Which 50ft boat would you buy?

[Whitelighter]

I really like it - had a good look over it on Tuesday and a bit more today.
Feels like a much bigger boat - galley is huge though it dies sacrifice the breakfast dinette we use and enjoy on the Ferretti.
Fly bridge is good with very deep back rests for all the seats - though the lift up windscreen for the helm is super nasty and suggests they have not got the main wind deflection right.
Crew cabin is a good size though access is shite - accessed by the bathing platform and the big door is hinged on the bottom. The opening is very tight and creates more than a bit of a trip hazard and pretty much rules it out for occasional use by kids.
I actually liked the folding helm seat - frees up quite a bit of dead space in the saloon for parties etc.

Finish was very good but then it should be for the money.

This was my point they are not helping themselves, when I enquirerd no salesman actually knew what they had or how much, then a bun fight between salesman to see who would get the commission ensued which was quite amusing. It is a lovely boat and I know it's new but sort it out ?

Well been to SIBS last 2 days and I can only say WOW.
the Man 52 was superb in all respects, I was so impressed with pretty much everything, the only change is the BBQ at the stern can’t see that working for me but everything else was great.
Look at all the major competitors and had always been a Princess fan of new boats but I think SS have stole the lead now and with the new 66 expected soon with similar layout should be another clear winner.

I thought the man 52 was ok, but nothing more than ok.

It is over 17m so from the initial comparison is one of the larger boats. For that length of boat I prefer the ferretti 550. Can't remember how the princess 52 compares to it.
