The difference between a 27 foot
boat and a 30 foot
boat will even out after about the first dozen trips in and out of the slip. That is assuming they both have inboard motors. Sailing will be very little difference, but the cost and
maintenance will be different. If as you say ,
money isnt the issue, then go with the larger boat. It will be roomier and more comfortable. If cost was an issue, I would say to go with the smaller boat.____Pay your dime and take your chances!______Grant.
