Broker Remarks

Nigel Bennett designed the Delphis 10 as a vessel with a planing hull for performance and economy. The Delphis 10 was his design to own personally, which he did as he took hull No. 2. He enlisted Sony Levy, the world-famous powerboat designer, for the hull profile, and Northshore eventually manufactured them who are commonly known as a quality manufacturer of Southerly, Vancouver and Fisher Boats.
The design was to have a traditional classic style with protected walkaround decks with comfortable, safe cruising for up to six people.
This Delphis 10 is like no other; there were few of them produced by Northshore, only 6 to be precise; this example was hull number 4.
The build of Finale started in 2002 and was completed in 2003; the owners commissioned many optional extras, extending the build process.
The owners have had her from new and went all out, with no expense spared when deciding on the specification and any layout alterations from the standard format, as this was due to be their last boat before retiring from boating, hence the name Finale! Over £75k was spent on these optional extras.
Additional extras that were not standard include side boarding gates, cockpit bench seat, stainless steel gantry for the cockpit enclosure, extra stainless steel handrails, beaching legs,  chart table, wet locker, helmsman and navigator seat, overhead galley cupboards, cherry wood portlight covers, integrated step storage down from the saloon to accommodation, larger heads with heating outlet, Oceanair blinds and the list goes on!!
In 2019, the boat benefitted from a significant refit, again no expense spared, and the list of upgrades was extensive, so here are the main items: twin Volvo penta D3 220hp engines, drives, gearboxes, steering system and complete electronics suite replacement! 
The maintenance schedule has always been extensive on this motorboat with annual polish antifoul engine and drive services without fail!
The condition only proves how well-cared for this vessel is; she is certainly one not to be missed out on!

Owners Remarks:
We had owned Southerly boats, and owing to a severe back problem, we had to give up sailing. We commissioned Finale in 2002 and redesigned the interior layout as well as several external arrangements. Finale was launched in March 2003 and has been a great boat to own.
The customising and extras list for the build totalled £76,900 (in 2002), in addition to the cost of the standard boat.
The machinery maintenance has always been carried out by the local Volvo dealers from new in accordance with any Volvo schedules. Excellent yard contractors have carried out other work for electics, electronics, GRP annual polish, wax and antifouling
