Which brand to buy 2 Years, 5 Months ago Karma: 0  










I’m considering buying a Holiday Mansion,
Nautiline, Gibbie, etc. with the idea of Doin the Ditch at some point. Being a former cruiser guy (Trojan F32), I
don’t know much about this class of boat.
Any info on the following would be a great help. BTW – I’m 6’4” tall, so legroom and headroom
are important. That said – short of the
QE2, I’ll never have enough of either.







Maneuvering with one screw vs two?



Gas consumption



Hull
blistering issues



Hull
height issues with wake



What’s good



What’s not so good



Are there better years for a brand?







Thx in advance for any info

You should also consider Harbor Master, Kings Craft or Pluckebaum

Have owned KingsCraft and Pluckebaum, worked on Harbormaster. All are premium boats. KC and Pluck are aluminum. Aluminum boats are foreverand worth the premium. Pluckebaum head and shoulders above anything out there.
