Your boat would have had a scale model tested in a tank

Which hull would sir prefer ?

It would have been delivered by water to the Boat show

A nice posh brouchure with prices would have been produced.

It would of course have a review in MB&Y

...and would of course be still going strong many years later.

It may or may not be in need of a new owner ?

Very subtle Fred.

I could come to like it, but for the patio on top.

How long did the last Transocean on the Mudway take to sell?

I don't want to tell an esteemed long standing forum member how to suck eggs but.... I would be taking it to the nice chaps at Essex Boatyards to Px it with the Portuguese P35 that they could import for you no hassle,transport at cost etc,they like a deal and with the euro at 1.25 the other day it's a steal!
All you have to do is write out a cheque,jobs a good 'un

 

[Mr Googler]

Looking at the price list, the ship to shore radio in 1973 would be £5993 in today's money!!!

Trouble is I bought it from them
That delivery trip was an interesting one to say the least and at least one made a trip to Australia !

I wouldn't like to have to pay that for a VHF today, but I like the idea of a sub £1000 radar!!!

Not if it was a 1973 model you wouldn't

Agreed, £7491 today from that price list
