Alex’s reviews keep getting better and better. Well done! I appreciated how he showed how far the skipper’s seat could move using his had as a reference. Little things like that help give perspective. Great review!

[@jacktyler7599]

Nicely done. Thorough tour and also within the context of what a day boat is expected to do by buyers who purchase this type. I genuinely appreciate the reviews here who marry a walkaround with a sea trial of some depth. That mix is broadly informative. 👍

[@FLGurl]

Alex, thank you. What a fantastic tour of this vessel. Well done! Glad that I have subscribed to this channel. I look forward to more of these videos. Cheers! 🍸

Great review Alex!
Plenty of great information about the boat, and what a boat. Perfect day boat or occasional overnighter.
Thank you.

[@alexsmith3945]

Thanks for the input guys. I always read it all, the good and the bad. Great boat though. Really impressed with it. And tomorrow, I'll be off to Southampton for another exciting sea trial - this time on the new Arksen 30 adventure boat. Can't wait for that...

[@lawrencefoster2120]

Very nice. I really like the cushions handling on the side of the sitting making it a bed.

[@tristantimothydelosangeles8588]

Waited for this for awhile now! Thank you 🙌🏽

[@jimbob1427]

It should be policy on any boat video is if u do a review on a boat and it has verados fitted they must be started so we can hear those sweet engines run ...

[@ironichumorist]

i love how he references stowing the kids in the adjustable berth in the cabin rather than serving up a bit of nose candy to some mediocre models off the coast of benedore.

[@coalitionperformance5901]

Great review from start to finish

[@SilentYachting]

Love the electric outboard too, very cool... ❤❤⚡⚡

[@303Lyons303]

Beautiful boat

[@papa.mike01]

Very nice review sir. This would have been a smart day boat for my family and me 20 years ago. We had a 42 Chris Craft Amerosport for day boating but this would a suited us much nicer.

[@gerhardvanwaltsleben8944]

Lekker man lekker 🇿🇦

[@simondavid5701]

Great boat and how useful to be able to slot the tender away in it's own little spot. No more towing behind or having to deflate it every time! Very clever design below decks as well. One for the list but for me the Saxdor 320 GTO is still top!

[@lawrencefoster2120]

You should put the length of the boat you are showing in the tile please.

[@NeoAndersonReloaded]

Nice

[@orechris4865]

❤

[@renanaguiar7454]

qualcuno può dirmi la lunghezza dalla chiglia all'hardtop

[@erichaskell]

800 horsepower, sure thats enough? At full speed, accelerator mashed to the stops, 50 gallons an hour? 60?

[@clifbradley]

The boat was nice, but those 2 blondes. Wowza! Especially the one that grabbed water. She grabbed me heart....and took it wif 'er she did...aiiiieeeeeeee! Just kidding. The Pescador that Nick showed yesterday was spot on the best. NomTV's in the bedroom, but I'm sure they could be added. Near perfect and at a price that wasn't a bank breaker.

[@johnpeel6601]

I doubt there will be much competition because other manufacturers of similar vessels are far superior.

[@PhilbyFavourites]

Is it me or does it look like a large white brick flying across the surface of the water?
And not a particularly attractive looking brick at that….

[@kevhodson544]

Not practical for uk, outboards pointless and expensive, much better alternatives on the market, more of a posers boat than a good cruising boat

[@paullewin8615]

So how much £?
