Can anyone that has shopped these boats give an idea of what the pricing is really like with similar power?
How would a M35 with some bling compare in price to a 36 Skater or MTI with the same power and similar hardware? I think MSRP's are close, but in reality where do they fall?
I liken the DCB's to a Alfa 8C or Aston, absolutely beautiful and well done, but not really the greatest handler. A nice amount of "amenities" and certainly not bargain priced.
A Skater is more like a Ferrari 599, much more performance, less creature comforts, and a price that matches!
I'd be thrilled to have either, but on the Great Lakes or ocean's, I'm pretty sure I know which I'd much rather have.

Its kind of like this. I wanted something that would work hard, so I bought a Ford. But not the prettiest or most comfortable of trucks. If I wanted a couch with soft seats and mood lighting, I would have bought a Chevy. Well to be honest, I would never own a Chevy. Just making a comparison to help you out.

Isn't it obvious which one to buy?

That wasn't what I was asking at all. I asked the price difference.
For where I boat I'd take a Skater though, but I can't insure or afford either so it's all a dream for now.
I also don't equate the Ford to the work truck, they are much more lifestyle vehicle than a GM half ton....
