@@ianrkav Thank you , We purchased the boat at a knock down price from £ 59 k to 37.5 k and the owner had just spent £ 40 k on all new machinery from the steering wheel to the props engines out drives a complete volvo package x2 and all new fuel systems. Bills for cleaning and polish £3.0 k per year .I think he owned it for 4 years ,I replaced 4 batteries and put a new B charger on and turned the trim tabs into auto matic ones ,once under way set and forget and they worked on there own . Sunseekers stated 35 knots but having the P series 200 hp it would over rev ,so off to volvo in Poole by the sunseeker factory ,who said to put the next size larger props on ,so off to the prop tuners shop who race tuned them and 43 knots on the gps .happy days . Only sold it as her indoors did not like mooring it and back to a scorpion rib with a chipped motor and a racing prop .There is a saying down on the south coast UK .that owners are cash rich and time poor ,so they throw money at it so when the come down from London they expect a going to sea boat that works .So you can pick up some bargins at times .Stay safe and have fun

@@allsearpw3829 Looks like you did get a bargain. Shame you had to sell it. I do like the Sunseekers from this era, they have a style and look the later ones seem to lack. Do you trailer the rib? Saves some money I suppose.

@@ianrkav Yes it was one of there best sellers , it would seat 10 -12 people in the cock pit , 4 berths in side . But if I had the time over again of that age of boat I think I would go for the HAWK RANGE AS THEY HAVE a more deep v in the hull and will out run a portofino in the rough , but they come with petrol engines and very few diesels were fitted ,so £££££££ s of fuel . No I do not trail the rib and keep it on the same fresh water mooring . Drive up to about 10 feet away .fuel up and off ,for the day .Do you have a boat ? Did you see this on You tube under PCWJCW . OR DID YIU SEE IT UNDER SUNSEEKER ?
