I like what the cup was doing from 1992 till 2007, now its practically going down hill. Not much amusement in these races in my book.... Will be...
Fairline changed the 44 from IPS to stern drive because it was cheaper to build in the stern drive, and with this it came competitive with other...
The 50 Squadron and Targa GT are only shaft boats, but Fairline has just launched a new 48 series with IPS pods (50ft LOA). This is Fairline...
Have to disagree totally with you about Absolute, as the ones I visited had joinery which was to the level of Fairline. Thin hull, are you sure...
Given the chance on a 15 meters size, I would always go for an IPS II option, or for a larger choice engine which reaches that 32/33 knots max. A...
In that list I would put Sessa, Absolute in the top boats, especially Absolute who for IPS have a winning hull who has little comparison in my...
Yes the 50 Phantom by Fairline is one of there best recent boats in my book. Amazing stuff, nice ride, and the usuall quality that comes with...
hah Pastizzi r good Rikotta or Pizelli (Peas) I like them mixed 2 and 2. As for Azimut short comings in my experience to what I have seen many EU...
Fairline is definitly on another level versus Prestige.... Also heard not so many nice reports on the recent Prestige builds, Beneteau Group...

Drove it and loved it! I think Baia's are among the best Arneson surface drives performers. History says the Baia B50 designed by Don Aronow...
I agreed with Capt J, hard top with outriggers is the way a Sportfish looks nice in my book. The sportfish is a slow evolving boat, actually...
There is alternative drives to Volvo IPS or ZF Zeus pods coming from a manufecterer in Germany, cant remember the name. Anyways these pods where...
I sold a few of the smaller models in the past 62 (sds), 54 (shafts and surface drives), and 43 (with shafts) and I think survery wise they had...

Are you sure it was just paint. 3.5 knots seems a lot to me. Was other work being carried out at the same time. New injectors to engine, prop...
I would do the seatrial choice! First if you do not buy it you would be very conscious on this decision. Second you have a taste of the 510 vs...
There was a runour in the middle of the past decade that Azimut was very much interested in buying Hatteras. Then things never sort of happened,...
I think the only company that try to put on evolution back to SF is the Ferretti Group owned Bertram. Bertram has introduced some more motor...
