We spent £90,000 on a refit on a tired 2007 Failrine Squadron 58 - was it worth it?
When buying a boat (or pretty much anything) you have the option to buy a perfect/concourse condition model, one in a good enough condition you can live with it or one that needs doing up.
This review show our Fairline Squadron 58 started off in the later camp, it was showing its age, with dated fabrics and lots of wear and tear - so we opted for a full refit and wanted to see if it was economically viable.
James walks through the boat giving a tour of how each part of the boat has been modified and reviews the work carried out by Setag Yachts.
We hope you enjoy seeing the boats transformation, please let us know in the comments your thoughts.
The Squadron 58 is now available to buy:

See our previous Fairline Squadron 58 video showing a detailed look of the features of the boat:

Stunning, the £90k you have spent will add £150k at least to the boat, I would have loved to have seen and heard what had been done to the engine and the engine room, lets face it, the thing that scares us all is an engine that will fail a few months after you buy a boat. I love the modern update to this boat, this is one of my favourite boats anyway just because of the ironing board.

Stunning refit. Saw it a while back on Aquaholic, and again today on Motor Boat & Yachting. I do think the upstairs table, the edge/fiddle should have been sprayed in a darker colour/black to give it some contrast (a bit like how the downstairs fiddles & edges are black). Not a big deal through.

Buy a preowned boat, sink about 20 -25% of the value of the boat into a refit and bring it up to the what you wanted in the first place. Some areas are going to need more love that others but it will be worth all the cash you put into it.

Is that the one that was on aquaholic? It looks good. A bit expensive maybe. 330k for a used 58 and 90k for a refit. How did you get to 550k? Do ready to sail boats sell at that markup? Did you overpay for the used boat? 500k seems a bit more reasonable.
@Boatscouk
@Boatscouk 2 роки тому
Hi Marti. She is 09 model so c£400k retail value pre refit. £90k on Setag but we also spent more on engineering stuff. So say £520k and then we need to make a small profit and allow for a small discount. It’s all about right and she is unique !

Great refit James but for a couple of things...at 3.21 you said the master cabin looked horrible before and gave us a ‘before photo’. The problem is, it looks exactly the same but for two things, the curtains and the wall covering. The 2nd cabin looks pretty much the same too. I don’t like all the ‘browns’, they’re a bit dated to say the least but the saloon looks great. But I have to say, it can be difficult to see where £90k went. Did they refurb the engines too...I don’t think so?!
