suggestions for FB boat

[tabasco]

Have decided to move from express to flybridge. Looking at 38-43? ft. Fish 80%, cruise 20%. Put about 250hrs/year on boat. So far possibilities are 38'Henriques FB, 43'Ocean (2002 or newer), ?riviera-never been on one so don't know. Any other ideas? Want to keep it fairly new (2000 and up) and need range to fish out 80nm at least. Like the ease of working on my henriques and how solid she's been so those things are high on my list.

If you're willing to spend the money I think Liberty makes a sick boat.

What size Henriques do you have now? I am shopping for one. Post specs.

Any interest in a 2004 42C Silverton?

I think it has to do with the weight? What a bear to fish 80+ miles off in one. Thats what I had a chance to do yesterday on a friends. A great riding boat 30knt cruise with 6 cyl manns.Beautifull interior and big bridge for a 42.
