Dear Emilio,
off course there are also other brands with mistakes or design faults. I have never worked on a boat which had no problems or defects.
The problems with the Sunseekers are that the proplems are already built in the shipyard in Poole/GB. Either they do not have a quality control or a very bad one. Fact is that the Sunseeker Portofino 53 with the hull no GB-XSK-.......05 was very bad manufactured. We have a list of over 40!! faulty positions which was repaired or still need to be repaired by Sunseeker (Warranty)And this on a boat which cost US$ 1.000.000,--?????
I always ask myself, if the Sunseekers are so good boats, why there are hundreds and hundreds of second hand Sunseeker boats and yachts on the market and many of them just 1 or 2 years old? Are theses all boats from satified customers, ordering a bigger Sunseeker?????? I donīt think so.
Sunseeker is living from its good design and the name they had 10 years ago.
But thatīs all!
Best regards
Boatman
