I've skippered the moorings 58'cat had no view of the stern. I just didn't back in anywhere. It really wasn't a problem. I could look over the side a bit and see the starboard side to a degree, but visibility wasn't great. Having someone to help with a lookout is all that is needed and they can spot on the bridge.

The 433 is I believe the replacement for the 393. A little bit longer, more powerful engines and completely redesigned. The salon has the galley forward with an actual convertible dinette that the 393 lacks. It feels like a much bigger boat than the 393.
The fly ridge is also quite different, roomier and sports a wet bar and electric grill. The grill worked well and was a big improvement over rail mounted, portable propane versions. For some reason there isn't a fridge, but the sink is nice to have handy and I did use it while cooking.
The electronic are integrated and are controlled from two touchscreen head units at the helm and in the salon. Radio, speaker zones, a/cl, lighting, ship systems monitoring are all integrated and it worked pretty slick.
It handles much like the 393, but does have a good deal more power if you need/want it. Fuel economy was better than I expected given the upgraded HP, but I generally cruise around 8-10 knots which is about peak economy.
