What alternatives to Princess 38?

When looking at boats always like to look for ease of access to some very basic stuff,bilges for instance and at the finish inside of cupboards etc.Does the build quality stop on the obvious outside stuff but the hidden interior present a mass of untrimmed glassfibre mat,sharp ends of self tappers and unsanded edges of marine ply.
Did some work on a boat a while ago and the amount the swim platform flexed as you stood on it was impressive to say the least.

We looked at several boats yesterday. Removed the newer F34 and Azimut 39 so far. Convinced SWMBO that newer isn't better always, it is use and maintenance that counts. Princess 38 and Phantom 38 remain top contenders. We missed the F37 and also still want to look at F43 and Broom.

Thanks to everyone who privately suggested boats so far - very helpful.

IMHO you can't go far wrong with either off these boats - both hold there vaue well compared to others - down to personell preference - good luck and best wishes for this coming festive season :

imho Princess beter have stainless steel cockpit doors etc more vfm - look @ residual values
