Damm I'm on a Dehler pimping kick today, anyways, both look like great boats, in addition I would consider the new Dehler 44, a new design by SV, designated as a 'sport cruiser' or 'regatta cruiser', and as Dehler is a semi-custom builder, they have options from 'more cruise' to 'more race'. Check out the PDF: http://www.dehler.us/materials/broch...ochure-d44.pdf

PM me if you want any further info.

X of course...

No discussion here. Deheler is very very good too, but not that good, not to X level anyway (take my word for it, I know). Still a very good boat. Deutsche made, real Deutsche, not like Bavarias, "almost Deutsche" made.

By the way, we make a joke about Bavarias, at home, we say they must be made near the French border of Germany......get it??

Actually...if the Bavarias were made as well as the French boats...maybe the keels wouldn't fall off!

Cam, don't want to make that "some French" boats??

You know what's funny?? I never met a Bavaria dealer that doesn't deny that... denial??
