next week, I will mostly be...
Discussion
What is it, a San lorenzo, early Mangusta or early Ferretti.
Either way its Italian so will probably break down within 2 days
At a guess either the watermaker will pack up, an engine will overheat or the generator will give up......
Didnt want to spoil your vacation but you've just spoilt my humdrum day

Falls off chair laughing like a babboon........................ Sorry about that, just got back to my chair, the tears are still running down my legs.
Anyway you were saying something about working hard
Wow! I thought you were lying! I was showing a colleague the picture of the frog on your profile and he pissed himself when he saw 'yacht broker'.
Does that meen that deepseatiger might really be 'a part time shepherd in Venice and pie taster', or lotustuart's full time occupation is 'good screw'?
Do you get many bullshitters who pretend to be interested in buying but with no real intention other than a free boat trip?
I knew a guy once who was a bit of a 'gopher' for some flash 'business man'. He used to chauffeur him in a MEGA expensive Merc. When he was away, he used to drive to prestige car dealerships in the expensive suits his boss used to dress him in and test drive anything he wanted without questions. He took it one step further and started viewing multi-million pound houses. When you go looking at houses like that, the estate agent organises a chef and allsorts. His boss found out when someone smelled a rat and managed to trace him back to him. He soon got his marching orders!

yacht brokerage is a fairly common pastime in these parts...!... no reason to lie... it's not as if i own a yacht like that (mine own yacht is a little smaller!)...Does that meen that deepseatiger might really be 'a part time shepherd in Venice and pie taster', or lotustuart's full time occupation is 'good screw'?

as for time-wasters... this is an issue for agents dealing with new build yachts, but i specialise in the quality end of the brokerage market and the general form is that before you go for a jolly day-trip, i'll have a signed contract (subject to seatrial etc) and a 10% deposit...
sure there will always be bullshitters out there, but you would be amazed how few when compared with the car market etc...
...
as for the yacht itself, the Elegance is built by Horizon in Taiwan (don't joke... the Taiwanese-built yachts are held in high regard) and marketed as Elegance in Europe by the Germany company Drettman. They are comparable in terms of quality and price with San Lorenzo, Riva, Ferretti etc etc... this particular example is from 2002 and is offered at a smidge under Euro 2 million.
... i do deal with smaller yachts as well!
I know the Horizons very well, not a bad yacht. Drove quite a few out in the Caribbean. I presume the electrics have improved over the last few years ?
Same quality as San Lorenzo, unlikely, Italian yachts are a different ball game. Not saying San Lorenzo are any good, just the building ethics are completely different in Italy, as they are in Holland, US and Japan.
Built a Mangusta 92 in viareggio so had a very good insight of the Italian 'workmanship'.
