Recommendation for a 60-65 feet boat..

It has always been that way on this site. I took a break for a lot years because of the bitterness in people's response to someone else's opinion. I know several people that have left because of this.

Have you considered a powercat? There are many reasons why they don't work for everyone and they may not for you, but perhaps it is something to consider given the typically open main deck spaces and easy fulfillment of your stateroom requirements. You could even stay in your current LOA range while gaining more space and ease of movement around the boat. A cursory search doesn't show a lot of inventory in the preowned late model category but I thought it a worthwhile mention as food for thought.

The Sea Ray or L590 Fly or L650 Fly may be the ticket. More money and more boat accordingly.

The 650 would be the far better choice of the 2. The 590' isn't a great sea boat, feels tippy even when doing tight turns at slow speed in inland waters and have triple zues pods to maintain. 650 is C18 cats (2) and shafts.

Very good points, Capt J. Seems like a better boat and easier to fix than some of those foreign models. Inventory down and prices up.......

Taking delivery of our new Schaefer 660 on Friday. 4 state rooms, master has own staircase, crew cabin, CE A rating, 32 mph cruise speed with 40mph top speed. Very excited!

That's reason for excitement. Some very interesting design features. Pretty boat. What engines? One thing that surprised me was only 687 gallons fuel capacity, is that accurate?

I assume built in their Brazilian factory? Have you been there? If so would love to hear your observations.

Volvo IPS 1200 D13's. The fuel capacity is really the only draw back, although it does get .53mpg at cruise. Yes they are built in Brazil. I talked to Captain Steve (Boattest.com) to get his opinion, since he has been to the factory. He said he had armed security the entire time, so we decided not to tour the factory ha.

Reading all the answers and your original post I would look at an older Fleming 65. It has everything you want, not sure price wise though it fits your budget.
