Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

    There’s no replacement for displacement 🥳 32 litre V12 x 2 wooooooohoooooo…… that should move something 🙂 As you say Hugo, very narrow rev range, serious grunt at low rpm…….. when you think, the most excellent Rolls Royce V12 Merlin, used in a myriad of planes, tanks and boats…… was a paltry 27 litres…… How that 65 can be so nimble is amazing…….. Interesting to do a minor tour whilst underway…… as a good number of passengers may want to “go below” whilst underway……. which isn’t always pleasant on some boats.

    Great sea trial Hugo, thank you. As others have said, the helm looks fairly shocking. If I had £3m to spend on a boat, it would be a deal breaker for me.

    I agree beautiful boat, however the helm position will upset people quickly. Having a fully adjustable seat, up down, forwards and backwards is really important. The fuel costs will be a killer of this and other boats. For me I like a slow and steady boat that costs very little to run.

    Surly if you make your own water they can't stop you washing your boat the water falls straight back into the Ocean recycled, quere ppl the french are. Awesome vid my friend

    I’m guessing they can custom fit the seat for the owner.

    Well.. With the sound of those engines from inside the cabin when cruising.... That would be horrendous to deal with.

    If you have been on ferries quite a lot like I have, you get numb to it xD I'd feel nostalgic about it at this point, because I haven't really gone on a ferry in a long time.

    It's good - and honest - to quote the hideous fuel consumption of this thing when using any of its performance. I wonder if even a well-heeled owner would get pissed off filling the tanks and run it at 10 kn most of the time?

    Ah, corporal, it is a nice boat and all...but that price....hmmmmm. I think unfortunately we are facing a global recession and the Markey is going to tumble.
