Cap’n Steve mentioned 1 of his 2 pet peeves (vertical handrails) but he failed to mention there is NO compass in line w/helm steering. Better not b too far off the beaten path when the electronics take a dump and u have to figure out how to navigate.
Lol. Use your phone... Also, everything is electronic including the steering so the compass won't do you any good. But If you really think you need a compass in a boat made for coastal waters then I'm sure they can include one in the 800k price...
Once again a boat vid mostly about storage & other commonly known features when all I want to know is what it’s like to own this boat for a day (trip out & back) and a sense of whats it like to own several minutes of it riding through the swell (no music) with engine sounds & how it handles (you know like they do with typical car reviews?). Storage could be taken as a ubiquitous feature with modern boats but if that’s what takes your keen interest surely that could still be fitted in as the side quest.
99.9% of the people who own boats WANT a longer hardtop! Give me 10-12 more hardtop feet please.only 12-30yo girls and women sit on sun pads and they don't buy boats!!!! Keep the ridiculous unused sunpade on the BOW! how many useless sunpads do you need? Bring the windshield up to the hard top. women DON'T want there hair messed up.The extendable sunshade is a waste of material just make the hardtop longer PLEASE!!!!!!
i agree there should at least be an extendable rear sunshade. but what you really nailed is the windshield!!! why do i see SO MANY hardtops with these gaps between the screen and the top?? it makes no sense at all Edit: i admittedly wrote this before seeing the extended rear sunshade. stand by the rest
I’m guessing that this boat is purely for recreation. For the guy to take his wife, girlfriend, and all their kids out on the blue for the day, and do recreational stuff. For me, I’d rather have A fishing deck with a nice big comfy fighting chair in the middle.
Dude, the guys who do buy these boats are hoping they have a bunch of those women laying on those sun pads. A couple of them are even able to pull it off.
@@davidblalock9945 Anything is better than a useless sunpad on the stern. If your in to staring at your girlfriend in her bikini. Then its better to have her on the bow so your eyes are at least in the direction your traveling.
Great video, especially the “action shots” of the anchor and the passerelle. Thanks Capt. Steve!
I’d like to see the two remotes for the anchor integrated into one. That way there’s no chance of getting them confused.
Something wrong with the calculations. 60 liters per hour at 28 knots should be something like 0.45 LPNM. Which sounds too good to be true.
I wish a boat maker would allow this captain to build the “perfect” day-boat and fishing boat.
As always such a great in-depth review review

@@sdoubleu210 I guess they think we enjoy getting cold and wet on the way to the Yacht club for dinner its Ridiculous!

Wasn't that windy though💥
the exposed engine mounting bolts look awful and are a hazard to people on the boat
Awful fuel economy, those v12's are too thirsty
This boat is a big miss and won’t last long in the demanding marketplace.
