Tom, I had a moment a few years ago.....

() where I was obsessed with lust for a Bounty II. There was one in Devereauxs boatyard over in Penobscot.......needed work but wow I was ready to dive in! Fortunately my frugal New England side got the better of me. I also realized that my 32' Islander has more space below than either a Hinkley BF40 or the bounty.....and from a handling perspective singlehanding is easy on the Islander compared to either of the others.
I keep looking at them though;
