This channel has the absolute best locations. I watch so many of the videos and struggle to pay attention to the boats, because the scenery is so amazing.

was set on purchasing this boat. However, for any American friends looking to purchase. A reality check I received on the price. With import fees and shipping etc.. This boat is $589,000.00 in the US from an authorized reseller. (MarineMax) Not even optioned out. So, not anywhere near affordable as their stated price from the manufacturer.

Thanks! 24hrs of flying, no sleep and incredible heat this day but I was still loving it! Hard not to enjoy boating to be fair.

Love a Saxdor, that's a beast.

best video on this boat, well done as always!

U got the Life, Dan. Take enough time, to live it. U work hard. But dont work too hard.

Welcome to Sunny Singers Dan, the heat makes the beers taste better during happy hour!

Really, really wish I could afford this .... nice boat!

Incredible Boat 🤩

Looks a treat. Having to have the lid of the bar up blocking the view in and out is an odd choice but if you're going to put the cooktop there I guess it makes sense sporta. Thanks for the tour.

Great video, thank you. I have the 400 GTC on order for September delivery and it will be interesting to see whether they’ve made any improvements based on all the quality feedback people like you were giving. The steps being on the starboard, just one little example and the squeaky board, in the heads being the other. Another thing I noticed was that the door with the power cables should really have a cut out so it can be left shut but the cables still there fitting a cut out of the bottom.

Beautiful boat but at 40' I would have to add a SeaKeeper or gyro to it

@BoatLife_DansBoatLife

Yep a gyro makes sense for many places. I was in a very exposed area due to all the ships doing 12 - 16kts right past the bay i was in so you saw it at it's worst.

I thought the same thing. I wondered where would the gyro be placed in either the 400gtc or 320gtc? Is it possible?

Never driven an open bow boat with seating or walk around center consol, but I would be a little concerned about scooping up a bunch of water in a big swell. Maybe I've watched too many Boat Zone videos at Haulover inlet, FL?

@BoatLife_DansBoatLife

28 күн бұрын

So a lot of those Haulover videos with guys punching it into standing waves with an outgoing tide is exactly what you should not do on open boats. But in normal offshore conditions provided you drive properly and control your speed and approach angles it's going to be dry 90% of the time. But yes if you manage to dig the bow under and fill it with water i suspect a great majority of that water will be going over the drains and finding it's way to the transom. Those drains are built for rain and a moderate amount of water.

450s maybe if they do a special edition. Otherwise the 400s are going to be well quick enough for 90% of users. These hulls are pretty light and slippery so 500s would be overkill I think

It's like they took the Axopar and maked everything difficult to operate! 😅

@BoatLife_DansBoatLife

28 күн бұрын

I guess time will tell as I always test these boats when they are new. I was an Axopar dealer and have 1,000's of hr's on them and from what I observe of Saxdor they are focusing on a different direction. They aren't perfect - but i haven't seen a boat that is yet lol

Love the saxdor cabin models, but a bit much on the budget for the 400.

No seakeeper?

What’s the price of it?

Whilst it's a nice looking boat, and even considering it's GTC version, i still don't really see why you'd want a boat like this over something with better indoors space. As a Norwegian the GTO isn't an option, and the GTC isn't that great. For a commuting boat, I'd rather take a smaller Saxdor, perhaps a 270 or smaller. For a boat for daily use, I think I'd go with a Marex 375 if considering the same size as this 400. Saxdor's aren't exactly the boat I'd choose if I wanted to spend some time on the water.

@BoatLife_DansBoatLife

Yeah I can understand with the short seasons you get up there why you would want something that's more of a liveaboard - if the intention is to spend time aboard. I would also want to be able to lock up and stay warm. I think to be fair the focus of the 400GTO and GTC is for slightly warmer climates and to allow a big of protection from the wind and cool (but not freezing) temps. I'd love to get up to Norway and explore it as I see all the cool boat's coming out of that region so looks like some great stuff is happenning.

The idea behind saxdor is really great, but that's about where it remains, an idea. Had a 320 GTO, very fun boat, but the build quality of everything is just terrible. Their warranty service is also terrible, just adding up to having a fun boat, but a pain to maintain. The result is that after 3 years you end up having a boat worth nearly half the initial price. And just remember, the more features, the more things that could break.... Hopefully the future holds something better

Not to be a jerk, but you know you are small, and so it does make it hard to judge the boats, hence camera angle issues with anything. Capt. Steve doesn't own the tape measure patent bud...is all. Regardless, I do enjoy the in-depth reviews. It's the same as I do when I'm on boats. Just can't tell the sizes of things that's all....little man....lol...jk

My dealer keeps saying that if you don’t select the “aft cabin” in the rear of the boat you lose the sofa/bed in front of the engine. After watching this video I believe that you CAN have the sofa/bed without selecting the “aft cabin option”. Can someone confirm?
