Lovely looking boat, and for the size it seems brilliant. Thanks Jack

[@120Livi]

Seems a lot more expensive than the Saxdor 200 which seems to be very nearly the same size and type of boat. Still, very nice boat and a great video

[@BilldalSWE]

It is quite expensive but the Axopar is much bigger... 7,2m (23ft) 1200kg vs the Saxdor 5,9m (19ft) 780kg. It's basically an enlarged jetski with an outboard whereas the Axopar has the option of a toilet and a full dinette.

Great job Jack looks like a great boat for some fun in the sun 🌞

[@jimbob1427]

This guy does awsome reviews !!!

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

Good review! Definately think the 200Hp is the choice pick

[@dinomoschovis7261]

Great review as usual! When will we see a test vs the Cormate U23

[@cookiemonster2299]

Very smart and good value for axopar fun and performance 👍😁

[@MrLoughneagh]

Can you please review some boats that people can realistically afford! Anything over 30k to me would unfortunately never be attainable

[@MotorBoatYachting]

In that case, check this out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2qVfXRqhN92aa8

[@nickglossop]

That is a very usable and versatile boat. Perfect for what we do in our smaller rib, I just need to save up now! On the web site it says it can take 7 people. Could it take more?

[@robertduklus6555]

apparently human smugglers fit 28 people on it so to answer your question..its a yes

[@BaldKiwi117]

Can you option some rod holders?

[@The9meister]

The netting on the back of the front seats, is some where to put your fish. Ha ha

[@johningham4942]

What a lovely compact little powerful boat, 42 knots for a top speed and a £70K price tag brilliant!

[@yachtsexpert]

Super

[@gerhardvanwaltsleben8944]

Lekker man lekker

[@mtwilliams92]

7 person rating seems low....do you feel like it could hold more?

[@hwood9783]

How many would you expect to carry in a 22 ft boat?

[@r7boatguy]

It looks like a tender. It's not a fishing boat, nor a day boat. Seems very austere.

[@goldenboy3672]

Like it, but for the 60k…. Idk it seems too much

[@nickwebb9290]

Well designed but too pricey

[@keviozhu1943]

how is 60k euros considered a "starter" or "entry level" boat?

[@MotorBoatYachting]

It's the smallest and most affordable boat in their range, so it's the entry-level Axopar

[@alpboysan]

Bayliner vr5 bowrider, is way cheaper and roomier , and feels like more of a boat. Handling on this is probably better though

[@hwood9783]

Very expensive for what is basically an open run around!

[@GuideInTheTrees]

BTW, no way in hell could you get changed in the toilet compartment, you can barely stand up in it and if you're sitting down, you definitely can't lean forward to put anything on your bottom half.

[@GuideInTheTrees]

The Axopar website says that the base price is 25,900 euros, why do you say the base price is about 50k? Even if their figure is excluding VAT, it would be far less than that irrespective of where in the world you live?

[@MotorBoatYachting]

That website price doesn't include an engine.

[@GuideInTheTrees]

@@MotorBoatYachting Awww damn! I've got a few more years of investing to go then 0/10. Thanks for replying!

[@emmanouel8]

If you go to the configurator on the website you can price one out. I pretty much added 90% of the options including 200hp engine and came to 45,140 euro.

[@covidhoax7646]

Too narrow for a center console. Too much wasted space.

[@willienelsongonzalez4609]

Yeah, nah!

[@JedemPoKucama]

10k overpriced

[@alangebbie8848]

Sorry think it’s over rated

[@erebos426]

Can get way more for that much, so basic yikes.
