I have been in the market looking for a boat to travel around the world on. I found an older boat i had liked but something in my gut says stay away so im going to. I recently looked into new boats and im considering either a catalina 445 or the 470. I will be living aboard with my girl friend soon to be fiance and my best friend will be traveling with us. Does anybody have any thoughts, ideas or suggestions on any other boats to consider; or are these two the best. All the research i have done says both are great boats.
Note the vote for Valiant and PSC so gonna put in a strong vote for an Outbound 46 or if you are flush a 52. They made 53 of the 46 hulls so far and all are still floating(grin). All are being used or have been used as blue water passage makers. For present we are using ours as a part time live aboard but hopefully soon will spit up the anchor. Given the quality the price is quite moderate and the after delivery service excellent. Beyond the basics you can customized it any where you wish.
