Have you found any boats in the 42'-48' range that meet your criteria? I'm not as familiar with all the models out there as others on this site...
Had one of these come through SE Alaska this summer and tied up behind me. It was done up to mimic a navy destroyer. It was pretty cool looking...
Are you only interested in a Viking, Cabo or Riviera? Lots of other good boats out there too. How many do you need to sleep aboard and...
