That does feel a little optimistic.

Gorgeous beauty of boat, but a combination of typical upper Thames price conflation and somebody desperately trying to recover the cost of having to rebuild two engines and service ? (rebuild) the outdrives.
Seem to fetching more like £50 to £70K elsewhere ?
Not lot of cop on the Thames either ,a 35 ? knot boat, creeping along at 5knots with the whining superchargers constantly clunking and clonking in and out, the boat lurching forward in a neck aching fashion with the redundant turbos quietly corroding away.
Also a P33 Fly on the website priced up at £40K +. Impressive or what.

Overpriced and looks dated IMHO, interesting suite of electronics though, no mention of engine hours.

Not worth more than £60k IMO. The market is full of overpriced rubbish at the moment it seems. Time for that bubble to burst as people remember how expensive it is to maintain a 30 year old boat on twin outdrives.

Have you ever actually been on a boat!?
Literally none of that happens, at all. Superchargers engage (without any lurching whatsoever) typically at around 10 knots to help boost to the torque curve to help the boat accelerate onto the plane. At 5 knots they do nothing at all.

Reminds me very much of this, which was up for sale 2 years ago for €12k...

Gone way overboard on the expenses and trying to recover with profit.....

I wouldn’t pay 100 grand unless Mr Googler transforms it

No point pricing too high. i saw my previous Martinique 38 went up for sale 2 years ago for 40k more than they paid (and I made my target percentage profit when I sold it)…….still for sale. It’s just pointless

Depends on whether you consider a Fairline Brava 36 a boat ? with a pair of KAD (on shafts of course) and using it on the Thames for aHave you ever actually been on a boat!?

season or two.
Boat was OK offshore on the fly as long as you were not enduring the unholy racket in the saloon.

Shaft drive ruined them. They fly up 100ft into the air at 2 knots and then nose dive under the surface for 100 yards. All the upholstery gets wet and you have to wear an an aqualung to drive one.

Well actually I was being sarcastic, but boats jumping in the air and then going underwater at 2 knots is no more far fetched than what you were describing, so...

It's twin-engine - gear select left / throttle right.
