
