    That was a really thorough and great walkthrough. Beautiful yacht, and I love it. But if we need £500K+ worth of extras that seems they should've been there to begin with the original price is a bit of a bait-and-switch. Noone will order a barebones one...

To me exposed carbon fibre (weaves) feels just as cheap as exposed GRP. I love that it's there but please don't remind me. Nagging is done and this was Aces, thank you so much for your efforts 👌

    Typical Sunseeker, in a good way, with design and speed as key selling points. The crew cabin for this size of a yacht though is surprisingly small. Would not attract experienced skippers, sleeping in a coffin back to back with a deckhand is really not a way to spend the summer. In many other yachts of the same length and style the crew quarters are more than double the size, very surprised to see this as you need at least a deckhand even if you are an owner operator.

    @@MrSilus2000 as an experienced boater, and owner of charter boats up to 22 meters, I can guarantee you that a boat of this size is very hard to handle singlehanded, even with a yacht controller installed. Just a bit of tide or side wind and the approach is off, also you cannot react fast enough if something goes wrong. On top, no one who pays that type of money wants to be running around doing all the work, not just docking but also the cleaning after each day out on the water. Competitors at that size have really decent cabins for crew, and boats with the best crew cabins usually get the best crews.

    ⁠@@MrSilus2000for handling on your own, probably 55-60 foot depending on type of boat and kit on board, for crew cabins for this size (75+) would expect as a minimum a proper bed with space around it (and above it) plus decent wet head for a skipper or deckhand, but many competitors have double separate cabins for crew anyway. Many modern 60+ footers have better cabins for crew.
