Excellent review. Really appreciate you pointing out the your favorite features and issues you have with the designs. Every single other reviewer only lists one compliment after another. Grading while taking the price into account adds real value to the review. Well done Bobby. These review could be feature videos more often.

Flat hatch forward is opened usually with your foot. With the ball of your foot, press down and twist to unlock each handle, then lift. Easy! 😉

I think your price assessment was right on. That's too much price difference for such a little gain on the extra footage😊

Hey Bobby, I realize this is just a tour but the sailing performance and rough water performance comparison would be great to at least mention. If I buy one of these I'm not just buying it for the living space - I'm buying it to sail around with.

I say C+ Manufacturers should begin incorporating davits as a standard. Having an option for a hard top to incorporate solar should also be available.

Seems like you get alot more bang for your buck with a motor home.. I bet a nice used Prevost would be around this same price and has plenty of refrigeration...I get it doesn't float around the world but still an awesome way to see the country!

Wow Bobby you are so anti monohull now that your cat is on order. It really shows when you say ‘it is what it is’ like no one should sail a monohull. Some of us still enjoy the ‘getting there’ on a monohull.

Hi Bobby. You're generous with giving a B+. I would say at $620k a B-/C+ because of poor layout of Galley, no dingy setup, soft Bimini and what looks to be average to poor fit and finish. Making changes to any of these things would jack the price up even more. In my opinion, this boat is totally not worth it.

Always good videos. Thank you. If you’re ever looking for a fill in idea. Could be interesting to talk about the lifespan and end of life for boats, the wrong and right way that happens.

i understand why the chart plotters are at an angle but their placement (low and angled away from the helm) still seems wrong in my mind. maybe they work just fine like that....

I like the scoring system and that you give what you don't like. All these boats are so expensive right now. A used boat makes so much more sense financially, except what about the warranties?

Does it have an engine room? With room for a generator? Ikea interior is ok for charter companies
@christophedejaeghere57247 ай бұрын
There is extra room for a generator. The engine is between two rooms. If Ikea had furniture produced with ALPI wood, it would not be that cheap anymore :). Alpi Wood is a high-quality engineered wood product, it might be more expensive compared to the materials IKEA typically uses, such as particleboard, MDF (medium-density fiberboard), and even solid wood composites.

**EDIT* I just saw their episode and you are friends !! lets do this yo! PLEASE make a video with "Spear It Animal" you have a great contact! your channels give the same vide, not like "Sailing la Vagabonde". They give such a too good for you vibe. and made so many bad calls with their new boat. Keep these videos up ! and these boats are over priced, no way its worth over $450

Is there any actual wood in the interior or have all these production boats gone with the "beauty". of whatever the heck that material is called? Don't like it but also not spending 600K on a boat either.Obviously not the target audience.
