I am interested in purchasing a liveaboard boat in the near future and have been pondering an early 90 First 38s5, or a 95 First 36s7. Both will cost in the neigborhood of 100k. I will be using the boat in the open ocean. Do I go for the newer boat, or do I go for the bigger boat. I am interested in finding list of options that were available on both boats. I have seen some with wooden toe rails and some with aluminum and things of the such. I would like to know if they are model year changes or optional equipment. Are either of these boats an extroadinary model that distinguishes it from the others? Are there any good or bad characteristics I should be aware of? Thanks in advance for any info anyone may provide.

bigger?

Not familiar w/ either boat but I'd be careful in assuming the 38 is bigger.Get on the boats w/ a tape measure and notepad.Most all manufacturers are refining designs and getting more interior into any given length especially whne changing to the next generation. Good luck
