Mark's right.
Only thing I woud add: How easy is it to check the oil level?
I once had to tear the entire aft cabin of a Beneteau apart to even get to the monster and impossible access hatch to the oil dipstick.
Outta sight, outta mind. Should be checked every time you start your engine.
The Universal has a starboard-side dipstick, and Catalina was kind enough to install a door right there! Amazing but true: they forgot to do the door in the first production runs of the MarkIIs. Go figure...
