Nice catamaran, a bit plain perhaps. Newer catamarans tend to have much more comfortable cockpits with built-in seating. I would definitely prefer a Leopard 40 over the Scimitar -- the Leopard has a well-thought out standard lower helm, and a very useful door from the forward end of the salon to the foredeck. One head for six passengers will not work for a lot of people. Thanks for the tour.

Looking at Lake Boats for Arkansas, Missouri, Tennessee areas and retirement. I like simple and plain - seems kinda brilliant to me. This would be an ideal weekender for exploring a lake with uninhabited islands👍😎
No teak = good. Just blast everything with a gerni. That mold under the benches looked a bit iffy. Being able to beach it and not sweat about hitting sandbars around Moreton Bay a big plus. And means easy to do your own hull and prop cleaning with haulout costs. You could make do as a starter liveaboard, although storage looks pretty ordinary. But not for $1m.
I think those single berth's would be good for removable storage/wardrobe and a lot of the messy stuff (fishing gear etc) could go out back. With today's boat prices $1M AUD is actually very affordable. I think our dollar just isn't worth what it used to be
I like what I see with some tweaking would be great for island hopping the Caribbean. It needs a generator, ac, water maker, hardtop with solar. They should add some more cabinets in the galley on the wall it shares with the head. A couple steps and a larger opening window would be good for going from the salon to the bow. Overall I like the design and simplicity of systems. I like the shaft drive and protected running gear. I like Aquila cats for their design but they are v drives and all their gear is hanging down. A you tube channel had a mooring ball break loose with their Aquila and it ended up totaling the boat because of all the damage when it ran aground. I look forward to getting more information about their 1770 model.
Didn't these come out about two or three decades ago? I went on one once. It was about a 2m following sea and 15knt of wind. It constantly wanted to round up and cavitate. Pleasant and easy were not words that came to mind.
I guess a following sea especially if it’s short wave period will never be comfortable on a cat. I’ve also been in conditions like this on a Lagoon 380 and we had a similar experience. That taught me a lesson on what sea states to avoid if I wanted to enjoy myself 😅
Hi Dan. Interesting boat this one....... smacks of Whitsundays or Great Sandy Strait hire boat to me. Who wouldn't want to while away a week or so just pottering? Seems a little pricey though considering the basic spec and fitout. Thanks for the tour. S
Nice looking boat, here is my two cents worth after having looked at a few power cats and sail cats, the interior looks a bit spartan like the big three charter cats, possibly the platinum version has a teak and holly sole and some joinery if that's what you like, (I am now looking at Nordhavn's) I love the transom as it is the most usable I have seen as I would be using part time for deep sea fishing and diving. The 110 yanmars are trawler size? correct? another plus as far as I'm concerned, no need to go fast in retirement!. I would like large fuel tanks, possibly enough range to cross oceans? I don't need or care for the flybridge, prefer solar up there and possibly a davit and dinghy. Three feet draft seems a bit much? some of the competition is half that. (the Bahamas would be my main hangout) Love the head location, away from the beds. Are the hulls symmetrical or asymmetrical? many cat hulls are asymms and this is a rougher ride, the old Glacier Bays had symmetrical hulls that is the one they crossed the pacific ocean with. I would prefer another 8 to 10 feet for LOA? Not having sail drives is a big plus, shafts are problem free.
Comments from a great lakes and Illinois River boater located near Chicago... 1. The bow looks a little odd like it could stick out about an extra foot or two in length allowing less spray which you encountered and room to put additional items like bicycles, kayaks etc. 2.
2. That bathroom was nice but this boat needs two bathrooms. Also the shower being right inside the door means if somebody just takes a shower the next person's walking on a wet floor to get to the toilet. Go get wet feet or track water throughout the boat. That should be reversed with the shower on the gunwale side. 3. You talked a lot about entertaining and I agree the the boat can handle a lot of people, but the base model seems to have absolutely no cabinets sinks storage ice makers extra refrigerators or anything that would work to actually entertain somebody. The cockpit and flybridge could easily have additional cabinetry so you can lay out some food. 4. For sure that cockpit needs some kind of shade even if it's manual. People will get scorched back there. 5. I can't believe you have to go down to the engine compartment to switch the cranking battery off and have to upgrade to the better model to have a relocated to a better place. That is way too bizarre. You mentioned older people and I'm one of them at 60 and overweight I'm not going to be climbing down there constantly. 6. If the weekender is $50,000 less than the Platinum I figured I couldn't make some of those modifications myself, but think the factory should have those as options. 7. Overall I did like the boat tremendously as I like simplistic things and it certainly looks like it's got less things to break the most boats. 8. For the fly bridge, you didn't mention if the bench seating had storage under it I assumed it would but I don't know. I also think access to the bow from the fly bridge would be a great improvement for solo boaters. This is similar to the old Carver Santego.
8. Lastly, it seems like it would need both thrusters at a minimum if the steering wheel is that ineffective. I ain't never drove a catamaran so I don't know but in the windy city we have to contend with lots of wind from the environment and our politicians !!
Dan, this boat is screaming "Bahamas!" "Southwest Florida!" "Florida Keys!" "Florida East Coast!" Haven't seen the sea trial yet (range, speed, sea kindliness) so don't know how 'Loop' suitable. Why not bring a baker's dozen of these to the FIBS and watch them be gobbled up. Love the simple layout, practical design features. How suitable do you think folks along the Queensland Coast would find this boat?
G'day Jack! I actually had an old brokerage client who bought a used one of these and drove it from NZ back to Australia (1,100NM open ocean). The new owner of Scimitar also bought a used model in PNG and drove it back to SE Qld which is like going from Nova Scotia to Miami. So yes these boats have traditionally been operated by cruising couples in Aus who was reliability due to the remote places they go and inability for outside support.
Michigan checking in! Looks like a great boat for the great lakes! It tends to get chilly up here! Other than that id like to give one a try!! Do you have any in the great lakes?? Thunder Bay area
Can I ask a question as to why opening up the aft engine bay from under the bed there is water under the engine ???? Shouldn't this be dry ? If not how is water getting into the engine bay on the bottom of the hull please ? As when in forward travelling OR reverse in conditions that water will be splashing against the engine and all other things down there creating electrolysis and deterioration to everything.
@BoatLife_DansBoatLife Dan thanks for never allowing bias into your commentaries. So many boating channels, it's all he him bloke… If a woman is even acknowledged, it's only to discuss the merits of the gallery or how easily she can help the man dock or set the anchor. And don't get me started on his and hers stateroom storage assumptions… I live on an island, I own a boat, want a bigger boat, and want to share it with my girlfriend. Most boat channels erase that as a concept. Maybe it's because you're a fellow Aussie and society here isn't a binfire like certain other countries?
Wow love the range and speed. But too wide to do the rivers of france, 5m max. Around the med and european rivers is my goal. Interior door to bow would work, add a door to the swim platform at the little opening. Good space but looks like a hospital room.
I think when it comes to the interior you could speak to them about preferences. Also they have the platinium version which i'm posting another video about soon. Around the Med (minus the rivers) would be awesome!
From Florida, I think the one public bathroom would be a deal breaker for me. Not a fan of the wet head. Otherwise seems very nice and decently appointed.
Needs transom door to swim platform, dingy davits, covered cockpit, molded stairs instead of ladder, one of the beds should be an island as no-one likes to roll over someone else to pee, optional lower helm with door would be nice.
Mostly love it.....but like so many fly bridge boats, its a hell of a long way from the helm to either the side or the bow....try getting in a berth or picking up a mooring solo!!!
Agreed, get it somewhere like the Whitsundays with short sharp chop and that helm would rattle itself too pieces in no time, I do like the idea of being able to tuck it away though when not in use
About $660K USD in Australia plus shipping etc to other countries. Although now i think of it, i think we have free trade agreement with USA so maybe less complicated to ship to US?
ONE head .. for 6 to 8 persons 😳😆😎 and it ventilates to the fly .. plus it spoiles the lounge/saloon view and feel .. poor design, just people storage 😑
I'm referring to the systems onboard and they way they have been designed for ease of maintenance. Also i'm speaking to people with a bit more of a cruising focus instead of day boating
I guess I just remind myself what $1M AUD buys these days. I’m testing a 32ft day boat today that’s base price is $1M AUD and most 1 bedroom apartment’s where you would want to live are about the same too. Seems like the Aussie dollar just isn’t worth what it once was…?
@BoatLife_DansBoatLife This is a good basic platform for a cruising couple ? Allows to a lot of personal freedom for almost any kind of cruising taste. Unfortunately no decent space for garage, workshop and on board office. This is a completely naked and barefoot girl, WAY OVER PRICED. Unfortunately Not a No NONSENSE PRICE.. They should calculate their profit margin based on production costs and not on 14 people charter capacity. That´s of course if they wanna sell to cruising couples. I wonder if they have ever thought about what a cruising couple would expect from a 650.000 $ boat. That starts with full OFF GRID capacity. That´s measured in cruising range and autonomy. Add a full climate package for the tropics
@@robdurfee6861 my boat also had neither and now it has both. Probably better then whatever less efficient versions came on it from factory. It even runs on 48volts if I want to turn off the generator.
"Boring" is what comes to mind for me. I'm feeling absolutely zero sense of quality or desirability. And the head right next to the galley and by the dining area? No thanks!
That’s ok, no boat will suit everyone. This concept is focused on keeping things simple and very much around an outdoors Aussie style of boating in Queensland.

I think this boat is pretty incredible. Practical beyond any other 36 foot cruiser. Simplicity is the name of the game with a single head as many beds as possible plenty of protection, shallow draft, and I’m guessing the option to upgrade it. It may not have all the bells and whistles, but anyone owned a boat for 10 or 15 years can see that that’s would be very easy to maintain, service and eventually replace any of those systemsfor relatively low cost compared to any other fancy production vote. Well done! Send me one! Great cruising in New England in the USA just a little too far to take it on its own!
underrated boat channel, with lovely background, neat presentation by this gentleman, amazing aerial view and edit job

@BoatLife_DansBoatLife fair.
I like what I see with some tweaking would be great for island hopping the Caribbean. It needs a generator, ac, water maker, hardtop with solar.

A you tube channel had a mooring ball break loose with their Aquila and it ended up totaling the boat because of all the damage when it ran aground. I look forward to getting more information about their 1770 model.
Nice boat! You should do a series of 150k usd and under boats. 25-30ft.
We sailed around the WhitSundays in a 1010 in 1999. It was awesome.
Looks very practical something new will grow I’m sure ❤❤

The cushions give that luxurious look..
This would be excellent for a couple on America’s Great Loop. Plenty of living space, plenty of range, easy to operate.
I was thinking the same thing
100% agreed! It's also quite easy to get the hang of driving around the dock.

Well designed rental boat for the budget minded tourist. Comes with cooking utensils.

Just needs outboard engines. No fly bridge.
Interesting point... That might be a good conversation I could have with the designers one day
Would be a right pain in the arse pulling those yanmah’s out when the time comes, unless that rear hatch is bigger than it looks
Brilliant in its simplicity,but one head and you have to add everything makes this boat way to expensive.
Dan, thank so much for this nice presentation. How much is this vessel please? Can I put air conditioning on it?
Approx $660k USD in Australia so add transport etc for other countries. Yes A/C would be no problem as they have multiple genset and solar options
@@BoatLife_DansBoatLife Thank you very much.🙏🙏🙏
Price way too high, for what I'm seeing.
It's appealing but it all depends on the price. Could do with master Ensuite and a galley dishwasher; otherwise I really like it
This model is specifically aimed at Aussies and simplicity. I’ve seen their new designs and this concept is coming
I'm a cat fan.
Needs a bigger marl8n board Preferably one that lowers into the water
The Platinum edition has that. I’ve filmed another video on that
That upper helm station is cheaply made, need something a little more substantial
Agreed, get it somewhere like the Whitsundays with short sharp chop and that helm would rattle itself too pieces in no time, I do like the idea of being able to tuck it away though when not in use
