Its been over 10 years now since we sold our Targa 30 and life is passing me by (I'm 50 next year) so I'm formulating plans to get back on the water. This is aided by a favourable £/€ exchange rate and the lowest prices used prices I've ever seen. I need to sort out my finance so we're not looking at this summer. We need a two cabin boat that's economical to buy and run so a Targa 34 will suit us fine. I'd like a MkII as I much prefer the fore cabin island berth that it offers. This thread is likely to last for a while so I'll ask questions as they occur to me.
At some point I'd like to keep the boat in UK with seasons in France / Spain (and likely purchase one there where prices are low) so a med spec boat would be good. So my first questions is - how effective would 'reverse air' air conditioning be for heating in the UK? How does it compare to Eberspacher diesel heating?
Second question - I see some med boats with faded blue gel coat. Can this be restored or does polishing / cutting only give a temporary shine?
