Hello from land locked Oklahoma. I have always had small boats on inland lakes for skiing with the family (Malibu). The family is grown and my wife and I are contemplating coastal cruising and Great Lakes cruising as we approach retirement.We have chartered trawlers and have been guests on Viking Sportfishing yachts (56-64), Tiara 38 open,as well as express cruisers by Wellcraft, Formula and Cruiser. We have attende the Miami Boatshow the past 3 years and discovered the 48 sundancer during the last show. It has become our dream and goal to purchase in the next couple of years (used). I am interested in any feedback on the boat, including ease of handling with a couple in their 50's, reliability, seaworthiness in suboptimal conditions such as 5-6 ft following or quartering seas. We really don't want a bridge boat as we age and we do not do any serious fishing. We don't want to go smaller because of family and guests. Thanks, nick
