Which 50' coupe with Volvo pod drives best?

My first time here and not sure if this is the right forum for my question but here it goes. If you were buying a 50 foot MY with Volvo pod drives and didn't want a flybridge which builder is the best?

A little bit about me ... I do my boating year round in south FL, Bahamas, Caribbean and cross the Gulf Stream several times a year?

Fishtigua ... I mean an enclosed boat express cruiser style with a hard top from model year 2015 to present. Open as to budget because I really want a quality vessel which would fulfill my cruising needs and handle well in rougher offshore waters (see above).

The Delta looks nice but has an loa of 60' and I wanted to stay with 50'

Let me begin by saying that I have always owned boats with the master stateroom in the bow of the boat - my latest boat being a 44'. In my years of boating experience I find that while at anchor in waters that are not calm or while underway at a easy pace such as a 7-10kt cruise sleeping is challenging at best. I have a feeling that this wouldn't be a problem if the master stateroom was mid-ship full beam. Can anyone out there who has a boat with that type of layout give me some first-hand advice on that?

The Delta while being a beautiful boat once again only has a master stateroom in the bow. Now if your definition of boating is sleeping on your boat while it's at a dock or going out on day trips or perhaps a weekend trip then I suppose you can deal with the bow slap while trying to sleep. But if you're definition of boating is going out on trips at a minimum of 10 days at a time you'd like to have some basic comforts.

What say you oh knowledgeable big boating public?

Sabre boats have a lovely old school look and I wish you many successful voyages in your new 45. I see the 45 has the master stateroom in the bow which in my experience at anchor will not be comfortable in anything other than flat seas. The 48 has the master stateroom opening into the galley which I find aesthetically a bit off. The 54 is closer to 60' loa and too big for me. I would really like a 50' loa as my max which would check all the boxes in comfort, range and handling in other than calm offshore conditions ... which builder hmmmm

I appreciate your thoughts and agree with you for the most part. I used to be able to sleep through anything but unfortunately I find that as I get older in the past couple years I've become a light sleeper. Now I've been sleeping on boats for years without any problem so I'm not going into it with a poor attitude it's only this new reality which has been this way for the past couple years. Frankly I love my boat (a 2011 44' express with master stateroom in the bow) and most everything about her but this new sleeping issue is causing me to rethink my situation and look into the purchase of a bigger boat because I like extended cruises.

Thank you for your input but that's just it - I cross the Gulfstream several times a year and need a solid reliable seaworthy boat since I also spend a lot of time in the Bahamas and Caribbean and as we all know parts and good service is tough to come by and that part of the world. Although there are many times where I only cruise at 7-10kts I also enjoy being able to cruise at 25 without pushing the boat to her max. My current boat a 2011 with twin Volvo ips D600 can do 33 if pushed but my definition of fast cruising is between 20-25 although it's nice to know she can run if she has to.

At anchor I use 50' of chain leader and the rest is line so no issues with chain noise at all. It's really the bow slap that's the big issue.

I prefer calm seas like most but there are times one gets stuck in less than perfect conditions especially crossing the Gulfstream. Princess, Prestige, Cruisers (I imagine there are others) are a few I've found which have the layout I'm after but I question their seaworthy, performance, speed and dependability. I appreciate all first hand experience input.
