If you are attracted to this boat's quality and steady performance, I recommend you also view Dan's review of the W9, done somewhere in France as I recall. With the 'ease of use' clears that can quickly close up the cockpit area, it's a bit like two boats in one....and the W9 is quite a bit more affordable. Dan, you probably noticed your mike was cutting out when you would turn your head so we did miss a little bit of your commentary on both reviews. Thanks for the ride!
@@BoatLife_DansBoatLife oh yeah!! How can we organise it bro? Get a bunch of mates to email Makaira boats asking them to invite you over all expenses paid?
Hey I hope you don't mind Dan the Man.. but I've emailed Makaira boats and Surtees boats in NZ and mentioned your channel.. really am hoping to see you take their respective flagships out in some big big chop.. being aluminium Bluewater munchers.. would be great to see a non biased actual real world big chop blue water test in comparison bro. Keeping my fingers crossed some kind of NZ trip can take shape 🤙
So Mercury used to be quite unreliable yes but in the last decade I’d say they have completely turned that around since the Optimax days. I also stuck with Yamaha back in the day for reliability but Mercs are worthwhile considering these days in my opinion

Great info. Great boat. Thank you!
Love aspects of this AND the Saxdor , makes next year's decision even tougher now 😂😂
Those V10's are awesome, so smooth.
Great stuff Dan, good to see 3 versions on passage together.
Im probably ol' skool, but it would take a lot to get me to swap the C11 for the W 👍
Depends on the climate and waters where one will be using it, I would think. Likely lots of C buyers up in Nordic waters & NW USA.
I watched part 1 and now part 2 on this boat. I really like the detail and the informative test ride you did. . I just hit the follow. 😊
He says he gave up his Sales gig ….. having watched several vlogs, I would say he is now an “unpaid” Sales guy.
Quite the seller, this one.
great test as always 😊
Dan the Man.. love your work bro.. need to see you take an NZ built "Makaira gen 3" out in massive swell. Now that's a real blue water craft 🤙
I would be very keen to test some Kiwi boats out in massive swells. Super keen to do more in NZ in general. Lots of smart boat builders over there

I think yamaha or Suzuki would be better. Mercury isnt known for its reliability and that extra power would rarely be used
