    The little cabin in the back is not for crew. The boat is designed for a family and that little cabin is for when their kid/kids don't behave properly, they can be locked down in that cabin for keeping the noise level down at night.

    Interesting layout, I’d probably change that third cabin into something else, but that’s just me, a few electronics updates, and you’d be set. She’s in excellent condition for her age, looks like she was well loved. Of course another excellent Aquaholic tour to really show her off. Lovely boat.

    Hi Nick, great video as always, thanks. I've had one of these for 9 years and I still love it, great boats, very sociable with enough room for everyone to spread out if preferred, easy riding, comfortable and perfect for a family or holiday with friends. They still look the business, especially (IMHO) with the blue hull. Will be very difficult to replace.

    Looks a lovely boat. I really like that era of boat, and I'm not sure if it's because the early 2000s were my "glory days" or if it's just that I have a penchant for burr walnut! Great boat for UK waters and weathers though, very practical for those of us who aren't primarily sunbathing while stern-to berthed!

    Very nice boat, I would be very happy with that one.
    Something I have learnt from watching your tours, and it's an extremely important observation 🤪 is that as builders progress over the years and improve their designs by ploughing more money into the design department and employing better technology into the boats is that, the telly's get bigger 😁👍❤️

  • @r.a.monigold9789
    @r.a.monigold9789 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    It's a Fairline - that alone says so much. PLUSES - a 16 year old yacht that looks but months out of the factory. MINUSES - it's a yacht with 16 year old electronics and pumps that wear out (water, hydraulic, waste, engine driven, etc.). While it is decently priced, the ancillaries could factor in. But, if the vessel has had regular servicing (beyond just oil changes), then reliability is raised to a positive level. All in all, if my boat budget* ever fell to a mere £200,000, then I would roll the dice on this beauty. Thanks again, Nick... *imaginary

  • @tintin0954

    Nice Vlog 👍! Not a lot of space on the boat but they made pretty good use of what there is. Would have to change the electronics for some newer stuff and would redo the floor hatch covers to be more flush to the rest of the floor to prevent tripping and catching toes. May not be the first boat I would look for when buying, but not one to be ashamed of owning either.

      Here in Singapore, many families have live in house keepers. They have very small rooms to sleep in. This crew cabin is bigger than many have. I don't have one, my neighbour does; In the cupboard that I call a utility room, that has just enough space for a washing machine and dish washer, plus a little storage, my neighbour has the helpers bed, it's 2.2 x 1.0 mtr.(7.1 x 3.5 ft) She sleeps there with the fuse box and the garbage chute.

    Poorer in some areas, but the helm position on the sunseeker is almost a reason to buy it alone.

    Missing a washer/dryer for extended trips but otherwise a perfect sized boat for extended cruising. I really like the "crew" cabin as an extra storage room - it will be hard to run out of space for all the odds and ends you need.

    I'm such a numpty, I always thought the hatch on the stairs of flybridge boats was to keep drunkards from accidentally falling down the stairs, it never occurred to me it was to keep weather out of the cockpit!

      @@WillowGTI I had my 45' reupholstered: two couches, double wide seat and a single seat. $7800USD. And that was marine grade upholstery, not leather. That was the single biggest expense besides the purchase price so far.

      I'd spend money to get the TV removed. If a TV is there it will be an inevitable focus. Get some board games onboard instead. No TV means you have to focus on the family, partner, if you're alone you read a book; it means you focus more on your surroundings than stare at the idiot box which we do too much of anyway. (But that's just me, I won't say anyone who thinks differently to me is "wrong" or anything!)

    A nice well presented and practical boat. I often wonder though. When will a boat of that age become a classic? Will it become desirable in future years? Like cars its a hit and miss. Who would have thought the humble Ford Capri would now have such appeal in the future? I can think of a Fairey Swordsman as an example of a desirable classic.

    Change the TV's and most everyone on your Channel would guess the age at 2010 or later. It would be interesting to know the approximate range this boat would have sold for when new. My hunch is, if this is the original owner, this yacht was cheap in regard to cost of ownership.
