£260,000 Yacht Tour : Finnmaster T9

[@nicbennett6554]

That looks like a lot of fun to play around in the sun! Plenty of space and speed, and given it’s Scandinavian, very good sea keeping.

[@r.a.monigold9789]

Modern outboards - especially with permanent fuel tanks - make so much room available - once taken up by "inboards". This boat will work for one day out on a weekend - still the lawn to mow - and provide sufficient comfort on a fortnight vacation. Family or two couple approved, I'd say. Thanks Finnmaster for letting Nick show us your fine craft.

[@dtutssel]

I'm guessing that's why the 2nd bed is there under the floor, that's normally where the engine would be. Makes a big difference having extra sleeping space.

[@Delvis343]

There’s so much light in the cabin with the windows that are effectively big skylights and the windows the hull. I’m impressed! Thanks for the tour, Nick!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

[@debbiejudd4933]

Great party boat.Thank you Nick

[@danielamazing3264]

I’m loving the helm seats they look rather comfy when blasting down the coast! Another lovely little boat today thanks Nick.

[@cheddarfish225]

That really is a very sweet little Weekender. Time to pop that on my wishlist

The rule of thumb for audio is, the annoying noises you think will come through don't, and the ones you think won't, do.

I suggest using your brain instead of your thumb to get the best reasoning. Or I don't know, everyone's results may vary...

I'm currently on my honeymoon, been to Monaco and today in St Tropez, my wife wanted to know how I knew so much about super yachts, I said it's all down to Nick😂. Spotted a Benetti and a Mangusta but found myself drooling over a hald dozen Axapars in the harbour. But the highlight was speaking to a couple of people from Prestige Yachts who spoke very highly of you Nick, thanks for all the info and knowledge you pass on.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Awesome! And congratulations 🙂

[@oneslackr]

Thanks for the tour Nick. I always love seeing boats from my home country & this one would make a very nice day cruiser/weekender.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

[@mohammednadeemanwar2213]

Wow very stylish 2 bedroom speed boat. Definitely cannot fault for 4 people in comfort. Thanks Nick 👍

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

[@Rossbott1964]

I like the way these smaller boats use the room under the cockpit for sleeping accommodation 👍

[@wareidav]

That is a fast weekender.. Love the style of this one.

[@SimonStamenkovic]

Nicely finished boat. Everything you need.

[@nickwatkins5321]

I really like that, cracking boat. Amazingly quick at 50k. Far more bed space than you’d imagine. I very taken with that

[@BrassMtn]

Perfect boat. I’d love to have this on the Tennessee river!

[@dieynad]

Hello. This is such a cute boat. The sleeping area seems quite cozy. I love the helm. Thank you for the lovely tour. 💐🌺🌼

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

[@richardhartley7094]

A boat to have fun on and with adequate accommodation and facilities do like it very much👍

[@marshallhughes4514]

I really liked this boat and I was really surprised to see the tuckaway bed!

[@davidgreen1584]

Love the smaller boats 👍☺️ especially how they utilise the space available them,,,, brilliant👍

Nice "affordable" weekend warrior. The Fins make some tasty boats. Cheers Nick 🍻

[@manuelvanderslikke680]

Hi nick, And thank you for this nice show of this Finnmaster T9 a nice sports boat with 2 big outboards engines, big cockpit with a nice seatting arrangemend looks great and a goodsize cabine what sleeps four guest so a long weekend along the coast is not a problem Thanks again Nick a good show ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

[@seanogden927]

That is a great looking boat, brilliant for the day/weekend. Nice layout and more below deck than you would think. What a great engine room, unlimited headroom and great views lol with awesome engines. Great tour Nick thankyou.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you enjoyed it 🙂

Well said Nick. Superb vid, you will never find on any other boat review site, anywhere. Kudos... 👍

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thank you! 🙂

[@Pithead]

Very nice little speedster.

[@OswaldCampbell]

Ive gone and bought a motor yacht. My poor little sailboat looks on as I park a vintage cris craft 251 in the yard. Looks like i will be rebuilding a 350 engine but the price was right. In the mean time, its a camper and I will no longer have to sit sideways in the lu. Considering oprions of rebuilding the 350, swapping it for a diesel, or maybe an electric conversion... wish i could afford the rig in this video instead lol 😅 Great work... keep inspiring our aquatic madness!❤

[@Silver_Xarr]

I wonder if they have customization for an optional table where the bed is at the bow, rather than just always having a bed there it would be cool to see a table with infill cushions. its always fun to sit in the cabin and play cards while the boat is underway.

[@MikeW80]

What a great cruiser! I’d spend a long weekend on that for sure!

[@Kim_Jensen]

Love the boat, love the tour, but I can't stop my brain searching for a Galeon in the same pricerange🤔Your tour was spot on as ever 😀

[@chrisoleary9876]

Thanks Nick!

[@AaronSmith-kr5yf]

Looks like a fun boat, 50 knots is straight gettin' it. Although strange choice on that dark grey/matte black vinyl. Where I live in Tennessee(or would want to boat in Florida on vacation) you'd burn your buns on that material. Anything that isn't white or some sort of cream is an instant no-go when it comes to seat vinyl in this style of boat where its exposed to the sun.

[@Sarrienne]

Always glad to see you get The Wave in, and I'm especially delighted with your dilligence here on the T9! I'm impressed by how comfortable and usable this one looks, to be honest. Defnitely one for good weather only, I think, but would be a fun challenge to make a weekend of it or possibly even longer.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

👋🏻

[@FinnishPanther]

I have a fully loaded Finnmaster T6 and I LOVE IT ❤❤❤ In a few years I’m thinking about upgrading to a T8. The build quality on Finnmaster boats are even better than to a Flipper or Axopar.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Fantastic! Great boats. 🙂

[@philipregas9128]

Nice I actually like T8 better than the T9

[@kevinz8930]

Very nice boat. And yes, a little more affordable, slightly less than the average home price in the UK.

[@rasferrastfarian739]

Rather nice, thanks Nick

That a very good day boat and men get in a fluster when distracted lol

[@princemarora]

Lovely. Well done

[@pistonburner6448]

3:43 Can you also tell us the secrets of how magnets work?

[@timk3939]

That looks like a stunning day boat for UK use, fit and finsh looks amazing, and the colour scheme on the deck is so classy, the whole boat looks incredibly stylish and well proportioned. Much prefer this style over the SUV types. 50 knots too and all those seats, can imagine that is a brilliant all rounder. Is there much trouble finding petrol at UK marinas, and is it a lot more expensive than Diesel per litre?

[@bobuncle8704]

Great weekender.

[@chefbergsfoodadventures6531]

Personally between the T8 I just watched and this one the layout is the same I just can't justify paying the difference in price

[@cheapme1850]

Beautiful and sensible boat, with three-season and overnight utility, unlike the current ridiculous bow riders being pushed over here in the States.

[@catherinesarah5831]

WOW. That’s awesome. So compact but so workable. Imagine 50kts I’d be back to the hair dresser first thing Monday morning. 😄🙏

[@terencecottington4273]

That's so nice. Nothing more needs to be said. 😊

[@phillipbeharall6271]

Great boat thank you 👏👏👏

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Our pleasure!

[@chickenlegs5219]

With bed under the cockpit, it would be great if they made the bow a seated area, something more sociable for the evening.

[@MrSilus2000]

If you could test boats this is one I would love to see

[@jgriff3218]

Great weekend boat. One question, the refrigerator, does it operate on the batteries or just shore power.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

It will run from the 12v system, yes.

[@kdrangej]

50 knots = 92.6 km/h 25-30 knots= 55.5 km/h 180 miles = 289.7 km

[@jamesellsworth9673]

I like the price/value of this one. It could make a functional tender.

[@africanpagan6338]

Hi, please do a vid on a Arksen85 75 or 65.

[@MatsBurman]

Finnmaster and Grandezza are same boats. So actually the 40 feet is the biggest Finnmaster builds.

[@KevLaj]

600HP hella fun but hella expensive! Suspect a single 300HP will see that boat do high 30s.

[@paulcunningham2859]

Cool

[@ColourWithChris]

Bijou I know I couldn’t have a boat like that and have guests in the bed under the cockpit as most of my family snore 😂

[@99dndd]

That’s why you have a dinghy as a tender on a long line for the snorer

[@pistonburner6448]

Easy solution: A dinghy which can fit a tent and a mattress, then attach that to the other end of 50m of rope. (Oh, 99dndd had exactly the same idea before me but his comment was hidden behind a click...I'll leave my reply up to reinforce his advice)

[@ColourWithChris]

@@99dndd 🤣

[@josephkordinak1591]

It stylish and all but for a quarter mill I expect more than my 20 year old Sea Ray Sundancer 260 offers. The head is a little bigger, probably a slightly larger cockpit but the cabin itself is smaller. Sure it goes faster with twice the HP but who wants to go that fast in a cruiser anyway. Does this boat have a generator or microwave? How about an HVAC system? I was underwhelmed.

[@lisaevans5840]

Thank you so much for doing a video of smaller boats as well as the super yaghts.🙂

[@AQUAHOLIC]

You're very welcome 🙂

[@ruairidunne5713]

Hi Nick , would you know where I could find replacement Logos for my Sunseeker Portofino 47 the ones on the roof sides I can’t find a supplier 😢 , please help

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I've no idea I'm afraid. Have you tried Sunseeker themselves? They might not have the exact same but they might have a modern equivalent.

[@omelletedelastreet9969]

Hay if you could have any boat wich one would you take ? Money is not a problem

[@scottbaxter7771]

Lovely boat but not sure I could call it affordable. A 9m boat and its £260,000! That's over $500k Australian for a 30ft sports cruiser. I know our exchange rate isn't good but that's big money for that size boat. Might have to make do with my 2nd hand Monterey for a bit longer 😢

[@_BLACKSTAR_]

Goalpost?SWEET?You mean if I go north far enough till I hit arctic ice, I can detach that thing, put on my skates grab my stick and pucks and have a round of shinny? 🤣

[@planb-bg]

Compact boat with not so compact price tag

[@alanpotter3863]

That looked like Southampton BS, but it couldn't be this year cos it hasn't started. When was that video taken? Thanks

[@MrWighteagle]

Southampton 2022, the saxdor 205 is right infront of this !

[@TheUrbanEpicure]

Been waiting for a few years now for a T10 (or a Yamarin 100 DC, or a Flipper 1000 DC) with full standing headroom in the cabin and heads and two spacious double-beds, but without the ugly, tall looks of, say, a Flyer 9 or Cap Camarat 9.0 WA, and without the price tag of a Flyer 10 - do you ever think these Scandis will go into this size category? And please don't mention Axopar, Saxdor, etc. - hideous.

[@andrewb6068]

Lost my range bingo, had 200 to 250 😊

[@MrPette75]

yay! go finl.. NO! needs a hardtop definitely! i live on the coast and i know the amount of rain and seagulls in here so, biminis ain't enough, otherwise finnish practicality and desing shines better than the diamond in the goats **s! yada yadas!! 👍👍
