Now obviously I've done my homework. When I say homework I mean it's looks about the right size and looks comfy. Does anyone know any reasons not to buy it, or if there are better similarly priced options out there?
Many thanks,

Chilli nice looking little boat, as said above not much fun in open sea as bowriders tend to slam around a bit in the water if there is a bit of chop, also can be quite a "wet" boat meaning you and your crew will get soaked. (obviously not a problem really taking into account where we live! 
)
Good starter boat as they are easy to use and manage, what power option are you looking at? Inboard or outboard?
Me, on that boat i would go outboard, ok you lose the nice bathe platform, well the middle part but the outboard will be lighter, quieter, cheaper to maintain and leave you with a bit more room inside the boat. Make sure you go fourstroke as well.
Also if you are buying new see if you can check what the back up and warranty is like, does the dealer have a onsite service centre etc??
Any q's let me know! I belive we have touched on this subject before!

Chilli, aren't you supposed to be saving up to go to New Zealand, or has that now gone for a Burton what with all your servants, fast cars and swimming pools?
I'm not at all jealous, with my 35C, mosquitoes, no air con and complete lack of cold beer due to a busted fridge.
Anyway I digress, I used to date a bird whos dad had a Sunseeker. Bloody great thing with twin inboard Volvo Pentas, it had seperate bedrooms, a rear deck, a jetski hanging off the back and a full kitchen and bathroom.
My opinion is, if you're going to bankrupt yourself and pretend to be a sailor (make sure you get one of those white hats with an anchor badge on it, white trousers, shoes, a stripey blue and white t-shirt and a blue jacket with another anchor badge), you might as well do it properly.
