So Sealine and Fairline

I was lucky enough to have a go on the Sealine F42 2 weeks ago and it was something special, the visibility from the helm downstairs is excellent, very interested to see the Fairline option next week at the show

You have an enterprising spirit :)

I'm a bit too conservative for me own good and still like the training shoe look.

The new Sealine F42 has a look of an early 80s girl's, flare topped pixie boot about it :D
 
and Princess have revised their P42 too.

Saw hull 1 yesterday and much more light in saloon - better F/B and nice new helm seats on main helm

Hey dont do this to me. Im still settling in with my new P42 and already itas old hat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! really pi...ed off, do I have to trade in already???.

When I asked they said no new model planned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, strictly speaking it's not a new model, it's just a mid-life refresher - bigger ports, new seating, bigger saloon windows, different mullion detail. But when you bought yours (end of last year?) then their answer would have been reasonable, no?

new model

I would be really pissed off... would have thought with changes to mouldings and the like they would have the change planned at least a year ahead. In fact, as soon as they became aware of Fairline's plans. Just hope they gave you a decent deal.

Yep, puts me off going to sibs this year as I may be tempted to upgrade again and I hvent done all the snagging list on this one yet. Wonder how much the manufacturers consider a years depreciation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know how much they thought mine had depreciated in about 8 months, it's quite a scary number. I'd stick with what you've got.

Yes I had forgotten you have been through all this before!!!!! Im still happy with the boat for what we want just wished now that I had waited a few months and had a mk2 facelift model...... My wife says Im mad

ps we were down brighton last sunday and waited for hours on the fuel jetty whilst some big trader took on board about £1200 worht of fuel. wheeee
 
Looked all three and for me the winner is still the Princess some nice touches on the Fairline but seemed so similar to the Sealine in squaring off the curves.

There was a time when boats with square edges were considered unsuitable and a bit dangerous for the crew. How times change
