If you're looking for a pretty much bullet-proof boat, how about the CSY44? I chartered one in the BVI several years back; the owner showed me a hull core from installing a new transducer, and the darn thing was over an inch of solid glass. Another owner of a charter CSY44 in Miami Beach told me about the night he was at anchorage in the Bahamas, and was T-boned by a sport boat roaring through the anchorage at high speed. Little or nothing was left of the sportboat (drunken crew suffered casualties, including one death); the CSY got away with scuffed topsides.
