Thanks for the input guys. Especially interesting that 2 of you have personal experience with Privateers.

I like the idea of having it custom build to my liking, and I have the money at the moment, although the rational part of my brain says it would be smarter to put that $$ into the kids' 529 plans.

Also, we have a 4 year old, a 1 year old, and #3 arriving on June 1. That, plus the fat that we live 75 minutes away from where I like to boat, suggests that we won't be using the boat much for awhile, and thus it might make sense to wait. But if I wait, (1) I may not have the $$, and (2) it's no guarantee I'll have an opportunity like this one.

If I pull the trigger,I will post pics of the build...
