Brilliantly thorough review Alex, thank you!
Great little boat

Lekker man lekker 🇿🇦

Very thorough & helpful, Alex. One of our major shows is coming to Ft. Lauderdale in Florida a week from now, and I'm hoping to see a Quarken or two included. The cabin version is of special interest to me.

[@clifbradley]

You see the Sargo's there, the XD9, the Nordstar 31, Bering has a model out and now this, which was a wonderful boat last year. I am just starting the video so lets see what we got.

Ypu are now shooting a very heavy load through a narrow wake slot and I think that helps the boat with stability by pushing her down on the water. AC would be nice, especially if they are hoping to sell the boat in southern states.

Nice practical boat.

[@maryholder3795]

She a neat boat, she can be very versatile, going out for a day trip or to an overnight stay. She very practical in her outlay, water,petrol and heating fuel and she easy to move around her deck.The cabin is functional, with a privacy screen you can pull across for the day head. Interesting.

How does the Nordkapp 905 compare?

[@clifbradley]

Un l ess they are able to remove the glass panels in the roof and maybe replace itmwith an AC system, as well as solar panels, I don't see this making it popular in the states. It would be too hot, and most Floridians, we don't want a skylight unless we can shade it off. The sun is too intense, even with it tinted.

You TOTALLY should have gone with the verbiage: It was only a matter of time before this fledgling firm from Finland..."
