Testing the Best Day-Boat under €200k? | Flipper 900

[@FinnishPanther]

4:27 - small correction: the ST is actually a much older design from ca 2013-2014 and even the hull is completely different. Having owned a 2018 Flipper 800DC I have to say that everything they changed to the 900DC gets my vote - the windshield rake is higher that you can see outside better, the heads compartment is lovely as well and the midship bunk. This is on our shortlist to be our new boat. It is built well it is has everything for a family of 2-4. Also it looks a lot more modern than the Finnmaster T9.

Love this boat. I must say that you really have set the standard for production of boat testing videos. Super professional! 👍

[@Yachtbuyer]

Thank you very much!

[@cookiemonster2299]

Agreed, yachtbuyer and boat life have taken boat vids to the next level. 👍

[@kolgrillarn]

I know! Made in Finland 😊😊 i used to have two smaller ones. Super quality and safe in waves!👍👍

[@seanogden927]

Wow that is seriously fast, it looks fantastic and is well laid out, yes it could do with better head room below deck but it's not a real issue for a day / weekend. Great tour as always Jack thank you.

[@Yachtbuyer]

Cheers Sean! - Jack

[@nicbennett6554]

Great review Jack, thanks. Really impressive performance and deck space, although the head room below decks would be a deal breaker for me in such a competitive market.

[@Leftplayer1]

Great review. Finally someone who not only goes through the things they see without commenting on them (yes, I can see there is a clear over there!), and pointing out the negatives…

[@Yachtbuyer]

Thanks Andrea! - Jack

[@OfficialJGorman]

Very nice and great value for around £190k. I would like to see the ST enclosed version tho as in Britain this model wouldn’t get much enjoyment with the weather sadly.

[@peterjordan-turner8789]

Great value for a fun boat. Loving the drone footage.

[@Yachtbuyer]

Thanks 👍

[@LawrenceBroussard]

That speed sure is nice when bad weather pop up and your trying to get home!

[@colinturner4158]

Lovely boat Jack excellent video as usual it appears to glide with er the water with ease but there’s a lot of competition

[@Yachtbuyer]

Cheers Colin 👍 - J

[@rtbinc2273]

Great boat. Aquaholic (NIck Burnham) sort of ruined the engines for me when he pointed out that they not only spell 300, but if you turn your head, they also spell MOO. Now I can't unsee the MOO engines. Also a common bug-a-boo of mine: some of the B-Roll is just played backwards and you can see it. The overhead shot - the motor wash is going backwards. I see that all the time on all sorts of channels. Why is that done so much. Since I'm 6'6" I'm not buying that boat, but I'll ride on your's. Cheers.

Drone shots my arse, Alex is obviously Superman with a go pro 😜, damn that drone shifts, awesome video 👏👏👏❤️🇬🇧. What a lovely boat, awesome for weekends away. 👍❤️🇬🇧

[@maritimefilminguk]

😂😂 thank you Mr Cookie Monster 😎😎

[@doverivermedia3937]

I love this style of boat. Funny how one's early boating years influences style preference today. Its like a scaled up Fletcher. Lovely job & first class video production as always. I love that you get access to sea trial your boats .... Phil 🇬🇧

[@Yachtbuyer]

Thanks Phil! - Jack

[@RichardandSharon]

Hey Jack…. You going to the FLIBS in October? Would love to finally meet you!

[@SamUnderhill-d2n]

Great boat and review. The shots look like something out of GTA, how do you even fly a drone like this? Love the matching engines

[@Yachtbuyer]

Crazily good conditions! - J

[@Muratshayev]

Interesting boat. As always an excellent review. Thank you

Thanks!

[@simonroe4037]

Very honest review, great.

[@trischurch5289]

My little girl asked why these engines are called ‘moo’. Now I’ve seen it, I can’t unsee it!!!

[@bagi1288]

It is amazing boat, but... 220k??? Great review as always!

[@TheUrbanEpicure]

Cool boat, gave it a good look in Düsseldorf in January, but doesn't really justify the significant premium over the Yamarin DC 88. That optioned/aftermarket hardtop is a crime against good taste - what's wrong with the built-in flip-up one?

[@MrSilus2000]

Test drive them

[@TheUrbanEpicure]

@@MrSilus2000 Why, do you expect the Flipper to be much better in that regard?

[@MrSilus2000]

@@TheUrbanEpicure Some boats are like BMWs you have to drive it to see where that huge price tag came from.

[@jacoblemche1912]

The size difference is quite big between the 88DC and 900DC

[@robertmoran5733]

Great tour. Lovely boat. Will the t-top allow for canopy covers to enclose the cockpit?

[@Yachtbuyer]

I’ll be honest, I’m not 100% sure, I’ll check with Flipper and come back - Jack

[@robertmoran5733]

Thank you.

[@Yachtbuyer]

Hi Robert, Flipper has confirmed that you can't fully enclose this version of the boat, however there is a full camper cover for the open version of the boat and the ST model has a hard top, which you can enclose the aft end of with covers - Jack

[@robertmoran5733]

Thanks Jack. I can’t get away from the Nordkapp gran coupe at the moment. Canopies, harbour covers with the wet english summer we’ve had are not enticing me.

[@Yachtbuyer]

I have an XO 250 Open so can absolutely see where you’re coming from! - J

[@joachimemand1687]

As mentioned before, the Flipper 900 joins the F//33 and the Cranchi E26 for the best looking small(ish) open boats. Unfortunately the T top takes away a lot from the gorgeous looks. Difficult decision between the practicality of the T top and the beauty of the open version.

[@MrSilus2000]

Bimini over hard top imo

[@Skysailor1000]

[@RebelsInc969]

Nice but i prefer the Windy 37 thats a nice boat 👍

[@TheEasyRail]

Windy price is like triple (or almost quadruple with options) over this

[@mambi74]

This is just a couple of minor modifications away from being a nearly ideal (and actually affordable) Florida boat.

[@TheUrbanEpicure]

Floridians (and Americans in general) don't really buy boats with a proper cabin for overnighting, you lot want seating in the bow and not having to climb up steps and through the windscreen. Look into a Flyer 8.8 Spacedeck.

[@mambi74]

@@TheUrbanEpicure - "proper cabin for overnighting" LOL.. Its not for overnight, though it'd be used at night.. or day, if its a good day.

[@MrSilus2000]

Remove the echo chamber hard top and im sold

[@clifbradley]

All that under 200K? That can't be right. Surely they will cost more. I bet if MarineMax carries them that will be over 300k easy. Just like with Axopar. Those like the 28' were supposed to be under 100k and then they get on the market and are selling for 2 or 3 times that amount for basic versions. Granted 200k isn't cheap, it's the price of a nice 2 bedroom house where I live, but the cost comparatively to the features you get seem ok in that it's a basic day boat with nothing really special going on.
