Rocket,
Why are you considering upgrading to a 48DA from a 420DA? Just curious. The 48DA is not that much different except for the full glass in the front. Both have 2 staterooms, 2 heads and a separate shower. Don't get me wrong the 48DA is one of my favorites but it's almost double the price of the 420DA.
Jon, the 48da has been one of the boats on our Radar and I do agree it is a hard sell. Not that much of a gain in size. I had the pleasure to pilot a 48 sedan bridge this past weekend as this was the other boat we had been considering and makes more sense with 3 children and wife aboard. Wow what a different experience. You could feel the weight of this boat and power needed to get her moving. Although it was solid I walked away saying I am not ready for such a different style of boating. I am committed to the express layout for now and concluded that we will stay with the style. The 48 although not that much bigger is a better layout than my current. 2 kids in the aft stateroom and one on the pull out couch.
Thanks again for the help with the canvas. I'll send some pix.
