Aquila 28 Molokai (2022) - Test Video by BoatTEST.com

Aquila customers are a loyal bunch and once they’ve been bitten by the Aquila bug, they’re hard-pressed to move to another brand. So, when it comes time to add fishing to the mix of boating pleasures, it was either use the existing cruising style boats or stray from the brand. Those customers spoke up about it and Aquila responded. The result is the first center console from Aquila, the 28 Molokai.

    I have watched a lot of Captain Steve's review videos and he's right we are well aware of his love for catamarans/trawlers/super yachts/center consoles/ribs/jet skis/canoes/tri-marans, sailing, florida, etc. etc. Just kidding, do really enjoy your work!

    I'm slightly surprised they didn't incorporate the foiling tech from the 36 footer and inward leaning engines like Insetta and Hammer use. A very nice "starter" cat from one of my wish-list companies!

    Amazed to see life jacket being worn in FLA…seems like only Captain Steve is to only Floridian boater who wears a life jacket. If you didn’t know better you’d think, by observation, that life jackets are illegal in FLA bec it looks like no one wears them.

    I'm sure those hardtop supports are strong, but do they really need to be that thick? They look like the would block a fair bit of vision.

    Not certain but Aquila may have been thinking forward to a second control station, especially for offshore fishing.

    Kinda disappointed in our favorite boat maker. Could’ve done SO much more with seating, head, transom ladder (take notes from world cat), and hard top. Dang it please try again 😎 Love your videos Boat Test, keep up the great work!!

    I agree. Also, this top power spec is not enough. 45 mph is just too slow, and the cruise speed/fuel economy very slow, and worse than many similar size monohulls.

  • @astrojw1039
    @astrojw10392 жыл бұрын

    Fuel economy is questionable. Other boats similar length to get better fuel economy, and not by just a little. Boat may do better with slightly more power, could be an underpower issue.

    so best cruise is 22mph with TWIN 200 hp engines but on 1 ( one ) 200hp engine she cruises at 26mph . somethings not right with this.

    This boat screams “cost cutter“, with the 12” screen being a perfect example. And, such poorly designed helm. For what it costs, I’d rather buy an older Freeman and have it refurbished for a much nicer, more capable boat.

    For starters, what's wrong with being built to a budget? Or with a 12" display let alone two 12" displays? It's a CC those displays are right in his face, not a few feet away from him in a glass dash of a yacht's captain's throne. As for why the helm's bad, go for it...

    @@darthkek1953 Have a look at modern, high-end CC’s, like Freeman, Fountain, and others, as to why. It looks as if they didn’t know what to do. Again, for their asking price, it’s a letdown.
