I think it's brilliant. Could do with being angled a little further over the water maybe, otherwise a great place for it.

"Pointless" is the adjective I would suggest.
I wouldn't mind some inherent risks (I've got a gas bottle onboard), if I could get some delicacies as a result.
But here, we are talking of a BBQ, for crissake - something unsurprisingly very popular in the US of A, which from a culinary viewpoint is fair to call a third world Country.
That's the best way known to mankind for creating high glycotoxins content in food, which is silly.
It's not even worth thinking which is the best place for BBQs on a boat.
Much better to leave them gathering dust in The Home Depot or wherever they sell them... :ambivalence:

Nothing is going to stay on top of that thing unless the boat is ashore. You also need to stow that contraption, after you have allowed it to cool down and removed all the goo and lumps.. No doubt this job will fall to the underdressed young lady. Must surely come to bits. If my table with similar pole-ina-hole deck fixing is anything to go by , it could all also be a tad wobbly. The BBQ, not the young lady.

It's a gas BBQ and the young lady is no doubt engaged in a health & safety discussion whilst lying on top of a...petrol engine. What could possibly go wrong?
Seeing more Fibraforts in the south of Spain btw....

In the Medway obviously your sausages would roll off the side into the brown/grey gloop that passes for water, however in Brazil, where this boat is made, its always BBQ conditions and all the girls look like the one in the pic.

Lots of petrol boats have gas burners.

Absolutely, and the boat is probably really at home in one of the vast inland lakes they have in the States. If people's idea of boating is lying a round in the sun with a few ribs or burgers bbq'd for lunch then who are we to criticise them!

Certainly looks more appealing than Ham and Cheese sandwiches in the rain ;-)

Here, fixed it for you - Philistine my a*se...!
Obviously, also the models should be chosen accordingly.
On a boat like that, if a couple doesn't make her list badly, it ain't properly representative of the BBQ culture!

I take utmost umbrage at your aspersions to the nature of the BBQ. Maybe the British BBQ or even the American's. But a well orchestrated Braaivleis just cannot be beat.

Sorry for that, but they aren't MINE aspersions.
Just google for glycotoxins (which I previously mentioned), aka AGEs, and you'll be overwhelmed.
And aside from any scientific indications from WHO, AHA and the likes, when it comes to food, it's very simple really.
If a cooking technique never got a foothold in Italy, it's better avoided altogether...

blimey, another school day at the forum!
If I follow all these threads for a couple more years I recon I'll be able to get the Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency in English...

The prospect of the Med being a potential haven and paradise is fast tarnishing here. Risotto indeed!

I don't think it’s actually a barbecue. If you look closely it seems to be some sort of solar heater to warm the 4 slices of french stick that he has on it.

Far from being a BBQ expert, but if as I understand the boat is built in Brazil and sold in the US, I can't think of a pair of Countries where a BBQ is more essential than anything else onboard.
In fact, they went as far as calling the boat "focker", and fitted her with toy cleats, but the BBQ stands out as the protagonist in their pic.
Nah, it's bound to be the real thing! :ambivalence:

Think the names a cracker, I mean Focker on the side don't look like Focker to me.... sums up the boat nicely
and a boat built in Brazil for the Americans..... heck, that's surely a combination that should be avoided.

Putting BBQ's to one side, I think the question of "S23; S25 what went wrong" actually need to go further. I'd ask what happened to the S23, the S28, the S34 and the S37 (plus their counterparts from FL, Pr and S/S). OK Sealine might make a C330 and FL will be making an F-Line 33 but none of these offer an equivalent replacement for the boats above (open top, two cabins, galley downstairs). All of these boats sold in their droves, where did the buyers go? Is it really the case now that anything under 40 foot will be a villa owners day boat?

I think the buyers made their way to the Jeanneau/Beneteau/other random sports fisher dealer's door. The market has changed. The small sportsboat has been replaced by something more practical and they are selling in greater numbers than the S23 et al ever did.
