looking for a centerline queen, 3 cabin 3 head. Have come up with 2. I was told by someone in the industry to stay away from the 461 series. Use will be liveaboard in the BVI/USVI. Figure on taking one of the aft heads and making it a scuba storage area. Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Why?

Did you source in the industry say why to stay away from the 461? I don't have one, but I'm not sure why that model would stand out.

3 heads ?????????

js, I have never heard of a Beneteau 473 with 3 heads. We have a 2006 Beneteau 473 and they come in 2 cabin or 3 cabin, but only with 2 heads regardless of number of cabins. I have no idea where they could put a 3rd head. We have a 2 cabin and use the extra space (3rd cabin area) for storage. The storage area has access from the cockpit (starboard lazerette) as well as an access off the galley. It is perfect for us. Rich
