I'm considering upgrading to a Viking, Bertram or Post Sportfish. Based on our budget, we're considering 43 to 47 Vikings, 46 Bertram or 46 to 50 Posts in the 1995 to 1998 year range.

Most of the boats have MANS but some Vikings and Bertrams have the Detroit engines.

I realize that the Post have a shallower deadrise than the Vikings and Bertrams. I'm wondering how much of difference does this make in the ride. We currently own a Tiara.

Anyone have any opinions on the engines, fit and finish and ride comfort will be very helpfull.

Thanks.

ps.. What a great site!
