I've owned a couple Tiaras and ran a bunch of others. All were mid level builder or better quality and reasonably serviceable/well thought out....
The beam on the 42 was fairly consistent beam all the way to the transom. I would see if anyone around you has a similar dinghy that you can try...
Not an Ocean, however we installed a Freedom Lift on the 42 Tiara open we previously owned. We loved the lift, but my advice would be to get the...
Years ago we had similar wants with our first boat. The formulas were ruled out immediately by my wife because of how narrow the walkways are for...
If you’re replacing, I would consider Veem Interceptors. We installed them on our previous C12 powered Tiara 42 open and were happy with them....
MAN service is a little scarce on the Lake MI, however Northern Marine Diesel in Two Rivers (45 mins away from GB) is factory certified and good...

I ran one for a dealer a few years ago. The layout of the boat was ok with a nice sized master and good sized VIP for a 50' boat. Outside of...
