    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!

    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 😊

    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.

    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

    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 😂

  • @raymondmilburn-hughes7945

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

  • @blewyd
    @blewyd Před 2 lety

    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  Před 2 lety

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

    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.

  • @paulroberts237

    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 😂😂😂

    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.

  • @stevemills99
    @stevemills99 Před 2 lety +1

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

    That last bit just cracked me up. Great video as usual as always with a bit (often a lot) of humour.

    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 👍

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

    • @Boatscouk
      @Boatscouk  Před 2 lety +2

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

  • @Toby_the_Glen
    @Toby_the_Glen Před 2 lety +1

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

  • @frankiegregoriou4604

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

    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  Před 2 lety +2

      I will film some cheaper boats for you 👍🏻

    Scary close to the Budget! Love the 3 cabin load out. Did you lose some weight mate? Thanks for the eye opening and enjoyable video.

  • @andrewryder9642
    @andrewryder9642 Před 2 lety +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
      @Boatscouk  Před 2 lety +1

      They are great family boats and sea boats !

    Hi James, was that your Dad featured in the Blind Date section of Thursday's (21/10) Daily Mail? If so, good for him, brave thing to do!

    • @Boatscouk
      @Boatscouk  Před 2 lety

      Yes Lord Manorhouse - that is Dad in today’s Daily Mail - although I am not quite 50 yet . He said it was good fun 😂

    What boat do you have now James?

    • @Boatscouk
      @Boatscouk  Před 2 lety

      No personal boat at the mo - but we do have quite a few to choose from daily ! This summer I used a V58 👌

  • @mortenhjornevik2850
    @mortenhjornevik2850 Před 2 lety

    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  Před 2 lety

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

  • @ramonrodriguez6692

    That gally is cleaner looking than most by far. You almost can't tell. They should try to achieve that.

    Watching these vids I always wonder how often you have to clean them down and treat the teak,can anyone put me out of my misery please?

    Did anybody else want to shut the crew cabin door while James was in the crew cabin 🤓

  • @RobEJC
    @RobEJC Před 2 lety

    No ice maker, then? Fine, James will trade it straight out for a fridge, I'm told. Can't wait for the Lottery to call me and announce my winnings so I can buy a boat!

    I love the crew cabin I'd be sleeping there! It's really nice and spacious and how they got the toilet in the perfect location 👌 it's the best feature of the whole boat! Should of done some more footage on it! 😜 bllaaaahahhaha hahahaha HA!!!LMFAO 😆 😂 🤣 😅 💀
