Anyone else been? Met Aquaplane and Lady Stormrider on the pontoon this afternoon.

Had a look at an HR37 and arranged a test drive in a Model S Tesla.

Just need to win the lottery tonight now.

I was there this morning and until about 2pm. Though it better than other years.
Grandson asked while walking along the pontoon if there were any sharks in there.
"Yes, I said, lets go over to the new boat section and meet some".

I was there Friday and Saturday ... might pop along this afternoon. I am not in the market for a boat but thought that there were some that looked like bargains - A Moody 31 for just over £19k is the cheapest I have seen by far and it looks OK - I guess it needs a new engine or some other major work. Similarly an M346 at just over £31k and again it looks nice but I suspect there are hidden challenges. The Centaur at £8.5k looked expensive.
Met Dylan and a few others.

I was there on Fri. Enjoyed it. The big gold benny had the wow factor. I particularly went to see the Hanse 415 as I'm chartering one next year. I wasn't disappointed.

I planned to go on Saturday on my way home from Craobh - even had a ticket for the RYA free lunch - but was feeling lousy so went straight home and into bed with what's either a very bad cold or possibly flu.

It'll be Flu Davey...

Pete - Do you have any background information / insider knowledge on this one? Or is only that the price seems too low? I believe that she changed owners a year ago, do you happen to know what price she was advertised at in 2015? She has a bow thruster, but electronics need to be upgraded. She is an 1987 @ £31,250.

There are 4 others in the local area advertised for sale, with differing levels of equipment.

1986 @ £35,000
1990 @ £41,500
1987 @ £44,000
1989 @ £44,500

Cheers

No - I saw that she looked OK and was cheap - I did wonder if there are issues with the engine or something else fairly costly.

Buyers market/ keen seller for the 346?

The 35 they have looked tidy.

Did you look at the 38? when I looked at it a while ago it was sticky to the touch inside and the engine mounts were not even done up on one side. Other horrors were lurking.

If you fancied a project it might be OK, but at the thick end of £80k? That boat prompted the delusional boat seller thread, along with a few others I've seen.
