Thanks everyone for your offers but I have now purchased Chris Stevens cherished 2008 Osprey Vipermax 6.5. It has taken ALL my money so I won't be looking at any other boats now thanks,

Lester

Nice boat, perfect for your needs.

martini · 08 March 2011, 19:32

Good choice, don't think you'll regret it

gotchiguy · 08 March 2011, 19:51

Since you are an instructor, will this be the first coded VM?

Good job on the purchase though, great boat

willk · 08 March 2011, 20:10

Sounds like money well spent! Best of luck with her

It doesn't need to be coded for instruction

I don't there are any in commercial use? Can't think of any in the UK off the top of my head.

There are plenty of Falcons which is the commercial brother to the VM in commercial applications, and bar a couple in Belgium / Holland and Marcus 4 near us, I don't know of any in UK.
