Well there is another way around the Targa 43 UK Prices coming back to reality - Just keep waiting.

So just for arguments sake - there is only 1 place in the UK to inspect the Vessel - if I went down the route of getting a boat from Europe and got it inspected with the EU RCD v3 cert then would then that be allowed as it meets the criteria ?

So my question there would be its a British built boat from the same mould so floatation, Stability and Handling characteristics are the same - Electrical and LPG - Yes I get that but wise to get them tested especially LPG on any boat - Handling of waste - well its likely to be the same as one...

So a possible way around it it would be if the said boat was originally UK Tax paid - and the current owner - Completed the sale in UK ?

Slightly off topic but has relevance - Had a gas engineer come down to service the central hating boiler - told me I needed a new one as it doesn't meet current Regs. I got rid of him quick as he started to measure up - I then contacted an engineer who had been in the game for years (wasn't...

There was a Targa 43 a few years ago kept in Southampton I believe with basically the Propeller falling off and a jungle growing around it @volvopaul will know of this vessel. The marina where my last boat was kept we knew of an owner that had his VHF turned on for roughly 2 years and only...

Yes you are correct look at post #4 where the boat in the UK that I enquired about the owner doesn't keep service history - I enquired about one in Mallorca a while back and the broker within a few hours emailled the history and the vat paperwork.

Some are yes.

Totally agree hence why I said on my first post you could actually get a better condition boat and after all the costs - Come out better than buying in the UK

It Certainly is - I sold my Boat Last December and want to upgrade to bigger but with Shafts and not the Devil's Fans - But what I'm not Prepared to do is just Jump in - There are some good examples about - Fairline made 296 of them. I was Speaking to a Broker about one on the South Coast last...

Hi -First off this is just an Observation and my Opinion whether right or wrong for a debate. When Covid and Lockdown started the prices of Boats went up due to not being able to travel abroad for Holidays etc What I have noticed that in the UK and Netherlands the prices of certain boats is...

Many thanks for your replies so far much appreciated From what I gather its full boarding that has rotted not a pad. Jon

Hi - I have been asked by a Friend of mine to ask this question so please bear with me The Ply on his Speedboat is rotten and Plans to change it out for 12mm Marine Ply - What is the best type of adhesive to stick it down to GRP and what prep is required. Many thanks In advance

First and foremost - have the correct PPE ie dusk masks, eye protection and coveralls best for me are the disposal type of coveralls
