When the first Botnia Targa launched in 1984, it was a product of such pure functionality that the original concept has survived largely unchanged for the past 36 years. Our resident used boat expert Nick Burnham (aka. Aquaholic) explains how to find a good secondhand Targa 37...
The 2019 Targa 37 we filmed is for sale in Poole with Wessex Marine for £545,000

This Potting Shed is well laid out and comfortably fitted. Clever placement of the shovel stowage and welly boot racks (I kid because I adore this craft). Stout, yet agile. Sealed tight against a storm or wide open to the cool sea brazes. TWO berthings at separate ends of the boat make it ideal for a two family shared craft.

@andrewbeale2585 3 жыл бұрын

I used to own a Botnia Targa 30, these are terrific boats and quite wonderful both at speed, as well as dawdling about the harbour with the family. I think although the front cabin superstructure is nice, the forward cockpit in the standard models is even nicer. The rear door certainly improves the flow of both people and fresh air, and the flybridge is more sociable with room for five rather than three max on the usual layout. At £545k for this very well specced nearly new model, it is far too much for most people, and just as much fun can be had for a fraction of this (I paid under £100k for 30'), and even better value can be had with the 25 or 27 foot models.

Yes I've always wondered if reliability is a problem with IPS drives over shaft otherwise why wouldn't more of them be fitted. They seem more responsive and efficient.

@arekpetrosian4965 3 жыл бұрын

@@nothingsurprisesmeanymore From what I've seen on videos (I don't currently own a boat), the IPS does offer greater maneuverability, but the shaft drive is generally referred to as more reliable, and easier to maintain. But personally, I would go for the IPS, for the easier handling.
