Very classy looking boat with great resale - what more could you want? Add a few bints in bikinis and you are laughing!!!

Just a few mods to the engine bay sealing and some extra drains and all will be fine.

In fairness to cobra they don't expect many people with a boat like that to be using them at this time of year!!!

They don't? Can you speak for them?

From Dave's website:

"In design, performance and comfort it excels, in dryness, softness of ride and rough water handling, it's envied by its peers. A boat that has evolved to be a market leader."

http://www.pictonboats.com/Nautique.htm

"The 8.0m & 8.5m models are built for customers that know what they want and demand the best!"

Couldn't see any "seasonal caveats"

I think Cobra's are really aimed at families and leisure boaters - the sort of people who would buy a Rinker or Bayliner. Maybe they should start selling them in the US!!!

Obviously they will handle rough water to a certain extent - just not as well as something like a Humber - then again they do look a little better!!!

OK, very clever! I sort of consider filling up with water to occur in the post-handling stage... ie they've failed the rough water handling test and entered the suvival phase! What I wanted to know, was why you percieve that a Humber would handle better in rough water than a Cobra.

(The beauty part is, of course, in the eye of the beholder!)
