nice boats , helmed both, nice layout inside with loads of room, engine bay can be tight depending on engine option, handle well, does have windage like most big boats, but a popular boat , just bigger than the 42 but not as big as a 50, but feel like a 50 internally, every owner I have dealt with loved them.

So, we had a T46 for 3 yrs and we loved it.
Good points:
Two big master cabins, plus a convertible dinette and curtain, means three double beds
Great privacy due to cabins at opposite ends of the boat
No wave slapping noise at anchor in the aft master cabin
Seperate saloon and dinette, both of which seat 6
Engines further forward means weight is well balanced, and so its very tolerant of different trim angles without losing speed
Build quality suberb, nothing creaked, rattled or fell off
Fairly light for size means over 1 mpg cruising
Surprisingly capable in heavy seas
Great lower helm
Great galley
Storage everywhere
Wrap around cockpit seating very sociable
Full size domestic type shower with hinged door
High standard spec including things like teak on flybridge
Styling still loooks up to date IMO
Good resale values, sold easily
Bad points:
High windage and undersized bow thruster
No lazarette (we used aft cabin shower for storage)
No table on flybridge
Smallish saloon seating
Handling not very sporty
Really bad point:
Dreadful access to primary fuel filters, raw water strainers and seacocks. Impossible with hot engines.
On balance a fantastic boat, and if Sealine made a stylish 60 foot aft cabin flybridge we would almost certainly have bought one
