Dear Teena,

I agree totally with you what you said about the Sunseekers. I was working on a 53 Portofino built in 2004 and I never ever have been on boat with so many mistakes. The boat was leaking on all ends, the hydraulic was too weak for the hard-top, gel-coat work was really badly done, we had permanently electric problems, bilge pumps burned through every week at least one time and and and and.

By the way the Sunseeker in Limasol was in our marina for 1 year and I know all the problems of this boat. The owner now has 82 Predator and problems as well with this boat. We have another 50 Camarque in the marina and they have allmore or less problems. Sunseekers are very good looking boats, but the finish is not very good. They are saving on materials but the price of the boat is very high compared to other brands. Sunseekers are showboats, so called coffe-racers. To go out for a coffee is ok but stay away from bad weather or waves? By the way for 7 mio € you can get something better and bigger.
