[QUOTE=Nos4r2;277823] I never had a Searider with side by side seating-my 4m was originally like that but the seats were missing when I bought it.
I did have a 13' speedboat that had identical seating though. It was horribly cramped and difficult to get in and out of.

cheers nos....I think your right...temptation over....jockey seat it is.

I don't know what deals there are, but according to the MBY reprint I picked up it starts at £130k inc VAT, and the "as tested" price was £150k.

The Paragon website is worth a look to see the boats and video clips.

If you look at the website they are about to launch a 43, which although it will be VERY pricy should be VERY nice too.

Very much so, but I'm more a fan of Danny Kaye, where as you obviously prefer Hans Christian Andersen. Mind you, it is only a story, so we could also go for The King's New Turban (Turkey) or The Invisible Silk Robe (Sri Lanka).

That's because you're old and I am young!

I went along last night after work (mainly to grab a Guiness )

It was a bit like going on holiday in Morocco if you stoppped or made eye contact with any of the people on the stands you were done for.

What was good this year is that the Fairline and Sunseeker stands were a lot more open to the great unwashed and I had a look round a couple of those behemouths. Perhaps they are now looking at SubPrime in boat ownership terms.
