Might not be all bad. Once I started really narrowing, a lot of it came down to a pretty basic allocation of space vs intended use ratio for us. And once I was honest about that, it got pretty simple. Two clear examples off the top of my head...Cruisers Yachts makes 2 great boats that were in the conversation for us.
First one was a 39 Express Coupe. Deck space is spectacularly designed. Outdoor space being important, it really did check a lot of boxes. But it just didn’t have enough cabin space.
Next one was a 42 Cantius. Really thought having 2 separate staterooms would be amazing, but when we really thought about it, we know that honestly the number of times we’d need that would be so rare, we couldn’t justify it.
So, I think you probably need to really ask yourself what percentage of time you think you’ll ski/fish/just hang out with friends and drink and swim. Then prioritize those from there. If you really think it’ll be ⅓ each, you might be fucked. But I doubt it is when you’re really honest about it.
One thing that would be a a deal killer for me on most pontoons would be the lack of an enclosed head. Most womenz don’t like that one bit.
