Beneteau 432

[jim.grabulis]

Dear Fellow Sailors,

I am seriously considering purchasing a Beneteau 432 Moorings sailboat as a live aboard and am interested in your experiences with a 432. It seems you get a lot of boat for the money, consequently I want to make sure there is no sacrifice in quality. Your thoughts? What should I look out for or what things have you had to correct or change? I would be most interested in your overall assessment.

Thanks Jim

Jim,
Please specify the proposed boat's present age and location, and if you are considering an ex-charter boat. Where will you sail when you have it? I have owned an ex-charter Beneteau in the BVI for almost ten years and they have been good years. But there are many items of concern with ex-charter boats!
