Back in the game!

[47GC]

So, after a few years of non boating, we are finally back in the game! Back in 2016, we bought a new princess P43, which we sold 2018 ish when both kids started weekend sports/clubs and we were not using the boat as much as we would have liked.

We were looking for a while for a replacement and few months back we saw a Princess V39 with boats.co.uk, went down and had a look, got her surveyed and did the deal with James. As usual, deal was easily done! The wife and I wanted a number of things upgraded so we agreed all the items and the chaps down at boats.co.uk are working there way through an extensive list.

Should be delivered late February, back to our home berth at Cameron House Marina, Loch Lomond. Hopefully the weather will be good in 2022!

Congratulations on your purchase and many happy hours of fun back on the water, nice boats. As you say James and the team at boats.co.uk do make it effortless.
Happy Boating

James and the team at Boats are always very helpful and a great boat.

That’s all the small boat works nearly complete by the lads at BUK. Boat is getting dropped into the river for final sea trials next week. Will then be lifted onto a truck Monday 14th March and will be at Loch Lomond on Wednesday 16th. I’d avoid the M6 on those days!! Getting excited now!

Great boat and good luck to you. 3 times I have made my way to Essex to bring a boat around the coast from those guys. Hope they are doing good, they always treated us well

Zero hassle guys. That’s my second boat from them. They will miss my next one maybe. I’m already looking at a new V50 for 2023. But the price is a bit rich and the options list is god dam scary. Plus IPS is the only option, which kinda makes me worry a bit.

Enjoy, a very capable boat.

We took some Princess boats from Phuket to Singapore a few years ago for a show one of which was a V39. My only criticism would be that the V39 was too quick. Our economic cruise speed was around 20 knots, the V39 was closer to 30 knots and kept beating us to overnight moorings ?

Crew did the decent thing though and were ready to receive our ropes with a cold beer in hand !

Henry ?

Congratulations, nice boat I hope you enjoy. I think I overtook her on the M74 going past Cambuslang today probably just after 2.30pm...
Out of curiosity, what attracts you to Loch Lomond?

 

[47GC]

That’s the boat in her berth.
