Thank you Ben. The Miami show was a nice time except for the awful traffic. It did help us in our focus on next boat. My wife really likes the layout of the F44, she likes a salon with big windows, open access, aft galley, and the option of no lower station. The build quality of the Tiara seems very good. My only concern with this boat if the limited engine choices. We do not want an IPS boat leaving the only engine option is Cummins 550,s which seems a bit underpowered. When I calculate loading this boat with fuel, water, people, and all the "required gear" that gets loaded aboard, this is just not enough engine.

That leaves us investigating the new Viking 44. Similar size, but can be ordered with various engines choices up to twin 1000's (2000HP), almost double. Wife does not like the layout as much but a underpowered boat will be very frustrating. Is it possible to get additional engine choices in the F44, we were told no at the show but still hopeful.

We also liked a Maritimo model 48, nice boat

Thank you.
