Thanks all. Yeah, that's why we ultimately landed on it. There's not another boat on the market in that size range that's laid out that way to give you that big boat, yacht feel. As I mentioned, we were somewhat limited with wanting to keep our existing slip, and the other obvious options (SeaRay 350, Cruisers 35 Express, etc) were just nowhere near the boat this one is, so we kept coming back to it.
It just felt like the perfect allocation of space for the way we boat (full master suite below deck, enclosed salon and galley up, sunpads on the cockpit and bow). I kept seeing it referred to as "the ultimate couple's boat" which I think it definitely is. I wouldn't get it if we had a bunch of kids, but for just the two of us, or with 1-2 other couples (or a handful of strippers), it should be perfect. The layout, paired with the fit and finish and styling of the newer Carvers was just impossible to beat. It really does feel like a small yacht.
