62ft motor yacht for £99k

Saw the T62 a month ago. Not bad a boat for the money. Good space although I've seen better. Machine room is spacious and maintenance is easy. Not too exciting though... it's lacking something. its in price range with the SL57 which in my opinion has more quality and similar interior space, if you go past the old fashioned exterior. Not to mention the SL62 is getting close to those prices (or it's actually cheaper if you consider the age difference) and is a gorgeous yacht.

Looks lovely. Running costs per year probably close to the value of the boat but worth it if you could stomach it - I wouldn't/couldn't...

Jez, can you explain why you think it would be THAT expensive as I can't see it with all the money spent recently, it will not be cheap I know but....... see this link with more info: http://en.yacht4web.com/Tecnomarine/T+62/27155/brochure?K=SBS

I guess it's the unknown bits and what you want to do with It. I am assuming you want a boat and not an apartment.

Berthing
Fuel
Keeping 30 year old donks running
Repairs to the wooden bits
Repairs to the metal bits

Also, you have to question why spend all that money on refitting only to sell it for pittance...
 
What ever way you look at it, it seems to be a lot of boat for the money, even for a 25 year old, Man lumps with only 680 odd hours and the images of the engines and engine room look well maintained, but as you say deep pockets required just to take it for a spin to Cowes and back at £200-£300 per hour burn rate would make most of us have tears running from the corner of eyes, but you could always tell lies and say it was the wind at 30kts on the flybridge;)
 
£200-£300 an hour is nothing. In the March-April issue there is an article on Moco, a 46M Feadship and it says '...each engine sips a miserly 150 gph at 16 knots' I had to read the sentence several times to take it in. It did say miserly and it was gph not lph. Seriously deep pockets required for that!

Back to the bargain columns for me I'm afraid.

You wasted your time reading it several times I'm afraid :). MBY often don't sanity check their numbers. There is NO WAY a yacht like that (called Como, btw) burns so much fuel. 150 imperial gph per hour for both engines combined is plausible, so that will be the correct figure. =42 litres per mile. = ~£400/hour. She will mostly cruise more slowly though, perhaps 13 knots with guests and 11 on delivery trips, or something like that. Perhaps she averages 30-35 litres/mile

I did think it was a strange figure for such a 'small' boat. More in keeping with something twice the size. As to the cruising, that would be more my style anyway, pootling, as in Hurricanes videos. I can't imagine seeing too many dolphins if you spent the whole time with the taps fully open.

As to my spelling, I was typing too fast and transposed the letters. I wouldn't mind but I went upstairs to get the damned mag as I couldn't remember it's name!

Como and it was SuperYacht World not MBY.

As one would expect they did not bolt a fuel meter onto her and the figs were supplied (which we are now triple checking) and checked along with the rest of the article by the builder.

In fact last time I was on her (and jolly nice she is too) we probably did 300 gallons in one hour......of very fine Rosé

Like any good car dealer the owner has now moved her on...

Don't lose your sleep over that.
If the boat really has a couple of Cat C32 as reported, I'm afraid jfm is right in saying that a sanity check was more than enough to rule out the 150gph/engine... :rolleyes:

We are double checking anyhow but if the builder has checked it then it is highly likely it would not ring any further alarm bells

However as this has now come up we will be looking into those figs in the future.
