In the market for a ZR... Finally!!
 

After a disappointing season with a cruiser boat we our ready to shop for a ZR. Thought the cruiser life would be for us after trailering our 38ZX but we realized going that slow just plain sucks. We , thankfully, sold the Sea Ray pretty quick which puts us looking for boats over the winter. The only thing holding us back at the moment is our crappy mortgage company that’s dragging their feet on our home refi, thank you pandemic.

So here our a fews question I have. Let’s assume all 525 boats with Bravos

Where is the extra 5 feet between the 43 and 38s, I mean in the cockpit or cabin, both?

How much of a ride difference in the 2?

Am I crazy to think I can sleep a family of four in them? kids are small at the moment.

any good boats out there that seem like a good deal?

525 boats equal - you would be triple 525's in the 43 versus the pair in the 38. If it was my choice I would go 38 with 700's and be smiling everyday of the week. The 43 is a beautiful boat but its not an RV - I would not consider it for staying overnight with my wife and definitely not with any kids.
