Pershing 56

[Waugh-terfall]

Just, wow. Spent the evening sitting in a bar in Port Solent looking down over one of these beasts.

Absolutely stunning from every angle and an impressive spec too. I'd best get saving...

Twin 1360hp MAN CRM V12 Diesels, not quite 1/2 a nautical mile to the gallon.

Anyone on PH got one, and might consider taking me for a ride, please?! Anyone know of 'Hooligan -Southampton'?

I was reading the Mega Supplement to Yachting Monthly last night and just can't get my head around the S/Y Vertigo



Awesome.

Very Awsome, but a tad more expensive than the Pershing though I'd have thought.

I saw a Pershing 75 in Port Solent a while ago that I love, I think it costs about £2.5m, so I was short by...........£2.455m

Is the Pershing 75 the black one down at Port Solent?

Yeah, Black and Silvery/Grey. Gorgeous isn't it?

[Waugh-terfall]

It might be the 56 Jonny, I guess they look the same but the 75 is bigger? Where's the 75 kept, the 56 was in front of Weatherspoons/Lloyds and Pizza Express.

Thought it was that, in the corner of the Marina?

The last time I saw the 75 it was just along from the Mermaid, towards the corner entrance to Port Solent. Sometimes there's an old sail barge there, the 75 was the next berth along from where the sail barge used to go.

About 2 or 3 berths in from the actual corner you mention JohnnyFive.

The 75 is 19 feet longer, the one you posted seems to be white and black, the 75 I saw was more black with Silvery grey bits.

Indeed. Unfortunately it would require a Euro-millions roll over to afford it though.

Aaah, I take it the 75 is at the other end? The 56 is in the corner next to the pedestrian entrance to the Boardwalk.

The 75 when it is there is normally at the right hand end of that row, towards the Mermaid pub.

They're both gorgeous boats though and both something which I will only ever possess in my dreams unfortuntely.

Used to work for Marina Marbella when they had the Pershing dealership and there an amazing boat, puts a Sunseker to shame.

Will all ways remember the first time i had the chance to see one we were manual handling it on the the pontoon an SBS, we then had a message the Twin towers were hit and all dropped the mooring lines but quickly picked them up!

Cant beat the rooster Arnesons give out.

My favorite Pershing the 115

Ah, I think that may be at the old VT yard in Portchester (literally, just round the corner from me).

That is awsome, now I feel hugely in-adequate!! LOL What jobs must people have that enable them to afford such toys?

[Streetrod]

I must admit I did not realise that Pershing's came with "Warp Drive"

For some reason I just think this is cool, or is this the boat equivalent of "Chav"
