Looks great where are these taken?

She looks well. Very graceful and in top nick by the looks of things. Nice photos, where is the last one taken?

First one is up the Hamble near Mercury, I think. Second is going up Southampton Water with the Calshot chimney in the background. I'm guessing the last one is up at Marchwood?

all taken on south coast, Poole,Southampton water and Fawley Power Station SC.

for an old girl, she's in good condition, the invoices are all about spending on the mechanical side, new props in May, April, legs overhauled by Volvo, with numerous other invoices, back to 98 when the last owner purchased her from the first owner with all the history back to the delivery note from Sunseeker in 1988,

The newness has worn off of the trim and upholstery,but she has no crazing, cracks, or blisters, but she is what she is,a mature lady, with a touch of class still.
the last photo is at Fawley SC, where she now lives under the eye of 24/365 cctv security,for an undisclosed yearly fee

Cracking boat, wish they were all built like that, timeless classic and still a looker today, congratulations on a great buy.

Nice boat!

Mind you I might be a bit biased

 

[Whitelighter]

Wow, she looks simply stunning. Right, next time I have a hull that needs a wax I'll give you a shout (what are you doing mid september???)

Firts photo is I think at Mitchells Boat Yard now known as Parkstone Bay Marina. Nice walk in the park in the backgound into Poole Quay. Classy boat.

Jez, Thanks. I would claim the credit but unfortunately Moose No 1 can blow the lid on my story: /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif 'twas Peters what polished her.

She looks beautifull indeed. Is she an XPS 34?.......I used to love those Sunseekers when I was at the real fantasising abiut boat ownereship stage of my life 20 odd years ago!!

Lovely condition, and a cracker

Jas.

Thanks Jas--no she`s a 1990 Martinique 36. The subject of many hours restoration and hard graft with plenty to go. New covers coming in 2 weeks /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
