My view, as a 3600 sovran owner:
1. I think the Open is a MUCH prettier boat and it rides better in the nasty stuff.
2. The open has the ability to get more airflow into the helm when sitting on a hook
3. Despite all of that, we went Sovran because its still a damn good ride and, while it is "wetter" it is totally irrelevant to me as I just turn on the windshield wipers when its snotty. Fully enclosed helm; simply close up the windshield vent and boom -- who cares.
4. Trunk cant be over stated; its amazing for storing everything. And then the interior is amazing.
5. I have cummins 480CE; love the engines.
"real" boaters like the Open. Ive got about 10k miles of offshore sailboat racing experience; another 5k of cruising .... and I prefer the Sovran.
