New Boat - any ideas

[tony345]

I'm thinking of trading up to a bigger motor cruiser -

So I'm looking for something 30 - 35 feet, twin diesel around 200hp per side with a crusing speed of around 20 - 25kts

To be used in the solent and trips across the channel, CI's along the south coast etc.

Problem is I'm struggling to find somthing which is more hard top rather than targa.

I really like the look of the old Fairline Corniche style, Princess also made one similar, or the Stobero Biscay, but I want the boat to be less than 10 years old, and everything made since 2000 seems to be all canopy

I don't want anything too sedate - oh and needs good sleeping accomodation

So, all ideas suggestions and photos of possibles greatly received

Thanks

Sealine SC29 or SC35

The sunroof is electrically operated so you only have canopy at the rear.

I suggest you to have a look and add a Nimbus to that list, and if you want something sleeker and newer but with sterndrives have a look at the Jeanneau 34 Presige Sport with HT too

Elan Power 35?

If you genuinely want something like a Corniche (i.e, a command bridge set-up with a rear cabin), I think the nearest thing around just now may be a Broom:

- or have I misunderstood?

Nimbus 33, Aquador ?32?, Finnmaster Grandezza 31OC, the common link is to look North East from here

Or, as a leftfield suggestion, web page

Doh!

Ignore my remarks about the Corniche and command bridges; I was thinking of the Turbo.

But perhaps you were as well? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Jeanneau Prestige 34 Sport Top is also a cracker! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

how about a single 435hp and 30knots+?

That Elan Power 35 looks kinda nice, I do like the Nimbus Commander though.

 

[PowerYachtBlog]

ah forgot the Marex so nice
that boat is speechless, my only concern for my use is the single engine
the rest is perfect
but I think he wants used so that is too much $$$$ cash may be

Whats your budget?

I know, I couldn't help it, it's such a lovely and practical boat, even though I'm a yachty at heart I still love the look of them.

It may be me, but I just love the Beneteau Antares 980. Great use of space, double upfront, plus the real bonus of a twin bunk cabin, plus the saloon. Great handling boat plus with flybridge. Get one with twin Nanni 200hp's and fuel consumption is excellent.

I also think the fit out is good. No, its not a Nimbus, but walkaround deck is excellent and very safe... its what I would love anyway....

Thanks for all the suggestions - now off to some boatyards to take a look

ETAP 1100AC?

 

[Sundays_Child]

Tiara 3500 Sovran? (bit over budget though)

In this market you could offer $250K and see what they say...

New Aquador 33HT looks interesting. Two midship doubles:
