I have a friend who is looking to purchase a boat. He wanted a 68 lazzara, but got on it and it was too small. He now wants an 80 footer, looked at the lazzara, but there are so many 80s out there he wants to check other boats out. The boat needs to be customizable, he wants it painted (no gelcoat), wants a nobletech for nav, stern thruster, and needs an atlas system, the boat is going to wind up in the med at some point in time. No azimuith or ferettis, prefers american built. Now how does the 80 lazzara, hatteras, princess(viking 84), marlowe etc. stack up to each other. Any other boats I havent listed here would be greatly appreciated. Anyone know about the boat builder leclercq, just read about an 82' seemed like a nice boat. I want him to get a great boat, probably no custom builds, but he is in a little bit of a hurry. Any and all ideas would be appreciated.
