    Can't wait to get my new boat and have you come do a review...just have to decide on what boat, and I'm constantly changing the criteria for what should be the perfect all around boat which we all know doesn't really exist....

    i drove along the coast yesterday and the car was covered in salt. i wonder how the interior of this boat looks after a weekend all opened up. i very much like the way the top of the fly bridge grill cantilevers up so you can use the top as counter space.

    Reupload I guess. To help the algorithm I'll say again, fantastic boat. Impossibly beautiful. Perhaps the most impressive of the new launch boutique boat brands. A combination of the opulent fit & finish of the bespoke St Barts 75, but the same huge "useable, real" space of the tug/explorer styled production Arcadia Sherpas. Clearly a perfectionist architect starting from scratch with no limitations rather than trying to incrementally improve an existing line. Just incredible.

    Electrical and controls set for massive changes going into 2025 as everything goes touch screen and possibly full autonomy ("Tesla Vision.") Still waiting on a hybrid drive system using batteries powered by an engine to power the water craft. Probably will be seen first in the Jet Ski market as jet drives at trolling speed can effectively go forever. I'd be very wary of this market until the collapse in pure play battery electric vehicles starts to manifest #big_battery #Aptera although I do expect boat hulls for the center console market to continue to grow as everyone tries to push into the 60 foot class of vessel. Some great looks with pontoon boats in the meantime. Might pick up a good one of the latter for $600-$800 US Dollars at the moment used of course. In theory a Pontoon Boat can become truly massive even North of 100 feet...and are capable of offshore work in the right conditions. Saw one being used as an offshore fishing platform in the Gulf Stream.

    As the owner of this Leopard 40 PC. I can tell you so far our experience has been great. We owned a Leopard 48 in the past so its our second Leopard. After our initial shake down Leopard was all over our punch list. Headed to Knoxville , TN from Fort Lauderdale as I write. The boat has performed awesome so far. No issues. Plan to run it back and forth to Florida every winter winter. Eventually the great loop. Keep you posted.

  • @captstevetests
    @captstevetests22 күн бұрын

    I hear you but I think you’ll find that it’s a remarkably easy boat to handle. Those props are so far apart that you have excellent control with just the throttles and the wheel kept centered. Dockmate would be an option if you get a bow thruster but that allows the same level of control as the helm. Just adds the ability to move about the boat. You could also hire a delivery captain to train you up. But really, this isn’t a hard boat. You’ll be fine.
