Hi all. My wife and I recently purchased a 2001 43 Open. This is our first open style boat as well as a boat manufactured by Tiara. Having owned and operated several Bertram Convertibles I have to say we are very happy with the move. Bertram's are great boats and have always treated us well but the quality, layout and finishing details in this Tiara are outstanding. As of yet we haven't put the Tiara into a really heavy seaway but so far the ride has been outstanding.
We boat primarily in the Great Lakes/Lake Michigan and in fact are about 10 miles from Tiara's factory. Given our extended winter layup periods up here I have plenty of time for projects so I expect to have lot's of questions for all of you who know these boats. Looking forward to sharing some stories and gaining advice from the experts out there.
