Saxdor 400GTO TEST - Could the 350Hp V10 be fine for most people?

[@SingaporeDonoghues]

Love this boat, really think for its price it's unbeatable. Love the spec on that specific one also, the blue hull with white cushions all around, really pops in the sun 🌞😎

[@teebone4]

Amazing boat. Impressive review. Skilled drone pilot. Thanks.

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

Much appreciated! I'm also the drone pilot.

Great job. I ordered a 400 GTO a couple of months back. Your videos are spot on. Keep up the great work.

[@andyayyad7594]

Hello can I ask you how much you paid your 400 GTO, and where are you taking delivery? Thanks Andy

What made you choose GTO 😊

@@33R3X my boating is south Florida winter, Lake Erie summer so I don’t need an enclosed boat. It suits exactly what I will use it for

Great video. How you would compare it to an Axopar 37 or 45 if you prefer

[@josephwinzey5063]

Hi Dan. Great video and trial. Do you any major hull difference performance between the Axopar 37 and the Saxdor 400, mainly in short and close chop?

[@Coatsey007]

I enjoyed the lesson on how to dock this boat and will practice when I get mine, thank you. Nicely done mate.

Hello, this is the first cruising video for this boat. Perfect. What is the range of this boat with slow cruise ? Can it cross Gibraltar strait in the midditeranean ?

[@HarryShagnasty-sc9zd]

Gibraltar is 8.8 miles wide. Im sure you will have to refuel twice.

I'm in the market for this style of boat. As I mentioned in his walk around video, my only issue is that the prices here in South Florida don't match any of the videos I've found their in every case over 100k to 200k over what the MSRP is and I'm not paying that for this boat and they didn't pay that much in shipping...#scumbags I'd pay a little over MSRP or buy it overseas and ship it myself....but I'm not going over there to buy a day boat...frustrating really.

[@samsid857]

Clide, I know the reason for this markup by American dealers. It is greed and artificially inflating the price of the boats. That is why they also don’t allow the prices to be listed on the web. I saw one dealer multiplying GBP by 1.7 instead of the market rate of $1.27 to get to American dollars price. Is there a way we can communicate more? I am in South FL too

[@mukkaar]

Yeah. Just buy it Europe and hire company to transport it.

[@mts982]

is there a way to extend the hardtop back more?

[@lowcarb_boating1293]

How much foam is in this hull?

[@joergr82]

How does this compare to the Schaefer V44?

[@arne3664]

Dan why you don't recommend the 300 V8's ?

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

This is a very nice hull and I think it would be a crime to under power it. 350 V10 works best

[@dolphvz]

will ya do regal 50 sav

I'm seriously considering a boat in this class but im really interested to see how it would perform as an occasional economical trawler replacement for longer island hopping trips up the west/north coast of Scotland and Ireland . Really struggling for find lph figures at lower speeds 6-8 and how it handles off the plane pushing water . Im looking for a day/weekend boat but to do so would be giving up my mainship 430 trawler

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

Compare the slow speed performance of this, the Quarken 35, Nimbus C11 and others I test and this should help you. After about 10kts speed most of these boats are better to just get up on plane.
