And the next thing you know, the cutlery smashes!!

@amiliogarcia 8 месяцев назад

Another fabulous presentation however I do think that the depreciation amount would be at least 10/15% per annum on the costs. Accepting it's a pricey quality brand boat British built.

@frazzzz1066 Год назад

what i love about your vids are how honest you are, and so interesting

@RobertCardwell Год назад

Love the backwards hat! Plus the rest. Sorry the bowl sacrificed itself to remind the lucky new owner to do a quick sea prep walkthrough.

@HennieMartens Год назад

I love these videos where you're out in the water.

@premierproductionsliverpoo362 Год назад

Absolute quality Hahaha forgot to check the fuel, and forgot to check the tide ha ha ha love watching these videos. Keep it up

@johningham4942 Год назад

A great first tour for 2023 James and a sea trial to boot, don't worry about the bowl because accidents do happen occasionally. A great Targa 45 GT so fast and roomy and a great price!

@jacobyrassilon Год назад

I'm new to this channel, but you guys are hilarious, but also no nonsense when it comes to explaining the operations of your boats. I am very glad that I happened upon this channel...keep up the good work!

@nickwebb9290 Год назад

Happy new year 🎉 Always like your videos, honest, down to earth, entertaining and informative, can’t ask more than that 😁

@petermartin4675 Год назад

Happy new year to you all, keep these vlogs coming for 2023.

@kfeltenberger Год назад

I see JB has a new video, I automagically click "Thumbs Up", clear the calendar, and settle back to watch it. As a bonus, the shout window in action...my day is complete! 😁 This was a beautiful boat and would make a great "Great Loop" boat!

@julesforsyth2996 Год назад

What a great surprise for a Friday afternoon. Nice boat, love that walnut gloss is back as that's my choice no matter if fashion or not. Not really a long term trip boat, probably max a week at a time but perfect for that. Love the garage as to not spoil the lines and love that it's easy to handle. Happy new year James and family, looking forward to the next one.

@keithhughes2104 Год назад

Great video as usual, however the bed in the master cabin is only 4'6" wide and also noticed that you had to dip down to see out of the windscreen properly, never the less a lovely boat and great value for money. 👍

You have gained a new subscriber! Watched loads of your vids and sorry if i didnt thumbs up them all!! Loved the one with your dad! I am 5 correct scores away from owning a boat :0))) Will never buy from anyone except you! Love your honesty and info!! As a ... FUTURE.... HOPEFULLY....customer i think you do a great job on budget stuff, hours per gallon etc, Just to add one more complication to your life from a skint dreamer...my calculation on boats is RANGE X FUEL CAPACITY! Just found your channel today, I think you are wonderful. I hope to see you soon.... 9x over 2.5 goals shouldnt be that difficult! :0)))) Hope you are well!

@davebuckman8841 Год назад

Why ruin the saloon with a dining table when you have one below and one in the cockpit a coffee table in the saloon would be much more inviting 21:04

@derjaeger3321 2 месяца назад

Prior to engine start I would want to go into the mechanical compartment, check the oil, bilge and other safety checks. Nice boat, I am an American but really like the British cruiser brands - Princess, Sunseeker and Fairline. Pearls are ok too but they are made off-shore so I do not consider them British. I enjoy your videos, as they are a a bit different from the run of the mill boat videos.

@Boatscouk 2 месяца назад

Thank you - I try and mix fun with facts 😀

@weaklin Год назад

Always enjoy your videos and appreciate your perspective. I am a little confused how you calculate depreciation. Assuming 0 as you suggested that would mean you could resale the boat privately for 850. But if you were to trade it in against another boat, what could you reasonably expect?

@Boatscouk Год назад

Yes depreciation always excludes brokers fees or works required . I will make that clear next time. If trading in - we would normally deduct these fees but retail value stays same if I state depreciation as £0 😎

@Thjonsson1 Год назад

What a great looking boat! Looks big for being 45 ft! IMO it looks better than the new updated princess v50! But why have the navigation screen on the right side? So far away from the driver seat?

@Boatscouk Год назад

For co pilot

@timessix8434 Год назад

You don’t have to hold the start button in. Just press once, release and the engine will crank until it starts.

@Boatscouk Год назад

@sirmurf Год назад

Had a tour at SIBS. Lovely boat, but the header rail on the windscreen is a bit low.

@bbqreunie984 Год назад

Thinking about a Azimut Atlantis 45 a Fairline 45 seems to have more deck space. Wonder wich one brings most reliability and quality?

@Boatscouk Год назад

I am slightly biased but Targa 45 wins on both those points and residual value too which is nice to know 👌

@gasman4451 Год назад

The top screen rail on all these hard top targa’s is really thick and makes forward view when helming really poor ,and with the side windows they don’t give a lot of ventilation in the med ….. on those IPs drive boats it’s always worth checking the exhaust connections onto the pod wouldn’t want another T45 sinking 😳. I’ll stick with my “old” targa 52 open thanks.

@Boatscouk Год назад

T52 is great boat but you wouldn’t believe how quiet and smooth new T45GT is. You would also appreciate the fuel use- its way less than T52 - new boats aren’t all bad you know 😎

@Paulo.Mourao Год назад

What I find funny, besides you of course, is the 849.950… I mean you give me 50 quid back, hehe… Anyways, love your videos ! Cheers !

@Mr_DXB-kt5di Год назад

Are all these costs the same if the boat is berthed in Cala D'Or?

@Boatscouk Год назад

Nearly but the berth in Calador will be circa 30k

@canjialeksander1973 Год назад

James great video as always, but why exaggerate the prices? You had the same boat model on your channel last year with a starting price of 690000 where you said that these models are usually upgraded with 100000 making a total of 790000. And now after a year and 95 hours of work is 850000? Well, this is ridiculous to say the least.

@Boatscouk Год назад

Hi Alex - one without vat and one with vat . About 20%- we sell either way depending on location. 😊

@biglee6664 Год назад

@faithracer2156 Год назад

It's a shame that it's IPS, I would never consider anything but straight shafts (or V of course) and there are too many IPS only boats - especially in my range (45 - 55'). I don't believe space is a reason, it's people not learning to drive proper and think they get so much more. You do get more, more costs!

@Boatscouk Год назад

IPs gives you space, economy and ease of use.

@muckshifter Год назад

@baddatfpv8803 Год назад

im a fully qualified mechanical engineer with almost half a century of practical and design experience. I could half the annual servicing cost and still provide value for money. I really should move down to the South coast. 8K is almost 3 times what I payed for my 3 bed detached bungalow in Wakefield, West Yorkshire. admittedly this was 1974 but bugger me 8K for an annual service. A good mechanic could make a good living, don't think I've got the bare faced cheek to take advantage of people like that even if they obviously have more money than brain cells and sense.

@Boatscouk Год назад

Remember that £8k is over 5 ‘ engines’ 2 engines, 2 IPs drives and a generator . Take the vat off and that is £1,300 per unit. Parts must be a few hundred quid, then travelling , then lifts and all starts to add up but I agree it’s a lot !

@clifbradley Год назад

You know who should buy this boat? Bloody Nick 'Aquaholic' Burnham! And if that bloody tosser days he can't afford it, he's straight karking lying! He's the most damn popular Yachttuber on here! and he has 2 channels! If Nautistyles is bloody buying a multi-million dollar yacht they supposedly didn't get a discount on (raise your hand if you believe that). Then he can afford a bloody Targa GT! (I'm American obviously and don't know British slang that well, but you get the jist). Just kidding. I don't think Nick has enough time to actually enjoy a yacht like this.

@Boatscouk Год назад

Crikey Cliff - I am not sure if you are angry or happy writing this but either way - Nick does not need to buy a boat like this - he can borrow my one anytime 😂

Don’t like the wife comment! It’s common courtesy to discuss such a big investment with your wife. My wife would ask me how we are going to finance this purchase and discuss the pros and cons. I see that as a healthy relationship and working as a team. I see it as a unhealthy relationship if I just go ahead and buy the boat without any discussion. Come on James! It’s 2023! Not the 1800s!
