Generally, Beneteau boats are lightly built, and not designed for the rigors
of passagemaking. They're good coastal cruisers. Plenty of room.
When you start seeing boats selling for less than half a new boat, you
should be very careful. Everything in a boat eventually wears out. You can
easily spend a lot more in the first two years of ownership for an older
boat than one that is newer and priced higher.
