Had our B43 2years. I think it's a fabulous
boat. Our last
boat was the B331.
B43 is fast, spacious, reliable (after having the
fuel pump mod completed) and just like home when plugged in at the Marina or on
anchor. We've only been
offshore with her once but she was very responsive and smooth when trimmed properly
offshore. If she is not properly trimmed it is almost immediately evident. Some of the
interior hardware is
cheap but replacement cost through
beneteau is reasonable for
latches, door handles etc. Boat
hull quality is very good and control
hardware is very good. I think it a excellent boat for the
money and will be taking her to
Bahamas this fall to really check her out.
