535 vs Family Four
09:56 Tue 9th Aug 2011
Ahoy there shipmates! (sorry just had the need to say that)and it is my first post so you should make allowances for me ;o)
I currently have a 535 and am considering getting a Family Four as I want something just a little bigger. I have noticed though that the hull dimension are the same on both boats, so I assume that Shetland have used the same hull. My question is, is there a lot of difference in the boat accommodation, I have also noticed that the engine on the Family four now shares space on a Bathing platform, has this made any difference to the cockpit size, again I assume not because the LOA is the same as the 535.
All comments and suggestions will be welcome.
Just one other thing, I own a Focus 2.0 tdci with a towing capacity (according to Ford) of 1500kgs, this is why i need to have a small boat so i can travel around visiting rivers and coastlines around the country.
