Crabber 30 open cockpit, I like the idea - But £120k???

IMO good looking boats.

I saw mention of these last year in one of the mags and did a double take on the price.

A couple of berths and a bog down below with plenty of deck / cockpit space - seems a great idea to me - but £120k is a bit (!!!) outta budget for me /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif..........but maybe it is just cheaper to build something with a lid on it??

Do Beneteau make one?? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

It lives here in Mylor Yacht Harbour. I'm told they had a cancelled order on a Pilot Cutter and made it from the hull. It looks great but you could buy 2 real ones for that price!

Maybe being a "one off" accounts for the price??

Saw it and Southampton and scratched my head to work out what it was for. Was surprised when I learned it was 30, looked much bigger to me. Some 'tromp l'oeil' effect from removing the lid?

I went on board her at SBS last September - she is rather lovely, and her accomodation is deceptively roomy - there is a double bunk stashed under the cockpit - and I am sure she would go down a treat with day charter punters in low latitudes like ours - but the price is rather steep.......
That is approx US$ 240,000, and once could get a much bigger day charter cat for the same amount, albeit much less sex appeal.

It's a shame the website does not have more details / photos.

I shall try to attach a couple of photos of her here - they were taken at SBS last September.

Cheers for that!

I am so happy I don't like the colour /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif made my spending plans so much easier (LOL).........

Now off to MAB Forum to see if I can find a cheap one - "That requires a little bit of work" /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Just sent you a PM about these photos, but you beat me to it!
