Marquis 560 Fly 2008

[Dhafer]

Hello,
I'm looking to buy a Marquis 560 Flybridge 2008, anyone owned one before and can share some inputs on the quality, stability, comfort, performance ?
She has 2 x Volvo D12 - 775 hp.
Any input about the engines and their robustness and durability would also be very helpful.
Many thansk.

I had a survey job on one of the 560's predecessors, the 55, here 6 years ago - this vessel was built in 2007 by the Carver Boat Company in Wisconsin, USA. She has the same Volvo D-12 engines.
She generally seemed to be a nice boat, although I did get the impression that they were trying hard to copy European boats, but not quite succeeding.
Two of the windows in the hull had cracks in them - I don't know if this boat was just particularly unfortunate re other boat bows coming into contact with these windows (I was not able to obtain any info as to how these cracks occurred), or if the cracks were perhaps 'self inflicted' by the hull 'working' (flexing) while underway at speed in rough seas?

Marquis Yachts appear to only build a 42' motor yacht now - very different to the 560 -

Many thanks for your inputs... I will pay attention to the windows, I'm visiting it next week-end...
