A brand new Pershing 8 x is north of €8 Million and arguably a marmite boat appearance wise regarding the wings .The wings are the latest gen Pershing from the 5 x ( fifty ) upwards .
Personally I do not like them .You have to see them , be around them to start the hate .You won’t get it at your boat show attention span .I didn’t .

However the out going modal is sleeker and more pure .

This ones in our marina - seen it out on sea trails and in the slings reduced to around €2 million now as a quick sale needed .
It lacks the upstairs driving Kirk chair . Vac infused cored hull sold bottom only .No liners but cored sides even below the WL.
2013 so soon 10y and twin 2400 Hp engines .Early hull bonded large windows .

Or this more / less same size but built old school , no cored hull only the top sides .Hull is not Vacced it’s a hand layered solid matt the trad method about 3 cm thick on the bottom sold glass .
Older design of the time ,No sitting upstairs, no massive bonded hull windows , just a regular size hole in the master mid cabin .
Only 2000 Hp engines the then current large ones .
Asking about €900 thousand, plenty around the €1 M mark .Saving a lot compared to the newer .

2006 Pershing 76 Motore Barca in vendita - www.yachtworld.it

Its only because I have seen Adur out and about over the summer with punters but not sold ……got me thinking whats going through prospects minds .

Recent thread on new and the recent on possible alleged delamination issues in the modern vac infusion cored below the WL boats .

For me without doubt the older 76 .Accept the compromise of the lack of up top space , developed bow areas and sleep easier with out worrying of a latent defect or week hull when it’s out in rough weather . And of course the cost savings at a ratio of 1;8 against a new equivalent.
 
The Pershing 80, 82 or 8X is a fantastic hull boat. I have seen it in 1 meter plus waves and while i was doing 23/24 knots with a Cayman 58 WA HT she was doing like 35 knots feeling nothing like a knife cutting butter.

TBH I do not like the wings much on the smaller models (5X), but on the larger models it has the desired effect. I think on the 70 it really worked well, possibly better then on the larger 8 or 9x.
The new 6x has no wings, I was curious how these would have worked on that model.

Re-infusion Pershing was one of the first to go into this with the Scrimp system in 1997/98. So I think they are among the most experienced in Europe.
Scrimp patented the resin infusion system back in the mid-late eighties, and Pershing and Franchini (sail boat builder back in the days who invented the Oyster copied raised saloon) where the first to use it in Europe.
Today I do not know if Pershing still uses Scrimp tbh.
