Why would you buy an Italian built boat in Stirling? I would go straight for Euro's.

Would it be cheaper in Euros?

I'm confused by Rafiki's idea too. They'd insist you paid euros, or they buy a swap with the cost passed onto you

Actually having got around to reading the AZ45 report in MBY today, the starting price for the AZ45 is less than £600k which is still way too much but its not £750k. Also you have to be a bit careful comparing boats of the same apparent lengths because often one manufacturer's 45 footer is a lot bigger than another manufacturer's 45 footer. The AZ45 looks like it's very similar in size and layout to the old AZ46 which I used to own and that was big for a 46 footer

Dont get me wrong, I do believe, the queue of boats waiting to go out down in Poole is impressive.
How is the Y80 going?

Outcome of this is: I purchased a Predator 64 on Tuesday. So I'm officially a member of the Sunseeker brigade now.
I'll put my Absolute 45 up for sale now (in Mallorca). It's in fantastic condition if anyone knows anyone interested.

Outstanding. Well done. I sold my squeeker a couple of years back so don't need the medallion any more. Let me know where to send it.

I don't think there's any room left on Mole Sud for another forumite!
Are you still in Antibes? (I was in Port Vauban today)

2 insurances and marina bills now until I sell it
And I read somewhere that the average time to sell a boat can sometimes be up to 300 days...

I'm back in Brighton at the moment; might be back in PV next week, just for a day.
Anyway - I'm not the Mole Sud persuader! (you know who you are...

Many Congrats, 64 Pred is a top boat. I hope you have many wonderful days aboard. Love to see some pics when you have them. Where will you be keeping her?

Great to hear the deal went throggh Balearic; many congratulations on such a good deal. I think we had the Antibes conversation with Jimmy bricklayer and AK on Match a while ago so I'll leave you in peace on that.
Ah no, hang on, maybe I wont. Howsabout this for an idea: don't sell the lovely Abs. Put the pred in Mallorca and the Abs in Antibes so you can use it when you're at your SofF place. Genius plan.

Love the aft cockpit on the 64, what a great space to spend summer evenings.

That's what I loved about it, the reverse shelf on the garage door (as they've done with the 60 and 74 now) makes the sunbed huge. With a new boat I was trying to duplicate the same feel of the aft sunbed of the Absolute 45, where you can lie there at anchor watching the world go by, sipping a cold one and shaded just right by the bimini - but still have plenty of room in the cockpit.
Apparently there's a Predator 68 on the design board in Poole, should be interesting.

Has Jimmy been demoted from builder to bricklayer? Times must be tougher that I thought!

Actually I'll be so sad to see the Abs go, it's such a beautiful boat. Wish I could afford to keep two... I'll have to give up the girlfriend...
