Says just in but think it will have gone by now at hat price unless there is something amiss.

That is cheap innit. Even got KAD42's (some S34's have KAD32's), heating and bow thruster.

I could be wrong, but that looks like a mistake, unless something is seriously amiss.
Even tired and elderly S34's manage to make £85k or thereabouts.

If it has the KAD42's they are fast boats, but check for cracks along the sprayrails and inside where the stringers are bonded to the hull.
We has one of the KAD32 models for a while and the are good boats generally, so good luck.

Could be making room for all the part ex boats to come after SIBS /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
If you want a good used boat with good aftersale then EBY is the place to be at the moment.

It might not be that much of a bargain, I rang about an s38 that was v cheap, turned out it was a reject from sealine it had cracks all over the chines under the saloon seating in particular had been surveyed and sealine wshed there hands of it, that says it all, essex said it would cost 20k to put it right, so was back up the price of a good one (if one actually exists) so whats the point.

... yes, although a few weeks ago Essex did have a well-specced 1998 Fairline Targa 37 that came and went very quickly at 95k - again, materially undercutting the rest of the market. So this might not be a mistake, it could just be a case of needs must.

Think you'll find the spec includes Kad 43's not 42's..on paper it looks very well specced
Wonder what my Targa 30/33 will be worth when re-engined /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Looks and innovation is great but I have a saying, that you can never blunt a drill bit when working on a sealine as they seem to be so soft and thin on the grp, sorry if your offended do you own one?

Wow, looks like the price has magically jumped up by 10k!!

Have to disagree, Paul. I've blunted a few bits before now, and broken a couple. The 2.5" holesaw through the side deck was very hard work, though a 22mm wood drill makes short work of the steps up to the flybridge.

No, mine is a Doral with armour plated grp, saw how thick it is when they were fitting the bowthruster, quite comforting to know. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Sounds like you love drilling holes in your boat, do you buy your bits from b&q ? the thing about sealines is that you get stress cracks where you dont get on other boats , I personally think that a hand laid hull is better than the spray job sealine do, and vacuum tech is on the up now so maybe they will go that way next?, F37 is nice boat shame they dont put bigger engines in, though did see one with 300 yanmars in bet it goes well.

Can the same be said for all Sealines? I was considering an S23 but read something about stress cracks around the transom area? Now considering a Jeanau (sp?) Leader 805

It's already happening. S29 and SC29 hulls are vacuum bagged, Also T60 and T50 (i think).
F37 is available with D6-310, will be D6-330, which goes nicely.
Newer builds like the SC38 are substantially reinforced (the extra 400kg over an S38 isn't just the roof), and many of the older ones like the F37 / F43 were built like tanks in the first place.
Trouble is, it's a bit of a mixed bag, and not all the other models were as solid...
