Fairline makes fine boats. In this age and category of boats,I have seen or driven pretty much everything from major builders and I found that the Cruisers yachts 280cxi offered the most complete package paired with good build quality. I couldn’t believe how much they were able to put in and at a high level of craftsmanship. I remember how the interior was all covered in some type of material with no exposed gelcoat and just looked a class above anything else in that price range. I guess that’s why they sell pretty fast when they show up on the used market.
They save never meet your Heroes! Well I have been stuck overseas for three years, but when I get back I’m heading to Marine Sales Scotland (with a bottle in hand of course) to meet you sir! Love the videos!
Looks very nice but the only thing I'd like to see is a cooker like the sealine does so you can have toast etc in the mornings when you're away from shore power
@@smileoftenatsea Yes, I misheard, I thought he said 4.6 litre each. I had a 4.3 in a 18ft bowrider, it was reasonably quick. But 2 pushing a boat of that size would fair drink the stuff I reckon...
@@Nick_G7IZR I would estimate around 100L/h for both engines, cruising around 20kn. These were not built to run at high rpm for long so top speed around 30kn would be safe for short periods and would likely consume double. They are heavy boats closing on 10k lbs, so a lot more weight to push than the bowrider. Still pretty decent engines when maintained regularly.
