TAMD 61a Weight

Hi. The tamd61’s weigh around 673kgs, if it helps you any. Also suspect that they throw out more power than the quoted figure. Strong machines.
 
Thanks for all the input guys.
Update is after having a second more in depth viewing of the boat I found some worrying damage to the keel, the boat is on hard standing and has only been supported in two places which has caused the keel to badly crack where the supports are.
We are going to walk away from the purchase and look for something else.

We now know it will be much easier to find a boat with enough power already onboard.
Truth be told with our current Sealine being quite overpowered we really want something capable of reasonable speeds.
 
The mid range Birchwoods did not have the best reputation for build quality or seakeeping compared to similar sized Princess or Fairline competitors.
Perhaps more at home in non tidal or sheltered waters.
The big Birchwoods, ( Birchwood International) apparently were a different kettle of fish.
Did accompany a Birchwood 33 across to Dunkerque, it did struggle a bit to keep up with the rest of the group.

Fairline Sedan 36 would be my suggestion, more money than Birchwood but we know the reason for that.
300hp best but the 265 hp will still go pretty quick.
Boat prices are finally starting to enter the real world after the Covid lunacy and plenty to chose from , anybody still expecting daft money has missed the boat :)
Now really is good a time for a buyer ready to go with a decent offer and importantly able to offer a quick completion.

Depending on your budget…my father has been contemplating selling his lovely P385. Been talking about it for about 5 years now, but never actually gone ahead and advertised it I’m sure. There won’t be a better one out there, I’d be sure. Last year’s survey was just incredible for it’s flattery.

Just out of interest was this boat kept at Dornie?
