There have been quite a few questions about this boat in the comments, so we're thinking about doing a follow up Q&A about the boat because it has clearly piqued a lot of people's interest. So if you have any questions you'd like me to put to Paul and the team if we do it, please reply to this comment with them and I'll make a list.
Costs associated with boat and refit. A one on one interview regarding his boating history as you’ve done in the past. Would also enjoy a more in-depth video of the boat. Like the videos you do on a normal basis. Sans his personal effects of course.
I was curious about the wrap & it's long term durability through corrosion etc. I expect it to be quite a thick wrap. I was very impressed with the styling inside almost Italian looking by style wondering if it was.
This rebuild is just amazing. That guy is both shy and modest, but you can clearly tell he is allmost cracking with pride of the result :) Fantastic and very well produced video :D Awesome and thanks :)
She's definitely not from the past! Those interiors are extremely futuristic! ❤️❤️ That amazing sound from the Volvos too! "Visceral" doesn't even cut it close! 😍😍😍😍
Mate, this man and his team set new requirements for this industry. This is modern, clean, sexy, sleek, total "James Bond" style of vessel that thousands would go to. Most of the vessels now seem plain and boring compared to this vessel. WELL DONE!
Wow. What a beautiful boat. The colour scheme is amazing. Never ceases to me how talented and clever some people are. What a transformation. Great video Nick.
The level of detail in this rebuild, shows throughout the boat & the colours that they ended up choosing makes this boat look like a 2018-2019 model. Job well done!!!!!
Wow absolutely stunning. Extremely impressive renovation and I love the Riva-esque style. I take my cap off to anyone who can pour this amount of love, care and attention into a project like this. Awesome!
Thats a brand new boat with 30yr old curves..... nice! I wish Yacht Solutions every success and thank them for sharing with Nick and supporting the channel.
What a fantastic tour! A fantastic refurbished boat too! Awesome craftsmanship and a great thrill to take her through her paces! She looks better than new and no way would I have thought she was 30! Love these videos so much!
I ABSOLUTELY love your ‘meet the owners’ series as it takes the tours onto the next level by making them dynamic, and we get to get down to the real nitty-gritty of running these boats. The more the merrier please, especially at the entry level, for those of us who have dreamed of owning a boat but haven’t been lucky enough (yet).
1) intro was ridiculous, James bond, mission impossible style, whoa 2. Homeboy kinda reminds me of Chris Evans 3. The boat is amazing, probably the only one where i could stand to shower in that type of head. 4. Wow. Super high production value. Out did yourself nick
Next level video, Nick, and interesting shift in focus on what it means to be an Aquaholic! A greener solution to that new boat maniac that pops up in us every ‘few’ years!
Paul - you've done yourself proud - and put Sunseeker on call. Beauty boat - even more so, given it's a re-model and not a ground up build (degree of difficulty upped by a lot, on re-models). Nick - thank you for bring us this magnificent vessel. All parties involved - WELL DONE ! !
Alright, you had me fooled for the first few moments of your video. At first I thought I was seeing a preview to either the new James Bond movie or the next Mandalorian episode. After a few moments I realized oh this is your video and wow that is a beautiful boat. This man did a fantastic job of restoring this boat and he made it look better than new. Thank you Sir for showing us yet another fantastic boat!
I've been holding off watching this one as the Martinique 36 brings up some mixed memories. We had one when I was a teenager - at the time the boat was around 18 years old, and was suspiciously cheap (it was that or a second hand camper van for the same price). As it turned out that was because it was a complete wreck - leaky, perpetually mouldy, and the engines were knackered despite having supposedly been zero-hour rebuilds. It spent almost all its time out of the water. I can tell you that it takes three days for a single fifteen year old to GRP polish it from top to bottom. On the rare occasion we managed to take it out, it broke down without fail, usually in the middle of the Solent. That said, it was the most incredible feeling being out on it, you felt like James Bond (I got a shiver hearing those engines spool up in the video!). It handled brilliantly, and was a wonderful place to spend a weekend. The old saying goes that your two happiest days are the day you buy your boat, and the day you sell it. That was definitely true for my parents. My Dad passed not long after we sold the boat, and I do fondly remember the adventure, the frequent swearing, and the waiting with a warm can of lager for Sea Start (the nautical RAC) to turn up and drag us home when the electrics had totally failed five miles from shore. Again. What Paul has done with this one is miraculous. It's a gorgeous machine and they've been very sympathetic to it's 80s design roots with a modern twist. I think it's fantastic.
Hi Nick. What a fantastic transformation into a stunning boat, the interior and cockpit look awesome. Very nice job done Paul. Great walkthrough video thanks.
What a fabulous job they've made of her. She looks and performs like a brand new boat. Clearly she's got years of fun left in her yet and enough accommodation options for very comfortable cruising.
Excellent boat. Very contemporary look with the dark colors. The piece with the music at the end, love it! Sometimes it's what we not say that tells the story. Thank you.
Restomod classic Sunseeker! WOW! The cockpit looks absolutely gorgeous in that colour! Really, really beautiful machine! Wow again! I think I know what I want from now on.. Classic-modernized is the way! Thanks, Nick! And thanks, Paul, for creating such a masterpiece! Cheers!
There are some very talented people out there! Congratulations to all those who contributed to restoring life back into that boat. In additional to looking absolutely beautiful, all the technical work behind that is a testament to the skills and knowledge of everyone involved. Thank you for sharing.
What an amazing transformation. From drab to fab and a whole lot of work in between. Please extend my gratitude for such an amazing job well done. Who could not like this? From stem to stern and everything in between, just excellent.
WOW Nick, what an intro, took a double check to make sure I had not changed channel. This is my style of boat, absolutely fantastic renovation, a very lucky man. Thanks, Nick, another very interesting video, well done.
As an "armchair" boater, that is one stunning boat. The colour combination of greys and tan, lift it to a new level for me. Then that growl when you open the taps. Fantastic.
Again a pearl. WOW. Again a display of determination and solid work. It shows itncan be very attractive to buy an old boat and renovate it as long as you want to take your time and do things well. The metamorfose is great. The boat looks brand new.
WOW!!!!!!!.....just the color COMPLETELY changed the character and looks of the boat. And the modernization of the electronics and decor.....FANTASTIC!!!!! The cost of such a project would really be informative!!!!! Cost of buying used doing a truly complete refit v buying new would really be informative.....More of this, please!!!!!
That was a superb renovation with one exception, the fabric trim in the forward cabin. And the intro had some superb dronage. Some of the best you’ve ever done.
Aw, he took the name I was planning to use for my first boat! Absolutely awesome re-fit - it looks fantastic and is showcased beautifully by that intro.
What an amazing transformation; I genuinely thought that it was a new boat, not one from years ago. Amazing project and thank you for showing it to us Nick!
he rebuilt a 30 year old yacht very well, it looks amazing newer and more modern its doesnt look like a 30 year old yacht, he managed to make it look attractive elegant and luxurious but very compact minimalist . Well done sir very nice job 🔥
Stunning boat. Colour scheme, design and mods are so good, looks brand new with classic lines, what a combo!! Thanks yet again Nick for starting my dream machine yet again!!
That was fascinating. And what an amazing styling job. After 30 years shows the quality of Sunseeker and how they can be re-imagined. I am sure the guys in Poole would also be delighted to see this care and attention
What a video! So professional ! David seal should be worried ahah 😉 The boat looks amazing, they did a fantastic job ! Thanks for sharing this beauty with us nick !
Lovely boat restoration by a passionate owner! He's done an awesome job to bring it up to date. I also loved the camera work and the editing. Also very professional 👏

A one on one interview regarding his boating history as you’ve done in the past.
Would also enjoy a more in-depth video of the boat. Like the videos you do on a normal basis.
Sans his personal effects of course.
Good idea
How long would you expect the vinyl wrap to last on the hull?
I was curious about the wrap & it's long term durability through corrosion etc. I expect it to be quite a thick wrap. I was very impressed with the styling inside almost Italian looking by style wondering if it was.
Please do - great video
30 years old! From the thumbnail I thought this was a current sunseeker I wasn't aware of.
That opening shot was brilliant! 👍🏻🙌🏼
This rebuild is just amazing. That guy is both shy and modest, but you can clearly tell he is allmost cracking with pride of the result :) Fantastic and very well produced video :D Awesome and thanks :)
Love the intro.
What an absolutely amazing job they done with the interior & I love the colours really gives it a stand out quality....
Thanks so much!
I agree. The tan upholstery outside so complements the modern exterior and the interior is cosy, welcoming yet sleek.
I played this video to see if my speakers were working, and all I got was a horrible droning noise :-)
@@hogthrob What you did there, I see it.
Fantastic. Clearly some serious craftsmanship gone into that.
for a 30 year old boat a massive thumbs up on the renovation .... looks amazing boat ... you can feel the love they have put into the boat
She's definitely not from the past! Those interiors are extremely futuristic! ❤️❤️ That amazing sound from the Volvos too! "Visceral" doesn't even cut it close! 😍😍😍😍

Epic opening sequence! Beautiful boat. Would not think it was 30 years old.. great job.
Thank you very much!
The level of detail in this rebuild, shows throughout the boat & the colours that they ended up choosing makes this boat look like a 2018-2019 model. Job well done!!!!!
Amazing rebuild of a 30 year boat. Making it look so modern, with a great interior and features. Like the way he split the beds in the back cabin.
Wow absolutely stunning. Extremely impressive renovation and I love the Riva-esque style. I take my cap off to anyone who can pour this amount of love, care and attention into a project like this. Awesome!
That is simply stunning. Very beautiful boat and incredible transformation. It is so stylish now.
Thats a brand new boat with 30yr old curves..... nice!
I wish Yacht Solutions every success and thank them for sharing with Nick and supporting the channel.
Absolute stunning colours of the hull and upholstery. Looks amazing. Really stellar refit.
Great to see new life breathed into this classic. It will be around for another 30 years. Real craftsmanship.
What a stunning transformation of a 30 year old boat. Superb looking. Well done to all who had a part in the transformation. Loved the video Nick.
Many thanks!
What a fantastic tour! A fantastic refurbished boat too! Awesome craftsmanship and a great thrill to take her through her paces! She looks better than new and no way would I have thought she was 30! Love these videos so much!
Glad you enjoyed it
WOW! Great looking boat. Love the grey/tan combo
I just knew Paul would make a great job of this boat....he had an easy confidence when he first purchased it....this Guy is an absolute star!
Best renovation I’ve ever seen
Absolutely wonderful! I love the before and after of seeing something old and broken being made new and reliable once again.
I ABSOLUTELY love your ‘meet the owners’ series as it takes the tours onto the next level by making them dynamic, and we get to get down to the real nitty-gritty of running these boats. The more the merrier please, especially at the entry level, for those of us who have dreamed of owning a boat but haven’t been lucky enough (yet).
More coming!
Fine boat with a very personal styling.
1) intro was ridiculous, James bond, mission impossible style, whoa
2. Homeboy kinda reminds me of Chris Evans
3. The boat is amazing, probably the only one where i could stand to shower in that type of head.
4. Wow. Super high production value. Out did yourself nick
5. The boat's name is "Ship faced" 😁
I liked the intro....Good fun
Ok .... how can 58 people dislike this video? That 30 year old boat looks stunning.
30yrs old you would never know!! He's done an excellent job, very nice.🚤👍
I know that stretch of water so well, sailing it as a child. Love seeing Fort Picklecombe and the villages of Kingsand and Cawsand. Lovely memories.
WOWSERS!!!! Awesome refit, very stylish!!! Very much a Riva look. Great video Nick and thank you for the ride!!!
My pleasure!!
Absolutely fantastic! if they can modernise old cars then why not boats. Brilliant idea and looks just right. Love the black sink and shower head.
Thanks Nick and thanks to Paul, very enjoyable to watch
Awesome, thanks!
The best interior in a rebuilt sunseeker ever! Amazing job!
Very impressive intro shots to match a gobsmackingly gorgeous refitted vintage sunseeker. A total credit to Paul LOVE IT ! Thanks Nick
Glad you enjoyed it
Next level video, Nick, and interesting shift in focus on what it means to be an Aquaholic! A greener solution to that new boat maniac that pops up in us every ‘few’ years!
Thanks Nick! I really love these rebuild videos. I wish more people would consider refitting older classic boats.
Paul - you've done yourself proud - and put Sunseeker on call. Beauty boat - even more so, given it's a re-model and not a ground up build (degree of difficulty upped by a lot, on re-models). Nick - thank you for bring us this magnificent vessel. All parties involved - WELL DONE ! !

What a stunning update, beautifully done 👏👏👏.
What an amazing refit, she looks brand new! Lovely.
Wow what a great job Paul and team did the boat looks lovely. A perfect advertisement for the work they do.

I recall seeing that the first time, still an amazingly good looking boat, top quality, thanks for the revisit Nick 👍🏻
A very sweet Boat. The kitchen/dinning area is so spacious and the quality throughout is remarkable.

I think this my favourite Aquaholic boat and video. Thanks Nick 👍

WOW Nick, what an intro, took a double check to make sure I had not changed channel. This is my style of boat, absolutely fantastic renovation, a very lucky man. Thanks, Nick, another very interesting video, well done.
Much appreciated!
What a cracking job! The colour choice is fantastic. Superb craftsmanship and I will always have a soft spot for older generation sunseekers.

Stunning boat. That intro had me double checking to see if I was on the Aquaholic channel. Lol. Very professional.
As an "armchair" boater, that is one stunning boat. The colour combination of greys and tan, lift it to a new level for me. Then that growl when you open the taps. Fantastic.
You would never think it was a 30 year old boat. Fantastic retro fit. Looks stunning !
What a terrific looking boat with this refit - puts some contemporary designs to shame. Glad there are people like Paul Eccles.
What an incredible level of craftsmanship! This is a marvelous boat
It’s just an amazing job you have done restoring this! Congratulations.
