 ** FAIRLINE TARGA 48 REVIEW **

Introduction: For boat owners and daydreamers 
alike, Fairline's Targa 48 is a classic, and 
not many boats achieve such status. Visually, 
the proportions are right from all angles, 
this being the very best incarnation of the 
Fairline Targa range, most sporting the 
Pershing-like flat oval side windows.

The boat was first displayed at the London 
Boat show in 1996, and the display model was 
sold immediately. Orders rolled in, such that 
Fairline made over twenty in the first year, 
and eventually almost two hundred in total. 
 
The Targa 48 was a significant leap in size for 
Fairline's Targa range - remember that up until 
this time the largest model in the range was 
the T39, itself an ageing stretched 38 with 
lengthened swim platform, a lot smaller in every 
respect.

A key attraction of the T48 is that it's the 
smallest boat open boat you can buy with three 
proper double cabins. No other boat manages this 
trick quite so neatly. The owner's cabin has 
privacy at the forward end of the saloon, with 
two mirror-image twins aft of the saloon. 
 
The specialist motorboat magazines almost audibly 
mourned passing of the T48 when it was eventually 
replaced with the T52, still a good boat but which 
crosses the psychologically important 50-foot 
barrier beyond which many owner-drivers feel that 
a boat becomes too big. A T48 isn't quite as quick 
as the later T52 replacement, but for most owners 
it will do everything they want for a fraction of 
the price. Most agree that it's better looking too. 
 
Perhaps one reason for the success of the T48 is 
that it hits the spot for everyone on board. 
First and foremost, it looks the absolute business. 
It's big enough to feel safe and roomy enough to 
live aboard for a couple of weeks or more and 
invite friends to stay too.

Step aboard and the near 12 tons displacement 
feels a lot more solid than the smaller sub-forty 
foot sisters in the Targa range.
