Which 10m boat?

[TJordan952]

I had a Monterey bow rider speedboat in Spain and had loads of fun, but am getting a little old now so looking for something a little more comfortable and with a bit more luxury! I have a 10metre mooring which I'd like to keep. So what's the best 10 metre motor boat I could buy? For the Med, up and down the coast, maybe the occasional night on board, but mostly sunbathing, eating, swimming and lazing about on board.
Cost isn’t really too much of an issue, but I’d really appreciate any suggestions of models I should be looking at. Thanks.

there is a Newish Cranchi overnighter that should suit nice lines.

If Price is not an issue and you are mainly after a day-boat with a bit of luxury. Corsair 34 | Chris-Craft Boats - also one size smaller if it has to be below 10 meters.

Chris craft are sold in Palma I believe by Ben or a Windy of course.

Beautiful boat, but not quite right. Looking for more of a family boat now rather than fully open almost speedboat.

Obviously only you know what you want/need. But in the 10 meter range the open boats (obviously) offers a lot more outdoor space - but in addition - compared to your small bow rider also a decent cabin, toilet, some usable - but obviously limited -cooking / coffee making facilities, etc so for Med use and if your scenario is mainly day trips for swimming and fun on the water in good weather - I would still encourage you to take a closer look and consider what space on the boat you will actually need or use. While the suggested boats on pictures look like a small open speedboat due to the size they are a bit more versatile. The suggested windy range will in my opinion also have quite a bit better sea keeping behaviour than eg the Sealine. A closed cabin boat limited to 10 meters in length will inherently involve a very big Compromise between indoor and outdoor space. For use in Northern Europe and colder climate I would go with the closed boat similar in style to the Sealine you prefer any time - as the ability to move inside and close up in the cool evening or when the weather turns bad is worth the compromise. But for Med use I would recommend you consider carefully if the outdoor space on that type of boat (again when you are limited to 10 meter total length) leaves sufficient outdoor sun lounging/swimming/lunch outside/ etc room for the size of family + possible guests you have in mind.

Anyhow - here is another idea and it comes both in an open or closed coupe version so you have the choice. And in my opinion it looks quite a bit sharper than the average motor boat of this size - and even the closed version opens up quite a bit so might be a compromise.

How about a Rodman around9.6 m ?
or an older Bav mobo around the 10.8m level for around the 90k mark depending on year.
