As stated, more of a 'marine machine' and a performance weapon than a recreational boat...but it was certainly fun to watch its performance on the water! Thank you for the follow-up to Dusseldorf.

Appreciate your thoughts Alex! This one could easily extend my Michigan fishing season. All the best!

Thanks Alex, great review. Whilst it’s not a boat I’d want to own, I’d like a friend to do I could go out and play!! Looks fantastic fun on the water.

At 2:00 i swear you were using green screen! I know you didn't but looks like it

Still don't like this one, but good to get the complete tour!

Since you have back in and sit down to use the "loo" do you have get undressed before going in?

What, you don't have one of those buttoned flaps in the seat of your trousers?

Cup holders?... asking for a friend

I guess you're meant to use one of those hats with drinks holders and a straw to your mouth.

it feels like we have seen a lot of this sort of boats recently. the content saturated with them if you will.

I just don't understand outboard boats...why?

Because they are easy to service, take up less room and can be swapped in and out more easily

@@theelitegamers1235 No easier to service than inboards, take up more room at the stern where you want to have room, and swapping engines isn't meaningfully more difficult. Meanwhile inboards have a long list of important advantages.

@@pistonburner6448it was initially led from USA where gas (petrol) is far cheaper than in Europe. The increase in effectiveness and efficiency of the petrol engine and compactness of the power plant makes it very attractive to manufacturers. The old bus engine (I’m looking at you Volvo Penta) isn’t the best at compact packaging for planing hulls. And to be honest the general ease of use of the outboard powered vessel overrides all the longevity issues. Diesel has its place in the big old displacement or semi displacement hulls. Just for info my perspective comes from 3 years of ownership of VP KAD44 followed by the same duration for a Cummins QSB 5.9. Plus a working environment populated with 60hp to 300hp outboards. Preferences, Cummins over Volvo every day! Closely followed by the Yamaha 250hp over everything else in the range. If you want reliability and ease of use Yamaha Outboard wins hands down.

Cheaper to operate, easier to work on and more power range choices…they are taking over the I/0 boats under 50 feet……face realty BRO

@@markymark959 I don't get why they are cheaper to operate? Shouldn't inboards have more space etc. than the crammed-in, limited form that outboards have to conform to? Shouldn't inboards be more efficient due to more advantageous direct-line transmission possibility, etc.?

It sounds like an empty bucket, lol

Terrible acoustics, and so many details which need changing/refinement. But I good base, I guess, if you want a small but expensive (and heavy) boat with outboards for some reason.
