Cheers Dan. As a sailor slightly short of arse, these things matter. This is much better than the previous models, especially the smaller ones, they slammed like a fat wrestler in a paddling pool.
Oh great! Feel free to jump in with anything else you think I can help show or teach you guys. These comments is where I get the ideas from to improve.
I wonder, Dan : For this 32 footer and plans to use it locally and for some coastal passages - IOW longer ranges not necessary - would you opt for the I/O diesels at their higher cost or twin outboards? Avoiding the longer term nuisance of the diesels' lower legs in the water full-time would seem one consideration...and maybe resale, given the popularity of outboards these days. If only outboards could provide hot water for the shower at day's end1
I think it all depends on how interested you are in the aft swim platform. It is a pretty massive platform so this will sway a few people towards the inboard diesels I suspect.
Hi Dan, as someone living in a country that just has ocean and not a lot of big bays: all boats are ocean boats for us. However my question is: what’s your fave area to boat in?
Hmm good question. Depends on the time of year I guess. Greek Islands are amazing in June/July, Whitsundays and Bali in July/August, South of France for sure in September, October - April in Australia and the list goes on. I'll just have heaps of adventures over the coming years and post it all up here as I go.
Your droneshots are just remarkable
Thanks! I've spent many years practising this so happy to hear that!
Great review. The drone footage combined with your commentary is really clever. I feel like I’m out on the water with you. Well done.
Oh great! That's what I'm trying to achieve for you so happy to hear that!
Great review, thanks. Looks like this beauty glides smoothly thru moderate waves.
It does!

I'm a newbie here, what does it means when you say fuel flow 32 litres a side? 32 litres/hour?
Yes 32L per engine - when i say a side i'm referring to the fact i have twin motors
I find these sea trials quite educational for me.

Could you get a little seakeeper on that thing?
I don't know but I suspect a Quick Gyro would fit at the forward end of the engine bay.
