    Great boat and a cracking tour as always. The mixture of humour and honesty is a joy to watch.

      Ah thank you. It’s a joy to film too - really good fun 😊

    Another enjoyable and informative tour James, your down-to-earth explanation is very much useful to us experienced boaters. I hate some of the narrators who go into the specifications with words that confuse rather than explain as you do!

    • @Boatscouk
      @Boatscouk  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I don’t know the long words 😂

    When you said it's a forward master cabin, I knew there wouldn't be a sock sofa. But that's for good reason. You've got space for a baby crib!
    Seriously, this boat has the most organized engine room I've ever seen on a 50-footer. Loosing the tender garage does have some benefits, just like loosing the sock sofa.

    • @Boatscouk
      @Boatscouk  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I love sock sofas 😉

    Unlike many, you guys are very honest. No lies or bs said here. Just stated facts and your true opinion. You kept to your word and really showed the good, bad, and ugly! If I had the money and lived near by, I would definitely go to you guys to buy a boat.

    • @Boatscouk
      @Boatscouk  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks Blewyd - much easier to say it as it is 😂

    No idea how you have sold this twice as it has a Ice Maker and I have heard that they are a waste of money.😂😂
    Excellent video thanks James

    • @Boatscouk
      @Boatscouk  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Avoid the icemaker 😂

    Hard to believe this boat is nearly 10 years old ! Still looks stunning

      Yes a really well made boat 👌

    A ten year old, one owner boat with 162 hours on her? What a find. Accept for the awful crew cabin, this one is superb.

  • @martinbirdiebrain1912
    @martinbirdiebrain1912 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    I’m not really fussed on this boat James!
    There isn’t enough trip switches for me! 😂😂😂
    You trying to get in that crew cabin, pmsl 😂

    Really enjoy your video's James and your good humour, I am age 75 and have always wanted a boat, I now live close to the Norfolk Broads so after having done some research to find a boat that is easy to get on and off and affordable I am saving hard. I quite like the Shetland 4+2. I appreciate you deal with the higher end of the market but it does give me ideas as to how I would like my boat to look.

    Just love your honesty James, please don’t stop that it makes it more fun. I take it your not tied to anyone so you can do that!!!
    Love the videos, the staff must squirm when you tell the truth 😂😂😂

    Just out of interest, in 'older' boats, do finance/insurance companies insist in a more in depth survey?

  • @stevemills99
    @stevemills99 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Lovely looking boat. I laughed out loud at the end with the ladder issue.

    • @Boatscouk

    I can see how you sell 360 boats a year always honest review love that I’ve been hooked for months watching all the videos from different companies but this is the best I’ve never driven a boat but I think after all these months I could 🫣if my numbers come up I’ll be straight on the phone to arrange a consultation with you top man 👍

    • @Boatscouk
      @Boatscouk  ปีที่แล้ว

    Great video and great boat. I would like to see a factory video on how the fibre glass hulls are made.

    • @Boatscouk
      @Boatscouk  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Tricky as most hulls are not made the old way these days

  • @frankiegregoriou4604

    I didn't like the boat but the show is one of the best, bravo James, you should go to the Apollo, excellent

    • @Boatscouk
      @Boatscouk  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      And sell boats 🥳

  • @andrewryder9642
    @andrewryder9642 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I love this boat. It’s more than I had planned to spend but it’s relatively affordable and still looks so modern. Maybe I should expand my search criteria.

    • @Boatscouk

      They are great family boats and sea boats !

    Norway needs an operation like yours …..if you positioned a few at a good marina you would sell a lot as crying out for it. Would need slightly different spec…heating etc. but 30 boats a year looks straightforward as we are a wealthy nation and huge coastal. Just a thought .

    • @Boatscouk
      @Boatscouk  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      We used to sell lots to Norway through Stravanger - maybe the currency rates are poor at the moment ?

  • @Nick_G7IZR
    @Nick_G7IZR 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    0:37 Nice cruiser. But what's the sportsboat on the left of the Fairline? Looks a bit more affordable for me... :)
    You should get an apprentice or someone to film some cheaper boats for the hoi polloi

    • @Boatscouk
      @Boatscouk  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I will film some cheaper boats for you 👍🏻
