I've been on one as well and they are the equivalent of a fine piece of high end floating furniture. The performance is outstanding and the fit and finish is among the best in the boating community. (Yes, many mega yachts have over-the-top fit and finish as well) but for the man who does not care what it cost, this is quite the ride. Perfect tender for your super yacht. No rod holders though
I have seen and a family member bid on Bernie Madoff's SI 38...it had 20 hours on it and it was a few years old in perfect condition. The problem with the bidding on this boat is that it it went well beyond its true value (based on what others in similar and condition were available for) ...there was an actual premium for being BM's boat...which he could give a damn about. So he had to walk. (he had 13 boats (up for auction)The sad part is his the next door neighbor bought it and has it moored in front of his house so he has to look at it every day now! It is back on SI now.
The other one in his fleet that I really like was a fully restored sport-fish 1960's rybovitch and this thing was sweet...I thought this was the best looking boat I have seen in a long while. I don't know who did the resto but man...it took them a looong time and a lot a'bucks. It was up to date modernized and done so with such care you would have believed it came from the original builder . If you have the coin it is amazing what you can do with boats.
