Nimbus T8 - Hard to beat this boat!

[@dmann7004]

Not fair Dan! I’m looking at all those beauties in the boatyard and drooling..😂. Your walkthroughs are so very informative- yet precisely because of this I’m forever changing my “final decision” on which one I’ll go for!!

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

Haha oh no. I'll try to be more accurate on who I think each boat is best suited to in future

[@urbanfuel]

Great vid as always!

[@jameshooper5671]

Great boat and a great tour around it.

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

Many thanks!

Thats a sweet little boat, I like it a lot. Through some clears on and you've extended your season a little longer. I think I like the hard top without the glass. I'd feel a lot more comfortable carrying things on the roof if it were solid. If the glass were to get scratched, I would think it would be very visible from underneath? Can't wait for the test drive. Awesome work as usual. This channel and Nick's channel are my go-to for boat reviews. Take care.

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

Hmm good question about scratching the glass i'm actually not 100% sure on that but i'll pay more attention next time im on it. Thats very kind to be compared to Nick even though he's in another league to me! I also very much enjoy watching Nick's videos he does a great job

Great video! As always, keep’em coming Dan! Awesome boat, a lot of features! Thoughts: Attractors -Best upholstery and seats in the market. Great shape, form & design. -Nice separate bathroom. Although, concerned an average 5’9, 5’10 person would fit. -Amazing seating layout. -amazing table design. -great cleats -Granted, a great config. Hull design, glass top. -throttle control protected, good -great black helm! -glass T-top Detractors -Unrefined bits and bobs throughout. Button snaps everywhere. Support pole’s & placement. I would expect this generation of boats from established brands to have resolved & refined all of the basics in 2023. Clean minimalism would do this brand wonders. -Bow looks an afterthought. -wood edges on the bed seem really uncomfortable waste of space. After thoughts -Saxdor & Axopar are demonstrating design refinement and progress faster in each generation. I love the competition in the market though! -Let’s see what the price lands at in the US and how it compares to Axopar 25 & the Saxdor 270.

Great feedback Josh! I'll tell the factories they need to be reading these comments too. Best way to build what the people want

[@jacktyler7599]

Gorgeous IMO. Very high drool factor. Contrary to Brian (just below) and because I'm shopping for a boat to use in Florida USA, I'd much prefer the solid GRP/glass T-top to the fabric ones. UV and seabirds will inevitably do a number on T-tops hereabouts. Dan, will you be covering the boat show on your channel? Would be interesting....

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

I hadn't planned on covering the boat show but since you asked Jack i'll see what I can do. Normally I just focus on driving boats out on the water so when boats are stuck inside boat shows it's less interesting to me but I can actually think of a few ideas that could be useful to you guys so leave it with me.

[@jacktyler7599]

@@BoatLife_DansBoatLife Thanks for that, Dan. I asked about attending the show because I'm curious how boat shows in Oz compare with those in the U.S. and Europe. E.g. in the U.S., lots of Ginzu knives and vegetable slicer hucksters, which we make fun of. In London, it was pseudo pubs serving beer and roasted chestnuts. Bet you can find a flat white or a bevvie most anywhere at your show....but I'm only guessing.

[@CaptainReidl]

Nimbus is great, but I simply love the Saxdor-design

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

Yes I can understand that. Saxdor is just bloody sexy. I see good points in both boats so can see them appealing to different people

[@CaptainReidl]

@@BoatLife_DansBoatLife I totally agree with You - Nimbus is surely the better boat, Saxdor is sexy ;-)

[@dariomajic1925]

They made it 2.55m in width because that is Europe standard for towing with normal car driving license. :)

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

Ok cool. So in my state it's 2.5m, that explains a lot

[@JoshRichmanDesign]

How does this compare to the Nimbus T9X?

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

Noticibly smaller. I haven't driven this one yet but will be in a few weeks. I'm a huge fan of the Nimbus brand, excellent quality

[@JoshRichmanDesign]

How does this compare to the Saxdor 270?

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

If you're going for looks then buy the Saxdor. If you're going for higher build quality then the Nimbus. I have not tested the T8 on the water yet but will be doing a test in a few weeks

[@wesleyferguson6932]

Still towable in the United States

[@adrianrubi5012]

No barbecue.

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

Local option i'd say

[@motoboy6666]

No kitchen 😢
