Fun fact. Im norwegian and my friend was sales manager. And the xs26r do 81 4 knots with 4 adult onboard with twin 300. Hydrolift always says low numbers to wow their customers. Remember the s24 diablo was ranged to 70++ but go here on youtube and u see 15 years later.. they still push 82-85 knots with them.
Dan, looks like a great boat for a super yacht tender and utility. Could be used for diving, water sports, and fishing when you're away from the yacht. With a few tweaks, i.e. some type of boarding ladder on the bow that can be integrated or removable and stored. A t-top version would be great for this application or a cabin version would be great for just a tender from yacht to Port. I personally would go with the twin outboards. Btw, your volume was quite low and when commercials came on I had to turn it down. Your test drive video, the volume was correct.
G'day John, yes I agree with all the above points. I am hoping to test their 32ft version that comes with a triple 300hp set up and that would also be awesome (possibly better) as a tender. Also a lot of the tenders want no t-top so they can squeeze it on deck of the mothership but if you were towing it (or using in Australia) I'd absolutely prefer the t-top! Thanks' for the heads up re the volume, not sure how I stuffed that up. Still learning obviously :/
Sad but Norwegians do not like t-tops. We usually dont have a long boat seasons and people can't imagine being in the shade when we actually get sunny days. Me however I would very much like the option of a T top on all boats.
So a few things from my observation Josh. - Weight - Hull profile below waterline - Aerodynamics - Hull stiffness, it feel's very solid and direct - The above ingredients mixed with HP = Excellent power to weight ratio which = Speed
Hi Dan, great videos! Wondering if you have any videos on the Jeaneau NC 795. I’m considering this boat for my family and curious what your thoughts are on it as a weekender?
I have not tested the 795 for the channel yet but a lot more Jeanneau's will be coming in 2023. As a family weekender I have a number of friends who already own Jeanneau's and they are very happy. I've also driven many of them myself already. For inshore and limited offshore work I think they are fine. Resale is also not bad on them so as a stepping stone towards another boat they also make good sense for this reason. It's hard to be accurate not knowing your personal situation but in general they are great boats for families.
I love your videos, but I always use headphones and you use them should too when editing, sometimes the audio is one channel. It’s really uncomfortable 🥴
Don't really understand your (fake?) surprise over this boat coming out of Norway. Scandinavia has tons of great, successful brands (Axopar, Finnmaster, Yamarin, Flipper etc.) and Ibiza Boats out of Norway is also top class.
Do boats in Norway have a maximum Horsepower? In the US we have a maximum HP and if you exceed that maximum, you can get fined by the CG or BMR. And insurance companies won’t give you insurance. Just curious. Thanks.
Good question I’m not sure. I know in Australia it’s similar to the US. There are a LOT of very high performance boats coming out of Norway so I need to make a trip there soon to discover what’s going on? So far every boat I’ve seen from Norway is built extremely well and also has a clear focus on crazy fast.
@@MonicaHolly143 Are those boats built by companies or welded together by people? I can’t imagine a company building a boat and not putting a highest recommended HP rating on it. That’s a lawsuit waiting to happen for the manufacturer and if I were an insurance company, I wouldn’t insure something like that. Or I would charge a small fortune.
@@alanhinkel420all boats produced in Norway have ratings for both HP and what it's meant for. However alot of people will still modify and put bigger engines on the boats. And this is not ilegal yet
Boats in Norway are usually classified by DNV (Based in Norway and one of the major classification entities for ships). They provide a maximum load/people/engine/CE rating. This boat is rated for 600hp, which means there's a safety margin at that rating. Norway has historically been a large producer of leisure boats and larger ships. The raw materials (Gelcoat/epoxy) are also made in Norway. If you want to see fun uses of old Norwegian boats, do a search for "Fjordling 17"

Great looking boat, has a lot to offer in 26’.
So much right! And you can tow it in Australia which is not possible on most other boats in this category due to the beam.

These are impressive. What makes them so fast compared to the Axopars, Saxdors & Nimbus models? The hull, the motors, weight?
So a few things from my observation Josh.
- Weight
- Hull profile below waterline
- Aerodynamics
- Hull stiffness, it feel's very solid and direct
- The above ingredients mixed with HP = Excellent power to weight ratio which = Speed
You should test the Candela C8 (electric hydrofoil) from Sweden!
I would like to. Looks interesting.
Cool, please test the 32 S 😀
I believe I will have this opportunity so stay tuned.
I like the cabin
Agreed, I like how the boat is still very sleek and they managed to fit a cabin and toilet down there.
Price?
Follow the links to the dealer as I can't recall excatly but think it was around the 300k Aussie mark Josh
@@BoatLife_DansBoatLife wow thanks!

@@BoatLife_DansBoatLife thank you for the information and I look forward to hopefully seeing some in your future videos. #new-subscriber

I'm going to buy some headphones for editing. I've made this mistake before, sorry!!

This is the first boat from Norway I’ve brought to the channel and that wasn’t surprise lol 😂

We dont, actually there are people here that put 350r in 22 aluminum boats and go 160kph are fjords are most of the time very calm
