Targa 58 Pictures in Custom Metallic Silver

It's all a matter of taste, but I don't like it. IMHO I feel that the metalic paints make a boat look glitzy and cheap. The boat itself looks like a Sea Ray with rectangular holes cut in the side with no rhyme nor reason.
(Off subject, I hope all is well for you during these troubled times.)

I disagree Cap. I think the color makes it look richer, better finished. And while the untrained eye might see a SeaRay, the rest of us know it's a Fairline... a very good boat.

I'm quite familiar with Fairlines. Like I said: it's simply a matter of taste.

Glad it's going so well. The foolish American media said people got killed. I used to run a 68' Targa. Didn't like it; don't like this. Guess I just have bad taste.

.....LOL!

Correct it was the 64, and I didn't like it. The Squadrons I do. That's the thing with taste. Even those with none are entitled to have it.

Yes I am. Sport cruisers I like. Spent several years on a 50' Viking SC. Also like SF, trawlers and FBMYs. Express cruisers are not my favorite (except in rough water) although I run a lot of them. Once I cross 50' I like a house and bridge helm, but I'm fairly flexible. Just didn't like that Targa. We had lots of electric problems (windows, etc.) and didn't like the "crew quarters" at all. There were other problems as well. I Just prefer the Sunseekers in that style and size. I also don't like those metalic finishes, but, like you say, a different generation.

The windows on the hullside look awful.

Love it. Looks very nice in silver imho. A customised (silverised) tender would look good on the stern if you're feeling extravagent . There is one in Ipswich right now that is about to be painted silver, then shipped to Dubai.

And the best thing about that boat is that the inside is even cooler than the exterior; beautiful contemporary interior design and very well assembled

TK-430, when you called MH last Friday to talk about door latch and he said he was doing a seatrial, he was actually driving my s78. I was on board with him heading out into that brown liquid called the North Sea, from Fairline's ipswich dock. We had the tech guys from the stabs company onboard and were doing all the settings in the stabiliser software.

Off topic, glad to hear you're ok and I hope things settle down politics-wise asap;

The silver looks great. It is also a nice change from white or blue.

Congratulations on your new purchase, so you are familiar with the Fairline brand?

Vivariva, Did you miss the build thread of his 78?
It was fascinating.

On the contrary, I followed it with great interest. It was an attempt of dry humor.

Sorry, I missed that. I knew you were around for it. I must have been tired or something.
