At Southampton Boat Show

Excellent day out apart from traffic on M26/M25 appalling.
Parked in local ind est. £10.00
Visited,
Princess(OK)
Sealine(poshinside but why do they look like airfix kits outside)
Broom(Sorry but no inside helm ?)
Rodman.Bit bland but it handles very well)
Hardy.(Superb finish)
Went out on 1250 powered by I think a couple of 400hp engines and was very impressed with handing.We slalomed ? thru set of 4 mooring bouys just down stream from marina aand outside speed limit at full sped and went through ferry wash both at 90% at almost parallel without any unpleasantness.
Could see in distance a so called sports boat from an unnamed magazine mincing
about trying avoid the wash.
All salespeople were helpfull and polite.
then up to Moodys for quick look over s/hand boats.
The chap I went with is looking to spend 150-200k and the 3 Princess 43 etc caught his eye.
General comment get rid of all those teardrop windows they are vile.


Just hold tight dear it will not be so rough when we get round the corner,trust me.
