The Fairline Targa 44GT was only made for 4 years, which is a bit odd as this boat tours shows, it is a cracking boat with lots to love. We go through the key features of the boat as well as explaining the running costs.
Note: Targa 44 Retail Values in the UK in Oct 22 vary from £200k to £250k depending on specification and condition.
Thanks to Parker Adams for suppling additional footage.

I Think the extension ram on the Passarelleus Erectus device had a right old kink in it. Possibly a bit of a swell while moored stern-to gave it quite a shunt . It usually takes a good bang to do that. Look a bit deeper than the ram, there could be some collateral damage further in. Ouch, expensive.

Another informative tour James of a Fairline Targa GT and for a boat of this age it's in tip top condition.

@alanpotter3863 Год назад

And thankfully you have those cloven hooves covered up😉😉 Good to see you back

@brianunderwood3109 Год назад

Always enjoy your videos. I give the socks a 2/10 and the Fairline a 8/10. Not a bad price for a boat of that size and quality. Although I wish it had a shout window. Oh well. Another great job! Thank you.

Glad to see you're back! I'm really warming up to the Fairlines...when I wake up a millionaire, one will be mine. I'm especially thankful for the costs breakdown and like how you sum things up on a per annum basis; too often I see things sold with a "low monthly cost!" (like subscription services - Netflix, etc.) and no one realizes the real yearly cost...showing the bottom line costs is great!

I've missed these blogs, have you stopped doing them weekly ? Great fun tour, very informative and very honest. You've been missed, the boat show was the last one I think.

Yes - we film one every 3 weeks ish - day job gets in the way 😂

i came across your channel and the fact that i benched watched almost all of them speaks volume on how good they are. I love the contents and the detailed reviews. However, i have noticed that the video exposure is to high that some of the clips aren't visible when there's sunshine, can you pls work on how to improve the exposure of the video. Anyway, i love your videos

@Boatscouk Год назад

Ah thank you - yes we are trying to fix it. Thanks for your nice comments . New video this Thursday !

Well.... if nothing else James, you've told us why these were only sold for 4 years. Everything broke. And.... doesn't that passerelle completely stuff the bathing platform....? There's a lesson here.... manual is best. :)

another gt and very interesting detailed video but could you please turn up your mic volume as your hard to hear thx i have pressed like anyway despite the low volume

@Boatscouk Год назад

Will sort

@davedavids9619 Год назад

Great tour and boat looks really good for a 13 year old boat that has been out in the weather. What is the fuel load on this particular model, in other words what range would you be looking at ?

@Boatscouk Год назад

250 nm 😊

@olivernilsson1289 Год назад

James - I’ve asked Nick in the comment section but never got an answer. Why is the area at the stern of the boat called the “cockpit?”. Being a commercial pilot it is rather interesting to know. BR, Oliver

@Boatscouk Год назад

I don’t know either

@lovelifeloveboat Год назад

Nearly missed this thanks to the RU-vid 'unsubscribing' poltergeist! The 44GT has always been a favourite of mine, it always seemed so much larger than other boats of a similar size. I believe they actually made at least one that was not IPS - Is that correct? Only I seem to remember seeing one for sale circa 5 yrs ago without - Or am I drinking too much tequila and dreaming it up? Another great video James!!

@PowerYacht Год назад

They modified it as stern drive boat in the fall of 2009, to then remove the IPS option at the end of 2010 and produce it as a stern drive boat only till 2011. www.poweryachtblog.com/2009/10/improve-it-fairline-44-targa-gran.html

@lovelifeloveboat Год назад

@@PowerYacht Brilliant, thank you, I was beginning to think my memory had failed me!!! Great boat.. saw one with a twin helm seat modification - that was the only piece that looked a little out of place, but otherwise, if life hadn't got in the way, circa 2013 , a Targa 44 would have been the next boat without a doubt!

@Boatscouk Год назад

Yes they did make an out drive version for one year in 2011 I think - good boat too !

@lovelifeloveboat Год назад

@@Boatscouk I think now, given the cost of IPS servicing, it would be the 'one to have' Was there much of a performance difference can you remember?

@Boatscouk Год назад

@forresthoward5868 Год назад

Do you get many buyers from USA 🇺🇸? If so, how much to ship it, or even better could this boat make it across the Atlantic?

@Boatscouk Год назад

We get a few US buyers. Shipping is about £30,000 and we need to change the voltage on the boat from 220v to 110v which varies in cost - sometimes we have to make changes for US coastguard regs too 🤩

@diggs345lr Год назад

Thats a lot of boat for the money , about 100k more than I will have to spend though

@noahark3810 7 месяцев назад

Yes no problem- price varies but few hundred quid per chip/ area

@tonyp011 Год назад

why are the ice makers a waste of time? i don't see what you have against them as you keep repeating this, if they were a waste of time, space and energy then the boat designers and builders wouldn't bother installing them

@Boatscouk Год назад

Because they don’t use the boats 😊 ice makers have a high failure rate and the ice tastes awful as it uses the boats water tank. Buy a £2 ice bag from shop. Never goes wrong and tastes great 😊

@offshore.anglers Год назад

Superb quality i agree. Are the open backed boats more popular than what i would think are more popular for the uk - boats with cockpit back doors ? And yes that paserelle ram did get a right whack at one point I'd say !
