Nice write up Howard, thanks, and I think you tried the most interesting boats, except of course the Scorpion would be a must for any of us that don't already own one
For me the star of the day was the Axopar. the XO270 is a great boat but for the money, i would spend it elsewhere.
The Axopar for me gives a fantastic balance between day boat and fast overnighter... just need to convince SWMBO now...
Nick, it was a shame Scorpion pulled out, i was speaking with them earlier in the week and know they were struggling for a boat but it would have been good to have them there.
of course, i am fortunate enough to know how good the Scorpion's are and very lucky to have one to play with! always happy to share the experience when we are out for those interested.
Nice post H. Would have liked to join you, but we were in the armada at Brizzle for the harbour festival. Was going to post some pics, but haven't had time this week.
