Wondering if those with one of these could give some general impressions.
Coming from a sailing cat, can't do that anymore. But am looking for a boat that can faster than 8kts if needed. I would like something that if I want to do 50mi I can get there at lunch, not dinner. The ST44 hits that.
Q1. Would you buy this boat again? That says alot.
Q2. I had a Bene sailboat, and Lagoon, so I know the family. But I know nothing about their powerboats. I always thought that if you compared to the GM Chevy/Olds/Caddy , the Benes were the olds. Upscale, but not top of the line.
Q3. Anything I should be looking for in those years?
Q4. Anything I should know about in general?
Q5. Dealer is pushing the new 41, I like the galley placement better, but there are a few used boats in the 400hr range, which I assume is close to new like that are about 20% less than new. Does the 41 have anything else major in the running of the boat over the 44?
Thanks!
