£150,000 Yacht Tour : 2001 Fairline Targa 43

Thanks Nick, great video. One we’ve been waiting for as we’ve got a 2004 targa 43 (also in Poole as it happens). To add some info to answer some questions in other comments: Speed - ours has later Volvo Penta TAMD75P so 480hp each, and we got 37kts earlier this season. It’s a great solid boat with a decent turn of pace (not quite as quick or fun to helm as our previous 2005 Targa 34 with KAD 300’s but certainly a better sea boat). Original cost - our original b a peters plc invoice was £285k in late 2003 for 2004 delivery. Differences on ours are that we have the griddle fitted, an onan generator under the garage floor, plus the later targa 43’s garage door is modified to lift centre of bathing platform (ours had a Williams 285, now has a Brig 300 with a Suzuki 20hp outboard. We’ve got air con as well as eberspacher too. We have upgraded upholstery to modern silvertex, newer steering wheel, latest fusion stereo, underwater lights, etc - all of which has modernised elements and kept it fresh. Ours is build no. 283 and was quite a late one so I guess they made just over 300.

Still admiring your unbridled enthusiasm for boats in every video ... 5 years of great work. Oh and £150,000 seems a bargain for this Targa.

Things were Thought about more back then. The style of this boat It's still today cool and functional.

Anyone else watch these videos to help sleep? Your voice is incredibly calming.

I’ll tell ya, this boat feels much more like a 50’+ boat, and not a 43 footer. Also hard to believe it’s 20 years old. Not only did the design hold up really well, but it’s an exceptional condition……clearly she has been meticulously maintained. Very impressive! Never considered buying a 20 year old boat (for obvious reasons) but with this baby I’d make an exception!

Hi Nick. This ticks all the boxes. Dark blue hull, tons of social spaces, immaculate condition throughout, stunning lines, garage, dedicated cabins, and even a Hobbits Elf in the galley? Amazing boat for 150k. Great Sunday afternoon video walkthrough Thanks 😊

A testament to the quality of these boats, still looking good and stylish today. Who wouldn’t be happy with a boat like this, nice looking boat. Great tour as always.

The Fairline Targa - whatever the number - is my favourite boat. So gorgeous and perfect for families.

I'm not usually a fan of the smaller boats, but this is one I really like and could happily live with. Great value considering the condition.

This could be "Smuggler's Blues 4" maybe? I could see you and yours out cruising and enjoying life on this one. Top quality show again, Nick! Cheers!

Again with the thumbs down????? Great tour of what for a 20 year old boat is amazing. Well looked after by it’s previous/current owner. Couldn’t really fault it. Have a great rest of the weekend. I’m recovering from a night out with pals.

Does anyone else just watch the same videos over and over again. I always go back to the start and watch them all again. This , for the money , has to be my favourite ( affordable )

Lotta bang for you buck on that one. Lots of space. Love the curved, glossy woodwork downstairs!

This was the boat of my dreams when I was about 15 and saw ads for it in a boating magazine. Thanks for the tour Nick!

She is gorgeous. I love all the wood inside. Its just so stylish , with a better overall look than some bigger boats. For her size the space you have is just brilliant. A big plus, a place where you can read a good book. Thank you for bringing this video of her to us

The onsuit head and the boat garage was a super nice touch! Feels like a mutch bigger boat

Good lines, and obviously very well maintained. Usually with a 10+ yr old boat you'll start to see the cushions that are exposed to the elements start to turn green, but not so here (except for the ones in the garage). Flooring, woodwork etc. is all in really good shape. Quite a nice boat! Thanks for the tour!

There is a remarkable amount room below deck on this boat and well maintained. Love it! Thanks for sharing Nick.

Lovely boat with a well thought out interior and lovely flowing lines. Typical Fairline woodwork as well, quite a lot of boat for the money and good looking too.

This is a lovely boat and from experience, a good sea boat in the UK, an important point for buyers is running costs especially mooring charges, most marinas have a price step around 45 ft which this boat nicely drops under also being shaft drive maintenance is cheaper as no expensive outdrives to service every other year. Thankyou for the video Nick. :)
