so, there I am, minding my own business and cleaning my 2012, 310 that we just purchased, less than 6 months ago, when my broker approached me and said he has a fantastic 2008, 38 footer that he wants to put me into.
We hinted that our 310 was the smaller boat in the marina, but...wasn't ready to move up in size so soon.
So, the 38 is clean and looks enticing, but in the end, wife says she is just fine with the newer, smaller boat. We typically don't entertain or have people on our boat so needing the additional space is not important...and the additional cost for fuel and slip. But wow, she's a beautiful beast.in my world bigger is better...no wait, in her world...bah, you get the idea....
Price would be a wash as both are comparable financially speaking.
The 310 is our first boat....was hoping to cut my teeth with her this season and see how things go.
Reaching out to all you experienced boaters for thoughts....
Forgot to mention that the 38 has all the bells and whistles, with generator and few other things my 2012 was left without, but we don't mind.
