What a cool and usabale boat! Some whishes to bring it to perfection: Ad a fridge / cooler, create a bed size u-shape area to sleep on deck (connect the two main seats to it), ad a sunscreen and pole to the front, ad a hammock from the T-Top to a front pole oder waterski bracket in the back, ad a rain shield to the T-Top. Ad a handle bar on top of the navigation screens like on the Axopar 22. Ad storage in the cabin. Last but not least calculate a fair price, as it is easy to trailer an there is demand from upper middle class boatpeople
What a great insightful video on a very promising boat! As a serious tournament angler and adventurer I am looking for a fishing boat with a sleep cabin that is fit for a journey all around the Baltic. The 25 optimally uses space to generate a real front cabin, a front casting deck and space for fishing in the aft. The high performing hull is crucial for both activities. Fishing rods up to 2,50 m could be stored in the cabin. The multiple storage bin can be used for tackle. A few adaptations that are a lot easier during construction than afterwards will make this great boat fit for fishing: 1. Enable fitting a trolling motor on the bow 2. Include square cable gutters from fore to aft on each side of the boat. Wide enough to hold the big plugs that fish finder cables come with 3. Make fishing seats removable and slidable. Placing one of the seats on the multiple storage bin, swivelling and sliding all the way from port to starboard, while making the driver seat also slidable sideways, makes for great fishing positions. For trolling, jigging and pelagic fishing. 4. Create rod storage over the entire length of the cabin on the starboard side. 5. Move the T-top 1 meter forward. With the back rail lined up with the back of the dash so that it doesn't impede fishing from the driver seat. Also the roof now leaves room for casting and can be fitted with rod holders. Nice to have's: - a removable table to be fitted between the multiple storage bin and the front seats - tackle storage on deck. under the front seats and in a special tackle station to be fitted on top (can be made after market) - rail for fitting large fish finder screens on the dash I have a deep experience in retrofitting fishing boats and would be happily available for consulting on the Axopar 25 Fishing. Kiwi's, Aussies, and Americans would love a trailerable weekender they can do some serious fishing on! Mark Tigchelaar
Lovely boat. Brilliant that it can take the V8, and bow thruster is such a treat! I hope the bed has some storage underneath… I would like to see: rear anchor, possibility to install auxiliary engine (necessary if one wants to go beyond 10nm in Greece) preferably with separate small tank, fender holders, possibility to install solar panel instead of forward cushion, some kind of storage possibility under the captain’s seat, some more storage in the cabin right and left of the bed, table doubling up as u-sofa filler… things that will allow it to become a real overnighter… way to go!!!
Please tell you camera man to start filming the boat instead of you all the time. Really annoying. What I saw from the boat it looks great and I think Axopar is probably selling a lot of these.
Hi Nicolas, thank you for your remark. I noticed it too, I will tell him. We always try to improve. so please let us know if there are other remarks. And yes, I'm sure it will be a great succes, what a great boat!
I think it is great that Axopar has made a boat as you desctribe it at 15:54 suitable for gay people. I also like the hold handles when you are sitting in the front lounge while the boat is under way. Very important as the person driving the boat won't be able to see where they are going and will stop you flying forward when they hit something. I'm with everone else dunny in with the bedroom, nup. The original Axopar, dunny entrance from the bow with wash basin, wall between dunny and bedrooms move the beds back to make room same amount of area.
Nice video Bart and a very nice weekender boat. I always enjoy your videos! Do you know if the 37 will be updated as well to the same design as the 22 and 25?
Hello Spyros, thank you for your compliment and reaction, great that you are enjoying our videos! I don't think that the 37 will be modified in the near future. There are some minor changes for 2022, and the current model has only quite recently (january 2020) been introduced. I believe it is close to perfection and have not heard that there are any major changes to be made.
I'm sure that will be possible Vladde. But I still don't know everything, this is a pre-production boat which will be introduced officially in january 2022 in Düsseldorf. I have not heard that a HT model is coming.
Hi Ricardo, it's been a while since I last drove one, I will check next time. It happens with many setups that there is a certain rpm range where you experience minor vibrations. If that range is important to you, I'd recommend trying a different propeller. But check with your dealer, they should know if it is not normal and what can be done about it.
I'm not sure about the storage under the bed Patrick, even though I do think Axopar is looking into this. And a fridge? I doubt it, there is no room for that I'm afraid. But we as a dealer could certainly find a solution for active cooling of refreshments.
Hi there, no, I'm afraid that that is not possible. If what you're looking for is protection against the sun, which can also be taken away, I would recommend looking at an Axopar 25 Cross Bow. If you ad a bimini (available from Axopar), that can be used in strong sunlight, and taken away of not necessary. We always have the Axopar 25 Cross Bow in stock/in our showroom, so you could come and have a look at it.
I would want a separate bog - I don’t want to dump in the same room I sleep - many many scando boats have the bog in the sleeping cabin - why? That’s horrible - and I don’t agree there’s not enough room as there are enclosed bogs in smaller craft…..apart from that a lovely boat and great video - really informative!
@@Kemperswatersport - hi there….here are a few models of recent years of approximately that length that have a separate head… * Aquador 23HT and the newer version * Sealine S24 and the newer S23 - different models * Salpa Laver 23X * Nidelv 690 Sport and 725 Sport * SKIBSPLAST 700D * Rapsody Tango 24
@@marineboy6033 thank you for your reply. These are all great boats I'm sure. The big difference however is that the beam of all these boats is much wider. The big advantage is that this offers more room, and layout options, like a separate head. There are disadvantages too however: added weight, lower speed, and cost. The last thing was something that the people at Axopar, as usual, really kept in mind. By keeping the beam within certain dimensions, it is still possible to transport it in a container, making transport a lot cheaper, enabling Axopar to offer the boat at a truly competitive price. Furthermore, the weight was kept low, giving it great performace, good fuel economy, and making it relatively easy to trailer it. I fully agree that it is nice to have a separate head, but a boat is always a compromise. In our experience, people using a boat in this segment, use the toilet for "emergencies". mainly. At least in The Netherlands, marinas offer really good facilities, and people go to restaurants, and thus use the toilet only very little. The alternative for you might be the Axopar 28, or one of the boats you mention. There are some well known, good quality boats between the one you list, and hey, wouldn't it be boring if we only get to see Axopar boats on the water ;) ?
@@Kemperswatersport - thank you very much for the informed and detailed reply - I'm aware of the beam and weight issue. With careful design you could still fit a surround to the head - I think of my Trintella IIa that had a clever door setup at a very narrow part of the beam of the yacht. When you didn't need to use the head the compartment was hidden away - but you had a compartment when required. And using foam filled materials the weight would be minimal. It is more than possible! But I agree that compromises have to be made in boat design...and yes maybe I have to buy an Axopar 28, Ryck 28 or Saxdor 32....by the way I think your channel is superb!
@@marineboy6033 thank you for your positive remarks and suggestions. I will pass them on to the people at Axopar, we can always learn and perfect can always be better.

In practice it actually works out quite well: most of the times you use fenders anyway. But it is possible to have it with a rub rail, so don't worry. And yes, most things are optional, but for a reason.

Great video as always. Have they made the bow wider to get width on the bed?
Thank you Gavin, and yes, even though I don't know the exact dimensions yet, I am sure the bow is wider than on the 22.
Will it be possible to use a boat canopy? even while sailing the boat?
HT modell would be fantastic for the users in the northern parts of Europe.

No rubrail is no good for a real user. Looks like everything is optional.
In practice it actually works out quite well: most of the times you use fenders anyway. But it is possible to have it with a rub rail, so don't worry. And yes, most things are optional, but for a reason.
It's not a Spyder it's a t top
You're right, in fact, it's a cross top as they call it. We will have a Cross Bow soon also, I hope to be able to make a review on that soon too.
