An exciting "first boat". Fast enough for water sports. Compact enough for inexpensive moorage and servicing. Great for a couple to share with friends. Just right for a young family. And a wonderful place to spend your one week (or two) Summer vacations. PLUS, the price is easy to take as well. Thanks for the tour Nick - good "find".

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I'm glad you liked it! 🙂

[@Broadcastvehicles]

The Scandinavians always manage to surprise with the combination of style, efficiency and sheer ease of use. Add to that a reasonable price and you know what to put on your wish list. Well done, Nick!

[@wareidav]

An absolutely spot on starter boat.. Love the spare cabin space. Looks well built too. Great tour as per usual NIck

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thank you!

[@22echomike]

Don't think that kid was happy you were wrapping up the video 😭

I like this boat. Love the two bedrooms. For a small boat, that is great. Thanks for the tour Nick 😊

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks for watching it! 😃

[@rexpayne7836]

That would be a great weekender. Excellent boat. Great video. 🇦🇺 😊

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks 👍

Cheers Nick, great to know.

[@brianpurcell9058]

Nice bit of kit 👌 cheers Nick

[@jaffaholland4039]

This is a high quality and spec boat for the price. Fantastic first boat

[@seanogden927]

A great little boat, definitely a good choice for first time boaters. Great tour Nick thank you.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it! 🙂

[@5pecialFX]

I have my eye on something like this in a few years.

[@bobuncle8704]

As you said, Nick. What a nice first boat.

[@PierluigiPuttiDiaz]

Beautiful! Very beautiful! Well done Nick! ❤

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thank you!

[@carloluigid2104]

A lot of fun can be had with this sharp machine! Nice find, Nick, and thanks for sharing.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks for watching!

[@robertlindstrom540]

Makes sense for it to be fast, for coastal use. In our biggest archipelago (Finland) there are plenty of good places to go for a day visit if you have a fast boat. The distances are long so you need time to see anything with a slow boat, if you´ve only got the weekend to do it a boat like this makes sense. Finnish boats are well built and practical and will do as well in UK conditions. A good choice.

[@MarkPoppinPringlesleaf]

Great little boat and very well priced. I could see myself in one of these . As always thank you for the tour Nick

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I'm glad that you enjoyed it 🙂

Happy Friday nick

I love this one! What a fantastic starter boat! Really, really nice. Great choice to cover this one, Nick. Thank you!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

My pleasure!

[@catherinesarah5831]

🦘🇦🇺 Thank you Nick for a great tour. Nippy piece of work for casual boating. Looks very comfortable & plenty of options to “styleise” the below decks to suit the individual. 🙏

[@AQUAHOLIC]

My pleasure!

[@adiaz2494]

Very nice little boat, for some reason i especially love the car-door style handrest makes me think it's probably a very comfy ride. BTW I love your small-craft tours.

[@baltvdb]

I'm sold. Really wasn't expecting the second berth. Great review as always.❤

[@peterjordan-turner8789]

I love it. A few nights away in a marina, and you have everything you need. Great fun and well designed.

Fantastic little gem of a boat, I love it 😀 Thanks for the tour 😊

[@AQUAHOLIC]

[@davidsmall7676]

Nick, I was hoping “by the magic of video editing “ you might have shown us the cockpit enclosure up and in place. Next time? Maybe??🎉 cool boat either way!

[@briansmith1029]

Flying machine that nick lol

[@nicbennett6554]

Great review as always Nick, thank you. Finnmaster always impress and this one looks a lot of fun for ‘relatively’ little money.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Yes, I've driven a couple of these and they seem really great! Finns do generally build a decent boat though.

[@thomasmiller2089]

Love this boat! Thank Nick!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it! 😃

[@roddyspence8373]

I’ll get one to use as a tender when I win the Euromillions and buy a 70ft yacht too 😂

[@quackadillyblip2024]

Huzzah!!! A sea going vehicle I can afford, it might not be my Horizon FD110. But hey, it's a start. Lovely little craft!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

If you're floating, you're boating! Could have a lot of fun with one of these.

[@werty1432k]

Amzzing space in there but not having sunbathing on the bow might be a miss

[@timroden6617]

Somebody at Holover Inlet in Miami is going to fall out. Trust me.

[@maryholder3795]

Nice, very nice. You get what you pay for. Weekender or day boat. Comfortable with safety mind, a good first timer boat, I'm guessing can be used at sea, inland lakes, rivers and river estuary.

[@Chimie33]

What a great yacht, this gets very close to a Bering 88, which is great. Which one would you choose?

[@clifbradley]

Brilliant affordable option for most people who want to go boating. MB&Y was doing an affordable series which was nice. I'm sure you know since you own that channel. They should bring itmback.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I don't own that one. 🙂

[@KenFriisHansen]

If you flip the lid over the sink all the way over (there is a little flip-out support), that then creates a worktop.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Yes indeed!

[@markperrins9485]

Great looking boat there Nick. I must say I disagree with you on your comment that you wouldn’t want to go spend a month onboard. I believe it is more than capable of A couple onboard for a month. People live in a lot worse I.e a tent. I would say there is more space on that boat than a small camper van. If you recall we spent a month aboard our grandezza 27OC. The trip was published in the MBM. 2021. November December. On another note I hope you are getting on ok with life and work. It’s always a pleasure to watch your shows.

[@kfeltenberger]

Benny Welsh Terrier would claim the aft cabin as his lair.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

[@kfeltenberger]

@@AQUAHOLIC Yeppers! The little guy has claimed my walk-in closet as his "den"...so every boat tour I see, I look to see where he can have his lair should I win the lottery and be able to buy it!

[@Jacobstivala]

Nice boat 😊 I love your videos so much 😊

[@AQUAHOLIC]

That's great to hear! 🙂

[@Yotlover]

For the money that is a fantastic boat. Speed, practically. style, it has the lot. Great starter boat. Thanks, Nick, as ever, it is an awesome video.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I'm glad that you enjoyed it 🙂

[@jorgeibarra217]

Please do a review of an ALVA yacht !!

[@michaelmartin9022]

Boats don't have touch-of-a-button folding hardtops yet? They've been on cars for years, not even super-fancy cars, either

[@AQUAHOLIC]

The cockpit is vastly larger than (say) a Mercedes SL cockpit so you'd need a far bigger roof, and without a boot, where would it go?

[@Rayraywheelz]

I'm sure some might and could possibly be requested

[@AQUAHOLIC]

@@Rayraywheelz Nope, doesn't exist. It would be great if it could be done, but boats are the wrong shape so it can't, sadly.

[@pkupias]

Another thing is that boats have pretty much standing headroom under the canopy which makes it even trickier. Hydrolift has an electric soft top on some of their C-models but the headroom seems very poor for anything else than just driving.

[@jimmyquinn9639]

Lovely boat Nick 🚤🛥⛵️👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👏

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thank you!

[@marklawrence855]

What does it look like with the canopy up ?

[@opa-dick]

A great weekender and for water sports... Everything looks very nice and a great finisch . Imho a lot bang for your buck Thanks for the Tour Nick

[@robertwallace9215]

That’s a nice wee boat, good for puttering around a harbour, maybe running up and down the coast to get to the out of the way places. Awesome thank you.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I'm glad that you enjoyed it 🙂

[@Finn-FrenchGaming]

Karleby (Swe) or Kokkola (Fi), the region where much of the action happens. Sarins, Finnmaster and Nord Star are three of them. And Nautor is some miles away.

[@neilhaslam4068]

That’s a great starter boat (and a great tour - thank you!)

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Our pleasure!

[@prasatsurin]

A boat to get into boating and then you show a 300 hp engine. Something's not right.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Really? What's not right?

[@rogernewey1365]

I started with 4hp - but then I was only 9 at the time!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

@@rogernewey1365 I do agree that 300hp is a bit much for a nine year old. But so was 4hp according to my father at the time, I had to make do with 2hp! Frustrating because 4hp would have got our Avon Redcrest on the plane, especially if we had fitted floorboards... I had to plod around at 4 knots.

[@rogernewey1365]

@@AQUAHOLIC The Evinrude 4hp was a great little engine with separate fuel tank and no gears. Start and you were off, and reverse was achieved by turning the engine 180 degrees! Could just get a 9' fibrocell on the plane if you got the balance right! But even with 2hp at 4kts floating is boating, and the limit on the estuary was 8kts anyway! Thanks for all the great videos.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

@@rogernewey1365 I remember it well, the throttle was a slide across the front. We had a Yamaha 2hp, same deal for 'reverse'! 😄

[@bryduhbikeguy]

That's an Awesome 'day boat' ! Totally kitted for a short weekend ,or days out having fun.

[@trunkmonkey2931]

Alot worse than this 😂

[@adamdufait7890]

[@youfoundsound]

Don’t understand why the interior color is black. With some sunshine the seats are getting burning hot. Not really practical.

[@Leo-Crespi]

Very nice!

[@paulcunningham2859]

Fun

[@christophergherke446]

That's looks like a fun boat to blast through the Florida keys in.

[@chrisoleary9876]

Thanks Nick!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

My pleasure!

[@bollingmore1]

Just out of curiosity, is there a reason that most boats are right hand drive?

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Not especially. There's some logic to the fact that boats approaching from the starboard side (righthand side) are stand on vessels (have right of way) so you want a good view that way, but you can do that from the left with no problem. No roads, so no left or righthand drive.

[@bollingmore1]

​@@AQUAHOLIC Ok that makes sense, thanks for answering my question. Love the videos keep it up nick 😁

[@sh0964]

Thats pretty cool. Any clue what a boating license/permit/ doc fees run?

[@AQUAHOLIC]

It depends on the regulations of the country you're running it in.

[@eddieabrams9742]

We looked at one of these and they are very nice. Two things that bugged me - the table is non removable and takes up a lot of space even when folded. Also there is no easy access to the port swim platform (other than climbing over the rear bench). Relatively good value though and nice build quality.

[@Maccu009]

Torille!

[@leecolley139]

Great boat for even the experienced boater who has dock space limitations or is just looking for a fun day-boat. I love the look! Cheers!
