That is a beautiful looking boat, nice sleek lines, love the hull colour and the interior is good enough for a day out. As you say this is for a day out going fast on the water not for living in. Nice tour Hugo thank you.

[@maryholder3795]

Nice boat, very stylish with a clever hull design. A speedy boat for speed people. A day boat, very simplistic boat for a first time boat owner who likes speed. Not a fancy boat, but she'll be the choice of somebody, if you're not expecting a ton of accessories. The solar panel is very useful for the batteries to start the boat. I like her she not fussy has speed if you need it. Not an overnighter but she'll do the job on inland lakes, coastal waters, canals. .

Another great review, Hugo. Love the boat. Thank you.

[@richardbieber9323]

This is a racer! We’ve got the SU23 since 6 years and still enjoying the absolutely safe and fast boating!

[@Kltpzyxm17]

I'd ❤ to ski behind this beauty!

[@andrewdean1216]

Hugo... you are a master of the authoritative review... I have never seen this brand, thank you for the introduction... there is a certain purity of function to this... I kept thinking of automotive equivalents... pure bred, fuss free... maybe Lotus? Perhaps early basic 911s? Not sure.. but its great... Thank you as always. A

[@hugoandreae3785]

Interesting comparison, I’ve always liked the Lotus ethos of light, simple, strong and fun

[@tiaanpistorius7295]

Kevlar reinforcing material is yellow in color. The black is carbon, not Kevlar. Nice looking boat.

[@user-jc7jb3bu5s]

Great build for price!

[@mhofma12]

Great walkthrough as always thanks!

[@hugoandreae3785]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@nicbennett6554]

Great tour Hugo Remember your sea trial of a Cormate and how much fun that looked. Great boats!

[@hugoandreae3785]

Thanks, I would happily own one of these

[@KenFriisHansen]

What a wonderful boat. Would be ideal for us in the Med, except it would need a T-top really to provide some shade (and I thnik they "only offer a bimini). Still a much more classy alternative to Axopar and Saxdor at sort-of-comparable price

[@karatejoe5049]

Where's the freeboard?

[@MillicentSquirrelHole]

Fun, eh?..oh ja! 80mph in Nordski winter..open cockpit..ja, oh ja!..

[@chriskelvin248]

At the price and quality, I wouldn’t call this “utility” but instead, “minimalist”.

[@nothingsurprisesmeanymore]

If it was £10k Inc tax & delivery that I would find hard to believe but €200k with tax & delivery is just a standard overpriced boat.

[@S.V.TeFiti]

awfully small...

[@hildablanco1591]

The battery switch is in a bad place for moisture and the cabin is too small and windshield has no stainless support the controls are too tight together and the computer screen can't be seen in the sun a searay Sundancer has more room for the same size

[@kokomo9764]

Room is not the point. Speed is the focus. This is obviously not the kind of boat for you.
