That sleek deck is perfection.
Though, I would want to have a spot there to sun and step onto the water.

If Aston wanted to move things in an exciting new direction - perhaps they could build it with an electric drive.
Interesting that this was NOT a collaboration, it does appear they have an interest in the boat market!
HOWEVER HINCKLEY'S ARE A MUCH BETTER BOAT.

Rather get something twice the size which is just as fast with all the facilities, just as "wow" and FAR more practical for literally 1/10th of the price

520hp V8 and did he say 8.6 litres??
only americans would build engines like that
I liked the boat, great great haul, but the engine LACK some humph.. its not a fun boat to ride, and it COULD be, its got a really good haul, seemed quite heavy for the engine, v8 v12 v9999 doesnt matter if it dont deliver the boost for fun.
I wish aston martin could understand this.

The Marauder SS Blows this out of the water Because that's what They know!
Too many electric guismos make too much weight and the bimini must be a real killer.
Also, one sniff of salt air and all that pale cream leather is going to look like shyte.
I knw those mercs sound nice and all but I'm not why it doesn't have genuine am units....... is there no such thing in our homogenised boat and car industry (is nothing sacred any more).
In the MBY test Hugo said takes 2/3 seconds for the props to grip and I think that sais it all.
Edit a least I doesn't have that awful swoopy back end look that seems to have plagued the industry for last 10 years. It does look nice and a bit '60s from the front angles.
That's my penn'th for all its worth.
why aren't they aston martin v8s??
I don't want to be paying the fuel bill at 35 knots.
(+-20gallons/hour per engine??)
Those v8s are sensual.
.......but remember the gov't wants to see all electric (crap) cars in 20 years times so what future for these?
HAHAHA #BeautifullyDesigned The v8 vanquish is still my most favorite car that I've driven thus far, why not have a boat to match!!
sounds like its supercharged (fixed rpm and coilwhine?)
"spends 1.6mill on a boat... -eeeh, i dont want to sleep in a 5star hotel, lets sleep onboard..."xD
PLURAL??
Bond. James. bond. D B 4
Beautiful boat
Stick to cars.
I'd sooner have a Rivamare - looks almost identical (for sure Aston got their design from it) and with a lot more practical features....like a sunpad, swim platform and is almost half the weight.
Thank You!
I'd be too scared to take it out.
What market are they targeting? What outdrives does it have? Can the cockpit cover function manually?
Stick to cars Aston Martin !!!
Whilst it looks great in profile, this boat is utterly useless even as a tender to a mega yacht. No way of getting to the anchor locker and no way of getting into and back out of the water. This is just a concept and nothing more. It is too heavy to be competitive with other power boats in the range and too expensive to be taken seriously. With that kind of price tag you can easily buy a custom built power boat. However up market Aston think they are in the production car world, the boat world is all together different. Punters spending over £1m expect free reign to specify just what they want and won't just buy a pre-specified boat just because it has Aston written on the side.
Although I have to admit this is a better attempt at a boat by a production car manufacturer than the Mercedes attempt which is truly awful. But it is still just an attempt and not properly useful as a boat.
Anyway very entertaining and i quite liked the idea of the perspex or glass sliding roof, But it should really have been
able to be closed and still steer it!. thanks for all the fun, haven't commented before but have really enjoyed your"garage"..
200ft must be fun at times, I have a Princess 61 down there, which feels plenty big enough to me!
Thanks for watching
Dont you want to be richer?
Good investment and you can make 10x of amount you winned after year...
After winning money you must invest, open factory or something.
I once owned a Windy 37 which had more responsive steering and equally impressive hull as this prototype AM37S but this first review isn't a definitive verdict on the AM37 because that has to wait until I test the production version.
Thanks for watching

And Raymarine is very good stuff.
Nothing wrong with the boat, but you can get a hell of a lot more boat for that money.
itsa tough a one but those am v8s might just swing it for me..... even chevy cant compete with those...
