Is there a big difference between a Temptation and a Revenge? I wasn't familiar with these models, but one caught my eye. I know at least one model had a choice between I/O and O/B, and they both appear to have a cuddy. can somebody enlighten me?

The Temptation was BW's version of a "sport boat",
The Revenge is a fishing/utility boat with a windshield and cuddy

Both came with OB and I/O power, although it seems that not many Revenges have I/O and it seems like quite a few Temptations are I/O but I don't know the actual production figures.

Hope that helps

The hulls are pretty much the same, but above the deck, the similarities end. The revenge cuddy is designed for overnighting in. The Temptation, if it even has a cuddy, is not. The Temptations cockpit is designed for lounging and high speed cruising. The Revenge is designed for fishing and just about anything other than lounging around.

The temptation does indeed have a cuddy quite capable of overnighting, although head height is not as much as a revenge. Twin 7' V-berths, port-a-potty, reading lamps, mood lighting-room for 2, but no more.
