FF, Your a bit slow I'm afraid!
This was posted here a few weeks ago if my memory serves me right...
I agree though not the best looker I've seen.

Large blindingly white plastic bath-tub. Like everything else from the Carver stable (runs for cover!)

I was moored a few boats away from one of those in Gosport at the weekend. Not only is it ugly bit the external finish is atrocious.

Ugly or not I couldn't afford one. However, as an opinion on style, it looks as though one bumpy wave on the bow and it'll stand on it's nose!
Why don't mobo's look "boaty" any more? Maybe it's me but they have no grace, no curves, no beauty, the bow is often lower than the stern, there is too much glass, too much top hamper generally. I realise that speed dictates underwater profiles but somehow designers seem to have lost the plot topsides!

Ok Cliveshep, if I've read you right, I think you might just like what I consider to be a dream boat...
... this is what I'm hoping our business will afford me at some stage... sometimes seems a long way off, but surely worth the wait!.

Not as sexy as Firefly'625's below you. That gives me a tremble all over. Now THAT is what I call a "boaty" boat! See them at sea, bouncing in heavy weather, ploughing along unconcerned, white wake and waves foaming all around....sigh............

URe: Ugly boats
Sorry Rick. that doesn't compete and only serves to prove the point that designers respond to the market - and the market lacks taste!
however I will admit that after a quick look at my own photo gallery not one of the boats I've owned looks 'pretty' since sailing in the Sixties. Bit like women then . . .

And the owner ain't the best helmsman either. He neede quite a lot of assistance berthing as I remember on one occasion. However, it does have the most exceedingly georgeous sounding V8s, so all was forgiven!
