Princess 50

[Niklas]

Hi

We intend to change to a Princess 50 2005-2013, does anyone know when they changed the layouts?

Once known weaknesses that should be aware of?
Which machines should choose Volvo D11,12 or Cat C 12 kännda proplem on these?

And what should be the fair price for a 2005?

The main layout change was in 2008 when they moved from the mark2 to the mark3 with its full width aft cabin.
Engine options on the mark3 were (I think) Volvo D11 or Cat C12

HenryF is our forum expert on this boat, he should be able to fill in some gaps when he sees this post.

I guess not because he seems to have resorted to venting his spleen by good old fashioned Royal Mail judging by the letter in this month's MBY Something must have broken on his boat judging by the tone of the letter

Hi

I bought a 2008 P50 in April this year. Not found anything wring so far.

As far as price is concerned. I used a spread sheet and this site to decide where to start the search.

As has been stated many times before on here. The "for sale" price is never the purchase price. You never actually know it until you have the survey done and its all agreed.

Hi Martin, hope all is well with the boat.

Hmmm. I didn't take that H was venting about his experience, but about a stupid comment from a boat builder. I agree with him too, but then I would working in the auto industry

Hi Paul,

Yes all going well so far! She came round from Lymington to the Thames and into St Kats with no problems and we have used her a lot since then and are very happy.

I must read this, especially after my comments re the used boat scheme way back from the said builder.
