I would agree with that. The Carver/Regal/Sea Ray lineup probably would not meet expectations if you had a C&C for very long. I worked on all of them and delivered some back in the day and unless they got a LOT better than they used to be, I can't see a C&Cer being happy with them. Also do not be fooled by "diesel". Sailors tend to extrapolate "lasts forever" and "sips fuel" to diesel powerboats and neither one of those things necessarily apply. Many boosted high output diesels have short lifespans and "economical" is in comparison to a pair of big block V8s. I worked on a SeaRay 55 and I had to run her hard to do some autopilot calibrations. I think I was going through 100 gallons an hour! Also the layout and décor seemed ideal for bachelor parties - cruising not so much. Heck - even the slow Grand Banks trawlers use a LOT of fuel compared to any sailboat without going much faster.
