We keep seadoo rxp on the swim platform of the pershing 50. We lift it with the passarelle onto the fixed platform, but it takes big passarelle and requires trimming under full fuel load. I attach a couple of photos to give you an idea. We fitted on teak chocks with s/s dowels. IMHO NOTHING...

I'm guessing the roof was shut as you came to it. Roof open it is no problem, I speak from a few years experience in the med during august I stay full month each year including 2020. Also you do get shade from the 50% closed part, at least on ours , never had a T47, but if they like the T50, its...

We have a hard top in the med. It is no problem, in fact i definitely prefer it to open. We use it in 32c normally and it its open at rear and about 50% open with sunroof on a Pershing 50. In a marina we find the wind is normally north or south and we are berthed east west, so no problem. At...

Subscribe to read | Financial Times France and Spain have outlined their Lockdown easing measures. France outlines lifting from May 11 in stages with beaches closed until at least 1st June, Spain a 4 stage system running until end of June. After these dates still restrictions. Restricted...

Just checked my phone, friend sent this pic back in September 2019 after a storm. Apparently at the time rumour was that it incurred a €6k a month fine and if it wasn't shifted by November it was to be scrapped. Seems to be same vessel

Did that not break free in a storm months ago and wash up on the beach? Pretty sure someone sent me whatsapp pic of it months ago whilst in mallorca

its fully shut here in spain. Cant see it re-opening anytime soon . awaiting repatriation flights from malaga. marina advises, if you leave you cannot re-enter at all. Police helicopters flying around, police cars telling you to get off the streets. i think sadly that boats are the least of our...

Y insure my Pershing which is on surface drives. They look for photos each year.

Firstly happy to see another Pershing owner (y) Also you may not need the dive gear, I can trim up and reach the full gear from surface as the props are at full extent of the swim platform on the Pershing 50, not sure where they sit on the P52, but worth a look.

Specifically I have not trialed the 52, but been on one, and trialed multiple P50. All boats I viewed were totally sound. High spec build, which stands in good stead regarding build , Positives - classic high speed high quality boat. Negative- nearly every boat I seen the gloss as wood is...

I have a Pershing 50,, and some of what is said is true. Thing is, its a fast boat, so that makes it a ball of fun when going quick, but you need to be alert as its quite different to shafts and you need to work the trim carefully on each drive. It will run happily at displacement just like...

That was my thinking also. However I did say exactly that to them to see their view, 'UK flag, no requirement for license at length etc' but obviously did not want a 'debate'. They were very clear on their terms. "It is Spanish water and you must comply with Spanish rules". Obviously simplest...

Close to home...Sant Carles in fact.

I and a few others were boarded this summer, and asked for all papers, this included passports, insurance, boat registration and 'captains license' for the particular length. This was all by Guardia civil. They did not request icc per se, however it was particular length and license for same...

Hi, use Oracal Cast Vinyl wrap. It is 7 years design and breathable application. Needs heated to correct temperature with an airgun to lose its memory shape, so properly applied is important. I've used it very successfully in the med sun on my boat, even on hardtop with no colour fade etc. Quick...
