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.
That's fantastic, thank you! If you fancy doing a Meet The Owner, drop me a line through my web site (quick Google of my name should find it) 🙂
@@AQUAHOLIC haha, may take you up on that!
Just some more info in case anyone is interested in an owners view:
The circular cockpit seating is ok but designers could have used the space better - it lacks a corner to relax into (with a good book 🤣) and the placement of griddle could have been better for more forward seating (the little seat on the griddle side is not that comfortable on a journey).
Fuel consumption pretty decent at about 80-90 litres p/hr at 22- 25kts. Certainly much better than friends with targa 47’s with d9 575’s and MUCH better than targa 52 with d12 715’s (not far off twice as efficient).
Price - the one advertised at £150k is a reflection of the market - ours, including all improvements we have made since purchasing in 2018, owes us less than that and is much later boat with largest engine option, and all options ticked and dare I say in much better condition. We could have bought a similar age targa 43 with TAMD63’s, like the one advertised 5 years ago for sub £100k. Supply and demand I guess!!
Our problem is finding what boat to move up to (trying to stick with shaft drive sports cruisers) - Fairline targa 47, Princess V48, Sunseeker Portofino 46/47 all appeal and have benefit of a hard top, but a good late-ish version of each one is probably twice the price of our 2004 Targa 43 which I can’t quite equate. That’s possibly why so few Targa 43’s are ever on the market in the UK. Shame the Targa 44 hardtop is IPS only and has no tender garage, as it otherwise has some plus points (much better cockpit).
Hi Ali, not sure if you get this ... but what do you spend a weekend out with the boat on sea, roughly? I'm really considering something like this to actually live on for a while - just store my stuff in a storage box, turn the guest room into my home office and travel a bit.
Can you fit a small jet ski in the garage area
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.
That for 150k?? Consider it sold...
smugglers blues 3?
Things were Thought about more back then. The style of this boat It's still today cool and functional.
I think the big difference is that accommodation sells boats, so today's boats are often very accommodation biased.
Can someone define for me Nick’s term “accommodation”?
I don’t get the meaning in this context, Thanks!
@@chasbodaniels1744 so better sleeping and lounging areas so you can spend more time on the boat. More head room in the bedrooms, spacier bathrooms with seperate showers, full kitchens with bars etc.
Lovely boat. Classic lines don't really date, I think some boats built today are going to date badly.
Everything was round in the 2000s
It's important to watch every video
For the mental health yeah.
Wow !!! Now this is Just Superb …. I’m sure it has my Name on it …. this is Exactly what i’ve been looking for … Just needs the BBQ Grill fitted and probably a Generator … But Absolutely Love it …. Great job Nick some more vids like this if boats around 100k would be just Awesome !! 👍😎❤️
Very nicely priced. Not much needing doing to it to make 21st century. Presumably a new version of the MFD, perhaps the couch cushions can do with a reskin. As you say perhaps put a BBQ in. I'd also replace that bar of Imperial Leather with a more modern soap.
EDIT: that engine room can could with a proper scrub.
Seems almost affordable and another great video. Do you have any plans to do a video about how marine finance works for buying one of these beauties?
Not at the moment, it's not something I know much about.
@@AQUAHOLIC Any possible collaborations to make this possible? Maybe a "meet the financier" special with an "ask me anything" as well!
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 😊
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.
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!
Very pretty yacht. Not crazy about the cherry wood
But I could live on it. Thank you Nick.
My pleasure!
I love the classic cherry in some of these older boats. So much more class than the newer gray and mirrors in newer ones.
I agree. Not such a fan of the high gloss dark cherry wood finish. However, some of the new(ish) interior finishes are a bit underwhelming as well to be fair. Give me a black Ash or light oak finish and I'm a happy camper.
Anyone else watch these videos to help sleep? Your voice is incredibly calming.
😆🤣 ah that made me chuckle, cheers 👍😁
Wow that boat is fantastic, it's a beautiful shape and I love the cherry wood inside, you would never think it was 20years old it's a dream machine, (my dream) thank you nick fantastic video 👍🛥
Glad you enjoyed it
As the owner of a quite old 26 foot midcabin boat and really liking the layout (sort of similar to Nicks Jeanneu, but much older), this one would be a dream to upgrade to. Alas, the wallet is not as appreciative. But maybe in the future, who knows.
I know the feeling...
Great condition, great boat, great value! SB3?…. One day I’ll ask and low and behold SB3 will appear! 😆
Me: “I wonder if theres a passerelle”
Nick: “here’s some broom storage”
Looks like there were built in rails to take a paserell rather than a bexbisell storage
What the heck am I supposed to do if I want to park stern first when I'm cruising around the Med?
Walk the plank 💪🏻
@@zzanatos2001
If you put a scaffold plank in the locker you could use that! Walk the plank!
Plus if there’s a catastrophe and the boats sinking you got a plank to sit on like a paddle board
@@Yorkshiremadmick Do you know why pirates never take showers before walking the plank?
They'll just wash up on shore later.
Great layout. Only dislike is the engine access.
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. :)
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!
Imagine if you threw an extra £5K - £10K at her too to modernise the chart/nav gear, perhaps new carpets, soft furnishing & a few touches here & there... she is fabulous now but you could lift her off the charts!!! 😍
Can you handle this boat as a single person?
@@snois2 it depends on how much free time u have, but of course u can
Total lenght is almost 14 meters, so it's really a 45-footer. (43 plus bathing platform, maybe?) Had one for a few years. Brilliant boat and nice to work on and improve since everything onboard is high quality. The only downside for me was the curved sofas. It's not easy for a tall person to find a place to lie down for a rest.
Not sure how you come to this conclusion, I would watch the video again, as I have said in a comment the engine area and engines are very dirty with corrosion, before you say its a 20 year old boat with the greatest respect that is not an excuse.
I do rather like this boat. As a larger guy though, the engine spaces seem to be slightly better for a smaller person. 🤔
And thank you Nick for this nice show of the Fairline Targa 43, what a space you have with the targa's always in the accomodation its surprise me again
I think you need to upgrade smugglers blues 2 to a boat this size since your channel is all about yachts
I’d love one. I think I’d just live on it full time and cruise around the worlds nicest untouched coastlines. Eating freshly caught fish everyday. What a life. ❤
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 onsuit head and the boat garage was a super nice touch! Feels like a mutch bigger boat
Lovely boat, reminds me of a Sunseeker Superhawk, if cherrywood is a bit too much you can get the wood wrapped/covered in film, to lighten the interior. It’s a lot of boat for the money, excellent coverage, Nick. 👍
A lot of boat for not much money. I love the woodwork. Very classy all round. Some lucky buyer will get a bargain here imo.
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.
Cracking boat! I assume the boathook storage could accommodate a letterbox passeral if needed.
I do wonder if Fairline have ever built a boat that was ugly, I don't think any Fairline I've ever seen could be described as anything less than pretty and most are beautiful. Anyone suggest any candidates?
I'm guessing that's space for a letterbox passerelle
she was obviously definitely refitted
or maybe fairline makes damn durable boats
Great looking boat and a heck of a lot of boat for the money.
Good to see somewhere to “tuck yourself away with a good book” 😉
Could just see, Marianne and a couple of friends enjoying a weekend away on that! SB3??
That’s awesome, that Jack’s working on his suntan. Heheeeee.....
Having watched the video, now, I maintain that this is a fantastic boat, love the quality and the 39/40/43 size for a small family. Good value for the money. To get it perfect, I think an engine lift/full service could be in place. As always, dear Nick, thank you for the inspiration.
Amazing - that's a whole lot of boat for the money - the kind of deal that could twist my arm! 🙂
Lotta bang for you buck on that one. Lots of space. Love the curved, glossy woodwork downstairs!
Definitely the type of boat you could get away for a week or more on, great boat for someone wanting to start off on a budget....now where is my lottery ticket....?? May not be in line for Smugglers Blues III Nick but I think it would look great as Knocker I
Maybe its an English thing, but why does a "small" boat this size have two heads???? You could have one much bigger head with a nicer/larger shower, maybe more floor space in the lounge/galley area. All the nice, cute little brick "ranch" houses built in the late 40's/50's/60's had 3 bedrooms/1 bath and 1500sq ft vs 300sq ft on the inside of this boat.
Love it and I'm of the age where high gloss cherry joinery will never go out of fashion..one day!
You must have the patients of Job to not buy every 3rd boat you review. I was salivating a bit over this unit. Maybe that's how you scored smugglers....
It's more about lack of funds! 😄
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.
Hi Nick nice one and it doesn’t look particularly dated , everything seems to have been well looked after although the engine bay would benefit from a bit of a spruce up . No all in all I think it would just suet you sir ha ha 🤣 Best wishes and kind regards as always 👍👍
Wow if I had the money to be looking, this is what I'd want, absolutely spot on, nothing I would change, even the cd player. 👍🇬🇧❤️
Postscript: the boat to starboard looked interesting too.
Where I live in Berkshire, a 2 bed house is £250k, if lucky! More £300+ starting! That’s ($500+) for my friends over the pond. All that money to live in a grotty house with no land or privacy.
Living on a boat might be the future, in 20 years time they’re will be no more give. Both couple are already working and tapped out. Imagine boat flats! Old ocean liners etc.
I hope you have safe and good travels, jack the sack.
And of course, Maggie the Baggie.
Hi Nick, this is without a doubt one of the best Fairline's ever build due to her mid engine layout . I own nr122 (2001) in the South of France and i get often the question to sell the boat.
This model is still very popular and will stay so for many years to come.
Thanks for the video !
grtz from Belgium
Pulled another bunny out the hat with this boat Nick. Is there someone/where, IF possible, to get comparative purchase vs fuel, servicing and maint. running costs on 2 similar boats like these, one with TAMD vs D's. ie what's the breakeven point in buying cheaper older boat but higher running cost assuming everything else being roughly equal ? asking for a friend :-)
I’ve no interest in owning a boat but I love your reviews Nick, I’ve learned a fair bit since I started watching.
Glad you like them!
The Fairline Targa - whatever the number - is my favourite boat. So gorgeous and perfect for families.
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
fully agree, nice use of space - beautiful, stylish and practical! A boat which i would love to live on full-time
Can you do a tour of the Sunseeker Ocean 90!
think a sail boat might be better, the upkeep of this affordable power yacht would kill most people. I imagine the petrol alone to move abouts would kill you. Out of curiosity, how much does it cost to fill her up and how many miles does it last?
Is this Nick's new boat I wonder. Very nice boat and quite a bit for the bucks, thanks Nick
This boat FEELS like SB (just bigger with more amenities). I dig it! And Jacque, chin up, you’re a celebrity.
This is a very sexy boat.
Excellent tour as per always. Thank you, take care. 👍👍👍🚢🛥☠⛴🛳🏴☠️🚤⛵⚓😎
It was all going beautifully well untilhe said "and these are the fuel tanks ,one for each engine ".................(gulp)
Ah but that of doing learning thing hm I mean of right.,
Boat with out drink. Water. New 2021., Of me water. Ah for something. Wait I really did that
Love you aqua/motaholic/Nick!!
Lovely video Nick and a sure lovely boat that is,
keep them coming please.
take care
stay safe
5:50 that might be the smartest thing to do ever in boats
Another great tour of what is surely a reasonably priced boat. Looks to have been well cared for. Beautiful layout, as well. Thank you, Nick!
Glad you enjoyed it
It's a really amazing boat, we have one same colour, but it's the Targa 40 & a 2004 & last week we went out with her just me & the wife went around Anglesey, anchored up in a few places then went to Conwy Marina for two nights amazing time so much flexibility when you have a boat. The biggest bonus we had, was the weather was fantastic for us, good time all around, great video as always, your videos are first class awesome stuff.
Fantastic! Lovely boat..!
I have to agree with others on here what a great looking boat for its age and if you had not told us its age i do not think anyone would have guessed it was 20 years old. To me the only thing that dated it was the interior wood colour, if it was darker or matt finish it would look more modern. A great find Nick cheers.
There is a remarkable amount room below deck on this boat and well maintained. Love it! Thanks for sharing Nick.
Thanks Nick- superb review. I’ve always been an aquastar/ nimbus type boat owner but for so much boat at that price I would seriously think about a fairline of that era. A contender for Smugglers Blues 3, surely?
With only 150 miles of range, you really need to be conscious of where your next fuel stop is if you're touring I think. I like everything about the boat BUT the range.
How have you never fallen in?!
Carrying a GoPro on decks you're not familiar with...I probably would have gone for a swim by now!
Smugglers 3 I think.
Ive always wanted to be a luxury boat salesman. I would love it!
Very nice boat. I'm looking for a live aboard. It might work but may be to small. But the price is right!!
That’s a lot of boat for the money, lovely boat .
Come on Nick….this is your next boat….break the piggy bank!!!
Very sexy boat, one of my favorites. Cherry wood & cream leather works nicely for me, i suppose my taste is a bit old school.
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!
Thanks for sharing this intersting yacht Nick, ive noticed a lot of the older boats you review have nice features they no longer do which is a shame, i love the style and curves of the lower deck interior .... smuggler blues 3 ??
Thanks for watching!
This is so weird, i seen today another of your videos ,with Sunseeker Portofino 35 ,and the under deck interior and layout was identical.
How does this happen?Is it same company making Sunseekers and Fairline?
Lots of boats of this style and size have that layout simply because it's the optimal layout, in the same way that (for instance) a BMW 5 Series and Mercedes E Class have exactly the same layout. It's what works best in that size/sector.
@@AQUAHOLIC Oh I see ,thanks.
I thought they'd be many different layouts between all companies.Available space may be similar among same sized boats but clients needs vary I guess. So to me feels disappointing to hear that. Just started checking the market for my first boat and these news was not what I expected 🛥️
SB3.
Great tour thx Nick.. Lot of boat for the price. Question.. Could you extend the range a lot by travelling at say 15 knots ? Just wondering how far you could get if you were not speedy..
You would need to drop to hull displacement speed which is probably about 7 knots. You'd roughly triple the range.
@@AQUAHOLIC Ah ok.. Thanks for the reply :)
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!
Our pleasure!
Wow what a stunning boat... !! Press the trigger Nick 👍👍
This is really a prefect boat. If whoever owns this in May 2022 wants to sell it, drop me a line
Very smart layout overall. Love this! Also can't help but notice that boats from that era are very colourful inside and out compared to the current ones too. Have a great week ahead, Nick!
Thanks, you too! :)
Nice boat. Affordable price. And tender garage is ++++++++++
How do you get out so much quality content in such a short space of time?? Are you guys ever at home? 😀 Not that I'm complaining!
Same colour hull as my boat! Apart from that, completely different.
I liked everything about it. Very classy.
Looks a lot of money to me for such an old and let's be honest tired ish boat, for example the engines are dirty and suffering from corrosion.
What’s nice about a shaft drive is you can surf behind them and not worry about the prop.
Great amount of head room in the aft cabin. Can wake up and sit up without bumping your head.
Of all the affordable boats reviewed, this would be my choice.
If I had 150 thousand I'd buy it... Beautiful boat and in such great shape too.. I love it Nick.. thanks for showing us around.
Smugglers Blues III?
Another great review, Classic boat!
You should get high end surround sound systems fitted as standard in boats like this
Very lovely, well-preserved boat, she's still a beauty 😁 Thanks Nick!
Glad you enjoyed it
Cool boat, even if its 20years old, but quite well maintained. Would love to go for a well maintained one as well - like this! Another time: well done, Nick!!! Love your vids.
Thank you! :)
Amazing boat, pure quality. Anybody fancy sharing?
A lot of boat for 150k.
