I totally understand the mixed emotions of selling the beautiful boat you had. In the long run I think you'll be a lot happier with the added room of an Eluder or any of the newer BR's for that matter. Best of luck in your search. :thumb: Jim

Well I wish I could afford something newer like that but not for a long time.

I really enjoyed the boat and it was beautiful but putting things and getting things out from under the bow was a pain in the butt. Plus it was easy to be cramped for room with more than 2 people. My girlfriend and her sister with the 2 kids would go and with just the 4 of us it was pretty cramped. I think just adding those front seats would make a big difference. I would like to find a eluder,diplomat or entertainer. I like the closed bow look better but gotta compromise sometimes.
 
Yep, a Diplomat would give you some more space. That's what I was originally looking for a while back until a few people on the Forum suggested the Eluder. I absolutely love mine. The Entertainer would give you the most room of the three. Good luck and be patient in our search and hopefully you'll get exactly what you're looking for. Jim
