That’s the boat they made only for boat shows and displays & the engine package has not yet been decided on, still more engine testing to be done

They seem to have made dreadful point changes especially to features like the rear canopy that we know is purely aesthetic.
Good luck with that one P1..keep spending the money!
PS I think I saw the hull for that batman boat outside a little yard at Battisborough Cross today!!

Jeepers...not that I wish to labour the F4SA and P1 thing but people should know how this has affected teams. If The Pughs think 47,000 on Ebay is fair for theirs then I suspect they are closer to God than I am!
Very sad state of affairs and so the UIM should ban P1 out of respect for the rest of the 36 owners and add that to the way they dumped the P1 big boys last year and you have one hell of a disaffected group of people.
So now they are selling to car enthusiatsts....actually that worked in Honda.

Its not really that sad a state of affairs though is it ?
O.K when all is said and done the race team still owns a power boat with an engine on the back of it that can race.Granted fonmulas will and do change for race classes but that is life.
I think we all have to be realistic about residual values od second hand craft.

I'm going to lease one and enter the series for £17,500!
I'm in!!

Good luck!
When will you get the boat? What kind of performance can you expect?
Please post pics and info.

Not sure this is an entirely unbiased viewpoint as some of the interviewees forgot they were wearing P1 clothing!
