MB&Y had it featured this month starting at around £110,000. Marine Sales UK who are the agents at the show, say £133K I think. But I think it looks good value, and is better looking than the Rodman. IMHO.
Maybe a bit more than we want to spend at the moment, as we are considering keeping the little one here and having the new one in the Hamble, but still doing calculations based on purchasing to charter to boat sharing. I would miss the convenience of the small one which we love for evenings water ski-ing or cruising, so selling that one is not an option at the moment

Thats a good tip - heres another - if you have a non UK passport (dual residence or whatever), then go in as an overseas visitor, and you used to get a pass that was good for two days, and the queues are non existent.
Tony, you on the other hand need to look at one of these. The best modern riverboat I have come across to date. Just the thing to replace that leaky old P32 with.
See it <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.arweb.co.uk/argallery/h00>h00's project
Leaky old P32 indeed. I'll have you kno wthat it was the diesel tank which leaked, the 'old P32' performed admirably and did not leak, thus protecting me from mayhem had the diesel leaked into the water!
Anyway, dont point me at this so called 'modern' rubbish'. I see the spec boasts such things as :'Engine Room Access hatch lifted by 12v Ram, Steps to cockpit incorporate drawers and storage'.....well., I'll have you know my P32 has just such features, installed by myself only last year.....ask Forbsie, he knows you know...in fact I think he nicked some of my ideas to incorporate in his project and may well have tipped off Walton Marine on his way back to Twickenham...../forums/images/icons/smile.gif
And look at the price £106k basic or £127k as stocked.....you could have 6 of my P32's for that and ............oh never mind /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif
I am hoping to go on the Monday 15th. The idea is to cruise over from Guernsey to I.O.W. on the Sunday and Red Funnel across from Cowes. Never done it in my boat before so not sure how full Cowes will be. Does any one have any experience of this or would we be better going to Ocean Village for example?
