I've heard nothing but raves about their design and cruising ability. I have yet to experience a Gulfstar. But if I was in the market for that class of vessel, it would definitely be a top contender.

Have been doing a lot of research into them and I think they look to be a good strong boat nice lines and good layout going some can come in with real time knowledge of these boats.
