Howdy! 1st post, new member. New to boating. Have friends with boats and have done Moorings charters with them--Love it! Slowing down in my work life, and strongly considering a "second home" on Long Island Sound ( I live in eastern CT). I was thinking the 400 Sundancer has a nice mix of space (like that 2nd head for guests) and maneuverability for a newbie. I know it's a relatively large boat for a newbie, but you gotta learn on something! I want the space for entertaining and weekend live-aboard. Wanna cruise to block Island, Narragansett and maybe even the Vineyard. Maybe diesels? Anyway, would appreciate comments from current and past owners of these boats. Any special problems I should watch for as I look? Plan both engine and boat survey if I find the boat of my dreams. Thanks
