Hi Everyone! We are trying to decide between a Kadey Krogen 42 Widebody (later model) or a Selene 47 2000 model. Our planned 5-7 year cruise would be from Alaska, down the West Coast & Mexico, through the Panama Canal into the Carib, a side trip to Guatemala, up to Florida and then probably at least half of the Loop. From there we'd like to go to Holland and take the route to the Black Sea, Aegean & Med. (Atlantic crossing probably by Tanker delivery!). We are concentrating on long range blue-water pilothouse/trawlers with low bridge clearances. The Nordhavns seems to have high stacks and almost no cockpit. Although they are awesome boats, they don't seem to be compatible with our need to live mostly on the decks! Is the Kadey Krogen hull design really superior? Is the hull of the Selene 47 sufficient for the waters we plan on cruising? We love both boats and can see why owners fall in love with both of them! Would anyone like to join a discussion on this? Our last boat was a Marine Trader, but this time we're serious! Barb & Don Reno, Nevada.
