£450,000 Fairline Targa 50GT - Why did this boat sell so quickly?

[@easybigun7825]

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

[@Boatscouk]

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

[@johningham4942]

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]

I don’t know the long words 😂

[@constantineding8700]

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]

I love sock sofas 😉

[@patriciab3739]

Another brilliant Vlog James - great boat for 10 yrs.... Fairline one of my favourites ..keep them coming, thanks for sharing...your humour makes the viewings even more enjoyable :)

[@Boatscouk]

Ah thank you 🙏

[@kevinbanham2429]

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]

Avoid the icemaker 😂

[@raymondmilburn-hughes7945]

Love your videos your pros and cons of the boats you tour , and the way you explain with that sense of humour brilliant . Don't stop .

[@Boatscouk]

Ah thanks Raymond

[@andrewfox1426]

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

[@Boatscouk]

Yes a really well made boat 👌

[@blewyd]

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]

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

[@richmiller2501]

Nice !!!!! and when you stepped on the windless it should not have been beeped out hahahhah

[@Boatscouk]

Made me jump !

[@raymondmalone9721]

Great video , love the no nonsense approach and the humour mixed in 👍🏻

[@Boatscouk]

Thanks Raymond 👍🏻

[@davidantill6949]

I likes the double Barke windows :)

[@martinbirdiebrain1912]

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 😂

[@stevemills99]

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

[@Boatscouk]

Really shocked me 😂

[@brianunderwood3109]

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 😂😂😂

[@Boatscouk]

It does get me in trouble 😂

[@busterevetts1864]

Excellent again... You are the man.. Enjoy your videos so much..

[@carrington2158]

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.

[@julesforsyth2996]

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

[@Boatscouk]

Ah thanks Jules - you gotta have fun 🤩

[@Nick_G7IZR]

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]

I will film some cheaper boats for you 👍🏻

[@shoutout.kokain8713]

New subscriber! going to love watching your channel grow.

[@Boatscouk]

Thanks Kane 👍🏻

[@Toby_the_Glen]

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

[@brandywell44]

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

[@Boatscouk]

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

[@simonsterle]

I love your videos !!! c Cheers from Germany

[@Boatscouk]

Thanks Simon. See you in January at the Dusseldorf show 👌

[@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]

And sell boats 🥳

[@ColinWhite-d6v]

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]

Ready when you are 🥳

[@jaffaholland4039]

Love it, great video again, you make me laugh. can't imagine anyone using the crew cabin as you say.

[@Boatscouk]

Good for a wine store 👌

[@craigbrown9574]

I have always liked targas. What boat do you have now James?

[@Boatscouk]

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

[@kataroquasinzki7383]

Because its salesman is a certain Jim Barke? No mystery there! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@Boatscouk]

😂😂

[@jakoflynn2560]

Very functional and good gags mate socks 🧦

[@Boatscouk]

I have some better ones 😂

[@mortenhjornevik2850]

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]

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

[@genericusername2177]

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.

[@Boatscouk]

I was breathing in 😂

[@andrewryder9642]

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 !

[@michaelmcgowan937]

Love the videos, so funny too

[@Boatscouk]

Thanks Mike 🥳

[@neilwharton720]

Love your comedy videos 😂😂😂especially the engine room ladder👌

[@Boatscouk]

That made my jump 😂

[@lordmanorhouse2817]

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]

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

[@ramonrodriguez6692]

There is 1 (Spanish language) video of the latest gen Targa 50 on you tube!!!!!! Has it not been a popular boat for Fairline???

[@richardsedorski1206]

Great vid you are a great salesperson could watch for hours you must meet very interesting rich people.👍👍👍

[@Boatscouk]

We meet some characters 😂

[@lawrencefoster2120]

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

[@slimjim2526]

Nice boat 👍 what was the cost new ?

[@Boatscouk]

About £600k

[@davidhill431]

I swear I saw you in a stunning rs cosworth today 😍

[@Boatscouk]

Yes I took my brothers Sierra Cosworth out for a spin 🥳

[@jeanmarais9811]

Good on you James - and here's your favourite question. How much does it drink?

[@Boatscouk]

Loads ! 😂

[@wingcommanderdaltonwalton67]

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?

[@Boatscouk]

Weekly 😂

[@damirbajic4579]

😅 That f... was amazing. It is not impeccable any more😂😂😂😂

[@RobEJC]

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!

[@Boatscouk]

😂

[@robinmumby9287]

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

[@Boatscouk]

Yes - my wife 😂

[@johnmay784]

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 😆 😂 🤣 😅 💀

[@Boatscouk]

Really ? You are a glutton for punishment John 😂

[@Millie-md4jk]

Still cracking as an ownership proposition

[@Boatscouk]

Great boat

[@neilwharton720]

Shame it was to windy, it would have blown away all the wd40 that would have got rid of all those squeaking noises 🤫🤫🤫

[@keithhughes2104]

Liquid lunch James?

[@Boatscouk]

Always 😂🍻

[@josemarinas2143]

All i can say you need lessons in presentation James leave it to people that know what hey are talking about

[@Boatscouk]

Yes I agree. Can you help ?
