Discovered this gem at the Miami Boat Show...I am in love.

smooth looking, although I'm sure it would translate better as a 55'-65'. looks like a puffed up blow fish at 40'

 

they make a 50' as well. no doubt, some of the shots make it look blowfish is.

but if you watch the video and see the boats lines while docked, profile shot, it isn't all that bad. also, in the 40' range it becomes touchable, price wise.:rofl:

 

a few more pics...

 

Saw some of the Marquis Yachts at the L.A. show. Beautifully made.

 

I just saw this boat at the docks here in Seattle and I was smitten. Although it'd be a step down for me in length and a step up in price, the attention to detail was amazing. The fact that it's a class A boat (as opposed to class B like almost every other cruiser in its class) is astonishing too. The carbon fiber retractacble hardtop was However, the 40' has no headroom (anyone over 6' look elsewhere). I might be looking at a 50 SC soon.

 

this boat has me up at night sleepless.

carbon roof, i mean damn!

the thing is, it's not perfect, no boat is. however, for 650 K it's as close to perfect as possible inmho.

 

I just sold my 59 Marquis, and it was the best boat I've ever owned or seen by far in it's size. The 40 in amazing!!!

You've good taste my man!

 

glad i haven't gotten into boats yet!

but the one you poseted JP ....

 

I am telling ya nothing beats a boat! Totally unselfish display of luxury and fun...nothing beats it and one of best ways to enjoy life with family and friends
