Sealine F33 V F34

[DavidJ]

I just think that the F33/F34 would be "false economy".

Not too much logic to it but when we bought our S37 (new, a long long time ago) I looked at the S34 and just knew that if I bought it I would wish I had stepped up. Somehow the S42/43 size felt a different category of boat which wasn’t for us.

S34 is a very good boat. s37 (i had one) is a nice upgrade but only incrementally better.
F33 is a flawed boat F36 is transformationally better.

I’ve sold an F34 & Prestige 32, both had pros & cons but overall I preferred the F34. Not too sure if this was standard or optional when new but the F34 had the extended cockpit system which was a nice touch, believe the boat ended up at 37 ish ft when extended. Another neat feature I found was under the over hang of the flybridge, there was a large ”drop down” storage section where you could stash the cockpit covers if you wanted to take them off.

I preferred the flybridge layout of the prestige 32 as it looked a lot more sociable than the F34’s but I didnt like how one side deck on the prestige was wider than the other one which is pretty popular theme for Jeanneaus.

have you thought about the 350 sealine did? Slightly smaller than the F37 & on Shafts (KAMD42’s). There pretty rare on the market but a good option I think.

Yep. Shows what a lovely boat it is in harbour or on a flat sea. If that’s your use you will have loads of space and will enjoy your boat.

But the boat is deeply flawed in a quartering sea.

The thread has talked about an S34 and S37. An F33 and F36. I have been to sea in all of them and have owned an S37. I’m not making this up.
