I think all the Sport Yacht series is awesome, and all have Mulder involved
Mulder Yachts is nice too, last winter we had the 59 Open version berthed here, lovely alloy constructed boat with a semi-planning round bilge hull, from the outside it looked impressively finished
a 4400 Sport Yacht should also be coming to our shores, will be interesting to see also...
in Sicily Porto Rosa I saw the Riv 4700 SY coming in a very choppy sea Force 5/6 NW, taking it head quater she was handling it also fantastic that I was impressed
the one I visited was a 2 year old boat and was perfect
but I visited a new 4400 Sport Yacht just arrived from Aussie and had the issues you encountered
the Italian dealer told me, that the situation is nearly always a bit like that but they usually adjust everything to perfection before delivering with his staff
I had to do a new part of the blog called picture review of this but we could not contact the owner, so we could not make it
then I saw a 47 which was absolut perfect
still I liked the finish in the engineroom, lazarettes etc,
finishing of the cabinetry is not the most shiny you encounter but it is ok for me

shame the rooflights are small but then again in oz i guess keeping out the sun is more important. Out of interest what does it cost over there?

Price is about 300.000 EUROS ex VAT, over here in the Med, but the boat comes fully loaded with a 4 KW Onan, AC included and bow thruster and Volvo D6 370hp which 30/31 max
with Cummins QSC 380 you go an extra of 10k,
I think you want be bothered much with the hatches as the side windows open so well that you will have a lot light inside
with the cheap US$ you might get a saving of about 100k for a 1 year old model, and there is not much electricity to change in this size...
