Hello,
I just bought a Sundancer 450 built in 1997. We live on the Azorean Islands in the middle of the Atlantic.
We are native Germans. The problem here is that there is not a big boat market. The next "big harbor" is 700 miles away: Lisbon. Here on the nine islands we only have two sundancer 450 and one 400 all built in the 90ies. There is a lot of work to do in the winter, but we have an experienced guy here who will do a complete refit. New teaking interior, bowthruster, new paintings and so on, and so on.
The funny thing. First we were looking for a boat with max 30 feet. Then we were short before buying a 38 feet Bavaria, and then we saw the 450 sundancer, which is with bathplatform more than 50 feet...now:grin:
