Wow, never thought of taking the GF to the boat show before deciding if we were compatible! Glad she is over her Catalina envy. The price difference is huge, but for most people that is the deciding factor. Unless I hit the lottery I'll never own a new boat because I rather have a used Sabre or Tartan/C&C than a new Bennie of the same size for the same price.
