whats your budget?..
there are a lot of choices depending on your needs.. the F34 can come with the open bow..
but you can go with the MTI 42 or the 36 Nortec and have all the creature comforts with out the open bow..
Do you want to go in the ocean?
if so.. the open bow is probably not a good idea..
do you want east coast or west coast?
and have you budgeted for insurance?
