If no luck Try Jeff at Deckside over in La Nap, he is based there but looks after five or six in PV incl mine , top bloke .

Ha ha ! you're right he was there checking up on the EU contingent , hence everyone was on best behaviour , so no Outer Reef party like last year when we got told off for nearly sinking the pontoon so many people came to the christening (bloody great party though :-))

Have a look at this system . www.sirenmarine.com While it is a server based system its pretty trick. Doe's Geo Fence, battery functions, Bilges , shore power , alarms, internal and external temps, engine metrics, Position tracking , anchor watch and a bunch of other stuff.

That seems a shame , its the perfect site to develop into a "marine centre of excellence" its a vast area, I think about 20 acres , you could put two or three major yacht builders in there and all the ancillary sub contractors on site . With a big travel hoist you could build up to 50m + My...

This would seem like the ideal spot , right opposite Hamble . Deep water access and acres to expand .

Your right J, Fair/prin/squeaker et al do use solid, but the cheapo producers are still using skiny stuff on ply , you can see cus the bullnose is completely different finish and look to the decks , even the caulking is faux .

No thin teak on ply type of thing , we only use solid teak planks floated onto the deck . proper job , you can pane down the teak loads of times over the years and never hit the deck . The P boat builders in general use a very thin teak almost a veneer in some cases glued down to plywood and...

Here's the fighting chair he uses up top when in mega DJ mode

Yes owners choice , he is a med cruiser but has a lot of guests / family he picks up in various ports throughout the season and its kinda the party deck , galley FB area is all kitted out for FB catering / drinks / cocktails / and serving. Must be the pic quality the planks are jointed .

Yes part of the AV system , basically the owner is mad keen musician type , he can sit in the Fighting chair (it stores up on the FB in its own special pride of place when not in use on the swim deck) with his remote mixing desk and do what ever they do with mixing desks while the party is in...

If you were looking at the 720 that is a skylounge model and therefore the flybridge is significantly reduced because you have another enclosed space with sofa, desk, bridge and heads on the upper deck. If you look at the 700 attached you can see the depth of the space aft to for'd .

USD $ and inc on rebuilding the G/Box as well , doubt you would get away with less than 50k euro all done if its the full rebuild , liners , head, crank , turbo and the labour, you could get much cheaper by going to indy spanner man but factory rebuild will be more expensive .

Man, Its off the scale ! Not so traditional interiors after all (albeit you can go all shipy and yachty as you want ala 1930's gentlemen's yacht as well). when your done with the med thing you can then head off to the Azores or Iceland or where ever you want and in 5 years its still a valuable...

I take on board what you say and there maybe an element of truth with regards to some LRMY in terms of their "Achilles heel" , but look around and you will find the likes of ORY offer in fact to many the perfect med cruising yacht. Take the 700 series, the flybridge is simply enormous compared...
