But what does it say about the Market. Who actually buys these things? Answers on a postcard?

They've had that on for yonks, I remember the sales chap we saw there talking about it last October. Taken is as p/ex against another Bladerunner they couldn't sell /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Jeepers ! using a radar set located 6 ft above the waterline, and a 90 mph speed.

Blip ! Blip! Crash.....

Yep Had it for over a year, but up at £69,950, then £59,950......now £39,950. I guess it is time to shift the difficult stock at any price!

I have a vague recollection of it being up for nearer £90k!!!!!

Shame it can't be repowered to a pair of 440hp diesels!!!!

My Pal has one, currently for sale at Hamble point. His has 2 Merc 300 pro max engines. I have only driven it once at 80mph and quite frankly it was a dead bore. No feeling of speed because of the enclosed cockpit. Had the same feeling as when I tried a jet ski--blatted around for half an hour--bored with that!. He paid 175K 2 years ago for it and cant get a bid of 60 now /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif oh well glad its not mine

Stefan,

They have several more! the one at £90k was Here. Got to say they struggle to move them on. A very tight market and requires boys who want toys out of the city I think!

This little "Rock" has been with them for a while .At least 2 years

Think the price started around 69K.

 

[Nautorius]

...and This has been there 2 years, and This nearly 15 months.

They have some very sticky boats at the moment. Mind you over the winter I noted they had got a little greedy on pricing. They should have cleared out when the going was good!

I am suprised the Doral has hung a round. They are pretty good boats. Maybe the lack of outdrives and therefor efficiancy is an issue at this size?

Yep. We were there in October, looked at a few boats but walked after thinking they were too pricey and the inflexible nature of the price. Would've bought the Four Winns 245 they've still got had the price matched the condition (it's fairly tired, apart from the new covers).

Maybe that's why they're selling their new Audi RS4 on pistonheads, need to find a few quid /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

That huge bathing platform would put me off. It looks like a beaver /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

That boat has been upside down twice, once in Poole during it's shakedown race, and once in the Solent with fare paying passengers on board!
