I just purchased my Princess 36' about a week ago and so far its great. I bought the boat in san diego and sailed it to its new home in Morro Bay, CA. We left san diego in 9 to 10 foot swells which it cut through with no problem.

the price you can get the boat for right now is great, and since its a buyers market, offer low and they will accept.

the boat is a little slow, and most have problems with factory fuel tanks. mine had a leak so the previous owners replaced the 40 gal tank with an 18 gallon tank.

i have plenty more information if youd like it and you can see more at my website sail3sheets.com

I can't say that I have significant experience directly with the boat, but I've known several fulltime cruisers in the SE US-Bahamas-Caribbean who are Allied Princess or Mistress owners that are very pleased with their vessels. There is some merit in judging a boat by the character of the owners. 'take care and joy, Aythya crew
