I know of a S58 that you could potentially get a good deal on. It is in great order but a specific reason why it isn’t flying off the rails that is more perception than reality. PM me for more details.Yes, I've spotted this one before... It's the right boat, cracking spec but wrong price for me at the moment though. In 2-3 years this is doable but not in the next 12 months. Too pricey right now
Also, looking at this price - EVERYTHING has gone nuts in price,:- watches, handbags, jewellery, cars, boats... I was going to treat myself to a new to me Targa (not the Fairline variety) of 3-4 years old. They've gone up around 10k. My car has gone up around 4-5k.
That's all well and good, but the increase on the price of a boat is massive compared to a piddly car...It boils my piss, but that's capitalism for you. That Squaddie would have been £50k leass 18 months ago I reckon.
BTW every year when I add things up ie engine service, fuel, marina, one off repairs - the bill is twice what i mentally think it is or will be. This is what it call boat owners sanity protection! You cannot though sadly get away from the fact that the real cost of a boat is after you buy it!
