Hello!!
Yes yes again I would like to discuss about Squadron 55 2001. It is very expensive buy for me and I would like to be sure about what I am doing..
So that's why I would like to listen your opinions and if you know any better choice with that money I would like to think it. I know that Squadron 58 is even better and we have 1 for sale in Greece with 1850hours 2003 in very good condition with total damaged exterior teak everywhere at 300k last price. I don't want to give 100k more haha!
As about the boat I like very much the saloon. One sofa for saloon and one for dining. I like the side door, the interior steps, very useful the washmachine room. Comfortable crew cabin. Generally the space of this boat is great. Fly it looks good but not at SQ58 haha. Neither like MK3 SQ55. SQ58 and SQ55 mk3 they have huge round sofa without any sunbed. The table convert to big sunbed with the sofa. It is better but ok this type of fly layout give you so much space in the deck that you can do party. Generally I like it very much this boat.
It has 1100hours, VAT paid, full services and just antifouling paint!
Very good GPS with radar and 4 camera, bow and stern and generally full equipment.


Speed Test (1 week in the water after antifouling)
2300 WOT 33.5
2100 Fast Cruise 30.5
D12 715HP
Unbelievable fast boat. Most fly are going max 25-28kn! An Azimut 46 that I did sea trial was max speed 25kn!!

Someone from Fairline Facebook Page send me this notes with fuel consumption of a Squadron 55 with same engines.
At the video you can see that the Squadron that I am interesting to buy is even faster than these notes.
It looks fantastic. At 1900 25knots and 6.6l/mile fuel consumption. Squadron burns less than Ferretti 430?? (22kn 150l 6.8l/m).

Very different type of boat, but what about a SeaRanger 448 - £180k in Hythe, UK. Wouldn't want anything else without at least spending £200-300k more.

That's fine, you're entitled to your opinion but try not to be offensive please. I own the sister ship to that boat and they are very fine vessels as many on here will attest.

I won't comment on MV Cambe (in Lefkas), it wouldn't be fair. I will just say that there are various reasons why people sell boats cheap which do not reflect on the marque as a whole.
 
I am very sorry if my post looked like offensive!! Just i am interesting about something like Squadron 55 01.. Not like Searanger 430 97.. Not like Possilipo 80 2014.. The boat that you suggest me is far better than my previous boat but cannot compared with a Squadron 2001!

Thank you for coming back on here with this and posting pics .....saves a 1000 words + questions .(y)

Buy it .I like the WOT numbers this time that’s how it should be .......@ the sea trial .

So should be a good one with the engines D12 is better than the 74 p s on the last boat , the F430 .

As far as size you will get used to it .

I didn't noticed that.. I will check it! I noticed that the left hour meter doesn't work. At the inside dash both working as I remember.

Yes I think it is a great choice! Of course cannot compare with the Ferretti 430 as this boat is a lot bigger. I like the interior material qualities. I like the layout. I think it is a perfect boat and with that money there isn't any better boat. I checked everything. Powerfull A/C, eveything work. Strong bow stern. Almost silent the generator!! At Ferretti you heard it a lot... not so annoying but you heard it! Maybe because it in in different place. I hope to do a valuable buy.
