Best seakeeping boat 40-48feet

a lot of info here but beeing a 6 kn sailor who want to change to power all this sounds really new to me. we are sailing mainly in greece and with the Meltemi and 30 kn wind we see very few powerboats planning and below 70 ft out while we enjoy downwind sailing....not upwind.
as i like to move to a trawler how about your views . something 55 ft and arround 50 t with stabilizer fins maybe as a compromise to push a little bit a semi displ Fleming 55. we live on board for 6 month and like to anchor. so no need for 2 h run from marina to marina. important is also the motion at anchor without a gyro etc.
you see crazu sailor on a powerboat are a special combination

I think that's actually a Dino - and not even the original Pininfarina masterpiece, but rather what was arguably the less inspired of all Gandini cars.

My old doctor had a Dino one of only 10 made at least it was blue in colour ;)
As a saving grace he also had a DB5 Aston, that was nice and it does pin you to the seat when he presses the loud pedal.
I can see why his initials spelled JET :)
 
I just want to stay below 1 mio so the 58 is out of range......fleming seems expensive even when 20 years old but i dont know a similar semi displacemt boat with such living space etc

I guess the Dino you're referring to was a GT4, not a GT?
Chalk and cheese respectively, in terms of design.
In fact, arguably the latter was even superior to the DB5.

Well, as I said they are best in class - or used to be, at least. So, you're paying a fair degree of image, on top of a good boat.
Anyhow, they are far from being alone in that segment!
Leaving aside the builders who jumped on the SD bandwagon in relatively recent years (and which arguably may be not as "tough" as the more traditional ones, though imho a Magellano - just as one example that pops to mind - is more than solid enough for any conditions you wouldn't mind cruising in), whatever you mean by "living space etc." can definitely be found in Marlows, ORYs, Alaskans, just to name the more popular brands.
Actually, for any given size, these builders were even better than Fleming at space optimization, if that's your main focus.

But completely out of fashion by now, to put it politely... :ROFLMAO:
And in sharp contrast with the Dino 246, I don't think it will be worth half a million quid, in half a century!
Actually, I have a funny feeling that in that timeframe, not even the whole company will be worth as much... :oops:
 
According to reports, "Tesla was responsible for more than 50 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e)3 emissions in the year 2023. That’s roughly equivalent to the combined emissions of Ghana and Sudan, home to 85 million people."

A particularly useless statistic without a comparison to conventional car manufacturing.
