Doesn't do it for me. Fabio Buzzi STAB with a hard top.

Sure it goes very well and suspect the SS marketing machine will find some day boat buyers with deep pockets but £600K + its a no from me..
 
Spose the 'market' is for use as a 'chase boat' type toy tender for the Superyacht market
Where the sophistcated tastes of the Clients will appreciate the styling etc
:nonchalance:;)
 
Whats wrong with it? I've got seats that colour in my car
 
umm not what I was expecting

engines not cheap either MSRP for the Verado 400R ranges from $31,530 to $36,120 with a two-year warranty

Wonder what the service interval is for those
 
I love the seats. I don't love how it doesn't connect well with the water for swimmers etc. A wally tender does that much better.

Definitely +1, but that's a typical drawback of O/Bs.
There's an easy fix though: just buy the real thing, which btw is faster even if diesel powered....

Very nice! Mr B does like those rib tubes these days. Btw, I met him a few weeks ago, very briefly. Charming man; complete gentleman.
 
Well chaps, I have to say that I am quite proud of it having had a lot of input.
So I can accept those who say its not a pedigree Sunseeker, without a Shead hull, but there have been FB Sunseeker before in the XS2000.
And what's so wrong about getting a specialist to do the development: think Lotus and all the engineering it does for major car makers?
So I accept that its an acquired taste but its certainly different and looks stunning to me.
The Mercury 400 R's have direct racing heritage and its a genuine 60 knot plus boat.
Having done some time in her the handling is great, surefooted and the hull feels incredibly rigid thanks to the FB foam filling. Think of the construction as very large Boston Whaler and you get the drift...
The paint finish is very good, the colour combinations stunning and its packed with kit and features.
I hope that it will find lots of happy owners who appreciate the name, the style, the speed and quality.

Wrong audience here , they mostly like boats with stuff like guardrails . :)
One step at a time .

If you are happy with your boat, that's all that matters.
Enjoy. :encouragement:
