Hi everyone,
First time poster here. We have recently sold our boat which we keep in Palma (Bavaria Sport 32) and are now looking for something bigger to keep in the same area.
Budget is circa £130,000-£140,000 so obviously looking at older options.
We viewed a Sea Ray Sundancer 460 and a Cranchi Atlantique 40 fly. Obviously totally different boats, but shows you how open minded we are.
Requirements are:
Good size master cabin, ideally with en suite.
Second heads for day use and guests.
Air con.
Large garage, or good size swim platform for tender (Seadoo Spark) with hydraulic pasarrelle to act as lift.
Our boating tends to be day trips around the Island, but with out next boat we plan to visit Menorca, Ibiza etc.
We live on the boat when out there, and stay on board for around a week per month from March to September.
The Sea Ray seemed nice, but I don't know much about them. It is a 2001 with Cummins 446hp engines.
The Cranchi was 2006 with D6 engines. I am unsure if this may be underpowered when fully loaded.
Any views on these models would be gratefully received, escpecially how the Cranchi handles at sea and how stable she is at anchor.
Many thanks for taking the time to read this post, and I look forward to feedback and other models to consider. Love the Absolute 45 but don't think the garage will hold the tender we want, nor is the platform big enough.
