34' Pearson vursus 33' Cherubini Raider

[Ted]

First, sorry about my english, but maybe you undertand what I mean.
I have to choose between the 34, Pearson and the 33' Cherubinni Raider to buy soon.
Any advise would be wellcome. Which should you choose, and why?

[LOLA]

Well I can see your problem...I don't know what year but looked up both on computer...one has more wood inside.

Compare what you are getting for the $......toys etc

I looked for 10 years before buying mine..was not the one i really wanted, other had more problems...so i went w safest. Had i known i was to have the engine rebuilt, i may have kept looking...which my advice is GET A SEPARATE SURVEY On the engine.

Let us know what you decide on....put pros and cons on a paper....of each...Good luck

After all the looking and the survey is done on both boats, I would have to lean towards the Cherubini. I am not familiar with the Pearson, but the reputation of the Cherubini's cannot be questioned. I have done some offshore sailing in a Cherubine 33, and I can tell you that it is a very well built, good sailing boat. In the end, I think it comes down to personal preferance, assuming both boats are equal in all other respects.
