One of the few boats that really brought a smile to my face. Love it. This is a really promising boat.

[@matthelms4167]

For a company that has 35 years experience with boats, I heard quite a bit of “they will make changes to improve this or that going forward”. If it isn’t ready, don’t roll it out. It is a lovely boat however, and a great video.

[@user-cr4jq9ry4q]

Very promising indeed, a great day boat for trips out with friends and a couple's overnight boat for weekends away. 👍👍👍

[@duncanjames914]

Wiszniewski is a very impressive company. The W43 is a very impressive boat.

[@seanogden927]

That is a beautiful boat, opulent finishes and styling, it would make a great tender for a super yacht. Great tour Alex thank you.

[@darthkek1953]

Every person in the world deserves someone who admires them as much as Alex admires Wiszniewski. But they need to change the brand name though. Elite boat but named as if someone spilled the Scrabble tiles.

[@PhilbyFavourites]

You could just call it Monsters Inc….

[@doverivermedia3937]

Very interesting indeed. Good to see a quality supplier taking their own products to market ... 🇬🇧

[@nicbennett6554]

Great review Alex, and what a boat! For a prototype it’s superb and I’d say you nailed it - opulent couples play thing.

[@alexsmith3945]

Thanks very much. Really enjoyed putting this one together.

[@mikelyon5595]

It has a lovely hull. My favorite part is that birth/loveseat! The magnetic plates, glasses, and Farris metal inset table are interesting improvements.

[@fishtigua]

Would like to use that hull to make a sedan. No interest in open boats, they're a pain dealing with all the covers.

[@maryholder3795]

As an advertisement for their building boat skills it works. Very Impressive. As a boat? A lot of thought and planning has gone into a sporty day boat. She a prototype so they'll be some twikes to make the boat better. All in all, she a great boat and will find an owner.

[@johnschieffelin3226]

Interesting boat. I doubt it will ever be sold in the USA sadly if they only intend to build 30 per year. Thanks for the tour.

[@Finn-FrenchGaming]

Are there 300 hp engined with six cylinders that would be almost as good and more economical?

[@manym7843]

How many kilometers or miles is the range with this boat?

[@davidbettney785]

Hi, What price range is it?

[@clbclb9988]

Price?

[@manym7843]

Tiene mucho parecido al DB 43

[@phillipboaden3258]

How many times can somebody mispronounce “dinette”!!

[@alexsmith3945]

As a bloke with a masters degree in linguistics and two decades behind me as a writer and editor, I can confirm that my pronunciation of "dinette" is impeccable. It's "bulwark" that always gets me!

[@Ognir1962]

A 43’ boat with outboards and then no mid cabin seems ridiculous

[@darthkek1953]

It's a dayboat not a cruiser.

[@MalcolmBrownie-bf8uw]

Baffles me how they don't recognise basic problems like you can't see out of or above a windscreen. That's the sort of fundamental flaw which shouldn't even be on the drawing board, let alone from a manufacturer trying to build credibility. Why send it to a show like that! 😭

[@McAlMark]

Another overpriced sand bar day boat

[@PhilbyFavourites]

Succinct and made me smile 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 I have my own secret sand bar here on the South Coast, it’s at……….

[@alexsmith3945]

Interesting you should say that. Having been on the boat and seen a dozen other models at the show of a broadly similar size and spec, it struck me that it was actually a little bit underpriced. Given the calibre of its style, quality and build (not to mention the innate exclusivity of limited annual production), it feels like a boat that could easily adopt the stratospheric pricing structures of a brand like Zeelander. Wiszniewski builds almost every element of the boat in-house (which is very rare even at the top end of the market, where various other brands merely bring in the parts and then assemble the product on site). And yet they have chosen to go with a price that feels more 'off-the-shelf' than 'artisan', which is frankly astonishing. As things stand, not only is this boat very different to anything else out there. It also looks like a bit of a bargain.

[@steveewing3156]

I will stick my cat this one looks like a verry over priced day boat
