Hi john. Yup. My brother (Poster silverdee) and I are pretty happy with PV as our home base mooring and have four adjacent berths on...

Very hard to add up the hours. Where do you even start?! There is the viewing process at shows, factory visits (to two only in my...

I thought they were great boats. I did a close comparison of their 8+m boat with Ribeye's Prime 8.21m, at the Southampton boat show...

It existed in 3 names - 66,68,70. The 66 and 68 were the same. The 70 had a very big (and very nice) hi-lo swim platform with an...
