Great start, "I'm gunna teach you two things" (as he holds up three fingers lol) about this boat.

Watched a million boat videos. This one, is by far, the most helpful and useful of them all. You have a wealth of experience James. Thank you for passing it along to us. And for making them fun to watch! Bring back the toilet jokes.

Thank you, love the fact that you are honest about engine and floor. Most if all telling it as it is £33k to run a 47 foot boat as a ball park figure. This takes nothing away from the boat but shows real professional sales from a professional sales company. Its clear you want people to be able to both buy and run there boats. Don't worry about the helm as other boat UKpostsrs can talk about them.

I worked as a broker / salesman / IT in the yacht brokerage world for many years in the 90s and 00s, the one thing I learned above all else was never buy your own boat, borrow someone else's. Portofino was a superb boat I borrowed one a few times, the Princess V 40s were better quality though in the day. Dunno what Sunseeker are like now I have not been on anything more glamorous than a fishing boat for years now. Interesting video, brought back some good memories.

Best video to date, these funny and brutally honest reviews are great. Keep up the good work James 👍

This has to be the best and most comprehensive presentation I've ever seen. A little humour goes a long way too. Thank you James

I hate salesmen that won't be upfront about costs. Guess that means I really like you and your channel.

Best sales man ever👍

I like how at 0:27 you said "two things" while having 3 fingers up. 🤣 it made the video even better !

Super! Love the way you are open and honest about the real costs of running a boat - breath of fresh air !

I’m an American. Aside from the fact that you remind me of Ricky Jervais, I’d like to say thanks for the walk-through. Especially the bit where you break out the numbers. Cheers from across the pond, sir.

What a brilliant review ! I can't afford to service the the toilets on this boat, let alone worrying about v drives and what not. But when I can afford it - I'll be listening to James.

Really enjoyed that. Brilliant explanation on the ‘V’ drives. Love how straightforward and thorough you are regarding the costing. Learnt what GRP is ‘Glass Reinforced Plastic’ = every day’s a school day. Becoming a big fan of you James xx

Brilliant review/Vlog/ Info....amazingly honest and really a pleasure to watch. Look forward to more of these :)

From James' illustration with the 20 pound notes AND his video shot of how close together the engine/V-box/shaft mechanicals are located, another V-drive negative becomes obvious: a less horizontal shaft angle. Couple that with the V-drive mechanicals to service, and one REALLY has to want that larger aft cabin.

Well, contrary to some others' views, I love this ... perfect for us. Nearly bought one a year ago. And, a very amusing review James, keep 'em coming, I like the warts and all style. Very refreshing. I'll be in the market later this year for something very much like this... I'm only an hour away from you so I'll come and have a look.

Such a beautiful craft.

Your videos are getting better and better, I like your sense of humour 😆 The cost section was really good broad brush, and makes sense. Very refreshing with your honesty, makes me want to buy from you!! Loved the comment regarding the ice makers…..Keep up the good work.

Honesty and professionalism makes a huge difference. You deliver in this video essencial information to any potential buyer in this category and they will be thankful for that. Liked video and subscribed channel. Thank you.

You are the best salesman in the Universe. Pure genius and I am not as did not have a clue about the 20 euro notes example! Brilliant. Thank you.

Thank you great review

Lovely boat and a great team you have there at Boats U.K., looked after me when I bought and sold my boat through them. Give it a couple years (when I’ve retired and got some more time to enjoy boating) and I’ll be down to see you all again.

Great video and love the honesty!

I only came across your channel a few weeks ago and think ive watched them all. You’re the channel that EVERY BOATER / POTENTIAL BOATER needs to see. Ive seen some reviewers gloss over known let downs / visible damage with boats over the years when they are just simply reviewing someone else stock boat… (likely ££ involved and they dont want to not be invited back) as the person selling this boat, you still call a spade a spade. Brilliant. I’ll be keeping an eye on your stock, id buy a boat from you guys over the phone based on your word alone. More vids!!

Great Vid! Thanks for the math. I spent some time converting to US Dollars, and it still makes sense. I'm sold on Sunseekers, just because of the looks. Shoot, I've spent so much on boats in my life, (and by the way, not a penny wasted) My next boat will be a Sunseeker.

nice little boat, good presentation of the costs.

Just watched the first 6 1/2 minutes and this is by far the best boat review and hilarious sense of humor I’ve seen in a long time. I’m definitely a new subscriber I look forward to seeing more of your reviews. Absolutely love the humor and honesty! Bevy of beauties, ice makers are horrible, trash in wine cooler, speedometer inaccurate etc 🤣 now this is helpful!

The video was exceptional your honesty explaining everything perfect.

Great video! I learned what a drive is and types of floors! Very informative! Spoke in a clear manner and speed! I loved it! Good job!! Also gave up some things to be wary of but without shaming the boat or turning a potential customer off! I would be happy to have you a ms a sales guy!

Maybe mention the distance and cost with much slower speeds. I admire the honesty, this has got my thinking about how I can own and run a boat. The transparency allows me to understand what is required! Love this channel.

Beautiful boat! Cracking sense of humor!

Lovely boat and that’s a good honest overview... 👍🏻

thank you for your honesty

I appreciate the honesty and its quite a fun review. Cheers!

Great video and really good info. Keep this type of content coming please as enjoy the boat reviews.

Absolutely brilliant informative video, one of the best I have watched. Thank you.

I really like this channel only just found it. Love your honesty, brilliant that. Really enjoyed the video thank you.

Saving up patiently for this.

Nice to see the full picture of boat ownership. I really liked the honesty and so became a subscriber. 👍👏

Great insights and details for any potential boat owner! Thank you!

Saw this as an ad in game for a shipping app. I never pay attention to the 30 second ads much, but this was a hoot! I watched the entire thing! You could easily do standup, so understated and clever! The only ad better than this one, is the Alkaseltzer Mama Mia TV ad from the 60’s! If I ever get a business going again, I am going to hire you to perform in my advertisements! Tell your boss that I said so. That way, they can’t cry about losing you one day when you get an offer for what you are worth!

Great honesty...Many thanks! Out of my league for sure.

Great video, easy to watch and good bit of banter! Subbed

I like the straight forward sums with no bullcrap.

I had that boat, same color, took 20 people off the Hudson into Manhattan. Great ride.

I was about to take the plunge until you mentioned the plywood floor! Even my Bayliner 175 has a glass floor liner! :) Nice style of review. I've just subscribed and am going to look through your other videos. Thanks!

Great video, especially the running costs explained

Excellent honest review. More please.

Another great tour, which was also enlightening. Had to turn the volume on the TV up though! 😂😜

OMG finally we get a boat review giving us realistic cost of ownership along with the good, the bad and the what could be ugly. Anyone looking to get into boat ownership needs to pay attention to this.

Class vid. Very informative. And well prestressed. I really enjoyed this. M.

Great video, the humour makes it. brilliant to see a video like this that's local! Even sold the top man there some bits today

You crack up me up :) great video 📹

Excellent 👍 thanks for the information

First time on the channel and I've learned more about boats and the cost of running them than I have anywhere else 👍

I learnt more in this video than all other boat reviews combined:) subscribed:)

It was at that time, when you did the cost breakdown, that I realised I will only ever own a jetski!. Nice video thanks

Great honesty!

That was informative. Great job

About 30 years ago someone said to me a boat costs 10% of its cost to run each year. Still not a million miles out.

Have just watched this video, I’m would never be able to own a boat and don’t wish to, having said that this was a very interesting video on ownership and running cost, you confirmed my thoughts, very enjoyable video. 👍

First time comment. Excellent review and I loved your honesty is this vid thanks for sharing with us.

Great video. Always interesting to know. Sound is much better. Cheers.

Brilliant. Old shool salesman. Honest and on the ball. Great review 👏

Thank you for giving us a true and honest review of this boat. Many people don't seem to point out any flaws in their reviews. If sunseeker compromised on the floors and engines, which is visible, I wonder if they also compromised on things like the hull and stringers to save money.

Honest, sincere, professional and quite funny vid. Lots of respect, sir.

Ok here’s my Boston take away, 42k US dollars ( about 70k if you finance) I was thinking it was a lot of money but then I remembered he was using currency to explain the engines which made me think really what’s money for use it as a prop to explain something of just let it blow around the table it no big deal! I’ll buy two as long as we agree a the definition of a boat is a hole in the water which money flows thru. All joking aside, we’ll done! Informative and entertaining.

Great job with this video

Incredible insights and really some fair statements. Would love to buy my next boat with an advise like this.. thank you James!

hi, been following you for a short while, i loved this video and could you do some more like this, about sailing boats

Hi James. Honest, practical and humour video. Its good imfomation for a potential buyer comparison to fairline, princess. Great video thanks 😊

Was working at sunseeker yesterday pulling a hull from a mold. Bit bigger than a 47 though. Its fascinating looking at the construction and how strong they are. Brilliant video though.

Ha ha . What an honest bloke. Well done. Great insightful video. Best I go for something with oars!

Best honest video out there!!

Thank you so much for your honest review. I have a 80 meter luxury boat, Joking. but i will look into a boat with oars.

Great walk around !!!!

This is the first video of yours that I've seen, nicely done, liked and subscribed..

Excellent, excellent review mate! #brilliant!!

Very useful video Thx!!!

Very informative and enjoyable video. When you mentioned £12,000 berthing fees per annum is that for the South Coast or is that what you would charge at Wallasea? If it would be less at Wallasea what would the current rate be for berthing that boat there with good access at all states of the tide?

Great video James. As always loving your honesty and for sure this is a great boat……but still not a Princess!!! And agree on your estimate of annual costs-we have a V45 so not dissimilar overall and reckon that our is costing us around 30k a year without any finance.

Fantastic info and video Looks like your mic gain is correct, but the audio in the video editing software itself should be boosted (good quality turned up is better than bad source quality at a high volume!) Thanks for all the genuine perspective on real world ownership, it is very helpful

Yeh appreciate the candid details - tell me as it is sorta thing, without beating round the bush. Thanks bud

Excellent show James ☺️☺️☺️

That's some real straight talk

First time viewing your channel. Fantastic……

New to the channel. “Show off down the yacht club”, “Massive party pumping tunes” . I hope I never get to moor next to you Chief. I prefer the “Nice place to tuck yourself away with a good book” boat review approach.

Love your watch mate! I have one myself.

Excellent video. Is that a Sealine F42 in the back ground?

Great video

You’re a lucky man James living my dream - And I’ve just seen you sailed around the Balearics! Not sure I could get there with an outboard motor 😂

Amazing channel

Loving your channel, I don't know if its just me , but even with the volume turned up to full . I still find the voice very soft.

Fantastic video ! Would be great to see this on more boats - targa 38? 😁

Lovely boat and one of my favourites at this size, I didn't know you had one, but two things for me as regards the engines and the V drive is that the setup is less fuel efficient than a straight shaft and that doing any stern gland work is very time consuming and thus more costly than other boats, one final thing that people either forget or ignore is that the high low platform also requires maintenance otherwise it could end up sticking when you least want it , yet more cost. Any boat of this size costs about the £30000 mark to maintain , my personal advice would be to put at least £5000 per annum to one side to cover repairs or breakages, she is over 12 years old now after all. Great video BTW and the sound is spot on now. :)

Most honest boat salesman ever!

Great video. Thoroughly enjoyed. Let's say for instance you had a 90 foot boat. Would that be double in cost per year or would it be verging on the 100k mark as for running and costs. Thank you for the input on real costs

Daddy Jimmy B🤗 Stumbling across your channel was one of the most pleasant surprises to me recently! A rare _thank you_ note to the UKposts recommendations 😊

Great and amusing video. It has made me realize, looking at the numbers, that If I saved; and budgeted, really well, I still could not afford this boat.

Hehe cant take this guy seriously at all "2 things holds 3 fingers" then the peak around the bow😂 😂
