The F46 is still derived from the same hull and deck mould as the F42!

But isn't that just good business sense, keeping your line up as fresh looking as possible without development costs running away with you. Similarly with reducing staff levels, a sad but true fact of life today.
I have to say I was at the Sealine factory a few weeks ago (on a Friday afternoon) and it seemed to be buzzing, they're still using two sets of moulds for the SC35. Our boat is number 218, due out tomorrow, and we saw the beginnings of 229.
We also saw F42's F46's SC47's and a T50 in build.
There seemed to be activity in the R&D shed, but obviously we weren't allowed anywhere near.

I couldnt agree more!
Steve Coultate was the MD when i left in 2008.
I dare say that they are still revamping the range so as not to sit on their laurals, but no new models are currently being built from scratch!
When i left, Brunswick had serious issues with sales and performance from Sealine!
I worked their for 23 years, and Sealine was at its lowest point ever when i left.
I wish the company well, they still have an extremely competitive range.
