My Dream Boat used to be a Fleming 65. This 58 just might replace it! It’s full displacement, it can do the loop, and I absolutely LOVE the John Deere engines. Simple, yet functional, and the miles they can get is unbelievable. This is now the Numero Uno!!!
0:09 I love that "Freedom" with the US flag in the background on the back of that boat. Beautiful mural design. Live the message too. God bless you all from the Republic of Ireland and the throne roon of heaven.
5:47 What an ideal looking design for an office space, where everything looks like it's roughly within grabbing range of the office chair, while at the same time, very spacious for office work.
1:14 This really reminds me of summer holidays here on the south coast of Ireland, exploring the little islands and crossing peninsulas on small boats. Good memories. It's great to see kids still doing it today with their parents. Seeing the seals and things that live around the coast. There is a family of sea lions that live at one of the sides of Harboline Island, Ireland's Naval Headquarters. They seem to just hang out there a lot. Well away from the main dock area where the naval patrol ships pass in and out.
My one gripe is the tiny engines. 11 knots wide open…. For inlets and encountering bad weather I would personally want a little more. The plus side is incredible efficiency.
@@Jay-tc9on The full displacement hull won't allow higher speeds. In order to go faster you'd need a semi-displacement hull, like the Flemming, but then you compromise on sea handling and stability.
You did a great job of avoiding showing us the regular bridge and the fly bridge. I guess you think we don't care to see how the boat is operated. Not a smart move.
That's true. Personally I love the thought of travelling at 6 knots across the Pacific....California to Hawaii....no problem...New Foundland to Ireland...easy...put your feet up, watch the sea. The Doldrums? Ha! Just a beautiful calm piece of ocean that I can enjoy a spot of fishing whilst pootling along in my own time....This boat is designed for distance not speed....if you want speed don't buy the boat. For speedy coastal cruising there are other options. But for many people, cruising along at 6,7 knots for 5000nm is just perfect.

I'm imagining being 5 to 10 years old, in my life jacket, back in the 90's here. Great childhood memories of maritime adventures with my family.

Thanks BoatTest! I've been waiting for this.
Capt. Steve, you do a very good job
With the walk through. Like to see more walk through for true passage makers.

Amazing Boat! Lots of thought went into this one!
6:07
Also, nice big, port windows. Especially great again, for office lighting.
Great fly bridge
This is one of my favorites. Great video of a great boat.
Thank you Captain Steve.👍

This looks great for bringing small children with their parents and grandparents on fishing and costal exploration trips.
Nice to see review of boat that can be operated by only one person.

Wow. Beautiful cabin
It'll get you there and bring you back!
Dude, you are one of the best. Great review as always.
LOVELY BOAT !!!!!
@ 05:28 why is there a door knob on the inside of the pantry?
Nice boat!
2:01
Beautiful carpentry work there. I love to see a job very well done like that.
I love a pilot house day head.
Is it equal to a Fleming?
Engine room...?
please visit boattest.com to see the performance and operational video
Most important engine room ! Would be nice to have seen it all the other stuff is superfluous.
6:24
Now I'm just curious as to what's behind that door.
It's a hanging locker....so probably some sexy outfits for him and her, whips, the usual stuff. Not that I know anything about that ahem....
@@DrCrabfingers lol...Ahem...Mr Swingler
What's your opinion Capt Steve, as good as Nordhavn or Fleming?
To me at least, these boats are all in the high end class in terms of fit and finish and it really comes down to personal choice.
My one gripe is the tiny engines. 11 knots wide open…. For inlets and encountering bad weather I would personally want a little more. The plus side is incredible efficiency.

Why didn't you look at the master suite? You're slipping up, Steve.

Lekker man lekker 🇿🇦

Check out the other part of BoatTests video report which covers equipment/engine room etc. - simples
@@johnhunt8264 How about covering the boat in a single video - simples.
I don’t get why anyone would use teak like that. Black locust is much more economical and far more durable.
Agreed!
Nice boat, if you like getting passed by sailboats!

Master foward, not a nice place to be at sea.
