    "Brace yourself Sheila" and Nick is instantly turned into a 5 year old on Christmas morning, that alone shows what a fantastic job Richard and crew did with this super speed boat which has been an absolute pleasure to watch from start to finish

    I've been watching your videos for a while now and enjoy them immensely but I've never felt the need to comment until now. I have to say in my opinion this is probably the best film yet. Superb aerial shots, great soundtrack and superb content, well done.
    As for Richard, congratulations on completing his build, the finished article is stunning. His level of workmanship, professionalism and attention to detail is a huge credit to him, he must be feeling so proud. If I were him I'd have a large screen TV somewhere in my house playing this on a continuous loop at full blast.
    Congratulations to all involved.

    What a boat. Beautiful, it has a hint of the Bat boat about the windscreen and the arch support rising from the deck head. A credit to Richard and all the work he has put in. Sunseeker have always made beautiful boats but RED takes it a few notches up. I've watched it four times and it doesn't get boring .But i admit I tend to drool a bit like a kid in a sweet shop. Could be my age. I look forward to the full tour.

  • @johningham4942

    All the thousands of hours you and your team have put into "Red", has been worthwhile to see this absolute flying machine!

  • @ramonrodriguez6692
    @ramonrodriguez6692 Před 2 lety +9

    STUNNING!!!!! Is the only way to describe RED. Its AMAZING what the color scheme did to this boat! Made an old used boat look like a modern sport cruiser, and one of the BEST looking boats to have been on this channel. The Supermarines have NOTHING. On RED !!!!!!
    I’ve always wondered why most pleasure boats are white, RED confirms my thoughts that, if your gonna spend the crazy money, might as well get something that looks good!!!!!!

    I concur. As a, resident in the desert of El Mirage AZ USA just a stunning fun time to join in the ride. Congratulations to Richard on his hard work and to you Nick for the stunning video. Fortunately, Lake Pleasant a 16 square mile reservoir, is nothing compared to the stunning views you share on this fun fun sea trial. I must also agree with a previous post that this is very James Bondish. Thank you for sharing, it was so refreshing. I am looking forward to the full tour as I have been watching with interest Richards entire journey in the restoration of this Sun Seeker.
