Outer Reef Quality

[bpgt3]

I am interested in getting information from those that have experience on any of the Outer Reef line of boats. I'm possibly interested in a 65MY and really don't know too much about them.
Can anyone give me a comparison between the fit and finish and build quality of the OR to say a Nordhavn or Selene? I know they are different boats in terms of hull design. I'm just looking for quality comparison.

Thanks!

Good eye, I too like the look of Outer Reef, Nordhavn, and Selene. They look like boats should look to me, the other similar to OR might be Hampton. I'm sure there is a multi brand owner on here who has owned bother all three. And wouldn't it be nice if there was a real consumer style reporting service that does comparison test. I guess the closest might be boat test? We just passed on a 65 in Hilton Head that sold with a 60 ft slip. Nice boat, the seller purchased a new 70 enclosed bridge and new 70ft slip in Harbor Town, so he its a believer. From what I understand, these guys came from Grand Alaskan to start Outer Reef.

Very nice looking boat.
Your idea for a comparison test would be fantastic. It would be nice if there was an Truly objective website, thats not getting paid by the manufacturers, to review and compare brands!

Great video! Thank you!

One important comparison for me is to visit the ER in each of the three brands. Access, head room, equipment serviceability and general layout is quite different between the three.

Then comes in storage, laundry setup, getting on and off the vessel, foredeck safety and bilge access.

These are 3 very different vessels and one’s cruising goals play a big role too. Enjoy the hunt.
