Seems like miles of headroom in the cockpit and the fishing area deeper than most. Maybe the floors could of been lifted 150 mm and that offset with larger fuel tank / s.

They talk about quietness, but seriously, that amount of foam... i'm wondering about insulation value. If its got a complete bathtub coverage of foam, with no fluids below the waterline... it would be great for cold water operations... BC coast, alaska... and even parts of Canada... there are ports in Canada that operate year round... and in the case where the water freezes have "bubblers" that keep the ice broken up in harbor. so again fully insulated, you could stay on board even in the cold.

I've been out a couple times in one of the 8m options. Unfortunately the theorem isn't supported by reality. Yes they look great but it handles like crap. Heaps of splash over the bow, rides terribly.....I'd describe the feeling as tubbing/slapping, even in mild chop. For the coin, personally I expected a lot more. Naturally just my opinion, but its an honest take rather than the bias you'd receive if you were to ask the builder. If you plan on spending a half million, I'd take your money else where
@michaelcampbell49905 ай бұрын
Exactly what I would think just from looking at the hull shape. Was wondering if all the rave reviews were from people who actually know their boats, or from people who just love how they look. Thanks for your opinion.
