Used to have a 410 Statesman...which is the same thing & was a great boat.

Many a good memory, I wonder if she is still called True Blue?

 

[studgies]

[Whitelighter]

I also want one. it was the first boat I went on at a boatshow and thought 'yep, this is just about perfect'.

That was about 7 years ago and it still holds true. Anytime you wnat crew and all that /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif - A pontoon can vouch for my talents!!!

Its having kids that does it. suddenly you need two cabins just for toys, never mind having guests, plus hammring around wearing skigoggles in all weathers becomes a little more restrictive.


Yep, definitly getting old...

Don't forget the 390 that became the 410.

[studgies]

hmm, have to figure out a way of getting one for me now!!

 

[Garryt]

Me Me Me!!!

Had it for nearly 2 1/2 years now. Very pleased. Can't think of another boat I'd prefer at this size. Copious amounts of accommodation and entertainment room! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I'm in the process of removing the dinette and replacing it with an extended galley with dishwasher etc. The dinette was never really used except as a dumping ground.

 

[Nick_H]

I think that's a good idea, but if it's feasible then keep the dinette units to put back for re-sale. When I was looking for a T46 there was a boat with the dinette replaced by chart table, storage and fridges, and it stuck around for ages, while all the other T46's sold.

 

[PRH]

I got one. Picked it up in March for my birthday, well that's what I told SWMBO.......

 

[SpottyDog5]

It seems a very happy club,
Anyone got any niggles, ways to make even better?

 

[Renegade_Master]

studgies..............I've got 450 statesman for sale.

Come to think of it I also have a customer here with an F43 who is hinting at selling I will ask.

Why don't you come on our Cruise In Company from 21st - 26th May and give her a good run? 11 boats so far from 18 meters down to 9. There are forumites amongst the group as well.

 

[Garryt]

No....

This is a major rework....New floor (teak and holly), power sockets, dishwasher and microwave! The new cupboards and worktops are built in the same style as the originals in the other part of the galley.....

Perhaps I'll put a piccy on here when it's done!

Talking to a couple of others with F43s, their dinette ends up pretty much the same as mine did....with crap everywhere!

Plus the fact that the fwd end of the dinette is not very usable, with only small kids being able to fit in there. Now it's a galley, it'll make the entertaining that much better. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[SpottyDog5]

Gary,
Why not turn it into a Bar, Optics, etc

 

[SpottyDog5]

I would have loved to, but we are booked on a twin hulled raggy thing in Croatia.
Please keep me posted for the next trip. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

 

[Garryt]

Believe me......That's what we're doing as well! We have one of those "portable" optic holders that rotate, with the capacity of 6 bottles! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

We're getting stools as well ya know! /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

As we all seem to drink chilled bottled beer, there hasn't been a demand for a draft pump! /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
