Great walk through Scott. You can't beat cats for space. Any idea of cost? I'm looking forward to next Friday's video. 🇦🇺🦘😀

Hi Rex 😊 as always mate thanks for watching. I really like that one too. Lots of space but still felt compact and overly large void spaces in the salon. I thought it was all quite nicely designed 😊😜 - Scott

not a fan of the allocation of space on the main deck. the galley/dining take op 2/3 of the footprint and, given the lower help station, there is no proper saloon. the galley is ridiculously large. with a lower help galley should be forward allowing a full saloon aft. this also allows the pilot to prepare a quick snack or drink while on passage and still keep lookout. i dont know why so many manufacturers fall victim to the jumbo galley though i have my suspicion. once the meal is dont you do not spend the day lounging about the kitchen. or in inclement weather. or on passage. it is a waste of space. and three dining areas are surplus to requirements on a 53 foot vessel. it also makes little sense for the flybridge grille to be forward enclosed under cover of the hard top next to the helm. it should be more aft so smoke streams away from the guests at the party. this boat looks very very good. the range is impressive and i have to say the engine installation is immaculate. not impressed with this layout though i would be curious to see the other options on offer. especially if they have a single helm on an enclosed flybridge with a sky lounge.
