Jeanneau SO 509 or Dufour GL 500

[Sonke]

Hi, considering to buy a 509. Any owners out there? Any pitfalls or bad thing to report? Other option is a Dufour GL 500. Any advice. I like a good performing fast cruiser. Any input is appreciated.....

I own a 50 dufour and dufour corporation gives absolutely no support to their boat owners. It Is very frustrating and that is the reason I would NOT recommend a Dufour. Makes a big difference. Jeanneau and Beneteau Offer great support
