Really good useful reviews and tours. Rapidly becoming my favourite boat KZbin source . Cheers Dan 👍

No worries! It's nice comments like this that keep me motivated to make more

Dan, once again: Thanks so much for showing the review boat in a mix of conditions, and separately in a walk thru. Looked like great fun, too. Off to the walk-around...

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

Appreciate it Jack! I want to showcase the boats in their natural habitat so happy to hear it's valuable to you

I was on this very boat just this Sunday! Got properly sprayed while crossing the Sydney harbour, though… so obviously I’ve got a lot to learn about going through choppy waters. Thanks for showing how it can be done 😅

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

Oh that's awesome Konstantin! You always need to get a few sprays until you get the feel for it. Speed and angle of attack into the waves is what will cause the boat to kick up spray or not. Whenever I enter a new part of the Harbour that might be affected by waves (EG Middle Harbour around to Manly) I always wind back on my speed until I can feel the ocean under the hull. Then when I can sense the wave height and period I'll speed up again and extend my gaze far out in front looking for the next waves so I can adjust my speed and angle as necessary. Just go boating heaps this summer and you'll get the hang of it. Enjoy mate!

@@BoatLife_DansBoatLife thanks for the reply Dan, great tips! Definitely looking forward to more practice on the Harbour this summer.

[@pelicancove6092]

Great review in multiple water conditions, I was wondering if you have done a test or plan to of the 12.5 WA as well?

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

Not yet I’m afraid and no plans while I’m Australia this month but I will ask the guys just in case an opportunity arises

[@TheBillclark2]

it's volvo joystick if i'm right

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

Is that the case? I did not know that

[@MrSilus2000]

Engines sound horrible. I couldn’t live with that. Put the Mercs on it and it would be awesome
