A NEW 35ft fast charter/fishing boat carrying up to 16 people at just over 33 knots has been introduced by Cornish company Offshore 105, reports Phil Lockley.

Offshore's sales manager, Phil Mitchell, says the combination of the latest 330hp Iveco engine working through a commercially rated Hamilton jet drive is "a successful formula".

He tells FN: "Three charter skippers showed interest in the new Procharter 35 and came to Wadebridge for its sea trials.

"The first skipper bought the boat on the spot and the other two placed orders before the second hull was released from the mould.
