Seafarer victory 5.9 - 6.0 differences??

[Wayne_Red]

Hi all, merry xmas to everyone.
My brother is looking at buying a second hand victory, one around the 1996-2002 models. I know they stopped making the 5.9s someware around 97-98? before changing to the 6.0.

Has anyone had experience with the 2 models. Is the 6.0 greatly different to the 5.9? Were the changes to the 6.0 a big improvement to an already well built and designed boat? Are the changes in the cabin, deck space, hull?

Is the price jump from a 5.9 to 6.0 worth it other than a newer boat and motor.
Prices seem to range from 30k to 39k for a 5.9 94-97 models then @44k up for the 6.0.

We have been in a 5.9 some years ago and he looked at one for sale the other day. We have not had a good look at a 6.0 yet. They both seem to hold their money very well.

Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
Regards Wayne

I have a friend with a 5.9 Victory on the GC Pretty good boat I think it spends most of its time sitting in his driveway.
