Blimey, Congrats to both of you and partners.

You mean to say I had to drool over a nice 35' hardtop mobo and photogragh every nook and cranny today for nothing!!!

Well done guys.

Cheers

Al.

Sorry about that Al, was an opportunity not to be missed /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
Besides, think we might be a bit safer with a slightly shorter delivery trip /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

 

[Whitelighter]

er, yeah. Sorry about that Al. Against the odds the V39 sort of became unturndownable.

Congratulations. She looks in fantastic condition, and very up-to-date interior finishes. Hope you are enjoying dealing with EBY - I am. Will probably see you down there sometime!

 

[Sundays_Child]

Very nice indeed! Congratulations to you both.

 

[benjenbav]

Well done. I think that's a great choice of boat.

I'd like to echo the sentiments of others. The V39/40/41 series was absolutely cracking. It's hard to believe that Princess managed to design a boat in 1995 that still looks fresh today (I loved the slightly curved but still angular design). It really has stood the test of time extremely well.

Your joint ownership scheme is totally the right thing to do as well.

Yes, we initially started looking at 50k Sunseekers etc but pretty soon relised that we didnt really like the models available so started looking at later Portofino 375s and on to Fairline's.

We really went after a couple of Targa 37's which we thought would be the bees knees (and also still look very fresh) but missed one and didnt like the condition of the other.

I have always loved the V39/V40/V42 and I think it helps that the boat has changed very little in profile or design since 1994 and was basically still inproduction until last year.

Compare the 1995 V39 to the Targa 39 or martinique 39 and its easy to see the design is really the next generation or two. I for one am dead chuffed, and just hoping that it goes through the survey with flying colours.

so it's you, that's the one I was after /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
