Excellent! The absence of cushions was especially helpful in seeing more of what truly matters. I think a lot could be done with this 'family express cruiser' to turn into a satisfying Bahamas & ICW cruising boat. An unconventional choice, perhaps...but given it's speed, some unusual cruising boat improvements, as well.
@@julesmurray-anderson1857 I have been in nothing huge, but I have been out in 4-5 foot out in Sydney harbour, was quit an uncomfortable ride but that is to be expected on a boat that size. Was definitely doable though. Deals with small chop and wake great at high speeds though, spray rails work great and is normally quite a dry ride when you are on plane, but occasionally you need to use the wipers. The hull is not a very deep V so sometimes I find myself slowing down a bit (9 knots) for large wake or waves when I have guests on-board. In general a great performing boat for the size. I would look at the Beneteu OB forum on reddit, quite a good community there. Hope you enjoy.
@@sadenuttie2234 Saden, I'd welcome hearing how you managed the boat in those Sydney Harbor concrete lumps. Did you need to work the boat or find the sweet (least obnoxious) set up and let her cope with them? Would you feel OK taking this boat up to Brisbane for a stretch? Thank you!
I purchased #Beneteau9OB form official #Beneteau dealer and it was delivered in March 2021. The worst buy ever. After just two months, on two places which are not exposed to any force, gelcoat simply cracked and needs to be repaired and the cockpit table, made of the worst plywood covered with so unbelievably thin layer of wood, started to peel off though it was never exposed to water or any moisture. Vessel was delivered without the contracted equipment (boiler and instruments) and even after 3 months the official #Beneteau dealer #GalijaYachting didn’t provide gear fitting and there is no #BeneteauCustomerService you can contact and ask for assistance and intervention as all links on the #BeneteauSite lead to the same unprofessional and ignorant dealer. You will have to pay approximately 100.000 EUR for this lousy quality and service plus engines. I have no doubt that for money there is so much better offers on the market.

Great boat, no issues (other than anchor chain counter and minor eletrical things, both easily fixed). 2 years ownership with a lot of use
Good to know - I've got one coming soon - been in a big sea yet ?

Great walk through. The Antares line of yachts are amazing.

Great walk around. Can’t seem to find this detailed info on this boat. Thank you for actually showing it on a trailer!
