dear azureazimute,
congratulations for your new purchase, i hope you enjoy that for years to come.
as to the discussion on sea jet, i want to put issues into a context, otherwise we wil not be having a fair discussion.
1- the issue was sea jet looking much larger than other boats of her size.
2- azimut 68' is much lower than sea jet on the sea and i know that she also behaves much better.
3- when we discuss quality we should consider systems, hull strength and in general not the interior furniture/fabrics or lay out only. what most of the people do experience are the stuff you touch and feel when you are on a boat like azimut or ferretti and not the other hidden details. azimut and i have to admit also ferretti recently having understood this public appeal they put more emphasis on the soft side of things.
4. if one is not hands on with his/her boat, then these issues are dealt by the crew and they are the ones facing the difficulties.
5. check the second hand prices, why do you think they are loosing value so fast?
