Is this trailable pocket rocket an Axopar killer? | Nimbus T8 test drive | Motor Boat & Yachting

[@MotorBoatYachting]

Yes, we uploaded this again because, as some of you pointed out, for some reason the end had been cut off. We hope you enjoy the review.

[@marca2103]

Can u guys do a Uttern D77 review?

[@Nokenify]

Nimbus has always been known for its high quality productions. Thanks for the walkthrough!

[@robparrish8552]

Took your recommendation and bought one. Will let you know how I like it after the snow melts in Maine. Thanks much!

[@swatrifeman]

Well don’t be a tease, how do you like it?

[@dextew69]

How is it now?

[@Speedmaster5445]

Hi Rob, how do you find the boat so far?

[@chrish2996]

Clear described details. Much cheaper than most and solid built. Great video thanks Hugo.

[@stevenbatley8666]

These type of boats are very popular, over nighting is a must,saving a small fortune on bed and breakfast and hotel bills and that's in the high season trying to get somewhere to stay is very difficult.

[@JoshRichmanDesign]

How does the Nimbus T8 compare to the Saxdor 270?

[@fester.]

best review i have seen in ages and very honest

[@hugoandreae3495]

Thanks, our aim is always to give a totally honest, independent and balanced review

[@fester.]

@@hugoandreae3495 and you did thank you

[@dreoneful]

This is a boat I would definitely buy I was surprised when I seen that there was a cabin in this thing great all around design the only thing I would change /add would be adding an extra engine and add side door other than that but complaints

[@adrianmccann6428]

Brilliant looking boat. I'd love one!

[@danieldigiusto1943]

Fantastic review 👍🏻

[@hugoandreae3495]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it

[@alpboysan]

The problem with these a Axopar style boats are that they need an L shaped seating arrangement. These front and back facing seats aren’t comfy for lounging. Sun pads are good for sunbathing but you can’t lounge on them when chilling, you have to prop on your arm or elbow. The saxdor gto looks amazing, but again, no L seating

[@hugoandreae3495]

Prices start at £87,100 inc VAT in the UK for the base model with a 200hp engine

[@60viking]

The nimbus is useable and not as finished as the Axobar. Both are great. Will this Handel rough water better than Axopar?

[@Speedmaster5445]

Seems that quality is top notch on this boat. Saw one in person and the attention to detail and ergonomics is second to none. Seems like a boat that is made to last. How is handling in different speeds in comparison to other similar type boats?

[@MrFlyingguy]

great review, i love Aquaholic but he rarely gets to give the stock a spin.....

[@eddu4361]

Nice boat! Much more modern than their yachts.

[@davidmwood560]

Very nice boat

[@FinnishPanther]

I loooove this thing - it's surprisingly affordable for what is too (under 1/3 price of a T11).

[@napalmhotdog4365]

Although it is worth less than a 1/3 of the T11

[@McQuokka]

@3:00 pretty sure you don't need to remove the cushion at all...?

[@C5drummer]

Exceptional presentation. Not my cup of tea as boats go, but as a day-boat, it's well designed.

[@backdoorbursta2866]

If I was given a £1 every time he said 'nice' I could buy this boat.

[@barryf1966]

Looks a lovely craft

[@nicbennett6554]

Great boat, but what about price?! Hugo, you told us beam, length, weight but no price! Good tour and sea trial. Thanks 👍

[@MotorBoatYachting]

Prices start from £87,142 inc VAT with Verado 200hp

[@maxflight777]

@@MotorBoatYachting pretty fair 👍

[@spysjogga]

You should really test Flipper 900st. Tried one last week and i think thats the perfekt 8-9meter cruiser with sep 2cabins, electric roof, quiet and a Big L-sofa

[@gambanteinodal1246]

Good review!

[@johansjoberg5751]

Great review

[@peterjordan-turner8789]

Seeing you handle the cushions and seats makes me miss the sense of jeopardy when Nick does it one-handed.

[@danneboi4041]

Please do a video about the Cormate Chase34!

[@garethbell22]

No ghosting Hugo? I miss the ghosting! 😂

[@hugoandreae3495]

I can’t have magic hands all the time!

[@darthkek1953]

The front needs that seat converting into a lounger.

[@nothingsurprisesmeanymore]

You say it's affordable but what's the price?

[@hugoandreae3495]

It starts at £87,142 inc VAT. Not cheap but less than some other high quality rivals from Windy, Cormate, Boston Whaler etc

[@nothingsurprisesmeanymore]

@@hugoandreae3495 thanks. But it's still not in my affordable bracket 😄

[@blewyd]

@@nothingsurprisesmeanymore buy used.

[@markperrins9485]

Don’t think it will kill the axopar tho. Although if I were to leave permant moorings and go for a tow and camper style life I would be tempted.

[@michiganengineer8621]

Was I seeing things, or does that little 28 footer actually have a bow thruster?

[@craigkaschan4822]

Good question mate.

[@michiganengineer8621]

@@craigkaschan4822 According to the Nimbus website, went there after I posted the question, it DOES have a bow thruster. Quite a nice selection of options as well.

[@chizzlemo3094]

Looks great. No price?!

[@hugoandreae3495]

It starts at around £87,100 inc VAT

[@richard0807]

Any chance someone could teach Hugo a few more adjectives other than NICE!!! Nice is like rice - plain, and a tad boring.

[@easemailboxes]

If it only had a hard top pilot house enclosure. Beautiful boat, that head compartment looks too tiny to be practical.

[@BomaxGaming]

Check out the Nimbus c8

[@BillyJ10]

👍

[@jamielancaster01]

You can legally trailer a boat in the United States as long as it is 8ft 6in or shorter in width & this boat is 8ft 5in wide.

[@charlieodom9107]

Cabin and head compartment are used VERY loosely these days in the UK apparently! That thing is a fucking midget sardine can!

[@manosmargaritis9129]

first comment, thanks for the video

[@MrFlyingguy]

@Slippery Storm nah,,, i might be though

[@Icutmetal]

@@MrFlyingguy What an honor that must be.

[@runewinsevik8471]

The answer is "no", imho.

[@kristoffscuba5466]

Yeah, people are going to be towing that around the uk.....

[@nothingsurprisesmeanymore]

I was wondering what are you going to tow it with? I will be closer to 3 tons with the engine, that's too big for 4x4's and 3.5ton vans so it will have to be a 5ton van or 7.5ton truck. Not very practical really.

[@hugoandreae3495]

I believe some Land Rover Discoveries have a towing capacity of 3.5 tonnes as do some Mitsubishi Shoguns and Jeep Grand Cherokees

[@gaycha6589]

I thin most useful in uk for tow to winter storage etc, rather then running around the lanes of Devon and Cornwall,with that in tow, looking for slipways!

[@antoniomandeal6959]

Hello, my name is Antonio and i am a video editor, i would love to collaborate with you, if you are interested, send me a message. Thanks for your time.

[@shiraz1736]

Piss all that seating off, not a fishing rod holder to be seen 👎

[@KevLaj]

Axopar rip-off? IMO tries to be many things without succeeding at any very well.

[@rwg2626]

Still you can’t film well, zoom in zoom out zoom in zoom out and wait for it to refocus, it really isn’t that difficult, sorry you do find it difficult

[@CarLoverPhotography]

My nimbus 2000 is better than the nimbus t8

[@Jason_King.]

Bloody awful video as usual by Hugo, he’s just not a natural in front of the camera
