Methinks they are in very different size/price ranges, so hardly competing.
Like it though, but would still prefer a Botnia.

Are you sure about the price? It seems rather steep to me.

 

[PowerYachtBlog]

very steep
UK£180k for a Sealine SC35 and about 200 for a Fairline 38 Targa, wow thats its too expensive

 

[powerboats]

Are you sure this is an Askeladden?

Doesn't look like the Askeladden hull. Looks more like a Parker?

740hp in 32'! Cripes...

This 29' Cobalt http://www.cobaltboats.com/ml2010/296/index.php can be bought with twin Mercruiser 425 hp outdrives for a mere US$ 181,000 - a chap here has an older, smaller (28') version and I was told she has twin 450 hp on tap....... and she really flies!
He dares not leave her out on her mooring overnight for fear that the ganja guys from St Vincent will take a shine to her......

the ganja guys .....

Gee......I haven't heard that expression since the Bob Marley days in the early eighties
