I'm pretty sure the fat-boy on the boat destroyed it's stats. what what old chap.

Good review as nearly everything was commented on and not sugar coated; plus thanks for mentioning the price!

It's a great boat, but there are some weird small annoyances on it. The all white helm station will cause annoying reflexes in the front windows for one, and why not fit a boat that is practically screaming for a trip out in rough weather with proper parallel arm wipers? These are details that add little to the cost, but gives the boat a much more completed impression.

0wen lots of big boats have sliding doors and and is sea worthy and u can put chairs of bridge and will be nice

Terrible seaworthiness. Sliding glass doors leak, white helm is downright stupid, and fly bridge designed by a child.

Good to see a boat being tested in some gnarly weather - who wants to see a boat just plodding along on flat calm waters ;-)

And with a fat boy on board as well.
Lucky the thing didn't sink. WHAT WHAT.

There would be a lot of glare at the helm on a sunny day. They need to refinish the helm in a leather or matte black finish.

I see your point John, however a dark surface would heat up under the sun & probably degrade. Our Sealine has white fiberglass dash, sure it is bright under our SW France sun but we always wear sunglasses, don't we ?
