Yep it's not just you I like em a lot. I also know one of the guys involved with the original development but unfortunately they are no longer made

Just you...!! No...its nicer than I expected for a fishing boat. Looks very solid and nicely appointed. A few loungers on the cockpit deck and perhaps a bimini and you have a cruiser!!

Just you FF

It's ok, but your Mitchell is much more beautiful/loveable than that. A boat can be purposeful *and* comfortable at the same time, like your Mk3. I hate the side decks (or lack of) on the swordfish, for example. The broker's comment "blink and you could think you are inside a Princess or Sunseeker" is daft!

My thoughts too. It's a fishing boat built to a D I V O R C E spec. But quite nice.

I wouldn't swap my Mitchell for it, & indeed brokers comments just urgh! But like a decent Cygnus I just quite liked it...

This is a more traditional, same weight, same power and prettier!
still available to order as a custom build 'somewhere up north'

If you like tug boats the Nordic tug range of boats from the states will do 15kts on 230hp; but it is GRP.

the only problem with Nordic tugs, they are built in America, although in fairness I have never been over one, I know how most popular american boats are built.

Im a member of the trawler forum in the states: they all think European boats are made out of papier-mâché.

Eg: the Swift trawler 44' at 11 tons, the Grand Banks 42' at 16 tons!

i like Mitchell's and Lochins, i also like the traditional work boats, but few of them are S/D like the Starfish 10 mtr.

fight fight: in the long traditions of Harry Hill.

the Starfish is much nicer! (Tops out at 18kts on 230hp)

But finding a Nordic for 80k sterling and back here will be hard to find, me thinks.
