Keep in mind that it is 15yrs old. It's the thing you can't see, electrical, plumbing, through bungs, that will cause problems. Like an old car with great paint and exterior. But under the hood plastic and rubber items are worn because of age. How much pounding has the hull taken? Etc etc.
It's funny how we never really "feel" like we're getting old, because my reaction is similar, "2006, that's pretty new . . . wait that's 15 years ago!" I don't feel old enough to think something 14-15 years old is new. I blame my kids.
In 2006 Sunseeker built one of the best boats available - for 2021 - a timeless creation. No kidding, this beauty boat is as contemporary as a clever Reddit posting, yet built 15 years ago. Quality is ageless - literally, if the builder is Sunseeker. I'll bet the lit up name on the back would light up "Smugglers Blues" even brighter. THIS is it, Nick.
Firstly. What a beautiful well looked after boat. So impressed. Someone has cherished it. Secondly who the hell disliked this video? Mind boggles. Thirdly Nick you need this boat. I’ll make you a promise. If I win the lottery tonight she’s yours. Fantastic tour. Have a great weekend Nick.
Just so you know, there are some trolls who spend their whole time clicking the dislike button on any and all videos. They think they're rebels and rad where they're just knobs. It doesn't actually mean anything.
“Not in the market at the moment” walks to the sales office and cry’s that he’s not bought it🤣 after the passion in that review I’m sure it won’t take long to sell Nick. Lovely boat.
Hi Nick. This is definitely a contender, beautiful wood, in good condition. Sporty looks, 700hp 40 knots is lightning fast. Lovely boat. Great walkthrough video tour thanks 😊
Thank you for this amazing visit. The idea of making real a 75 y old man's dream, of living aboard much of his remaining time is being constantly blocked by greedy considerations (age makes dreams an extravagant thing...), but some examples are unavoidable temptations. This one is. Absolutely.
This boat is in awesome condition and great job in showing this smaller, more affordable motor Yacht. I have watched Nautistyles channel and they look down on smaller and make condescending comments in my opinion. When someone constantly says oh this little area is so cute and you wouldn’t be embarrassed at all to have your friends over for the weekend by owning this boat. 👎🏻👎🏻 smaller boat let upkeep and more affordable.
Nick. You are always positive and full of energy. But there was a little extra bounce in your step on this one. Could easily tell you were excited. When you stepped down into the salon, wow, nice. Beautiful woodwork. I certainly agree on this one. What a lovely boat.
Now that is a beautiful boat in immaculate condition. Amazing accommodation for its size and a testament to Sunseeker’s quality of build, fit and finish. Thanks Nick for a fab review.
I've always loved these walkthroughs, have made me absolutely fall in love with the idea of boating and even being a live-aboard. And seeing beautiful boats like this make me even think that it might even be something I can afford one day, putting the idea squarely in the realm of 'possible. Excellent as always, Nick!
This popped up while I was at work, I had to spend the rest of the day knowing it was there whilst being unable to watch it. Thanks for keeping them coming.
This is my favourite Aquaholic - that boat is immaculate, stylish and just about obtainable. I can see myself and the kids enjoying something like this hugely. Fantastic and just the thing to let you dream. Polished cherry wood mmm...
Wow!!!! 15 years or so old & looks superb still just love the craftsmanship in Sunseekers & really like the use of space for the 2nd cabin. Been watching these fantastic films for just over a year now I was wondering Nick what is in store for this year. I really like the canal/longboat vids & love the interiors of the yachts. I would like to see more trawlers & Scandinavian boats if you get the chance. Thanks again Nick for taking the time to make & share these great videos....
I can really appreciate how much content Nick gives us and the Motoholic channel considering the lockdown of the past year. Always out and fighting to give us boating enthusiasts content. Aquaholic is one of the only ones still putting out quality content, not that I watch the others lol. I certainly do marvel the lengths Nick, Jack and Maggie go through to gives us our fix. Thanks Aquaholic.
Do it ! You know you want to, in the same way that you'd knock down doors to have it, I'm sure there would be a substantial queue to knock down your door to be the next proud owner of smugglers blues 2. Love your channel and I keep buying those tickets lol.
This boat hits the sweet spot for me. Not too big not too small. Your boat is fantastic as well. These are my two favorites. Yours has the single engine which I like. Better fuel economy, maintenance costs, and still big enough. Greetings from the U.S.A. Love your channel.
@@AQUAHOLIC How about the classic Sunseeker manhattan 48. Similar price, flybridge, 3 cabins, reliable caterpillar engine. Lot of boat for little money.
Always loved Sunseakers, this for me gives you the perfect balance between a usable family and sports boat. Also a great size, large enough to cope and give you space, small enough to have some fun with and enough HP to do so. Thumbs up in every respect for this one.
Great video; I so enjoy these ''affordable'' boat tours up to about £500k, especially the older 2nd hand boats; and if you could edit in some shots of the boat sailing even better- old advertising material maybe - so we can see the lines away from the jetty? Really enjoy your work, I try and watch before starting my work in the mornings!!
I started watching your vlogs about a week ago and they have me hooked, just love watching them and really makes me want to learn how to drive a boat. Cannot afford a boat but so want to learn, amazing video you're a great inspiration. Kind of find these video calming, rewarding, well done and keep up your amazing videos...even if some of us cannot afford a boat we can watch these vids and makes us believe we are on them with you.. amazing...
This is a fabulous little yacht. And that price is akin to thievery....thievery I tell you!! Sunseeker did themselves proud with the fit and finish; reminding the owner they hadn't merely bought a small yacht, they'd bought a Sunseeker. And this isn't Smuggler's Blues III, Nick. No. This is Smuggler's Blues III's tender!
Immaculate condition for 15years old. Owners have certainly taken good care of this.. gotta be a contender for Smugglers Blues III. 😉..Another great video as always Nick.. 🛥️🛥️
I don’t know Nick, you might want to try to keep the wife from seeing this video. When she’s how much you love it, and then sees the boat itself, you might not have a choice 😉. Another top Quality Aquaholic Tour! And a lovely machine, very impressive for 35 feet.
Hi Nick, ever considered putting together an out-take video of all the times you've bumped your head inside doing these tours and just general stuff ups? I think that would be hilarious. Great upload as usual mate 👍👍
Presumably a larger, more expensive, more complicated 2006 is more of a risk/liability than a simpler 2006 boat. I'd always be worried I was buying a 15 year old money pit! Great video nick!
Another lovely "affordable" boat Mr Burnham. It will look right at home cruising up and down the English Riviera. If you bought it you could always rename it by adding the letter N and word Very and name it after your favourite phrase... cheaper than calling it Smugglers Blues 3. Keep them coming Nick !
I’m so tired of 2020 and also 2021 so far. I can see myself setting off into the sunset on this with a few good friends for a few weeks! Sun, water and a relaxing time! And of course cocktails 🍹!
So classy... so Sunseeker! Timeless elegance (ooo good name for the boat!) is the way to describe her, just beautiful! Acres of high-gloss cherrywood, superb living space, teak in wonderful condition... this is hard to beat! And that name, ‘Portofino’ conjures up images of blue water, azure skies, bronzed beauties & cocktails... where’s my credit card!?!?! 🤣👋🏻
No slight to Smugler's Blues II, but when you went below decks, I almost gasped. And that head is amazing. Speaking of, it would be great if you could include a quick selfie shot of yourself in or in front of the shower area in the heads. It almost happened in this tour because of the mirrors, but it would be such a huge help, especially to tall folks. How is that boat over 15 years old? If you can swing it, she would make an amazing Smugler's Blues III.
This Yacht pushed me over the edge, and I finally hit the subscribe button!!! I really love the living space and not one, but two state rooms!!! I can see traveling up and down the west coast, from Vancouver to Monterey, to Del Mar to Mexico. I'm impressed!!
i never see any hate in the comments or on this channel, amazing job nick creating a great community to relax and escape everyday bs
We don't allow nasty people to join our special club! 😄
This a dream channel
Probably because there are almost no childs (although not mentally) here. They're not interested in something like this. Keep it like that 😁.
@@denjo3131 lol ima kid haha but ik what ur saying
@@peterlafrance5392 well, sometimes, mentally I'm also still a kid 😉. And physically, I'm non that old, in my twenties.
I keep having to remind myself that 2006 was 15 years ago. This boat looks like it has been fantastically taken care of!
@covid 19 bulshitt Probably around 350-400k. Nice name by the way.
@covid 19 bulshitt Yes I do and fully agree with you. Nice to meet you!

@@DashcamCCTVfootage I agree, both on the price and the name. LOL
For a 35-footer, SUNSEEKER hit a home run with this, as specified. The interior finishing and the layout is OUTSTANDING!
By far the best looking 35 foot boat I’ve ever seen. Awesome layout ,beautiful woodwork.
What a brilliant first boat. Once again Nick you have done us proud. Thank you very much
This is a fantastic boat. The inside is better than a lot of modern boats in terms of sleeping. This is one of the better ones you have shown us.
Great boat. Such a nice guy too.
I've gone from not watching any of his videos to around 20 in 2 days. Brilliant. I really want a boat now.
Easily the nicest, and most timeless older boat you've shown. Brilliant.
In 2006 Sunseeker built one of the best boats available - for 2021 - a timeless creation. No kidding, this beauty boat is as contemporary as a clever Reddit posting, yet built 15 years ago. Quality is ageless - literally, if the builder is Sunseeker. I'll bet the lit up name on the back would light up "Smugglers Blues" even brighter. THIS is it, Nick.
I love your enthusiasm. It's really easy to watch someone talking with passion.
This boat reminded me very much about my brothers sunseeker boat,nothing better then sitting on a boat like this and enjoy a sunny day boating
That is a splendidly designed boat. And the blue/white color scheme is timeless.
Firstly. What a beautiful well looked after boat. So impressed. Someone has cherished it. Secondly who the hell disliked this video? Mind boggles. Thirdly Nick you need this boat. I’ll make you a promise. If I win the lottery tonight she’s yours. Fantastic tour. Have a great weekend Nick.
You're very kind (I assume that stands even if you only win £10..? 😄)
@@AQUAHOLIC ah I didn’t think of that.......
Just so you know, there are some trolls who spend their whole time clicking the dislike button on any and all videos. They think they're rebels and rad where they're just knobs. It doesn't actually mean anything.
Two boats in one Nick. Modern look on the outside. Classic Sunseeker wood finishes down below. Can't go wrong. 👍👍
I LOVE your videos. You seem to be very thorough. And your little waves in the mirrors make it even better and make me smile every time I see it
Thank you so much!

Wow, definitely was not expecting that level of comfort and style in the cabin! Another great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
The "small" boats tours are the best!
What a lovely blend of sports styling and accommodation. The sympathetic upgrades really work! Nice!

I love the big ships, but as a small town guy I appreciate small boats like these. Keep it up, love what you do!
Thanks, will do!
Just get her, Nick! She's got your name written all over it!
Just the one small issue... 😄
@@AQUAHOLIC I would consider it a smart investment.
Time to start a GoFundMe page for SBIII
Get it Nick... how many people can say they own a Sunseeker??
“Not in the market...”. Come on Nick. It’s time and you know it. Let go of some of that $$$ in your wallet.
Okay this is a beautiful boat Nick so much room for her size be perfect new smugglers and great tour as always mate thanks 👍🇨🇦
Glad you enjoyed it
I love looking at these smaller boats. The creative use of limited space is incredible
I've always loved these walkthroughs, have made me absolutely fall in love with the idea of boating and even being a live-aboard.

Wow wonderful Nick Sir.. It's elegant and wood work is awesome.... Used small places very well..
LOOKING ELEGANT NICK Sir...
That boat is drop dead gorgeous. I'm in love. I really hope you can make this one Smugglers Blues III so we can see more.
Not too big not too small just the perfect size. And it's a flying machine 10/10 👍
That's a really nice boat for 15yrs old. Love the two cabin layout.
This boat looks perfect! The interior still looks brand new! I wasn't expecting her to be able to go 40 knots, this is a real speed machine!

Love how they managed to fit a reasonably spacious and well laid out guest cabin in there. Sunseeker really did a good job on this one!
Nice Nick, a great getaway weekender boat for a couple and friends. love it.
Very nice boat and nice and tidy for the age.
Lovely boat! Like the cabin, very classy!
Make it happen Nick!!!!!....you’ve earned it!!!!!
Im addicted to these videos, its amazing how they can get so much room out of such a smallish boat. 💪👏
you've fallen in love with this one Nick............not surprised
What a lot of boat for a 35 footer,classic design without being out of date,loved the cabin. Great tour,thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great first boat looks easy to control.
Watched two dozen of your videos this weekend and this is the most impressive boat yet. Two cabins? Unbelievable.
Yes!!!! Cant wait for a purchase and indepth review on this one Nick! Go for it mate.

I like this boat.
This boat is very spacious, cozy.
The type of boat I will buy-in 2-3 years tops.
Just by his presentation, I'm sold,
it's been 3 years. we're dying to know, did you buy it?

That interior is just gorgeous!!
I am really surprised I can't find someone in the U.S. doing what you are doing. I have learned so much about the different boats from you.
35ft Tardis!! The interior is better than a lot of new boats!!

How did I miss this one? Absolutely wonderful. Your boat tours are fantastic, Nick. I love this one. 🙌🙌

ooh suit you sir ! you do like a weighted centre bob thingy lols

Presumably a larger, more expensive, more complicated 2006 is more of a risk/liability than a simpler 2006 boat.
I'd always be worried I was buying a 15 year old money pit! Great video nick!
That's the trade off against the higher price of a newer boat

@@AQUAHOLIC Your channel is always "Top Notch" for content and entertainment. Great job!
This is the first boat of this size that I've actually liked. especially how the forward cabin has its own door. As Nick would say, "Excellent".
I love watching these tours but at 6' 7" I think I'm doomed not own one. Love your channel and always fun to watch.
My family had 06’ portofino 46. Loved it. Now rocking with 08’ predator 62
Lovely !
I don't know, man. Pretty well kept. You might want to snap that up. Love the helm.
So classy... so Sunseeker! Timeless elegance (ooo good name for the boat!) is the way to describe her, just beautiful!

Can’t wait to see smugglers blues 3, great tour Nick I love these videos! It’s something I could see myself buying in the future as well!
Nice! This boat is quite cool. I even like the blue carpet this time. :)
No slight to Smugler's Blues II, but when you went below decks, I almost gasped. And that head is amazing. Speaking of, it would be great if you could include a quick selfie shot of yourself in or in front of the shower area in the heads. It almost happened in this tour because of the mirrors, but it would be such a huge help, especially to tall folks. How is that boat over 15 years old? If you can swing it, she would make an amazing Smugler's Blues III.
What a fantastic boat, really well appointed for its size
Lovely boat. I only have a Merry Fisher 695, but that would be my aspiration for a next boat!

Beautiful, so much more space down below than I expected.
That's a 35 foot boat that could actually do some cruising. Very nice below deck. Two usable cabins.
