Options on the princess V40

[Micke_W]

looking at the princess V40 (new model) V40 - Princess Yachts - British Luxury Yacht Manufacturer

Are they any options that is a must and you cant retrofit

I live in the scandinavia so heath in the nights could be good.
If you don´t have the youstick and want to install a yachtcontrol?

I can answer the yacht controller question. If it’s an outdrive boat with no joystick, the YC won’t work at all well without both bow and stern thrusters. Heating essential can be retrofitted. I’d have thought you want a coupe.

found a V40 for a nice price but S40 Coupe is still on my list if I find someone

 

[Micke_W]

The V40 sold quickly. I am also looking at the Bavaria R40 as a Coupe alternative

 

[Sticky Fingers]

It's probably a better boat than the S40 but it's 120k more too. Galley up. Better helm seat and dash. Full beam master which is saying something in 40'er though it's a bit tight.

I like the layout on the SR41 to new so no used on the market.

What's your budget?

 

[Micke_W]

around 300k-400k Euro, can stretch it a little bit if I found something extra

 

[Sticky Fingers]

That’s a decent budget. You’d get an R40 coupe for that. I’d be tempted to go bigger though. S45 easily in reach

also like the Sealine C390 but to expensive

And you might not like the cramped cabins. Sealine tried to get too much in to that boat so the owner's cabin is too short and the two guest cabins are very compromised. Would have been better to have had only one guest cabin. IMHO of course. Same with the Sealine 420.

I think you should stretch your budget to buy a Princess! However I am pretty heavily biased as we have an old V40 and quite often we get comments from people and strangers that it is a very nice and beautiful boat. When this happens you tend to forget about the cost of the boat and the hard winter hours working on the boat.

Good luck boat hunting and hope you get the deal signed before the summer!

I think the R40 Fly is nice to
