Re: Best Offshore Cat Builder/Models with decent interiors

Liked that first video. That second video you posted was made by the same guy as the article I just posted. I'm now seeing this is basically just a bunch of FP propaganda. Cherry picking negative Lagoon reviews etc... Would be a very nice review if there wasn't such a strong agenda.

Yes, btw, FP had a lot of issues with osmosis in the past I read, Oranas, Liparis etc. Not sure about the quality of the underwater ship of the new models.

Lagoons have been boxier and more spacious, the boom high they mention applies only to the F models (fly bridge), The S models of Lagoon are great and same in regards of boom accessibility, also they are heavier, but much more stable, beamier both the whole boat with the salon, and the hulls, so more living space. Meanwhile newer Lagoons are narrower and shorter (400 vs 40) and the FP are boxy too, not much difference, Lagoons are still cheaper for the size.

But in general, it givers a good overview what to expect.

I agree. I strongly encourage FP buyers to visit the FP factory and to make sure they are comfortable with balsa core below the waterline. I am not.
