Good morning and thanks so much for the comments. There is one if the Miami area, a 2004 that looks to be in good condition. It seems to be imported as it states taxes paid, which is common in Florida but would be concerned about Tiara warranty repairs on the hull while out of country. Cruise at 27 knots is awesome for a big express style, we always felt safe in our 44 and love in New England where the weather on the open ocean can kick to 6 footers easily. I will keep you notes if we proceed and make sure the surveyor know of them.
I'd also bet if I called Tiara they would be candid about the modifications made in the newer version 05/06 model. Hate to be stuck 300 or more miles into the Bahamas and have issues there, support is just not available.
I've had them all but Cats, everything I've read are they are fantastic, easy to work on and run forever if kept up.
Will keep you apprised, if you think of anything else please let me know.
Barney
