45’ aft cabin planing flybridge boat, any suggestions?

[longjohnsilver]

As per title, any suggestions or recommendations for a flybridge boat, planing, or semi displacement of around 45’, max 50’. Budget of about £150K. Brooms are not an option.

Fairline phantom 43 or possibly a 46 needing some money?
Rodman 41 - 3 proper cabins 44' overall, galley at saloon level, very well built and spacious - on shafts!
Azimut 42 or maybe an older 46
Sealine F43 or a rare T46- aft cabin loads of room inside.
If it's in the med don't ignore Astondoa 45/46

T46 a good idea.

The aft cabin is the limitation / challenge ... Atlantic 444? Or the Elling E3 might just be in budget.

Trader 445 or 47?

Elling E3, fits the brief if you can squeeze the price down a tad:

Thanks, a few suggestions we hadn't considered. I forgot to mention that 3 cabins a necessity, so that knocks out a few. The searanger looks good, but rather expensive, and the Trader is certainly in the running. And the Sealine T46, but none for sale .

Are you looking to replace your wonderful DeFever trawler, or are you 'asking for a friend'?

I know of a T46 though not advertised , I also know of a Phanto 43AC

The latter

Might hazard a guess it's linked to the recent sale of a very nice F36...?

I wonder why you are discounting a Broom 450 Fantastic hull, great sea boat, three cabins, 30 knots possible but as happy at slow speeds. Unless you are happy with semi displacement performance and fuel economy I would rule out the Trader.

I wonder too because the 450 is an excellent boat. Just to throw another excellent boat into the ring which should come in well under the budget, how about the Princess 435? Better though with the Volvo TAMD 70 or 71 engines than the more usual 61s

Trader is out, swmbo has decided it’s too old fashioned. Suspect that will also apply to the Broom, sadly. Hasn’t considered a prinny 435.

Sounds like the SWMBO should be 'out'

 

[longjohnsilver]

I was expecting that, you would have disappointed me if you hadn’t kicked that ball into the open goal
