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.

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.

You could also hire a delivery captain to train you up. But really, this isn’t a hard boat. You’ll be fine.
