Cheap Sunseeker Camargue 46

Sorry Jez, can't see what's cheap about parking a 14+ metre boat, running detroits, as lovely as they sound @ a £101p a litre, lota boat for the money mind, most of the opposition on yachting world is nearly double the asking price,but are they getting offers? http://uk.yachtworld.com/boats/category/type/Sunseeker/Camargue+46/1

MDL @ Saxon Wharf can dry stack a 14mtr boat, the price they offered me for this season was £3299 they gave all sorts of discounts for my Portofino 31 in a mailed prospectus, then phoned me at home in the evening to offer a further £100 quid off bringing it down to £3199, so my guess is they are looking for clients to fill the racks. so I could be contradicting myself:confused:

I'll get me coat, before I talk m'self into making an offer.:eek:

Offered at £55k, so you'd have to think something in the £40k's would probably buy it.

Not sure about it sitting up to the top sides in mud though...

Thats tempting. I always thought that the Camargue 46 was a lovely boat. Unusual as well as it has an aft cabin behind the engines. Sitting in the mud wouldn't worry me. I used to keep a shaftdrive Turbo 36 on a mud berth at the top of the River Itchen. I always reckoned that sitting in the mud for a few hours every tide kept the hull cleaner than sitting in water all the time

I'm guessing you kept it at Kemps or did you manage to get under Northam bridge?

Nope, further up river than that and yes, under Northam bridge. About 1/2 mile up river from where the old Vespasian boat yard used to be, there was a small marina with a couple of pontoons now no longer there as it's been redeveloped. It dried a couple of hours either side of LW and the boats sat in gloopy mud

A couple of weeks ago, Saxon Wharf weren't sure they could fit in an S34 and didn't come back to me. I guess that was your Portofino I saw there.

I looked at the Cam 46 some 12 years ago and even then found it dated and didn't like that aft cabin. As for Detroits .... I bought a Cam 47 instead.

Old boats with big engines like that have become almost unsaleable and prices are falling. Can you imagine trying to sell it again?
