This is the first time in all of your videos that I’m truly disappointed that I’m not in a position to buy. That is a simply stunning boat. Love the surface drives. I’m not really given to longing for things, but I really really would love to have something exactly like this. As always Nick. Thank you so much for taking us along. ❤❤❤
What a beautiful Superhawk. The interior and the 3 engines. Can't wait until you show us the brand new Superhawk 55. Thx Nick for another great boat tour, of a real "Racer-boat". Have a nice day 😊
I love a classic sunseeker as much as the next person, and I do love the triple engines and a new engine that I have never properly seen before. Lovely boat and brilliant tour thanks Nick!
Great video as always Nick! I was amazed by how you literally can hear the quality of the boat when you where down in the galley opening and closing the covers and doors. You have to love the solid clunk noise of quality wood closing with no creaking at all. Thanks as always!
This boat is full of performance, style, clever engineering, and expert craftsmanship that used to be Sunseeker, from the surface drives to that table that popped up. Apparently no longer, looking at their latest Superhawk 55.
You have no idea the amount of memories this brought back up, a friends uncle had one exactly like this, it was the biggest boat i had boarded and one of the few that wasn't a sport fisherman, i was fascinated by it. Thanks for the vid and the memories
10/10 for speed and style, no room even to breathe, miniature heads, just one cabin and it's also a mechanic's nightmare : i love this boat. It's a fine, fine instrument of torture for people who like to suffer in style. Makes Dolceriva look spacious and comfy. Did i say that i love it ?
It's tours (or times) like these you make me appreciate my stocky, tiny frame very much! 🤣🤣 I'm sure this would be a real tonne of fun for her new owners. Loved the tour! 😍
I hope the "classic Sunseeker" does not replace the "classic Nordhavn" ;) At first I wasn't into these older boats, as they feel even older than they are. But after watching a couple of re-modeling videos, I always see the potential. Thanks for all your great videos.
Stunningly well maintained. Aside from a few headliner issues and one of the rev counters, it looks like it's in new (2001) condition. Speed is not a priority for me but I can certainly see how this one could be an absolute blast! Thanks for the tour!
@@AQUAHOLIC : Nick, I was going to ask if this had potential to be Smuggler's Blues 3. But I think you would need a bit more headroom being 6'2". Though it's definitely a nice boat especially for its age & I'm sure it is loads of fun to drive.
Hi, yes another nice sunseeker , there use to be one in Christchurch and a very small boat mechanic , called Dennis Tomes , with a great heart who was the only one of compact size who could service the 3rd engine as there not handed . So when seeing his mobile workshop parked buy it , would tap on the hull and say nice boat and wait for Dennis to reply with very color full choice of words . God bless him RIP . And hope that God has not got one . Thanks for the tour Nick, now with a tear running down my check . Fun and sorrow all the way .
I’m glad you called it an Aston Marin. I always thought of Fairline, Princess and Sunseeker as being the ‘Ford’ of weekend/leisure boats. I’m always happy to be educated. Every day is a school day. 😘 She’s *another* class beauty. Hard to believe she’s 20+ years old.
Princess and Sunseeker as the 'Ford' of leisure boats. You have some weird ideas Julie. I've always looked at Princess as being the Rolls-Royce of boats and Sunseeker as being the sportier Bentley versions. With Fairline as being the Jaguar range not quite up to the Bentleys and Rolls-Royces perfection, but all being stunning top range boats.
That is one of the coolest engine hatches! Sunseeker quality always shines through and that is a stunning boat. Not for me, but I am so glad things like this exist.
That looks fantastic for its age, love the interior, a lot bigger than it looks from outside and the headroom is ok for us sub 6 footer's. The engines look awesome and I too love the red interior. Lovely tour as always Nick many thanks.
Great looking boat, love the Superhawk! Only drawback I can see is the maintenance on those 3 beasts must be astronomical. Can’t wait to see the new Superhawk later this year which I’m sure will be a highlight for Sunseeker. Thanks Nick for sharing!
Maintenance will be a pittance compared to fuel costs if you use those throttle levers to their full extent... but what a lovely financial suicide it would be.
The maintenance of these engines is really not an issue. One of the most reliable engines I know. Here they are in action ruclips.net/video/SWtON6BuPwE/видео.html
She is gorgeous. That cockpit is just stunning. Its certainly a boat to show off. She wouldn't look out of place in a bond movie. Thank you so much for sharing her with us Nick. She is a beauty
20 years old and still worth a couple of hundred grand... Wow... That`s what Sunseeker means.. Style power seakeeping and residuals... Just awesome looking. I just love it
I am a yachts lover, I saw couples of videos in the internet, especially on RUclips. And again I never found anyone interesting with the plot in the description and fun to watch like you.
I remember thinking that these were, and still are, incredible value for the amazing engineering and performance you get. The snag, is of course in running costs. Apart from 33% higher engine servicing, your berthing fees will end up being for 50ft plus, giving you the same accommodation inside, as something around 34ft with a Fairline Targa etc. in a South Coast marina, that’s a lot of dosh every year. That said, if you fancy a fast dash across the bay, your are never gonna get overtaken in this!
Fountain 38 Express cruiser. Goes 70MPH with the 525’s and cruises at 50MPH getting 1.2MPG. The Diesel version tops out at 55MPH but most impressively cruises at 40MPH while getting 2.3MPG. All while having two full sized beds and being under 38’. To put that into perspective the 50 superhawk gets .75MPG at only 36MPH. Burns almost 3 times the gas of the diesel 38 express at cruise speed.
Flippin ‘eck… that’s a lovely interior! Super glossy & very much like the interior of an Aston of that era! Definitely a cherished sports boat that still looks every bit the part, love it!!! Thanks Nick 😃👍🏻
What a stunning craft! And in fabulous condition too... It's obviously been properly cared for and maintained...once again a very interesting and professional presentation...well done you! We never tire of your excellent features 👌 Big thanks 😊
Nearer to Bentley or Aston Martin, they're hand built. Jeanneau (like mine!), Beneteau etc would be nearer to Ford, Vauxhall etc. Perfectly good, but more mass produced (and hence cheaper).
@@AQUAHOLIC thanks Nick. Sorry my first comment vanished, so I reposted and ended up kind of replicating it, but I truly appreciate your explanation. And of course I know you have a Jeanneau 🥰👌🏻
Wow, for a 20 year old boat that is some flying machine nick, with racing car seating and sleek design typical sunseeker. It's in excellent condition with updated radar,GPS and ice maker etc. A lovely tour of a classic sunseeker speed machine 😀!
I was lucky enough to be 'given' one of these for a day for a big birthday and what a boat. We had a recorded speed flat out of 70mph!!! verified by boat and phone. We also burned through £600 of diesel in a very short time but what a day!!
Knowing your love of Sports boats Nick, I would say 'that's a bit of you'! I bet you had a tingle running through your brain when walking around her....."should I sell my soul to the devil"? The cabinetry is just amazing. Sunseeker's of this era just knock the ball out of the park. I bet every fibre in your body ached to own this one. Miami Vice UK style!
I think the design style of these beautiful machines will be looked back in the same light as the high end 50/60s classic cars, in that the design lines and simplicity of their organic shapes were just stunning.
Love the video and totally agree with the analogy to classic cars, another of my hobbies. I bought a Superhawk 48 12mths ago. It had been abandoned in boatyard in Ibiza. I had it transported to a yard in the North Wedt where It is being totall
Thank you Nick for another great tour, I love the look of these older superhawks, boats with attitudes as i call them . I am so looking forward to sunseeker releasing the new Superhawk 55 and can not wait until you can review one , pls ask them if you can do a sea trial on one as i know you will love it
Can’t wait to see your tour of the new Super Hawk. The computer renderings look tremendous! Glad they’re bringing it back. Hope we don’t have to wait long for Sunseeker to get one out the door!
Thank You Nick! Love these "proper" Sunseeker tours... My Sunseeker Hawk 27 isnt quite as luxurious as this but I love her anyway.... More classic sports yachts/boats please...
What a wee beastie. I can imagine the fun factor hugging the coastline. Would also make short work of the English Channel, and as you stated, perfect for two. A few minor mechanical and electrical fixes and cosmetics to attend to but the best part is the price. There's a lot of craft for your money. We'll presented Nick.
What a cool boat!!! Right in the kind of price range that I could realistically afford one day, though I would never ever buy anything like that with that money. Seeing those 3 diesels made me envision money evaporating on maintenance and upkeep. Would sure love to be able to have one for a weekend or something though! Just not anything I would ever see myself wanting to own. Great video as always Nick! Thanks!
And thank you Nick for this impresive show of this Sunseeker Superhawk 50 still a nice fly machine from 21years a go with 3 big Yanmar enigens I was thinking in with boat has also those big Yanmar engines the Supermarine Swordfish from a meet the onwners also nice cabine/salon thanks again Nick a great show to start the week
Wow would love to see that out on the water at top speed. Prop position might be an advantage too for those crab and lobster pot lines floating about everywhere , though at 50 knots she’d probably cut straight through . What a rocket .
Very niiiiice! Digital displays are the choice for modern boats but those engine dials on the walnut is something else 😍 Would be nice to see these brought back in some modern boats. btw, 5'10" sounds like a perfectly reasonable height to me 😜
Hi Nick,my Father in law had a 48 from new back in the noughties,and a 34 before that which he also had from new.Beautiful boat with jet ski performance,i remember he had a bow thruster retro fitted because if the wind caught the front things could get interesting.
This boat is perfect for what you and Marianne do! I would love to see you guys on this boat flat out! And, the price is very good from what I can tell. ???? 😁👍✌
Hey Nick …What a machine … Absolutely love these … and with surface drives 👍❤️❤️…. Such a shame Sunseeker don’t seem to fit surface drives anymore ….. Only problem with this …is the 3 Engines…. Cost a fortune to service every year 😱😢….. But a real flying machine … just Awesome …. Great tour as usual 👍❤️🛥
That's amazing Nick. All that lovely wood. Must cost a fair penny in maintaining such a lovely boat. I guess the props would be expensive to repair or replace if they got damaged. This one I would like to see running.
Tucked up "behind" the hull as the props are, I wouldn't think grounding would be a likely source of prop damage, so it's only flotsam you'd have to worry about.
Enjoyable as always and having watched the teaser for the new superhawk yesterday, the differences are vast! A sleek and slender speed machine! Also not seen surface drives with a rudder before, so interesting to compare against Arneson drives.
Glad to read I'm not losing my mind. It's been ages since I've seen pictures of surface drives, but I thought I recalled them pivoting at the transom like stern drives. This one had me puzzled until Nick pointed out how they qualified as surface drives. I used to see Arneson's boats go by, but of course I couldn't see the drives when they were in the water.
I remember seeing these on catalogs back then! Still sexy! I would re-upholster it, paint the blue gelcoat gray, and matte the cherry interior! Can you pre-order it for me Nick?
Totally agree with you. So much better than the new 55. If one does not mind the dealing with the age, it is quite nice. Seems as though having three iron lumps in the stern would not do well in the handling department. Would like to find out! Enjoy your Sunseeker videos.
Looks amazing and indeed it is sexy and as you say it is just built for just one thing speed, i also loved was the armchair style seating fantastic. They could just have strapped three engines on two big sunbathing areas and saved a lot of work on the rest of the yacht. Love seeing different things just not for me.
Not being a speed freak I think it just looks like a very expensive but very beautiful play thing. Loved the analogue instrument panel and the lounge area looked quite funky...a bit like a scary ride at a theme park! The curved wood is superb, no corners on anything, just beautiful curves. The boat itself is so not me but I can't help but admire it...as Ian said below. I also can't believe how immaculate the engine room is. A serious point now....these 20 year old boats, the body is often perfect, but I wonder what the normal wear and tear of moving parts is....by that I mean engine components...highly expensive engine components and gear boxes...components like those have a finite life and once they start to need replacement will pretty much right off the boat surely? What is the life span for a boat like this? The manufacturer must know how many hours you can realistically expect from the engine and gear box etc. Anyone?
Great to see a surface drive boat for the first time on this channel, I have been waiting for it! If I understand correctly its more common in the 'med?
Never imagined a speed boat with toiltet/shower a bedroom galley and huge lounge. Impressed 👍👌
This is the first time in all of your videos that I’m truly disappointed that I’m not in a position to buy. That is a simply stunning boat. Love the surface drives. I’m not really given to longing for things, but I really really would love to have something exactly like this. As always Nick. Thank you so much for taking us along. ❤❤❤

Has the looks and style to say look at me, but also blows everyone away when you hit the throttles and blast into the distance. wonderful.

Stunningly well maintained. Aside from a few headliner issues and one of the rev counters, it looks like it's in new (2001) condition. Speed is not a priority for me but I can certainly see how this one could be an absolute blast! Thanks for the tour!
Boat rev counters often do weird things when the ignition is turned off, never understood why. They zero as soon as you turn it back on normally.
@@AQUAHOLIC that's quite amusing

Always love seeing Sunseeker on your channel.. The Thunderhawk 43 was the boat that got me interested in bigger boats
That is one of the coolest engine hatches!
Sunseeker quality always shines through and that is a stunning boat. Not for me, but I am so glad things like this exist.
Hi Nick. This is a rocket. Beautiful lines, saloon, galley, sunpad, decent cockpit. Very nice. Great walkthrough video tour thanks 😊
That is one sexy boat indeed! I absolutely love that helm, with the woodwork and all those gauges, it looks so cool :)

Now THATS a timeless design. I would have NEVER guessed she was 20 year old!! Impeccably maintained.
2001 is classic - makes me feel so old :)
Wow, she looks like a dart! Stunning boat, I remember seeing one of these rumble into Falmouth back in late 90's.
Excellent, thanks Nick.
She is gorgeous. That cockpit is just stunning. Its certainly a boat to show off. She wouldn't look out of place in a bond movie. Thank you so much for sharing her with us Nick. She is a beauty
Couldn't agree more!
The 34 footer superhawk was in a bond movie back when this was made...
@@GoldenCroc Yes I remember that boat
20 years old and still worth a couple of hundred grand... Wow... That`s what Sunseeker means.. Style power seakeeping and residuals... Just awesome looking. I just love it

Very stunning boat Nick. I have never seen on like that. Great stuff.
Great video Nick.
It's really impressive they have got 3 engines pushed down into the narrow boat. 👍

I wish! 🙂

I can't wait either!
I like the fat slow boats that have a lot of headroom an light and might go anywhere. Wonderful work.
Absolutely amazing speed machine.
Great vid as usual, i love the Superhawk. I cant wait for the new Superhawk 55 to come out and for you to do a tour of that. 😃
This Sunseeker is very well maintained.
Can’t wait to see your tour of the new Super Hawk. The computer renderings look tremendous! Glad they’re bringing it back. Hope we don’t have to wait long for Sunseeker to get one out the door!
Me too!
Love these vintage of boats would buy long before a new one
My Portofino 46 had the same cockpit table. Great idea!
2:40 Love the pitter patter of little feet on the boardwalk. 😄
Thank You Nick! Love these "proper" Sunseeker tours... My Sunseeker Hawk 27 isnt quite as luxurious as this but I love her anyway.... More classic sports yachts/boats please...
Love the Hawk 27! Tried to buy one once.
Awesome!! My dream boat! Thanks Nick! I have a Hawk 31 but this is the next step!!
Hawk 31 is a really cool boat!
beautiful boat! thanks for sharing this with us nick!
My pleasure!
I'm 6'3" so this isn't for me but I can see the appeal of this boat. Thanks Nick
What a wee beastie. I can imagine the fun factor hugging the coastline. Would also make short work of the English Channel, and as you stated, perfect for two. A few minor mechanical and electrical fixes and cosmetics to attend to but the best part is the price. There's a lot of craft for your money. We'll presented Nick.
i looked it up:
3 x 420hp Yanmars, top speed 60knots, cruising at 45.
Pretty nice.
Loved these in my childhood, it was this or a Predator 63.
What a cool boat!!! Right in the kind of price range that I could realistically afford one day, though I would never ever buy anything like that with that money. Seeing those 3 diesels made me envision money evaporating on maintenance and upkeep. Would sure love to be able to have one for a weekend or something though! Just not anything I would ever see myself wanting to own. Great video as always Nick! Thanks!
Could be worse. At least it doesn't have three stern drives to maintain! LOL.
Dashboard is in beautiful condition, hope it stays that way for years to come.
Beautiful woodwork. Even though it is narrow there still seems to be plenty of space.
Another great review. Thank you. Love your comment while looking at the head “what ever the hell that is”. Made me laugh.
And thank you Nick for this impresive show of this Sunseeker Superhawk 50 still a nice fly machine from 21years a go with 3 big Yanmar enigens I was thinking in with boat has also those big Yanmar engines the Supermarine Swordfish from a meet the onwners also nice cabine/salon thanks again Nick a great show to start the week
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice boat there! Thanks for sharing! 👍👍
Thanks for watching!
Wow would love to see that out on the water at top speed. Prop position might be an advantage too for those crab and lobster pot lines floating about everywhere , though at 50 knots she’d probably cut straight through . What a rocket .
It looks more like an e type Jaguar than an Aston Martin. Absolutely stunning boat.
Amazing video as usual ! - my dream cabin cruiser :D :D
Shukran brother
Great number plate on that Range Rover
Still watch every video
Awesome! 😃
,very cool boat for 20 yrs old ...peace out Mr nick from BILOXI MS
Very niiiiice! Digital displays are the choice for modern boats but those engine dials on the walnut is something else 😍 Would be nice to see these brought back in some modern boats. btw, 5'10" sounds like a perfectly reasonable height to me 😜
Wow just amazing and massive Nick Sir... And looking sweet and handsome as always... God bless you...
That is a proper boat to present wearing a GMT! ;)
Hi Nick,my Father in law had a 48 from new back in the noughties,and a 34 before that which he also had from new.Beautiful boat with jet ski performance,i remember he had a bow thruster retro fitted because if the wind caught the front things could get interesting.

Wow, so nice, so powerful!!!
What an amazing craft. Fantastic. Could those Yanmars be the Smuggler Blues 3?😂😂
That was a nice treat!
Hey Nick …What a machine … Absolutely love these … and with surface drives 👍❤️❤️…. Such a shame Sunseeker don’t seem to fit surface drives anymore ….. Only problem with this …is the 3 Engines…. Cost a fortune to service every year 😱😢….. But a real flying machine … just Awesome …. Great tour as usual 👍❤️🛥
That's amazing Nick. All that lovely wood. Must cost a fair penny in maintaining such a lovely boat. I guess the props would be expensive to repair or replace if they got damaged. This one I would like to see running.
Very expensive, but small potatoes compared to fuel for a few seasons long distance cruising.
Tucked up "behind" the hull as the props are, I wouldn't think grounding would be a likely source of prop damage, so it's only flotsam you'd have to worry about.
I'm confused about the the throttle adjustment. Slick boat Nick!!!
I can imagine the phone call...
"Marianne, how do you fancy lunch in Jersey?"
"It'll take ages in Smugglers!"
"We're not going in Smugglers!"
😂
Shame new the super hawk hasn’t maintained some of this heritage. Also noted you’ve used the term sexy plenty in the last two videos - love it !
Enjoyable as always and having watched the teaser for the new superhawk yesterday, the differences are vast!
A sleek and slender speed machine!
Also not seen surface drives with a rudder before, so interesting to compare against Arneson drives.

I think the wood finish at the cockpit is rosewood.
EDIT: The left side of the helm
I remember seeing these on catalogs back then!
Still sexy!
I would re-upholster it, paint the blue gelcoat gray, and matte the cherry interior!
Can you pre-order it for me Nick?
Where is Maggie? You have a different bag 😁😁😁.. It is a narrow boat but there's a lot in it. Love the interior in the cabin and the hidden table. 😊😊😊
Totally agree with you. So much better than the new 55. If one does not mind the dealing with the age, it is quite nice. Seems as though having three iron lumps in the stern would not do well in the handling department. Would like to find out! Enjoy your Sunseeker videos.
The boats that are in water gives way better vibes

Getting the image of Austin Powers behind the helm. What a randy machine.
YEAH, BABY!! 😃
Beautiful it is and what condition it is in. Even for its age it still looks relevant. Thanks very much Nick Cheers
My pleasure!
Not being a speed freak I think it just looks like a very expensive but very beautiful play thing. Loved the analogue instrument panel and the lounge area looked quite funky...a bit like a scary ride at a theme park! The curved wood is superb, no corners on anything, just beautiful curves. The boat itself is so not me but I can't help but admire it...as Ian said below. I also can't believe how immaculate the engine room is. A serious point now....these 20 year old boats, the body is often perfect, but I wonder what the normal wear and tear of moving parts is....by that I mean engine components...highly expensive engine components and gear boxes...components like those have a finite life and once they start to need replacement will pretty much right off the boat surely? What is the life span for a boat like this? The manufacturer must know how many hours you can realistically expect from the engine and gear box etc. Anyone?
Looks awesome. I love the style. Although you don't get a lot of room for the length and i couldn't tolerate the headroom.
Great to see a surface drive boat for the first time on this channel, I have been waiting for it! If I understand correctly its more common in the 'med?
