We are looking at the aft cockpit version. I loved the layout and interior quality of the one we looked at this spring. The boat was sold when we looked at it. We were with a broker just looking to see what $125,000 would buy. It was the first boat he showed us. We did not like the couple of CC boats. We didn't like how it split up the interior. They also seemed to be smaller cockpits for the size of boat. The Tayana sure had some nice wood work and some good use of space. I'm not sure I like the stern design. The Canoe shape is so abrupt vs what seems to be a more rounded stern on the Valiant. I'm curious as to what effect this type of stern has on boat handling vs a beamier stern or squared off if you will?
This T42 I will look at next week has seen one owner and is a fresh water boat. Could be appealing, use, wear and up keep wise.
Cam, good luck with your new adventures with the RV. Have you sold your T52 yet?
