just to let you know the audio is panned to the left

[@Nick_G7IZR]

For £100k, I think I'd have a memorable week in Amsterdam and come back with a coke habit, a nasty itch and buy a boat for £50k 😁

[@Toby_the_Glen]

I'm worth you, £100k buys a lot of hookers and cocaine? 👍

[@benmoorhouse88]

Having to keep all that piano black free from salt staining would be a nightmare.

[@hugoandreae3785]

They come in white too

[@cookiemonster2299]

Wow I'm really impressed with this, really needs a day head for awesome fun days out. 👍❤️🇬🇧

[@jaffaholland4039]

it needs a loo, so that guests feel secure on day trips. It also needs a swim ladder. The boat is fanastic, however for the UK, you also need to be able to enclose it and have some form of heating.

[@davidodonovan1699]

Great video too. Well done everyone involved.

[@jamie3731]

What a great job, original and runs really well, looks good

[@nicbennett6554]

Great video and what a cool boat. Relatively cheap day boat that looks more fun that pretty much anything else in its class. Only thing missing from the boat would be a head to make it family friendly. Only thing missing from the video was audio on the right.

[@davidodonovan1699]

Great boat.

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

Nice video Alex! I've been watching this brand so good to see it on the water. Be nice if they optioned it with a dunny.

[@alexsmith3945]

Yeah, good point. I raised this with the guys at Wolfrock. They're looking into a toilet on the 827, as there's a decent bit of depth beneath the console to make it happen. I'm surprised it's not already in place, given that these boats have already been on the Scandinavian market for a couple of years but I would anticipate that it should be an option pretty soon.

[@Davejohnpeel]

Amazing speed and stability, cool looking boats on the move, just a shame not more customization avaialbe such as adding different adjustable bucket seat, speakers/lights in canopy, onbaord toilet, twin outboards etc

[@NighteeeeeY]

is it too much to ask that if your video only has mono audio that you mirror it to both channels before releasing? its hideous with headphones on.

[@marekdabrowski3314]

Hey, this is my job, I think I'd love to hear comments about the console and T-top in particular

[@mds-lf3kl]

Even more impressive than the boats speed and stability.....is the resilience of Alex´s hairstyling 😄

[@alexsmith3945]

Yes, many thanks. I've invested in a firm-hold surf putty.

[@clifbradley]

Are they only in black? That would suck using these down in the carribean or somewhere else tropical or even the Med in summer. That hull will scorch you good unless they figured out a way to not make it so hot.

[@stevenvillaudy1266]

Also available in white

[@darthkek1953]

@@stevenvillaudy1266 Michael Jackson said it doesn't matter if they're black or white.

[@craissupermercado6694]

Also available in grey

[@steveedlund3218]

Any plans for a Catamaran version?

[@steveedlund3218]

A Catamaran version with twin 350s would really be something.

[@ironichumorist]

interesting to see which reviews hugo keeps for himself and which ones he hands off to other staff. people notice these things.

[@Millie-md4jk]

What sort of kill cord is it running?

[@l4nc4ster7]

if you take one of those to the mediterranean in mid august will melt like an icecream. And watch out your bumbs when you sit down hahahaha.

[@tonyadeney1245]

audio is or seems a bit low ---- seen this a few times on m b and y channel ----------- // however very good reviews but for harder of hearing -- unless its my computer ---- /// good to see rib reviews ..

[@doradosurfcharters]

I wonder if it has zip wake

[@ironboats7967]

👍👍👍

[@darthkek1953]

Superb SBS assault boat. Not entirely sure it's family friendly if you can't tiddle and poop.

[@nickglossop]

The commentary is in mono.

[@colinturner4158]

Can’t hear anything on my headphones

[@stuartbaker6339]

That's on you and your headphones 😂😂😂.

[@nickglossop]

The commentary is in mono for some reason.

[@Ognir1962]

Nice but, definitely needs a head.

[@lucyf9034]

Pretty bad for the money.

[@thelifeandtimesofteddywint5396]

"Iron Boats" ? lol. Much too much plastic for me. Reminds me of accidently stepping into a mop bucket.
