I took a sunseeker style power boat out for a spin with a few mates last week.

This craft was apparently getting on for 3/4 of a million sterling. Bit of a joke really when you look at how it's made - a huge plastic bath tub filled with tat - exposed bolt threads, chemical toilet, rover-esq fake plastic wood dash, diesel lorry engines, etc.

They clearly spend far more marketing than manufacturing them. To part with this much cash their owners are clearly 'nice but dim' types. The boat yards must be making an absolute fortune punting these on. Each sale is like a lottery win. I'm in the wrong game hehe

We were on a large Fairline Targa. It looked pretty much like the sunseekers we were next to.

The only boats I've seen that look stunning are made by Wally. Not suprising, looking at the retail prices. I guessed the 118 would be around £4m. That was £10m short!

The old Riva Aquarama is the DB5 of the waves. Trouble is it's a bit petite for group outings. Mind you, at least it makes most others look like B&Q bathtubs.
