No turning back now...
      #1908919 - 26/06/2008 21:13

Hit the big red button today and Whitelighter IV is bought and paid for

Spent a very long day in Sweden yesterday doing a bit of snagging and such and the good news is the list is fairly short. Collection with RickP and Col is game on for Tuesday and I am starting to look forward to it.

I know the boat is bought through our business, and while it will be used as a demonstrator in the main, it is still my money and I have been very involved at a personal level. I guess what I am trying to say is she still feels very much our boat.

Hence the use of our prefered name on this one. This is a boat I wanted to buy first and be a dealer for second.

So forgive me a few little new boat shots, if all else fails and we never sell a single one worst ways we have a boat we really like and that isnt so bad

Nice and smooth at 30knts


A bit of Swedish countryside


The obligatory forum wake shot


And all tucked up, waiting for a few final jobs and an 800nm trip home

Looking great jez. I can read the excitment in your post. And quite rightly so. She looks brilliant.

And did a little birdie tell me she hit speeds over 40knts? : grin:

Cheers

She looks great. I love the Sand coloured Canopy and seats. So the only question left is....what Interior did they put in her!

I am very Jealous, Business or not she is amazing and I hope she lives up to her billings! Lots more pics please!!!

No lol, that is actually one of their build canopies, and in that photo the front is still rolled up. My canopy wil be fitted last thing monday, but it is the same colour.

Trip should be good - I think there will be lots of pics by RickP, though you had better like lighthouses!
