San Lorenzo's

We looked at the Mk2 version of the SL62 when we bought our Ferretti 630 from San Lorenzo. I thought it was a lovely boat and had it not been quite a bit more expensive than the Ferretti, I think I might have bought it
 
Sanlorenzo 62 is a timeless boat. It will stay nice forever, especially the version with the integrated radar arch as this (1997 till 1999).

Mk.1 version was so much high quality boat and was practically build the same as the bigger 72 to 100 models of the time.
Only nag is the very small crew cabin for 18 meters of boat.
 
the finishing, especially inside looks VERY familiar to me ;-)
so yes, I'm a big fan aswell !

I also know who should buy this boat, delivery trip from Cala Galera to south Sardegna is a piece of cake,
but has to install Stabilisers first
 
Aha! Now I see why I felt my ears burning, lately..... :D:D:D

Yep, having seen a couple of these boats lately, I definitely agree that in this market, for anyone interested in a P boat of the SL62 size, absolutely nothing comes close in terms of value for money.
I'm talking of Mk1 of course - in Mk2 they changed a lot of things, not all for the better, and imho they aren't worth their much higher quotation compared to the late 90s Mk1, whose build quality was outstanding.

Oh, and for those suggesting that I should go for a boat like this, pretty sure I would like to.
But as I think to have already mentioned, she's sadly a bit above the size limit we (swmbo particularly) gave ourselves... :(
Incidentally, just in case someone else would be interested, actually the one linked in the OP is not one of the best I've seen, for several reasons.
Still a beautiful vessel of course, but for that kind of money (if not a bit less), there are some around which imho are even better!

Yup agree with that. That folding bathing platform is quite bizarre and the asking prices are a bit silly. Having said that, had the SL62 we looked at when buying our F630 been in a similar ball park on price I think I might have had my head turned because I thought it was a proper little ship despite the quirks

We looked at a Mk 2 ,it had a wood floor and no high gloss so managed to get the wife aboard .
Access to sea as said seemed limeted ,there then appeared a requisite to sit on platform and dangle feet to cool off -it failed .
Also no helm doors it seemed a bit clostrophobic down stairs helm .
But for me biggest -ve was access to crew quarter (and engine room for Dailey checks ) it was via a unit in the galley .
You had to lift up a work top hinged ,fix it to stop it falling ,then swing the lower section "cupboard door " inwards ,fix that
To be presented with a vertical ladder down .
Crew area was just fwd of E room -there was a door which took you between the engines .
H+S looked like some one would fall down from the galley into that hole as there was a door out to side deck next to it ,
Again rushing back in and some ones opened it and boat pitches etc .
Any how fate re mooring put paid to 20 M stuff
No regrets

Access to the engine room on the SL62 we looked at was through the lazarette which was accessed via a cockpit hatch but I do remember that headroom was a bit tight doing that. Actually I thought the utility room/cabin under the galley was brilliant - a perfect place to store food and booze for long distance cruising. Just goes to show how different people think! The crew cabin on the boat we looked at was right at the bow. It wasn't a bad cabin except access was through the overhead hatch which meant that if it was raining, the beds got wet. I have to agree that the SL62 Mk2 would be a left field choice for many but I really liked it because it was a bit different to the usual Euro/UK production 60 footer and it felt like it was built like the proverbial brick outhouse
 
They are really nice ,with a timeless style - now 20years + .look @ Sunseekers latest 20 M offering and wonder how they will be received in 20 y time .
I guess it does mean (galley access) that crew can move about without "disturbing " owner/guests .
There seems a few formats here's some pic,s -not from the same boat ,but illustrates the galley -crew access .

It's was that unit in the corner ,on this boat it looks like a sink ,but the one I looked at under that was a vertical ladder on the floor side so you had to turn /twist around and decend with your back to the wall.

A bit claustrophobic --- but in the Med one would be upstairs .

Build Q yup right at the top ,
