Targas have always been my favourite little boat but they could at some point put some modern touches.
❤ I WANT A TARGA SO BAD 🎉 awesome boats
Fell in love with this boat at the Boat Show… that spacious aft cabi. Of them all, Targa, Sargo, Botnia, NordStar, etc., this is a nudge ahead of the rest of the pack.
They won’t allow grandpa’s fishing boat in the Med. Take that to Amity Island and look for sharks.
Great tour of a wonderful boat. I hope there is one to see at a Fall USA boat show. Really well-thought out, much more sociable than some of the somewhat austere Targa-class boats. I love the hinged driving console — can't imagine why that has never been copied by mainstream boat builders.
Is the TV a Finlux? Garbage if so.
The little shower is a bidet one.
Always great to see these boats being used on the water, love it ❤️🇬🇧
She would make a good live aboard 😊
Pretty much my ideal boat.
Love it!
Great review Alex, keep them coming.
That is a great boat, really nice layout and flow to it, great finishes and equipment levels. Great video Alex thank you.
Just a great review, Alex. You did much justice to such a gorgeous and purposeful boat; if only all reviews could be so thorough and include a full sea trial. Bravo Zula.
Targa has the market cornered on YouTube videos.
Did you say you were 6'0 tall ? Hmm 🤔
Lekker man lekker 🇿🇦
Great review. Your passion shone through, and you're right.
Best Targa I've seen, most livable and usable, and a real head turner 👍
This is certainly a well thought out design and very little to criticise, I think the comment about the bridge helm seat was a fair one as it would seem relatively simple in practice to fit a seat that swivels around when required. There’s certainly a lot of options and that shows a good degree of flexibility. I think a generator and electric cooker might the preferred choice of many and a cleaner option too. I don’t think you would want to add much else to this fairly solid design. It certainly ticks a lot of boxes and it deserves to succeed.
I love the way you can IMAGINE 7 people sleeping onboard… they've got to be best friends and or HORNY, Hehehe 😂
Lovely boat – but you see a lot of hull flares on American boats. It's an odd European tread to use very plumb bows. Maybe they are best in the Med?
Great tour and test Alex……… cracking boat 🎉
Not flash but oozing quality and, regarding the flybridge………. that to me, is a flybridge, if not a bit on the large side…….. Being old, and raised in the era of Moonrakers and the like, a flybridge was merely an elevated roof top perch for the driver to get some wind in the hair…..😊 Sometimes you’d get a couple of perches for company…….. Nowadays, the flybridge has become a whole added deck space…….. making a lot of modern boats look top heavy in my view.
The Targa, as you say, is tall cabined, but still pleasing to the eye in a purposeful sort of way…….. it wouldn’t look out of place with chequered sides and PATROL slapped down it…… plenty of grunt, although I would go IPS and a generator………
Cheers Alex 🙂🇬🇧
beast
Fantastic presentation. Thoroughly usable boat.
An excellent review and what a superb boat. Very practical and just love its well thought out design and that lovely teak 👍
Fabulous boat.
