Help Me Decide -- 29 Open vs. 29 Coronet

[dbriceno]

Realize both boats are about 34 feet LOA including the swim platform & bow pulpit. I recently sold my 29 Coronet and purchased a 32 Open which is 37 feet LOA. Most Coronets will lack a generator, A/C & hot water where you can get all of that in the Open. But, then you give up all the seating in the cockpit. It's personal preference. Looking at the two boats, I'd be leaning towards the Open. Save the 30K. It's in great shape and the extra hours should be trivial. Both should have new manifolds already. If not, they need them.
