Gobbi

[Guest]

Went for a drool at Dusseldorf last weekend, need to go back on saturday again as there is just too much to see. Anyway, nice to get on to boats without problems, after all I've read about LBS! Even Fairline were only a minor bit smarmy!

Had a look at a Gobbi? 425? which seems to offer a lot for the money (except a cockpit canopy, cable for the shore power[!!] and chart-table). Anybody know if they're anygood? Stern drives on this length sound dodgy (although Princess V42 also offers them) - and why don't you ever test foreign boats like this Kim?

bit new, i think. Gobbi's don't go a bundle in the uk, cos er well crap name. The ones they had in Port solent were there for ages and ages.

Yeah Kim, I've just bought a Sessa and would like to have seen a comparison like for like with Fairline/princess etc etc.
FYI Sessa are I think the biggets boat builder in Italy and have over 200 dealers in europe but rarely get a mention in UK mags, why's that? Someone scared Fairline may withdraw their ads?

Correct....

In fact a few had birthdays whilst they were there.
