Source of the post You can't always go by the name of the boat but do you know the name and how long the current owner's had it?

I have not seen that boat so can't say, I was just hoping to avoid a long trip to be disappointed again.

Maybe next week after the holiday...

Thanks man....we just got back from another 12 hour search that crossed 3 more off the list for one reason or another, couple real nice boats just mostly high hours and price. The bay was nice today though, little windy but nice to get back up there , we miss it.

Heh Merk, I think that one is a private listing , haven't seen it yet, looks nice, slip and all, it's too bad we just didn't have the time to fit honey harbour into today, maybe next week after we recover from today...

Was up Sun-Tues, had a nice cruise out to the Tomb. Man, I love it up there.

Nice....

With the wind today, you would not have been going to the tomb... east side would have been ok tight in, but getting there may have been interesting....

So we have realized that the transition from a 355 to the newer 356 loses you the ability to open the salon windows as they are fixed. I do like the aft deck surround though.
Now I did read something along these lines but had forgotten about it till my wife noticed that on board the last one. I generally have the job of crawling around checking gelcoat cracks and deck coring...

Also read that the 5 at the end means opening and the 6 means fixed. So does this apply to all the 405/406 model years in that range as well. Do the 405's transition in the same years as the 355, and get the same upgrades....countertops , galley arrangement changes etc as the 355?

Am I right in assuming the 405 is the evolution of the older 370 versions ( wider beam ) updated and renamed ? We may have to consider one as the choices of good ( for us ) 355's is just not there where we are.
