With trips that boat should run 80-85. I think Marc misread the post thinking it was twins. If you are looking at the red one with a windlass on it, PM "Coolerman" as I believe that was a demonstrator boat.

What are all the different models in the 43 footers, been eyeing the BT's because of the 6'+ headroom.

43EC extended cockpit4-5bolster seats, 43sc standered cockpit 2-3 bolsters seats, and 43GT witch the only diffrents is cabin hight and pretty sure the only make the 43GT's in a standered cockpit.

Thumbs up

The 460's have 6'10" headroom and the 43 gt's are almost 6'.

I'm 6'3" and here is a pic of me standing underdeck in a 460 (monopoly). It's unbelievable.
