    Love sunseeker boats! Great for getting to a destination quick! I used to take my 76 sunseeker from key west to Bahamas! I'm waiting on a new boat now. The market is crazy for boats right now..

      @@diamondd1234 Actually if you want to speak facts any vessel over 30 ft is considered a yacht. But I understand why you don't see it that why because you like I obviously have owned several (Boats) big and small and when you own a 36 or 43 ft boat its hard to compare it to my 74 ft viking. So I consider it a yacht the 36 not so much and a 43 I called a mini yacht. But over 60 ft your definitely at yacht status
