Yes, I've been on a Prout Snowgoose. Yes, they can be pretty decent boats and were generally pretty well built. Yes, they have a lot more room than a 34' leadmine. As a liveaboard boat, the Snowgoose would be a lot more comfortable and a lot more liveable.
It would help if you said where you were planning to liveaboard—since you might want to have the boat on a mooring, rather than a slip.

My question is this, has anyone ever been on a prout snowgoose? are they as good as everyone claims they are? and should I go with a 22 year old boat over a 7 year old boat? The prout has way more room, but 22 year old boats for a hundred thousand dollars+ kinda scares me...  |

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
