Hi everyone,
My wife and I have been looking at 3800’s and 38 Opens. This is to be our retirement boat, spending a couple of weeks at a time on it in South Florida and in the Bahamas.
I originally thought the 38 was perfect, but I’m starting to think extra room is probably a plus. Besides it being more money to operate and maintain, are there any other negatives to a 4200 or 4300? Purchase costs don’t seem to be a whole lot different.
Thanks,
Chuck
