Hi K1W1,
Been a great enthusiast on Sunseeker’s and owned few of them the last years with great time including all the problems of course that you get anyhow no matter the boat brand’s name after few hundreds of hours of use, but in my case the overall result where to get unforgettable times.
Something which you must have experience too during the voyage of yours from Monaco to Ibiza and Porto Cervo with a Sunseeker Superhawk 52 with Triple Yanmars as said.
Of course with some problems as you mentioned, but your boat with triple engines configuration, I believe they where the 425ps on Trimax surface drives correct? Was not the best for long trips in open seas?
That boat cannot go slow and if does then is not a good boat to be onboard during bad Sea with waives.
More, as all GRP boats on high speeds when meets waives the impact is transferred fast and tremendous pressure build up everywhere, more the boat’s flexibility will reduce and twist volumes in all empty spaces making it very difficult for all el. components, fitted cabinets, GRP arches even sometimes whole separator-wall-panels (I have gone across a Cranchi 39 endurance once that after a meeting with a waive on the wrong hull spot with high speed and wrong angle the whole WC wall-panel collapse and the boat become one large saloon area) something that cannot happen to a Sunseeker.
In general surface drives produce more speeds but at the same time more stress on the boat’s hull but until today I haven’t heard anyone with serious problems because of that and that is very interested to know, where in many other manufacturers even in a Princess serious problems occur in many different cases and those words come from own experiences from owning Princes boats particularly the V series.
Talked to you again
Greetings and wishes for save voyagers
