Your choice is clear....the money either goes into fiberglass....or your children’s future. I think it’s an easy decisionSo nearly a year on from this thread and no closer to boat ownership! However we have welcomed our second child into the family, so I have been rather busy!
Doing the usual stalking of boats.com etc and one of the V40's I viewed last year has come down by a not so small £50K. Now @ £499K.
I still can't seem to find a better boat (on paper) around the same price that would work for our family of 4 as a first endeavour. (that isn;t either much older or larger)
Hmm, this year has been great finanically for me, perhaps time to push the button?
Finally would give me an excuse to learn more practically!

Well, now you need a boat!I am now a full paid up berth holder at Conwy Marina! For a 42ft vessel.
I had been on the waiting list for 11 months, a quick chaser call on Friday and then yesterday the berth was offered. So as of Aug 1st I will have a nice…empty…berth.
Well now everything has gotten a lot more serious!

Boats are selling , 3 last weeks Torquay between 200k and Just under 500k.
Always liked the looks of the Princess V series. Never been aboard one, so that’s about all I can usefully say. Hope you enjoy whatever you do get.I’m 99% sure I’m going to go for a Princess V40. The layout, amenities and build quality just appeal to me. Not too big either, and importantly will fit in the berth!
That’s a lovely looking boatI’m 99% sure I’m going to go for a Princess V40. The layout, amenities and build quality just appeal to me. Not too big either, and importantly will fit in the berth!
The V40 is due to be discontinued along with some other old Princess models that can't be facelifted again. New windows added to the V39 added a new life to this popular model but that was nearly 8 years or so ago. If your looking to buy an old model you might aswell go for a V39. Save £300k.I’m 99% sure I’m going to go for a Princess V40. The layout, amenities and build quality just appeal to me. Not too big either, and importantly will fit in the berth!

Ignoring the cost difference I’d take the V40 over the new Targa 40 any day. The Targa is a bit smaller overall and as a result feels very cramped below.Yeah I’ve seen that the V40 is a facelifted V39. Those larger hull windows make a big difference on the lower deck though. I think the design is pretty timeless.
I do like the new Fairline Targa 40 too. But it’s knocking on £900k inc vat with a few options. Seems a hell of a lot for a first boat.
..the Princess will depreciate less..
Targa 40 is really a much different boat, has way more deck space, only 1m square shy of a V50 so I am told. I saw one being delivered the other day and the balconie drop down side and tender garage is pretty decent for a 40ft Fairline. If I was in the market for a range rover, I don't think it would be for last years discontinued model. Perhaps that's just me. Each to there own
