you may be right but i have used mahogany wood stain on a mark created by my kids and it was a perfect match.

The salesman said it was mahogany, so it is almost certainly Sapele.

Thanks Novio,
Great to have an owners point of view. I have seen a few second hand, and there are not that many, and they fall into well looked after and good nick, neglected and poor nick. I also believe when Tameside marine (birmingham) were importers at the begining that their workmen doing PDI were not too hot. I like them, always have done and think they are great value for money.
Cheers

Though they had the styling well done on their recent efforts, the 390 is very Phantomesq and the 440 looked ok at SIBS. Not sure about their new 290 though, seems they still have some homework to do in the design stakes:

Yep, still in the throws of growing pains, it will sell purely because of the price and the amount of space you get but never a classic thats for sure. Mind you there are some premium builders produce some turkeys too! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I think its virtually impossible to build a stylish 29 foot flybridge, cos its always going to look as tall as it is long, but even so that is one seriously ugly boat

Thing is their previous effort, while no stunner, manages to avoid being totally ungainly:
I think the oddly shaped side windows and very short foredeck that really do for the new one.

I always thought Bertram got it right with the 28
You still see a few of them around and they still look good to me. Eye of the beholder and all that, of course.
