dear alex,

i had a 40' azimut and then a 53' and 68' ferretti boats. ferretti a better boat than azimut both in build quality and design parameters. a number of my friends had english boats. sunseeker kind of azimut of the british. very attractive exterior design (though neither present azimuts nor sunseekers are my taste) but relatively poor quality, especially in places where you do not see.

fairline is a bit better than princess in build quality and i see that they have been improving their interiors as well.

however, if you are not strictly after one of these well known brands, i am sure you can have boats at least at par in quality and much more favorable in price from other builders as well.
