Knowing what you now know, would you still choose the 44.3 over the 46.3?
That's a good question. I think I would still choose the 44 over the 46 and I guess the primary reason is the water maker. Obviously, it's just a sample of one but we had no problems and having unlimited water is really nice. Yes, you can get water in several places but I just don't want to have to deal with that - so I end up fretting about water usage and it detracts from my enjoyment to an extent.
I don't know how prevalent the issues are across the fleet but I do know that the Dufour guy had a list on his phone that he was going through and checking this boat against so it wasn't a list specific to this boat.
I'm almost certain you won't have a microwave so you may need to adjust your provisioning for that.
I'll be curious to hear how you get along. We were on Seabreeze II. I saw only a couple of other 44s there so there's a fair chance you'll get that one also.
I hope you have a great time.
