Hey Rob, nice to see you doing reviews on these boats. Targa and Sargo or the SUV's of northern Europe. It's great to see that Cardinal sized the battery bank and usage to the engine generators. It's the way to go rather than adding a standalone generator. Targa makes a beautiful well well-thought-out boat. Keep em' coming buddy.
Beautiful boat. I'd want a second helm seat for a navigator, a second nav chart plotter for that navigator, a generator, a redundant heating system, a heat pump for AC, a roof mounted dingy with a davit arm, semi commercial fully articulated powerhead and omni directional rollers, and extended aft roof for foul weather and a gyroscopic stabilizer.
Thank you for the thorough review of a great boat. Love Targa boats, they are thoughtfully designed, and great for weekend getaways. Why do Targa's and Sargo's boats seem so similar - both clean Scandinavian (Finland) designed?
It was sure great having Matt there. He knows the ins and outs of the Targa line. Targa and Sargo are definitely separate companies but they sure share some similarities.

Thanks as always Duncan. We could easily disappear on this thing for the summer. So much fun man!

Beautiful boat, ~ price as tested?
Thank you! $1,280,000 at Cardinal Yacht Sales in Bellingham
So does that Boat have a Hard Point ACM mount? And if not, WHY? IT SHOULD HAVE 2.

It may be everything mentioned but beautiful...no
Liters per nautical mile?
.8 gallon
You’re gonna make me do math….nooo 😂. I ran it through a converter and it looks like 3.4 liters per NM
@live2boat thanks for that 😉
