This is a serious piece of kit that has been brilliantly modernised whilst still remaining fundamentally Sunseeker! Just superb. Thank you Richard for sharing this refurb with us and thank you Nick for bringing this to us! Cannot wait for the next one. Have a great weekend one and all!

Incredible renovation. The quality is superb. Richard is very good at what he's doing. Everything is very well thought out. I really like the strong colour scheme but it might not be for everybody's taste. It's personal. This has been an amazing journey and I really like the finished boat.
@zakelwe Жыл бұрын
I think the colour scheme is inspired, it really stands out amongst all the traditionally coloured boats. Like a Lambo though, you have to not mind being stared at or photographed ( not an issue I have in my diesel Yaris covered with battle scars and duct tape ...) Richard did a fantastic job, I thought Nick was joking when asking if it was going to be sold, but as Richard mentioned he loves the project side just as much. The next one will be higher level again I bet.

It's always a pleasure to meet Richard and listen to him talk passionately about his wonderful transformation of this classic Sunseeker, "RED!" I, like many other avid "Aquaholic " followers was amazed by what Richard and his team achieved over 18 laborious months. From a wreck to a boat that has been totally transformed into an iconic masterpiece! Well done Richard!

And just look at how clean and organised the engine room is..... Sunseeker would have wished they produced this boat like that in their time.....

Some folks might be surprised that it's for sale. Why not keep it and enjoy it? I think much of the enjoyment of this boat was the renovation. Some people do that with boats, some with houses, and I know quite a few people who spend a decade or more building a massive model railroad only to rip it out the moment it's finished (sometimes before then). For many people, figuring out how to do something like that is more satisfying than having it finished. This is a spectacular, for all intents and purposes brand new boat. Fantastic job, Richard! And thanks to Nick for following from the start!

The boat is superb. It would not be possible to replicate this level of thought and modernity in a production boat. If the price is £375000, then this on one hand is good value for money. On the other though it is not a new boat as such, but a totally restored and rebuilt 23 year old boat. A Superhawk 34. Can the money it cost ever be recovered. Perhaps as a classic it could, though most such restorations are a labour of love only.
