What is the Tuscan of the boat world?

[Avalanche]

I want a fast, good looking, reliable, inexpensive motorboat.
(to carry 6 with a cabin)

Any ideas?

Cheers!

I think that sort of stretches the definition of 'inexpensive', though.

A ferry!

Ok it doesnt go where you want, but it does have shed loads of accomodation! and you only pay when you use it!

TRY; boats and outboards.There's a couple on there. I looked at them a few times will get there in the end,just cant justify one in the north ease of England and fuel prices at the moment.Should of charter one in Malaysia, cant over here for insurance reasons.
They do a rib version now. Its the 34 or 35 i will buy eventually.
Also broke the round Britain record. WKD toy

The Tuscan of boats wouldn't take 6, or have a cabin!

Are you looking to sleep 6, or just have a wee cuddy cabin? Sleeping 6 and going fast is not going to be cheap, but something with a small cabin might be doable. For example : http://www.boatsandoutboards.co.uk/view/F206404

that's probably it Fume Troll!
I thought of saying that meself Oily nails
But that Bladerunner - wow! wow! wow! How much I wonder....

I have a Revenger San Marino with an 8.2 litre chevy with straight through exhausts. I claim this as the Tuscan of the sea as it's Glassfibre, not particularly spacious, fast, very noisy and I manage to blow the engine to pieces every 50 hours

[TimJMS]

Here you go - fast, cheap(ish) and sleeps 6 in comfort

Google "bladerunner for sale"

I found a couple for £75k, I reckon that's pretty amazing value.

sweet. i'm thinking that the Miami Vice "Wellcraft Scarab" might be the Tuscn of the boatworld though - cheap, good looking, fast, rocking - see this example!:

brilliant. i am trying to sort out importing one to Switzerland, but seems the engine has to be younger than 2001 in order to conform to EU standards etc.
