  • I'm speechless, honestly don't know what else I can say other than this boat is pure perfection. The Frauscher 1414 Demon is a design that moves you. You can look at this boat from every angle and fall in love, and then you get onboard and the emotions continue.
    This thing is awesome.

    Wow! I just came here after looking at the SAY 42, which is a similar style of boat, and thinking that was the ultimate driving machine and day boat (and which looks similarly special but with more performance and better economy), but I have to say the space you get on the Frauscher both on deck and in the cabins just knocks it out of the park. Happy days!! I'd never choose to buy a boat like this but I love them to bits all the same!!!

    Zeelander does some of this stuff, as does Privilege Catamarans. But neither one really goes all out with everything in one package like they do. I heard of them on a channel that does yacht and boat reviews, wasn't this in depth though. There is a boat brand here in America called Pavati that makes luxury wake boats. They hype themselves as the 'ultimate' in luxury day boating, but one of these puts them to shame. Nice job Dan.

      Yes perspex screen and it's not scratched it's actually warps funny on the curves when you look through it. I forgot to talk abou tthat in the video as the other Frauscher windscreens you can see through clearly. I just assumed because this is a tricky shape that the warping occurs similar to what happens on some glass windscreens. If there was one point you can knock this boat on then that is the one and only point because this thing is a work of art. True boat porn in my opinion.

    Is there space for gyro marine stabilizer? I would trade the aligned screws for a stabilizer to eliminate rolling during swells. In addition, salt water from the tender's hull seems to drip on the engines. Is that ideal?

    • @BoatLife_DansBoatLife
      @BoatLife_DansBoatLife  Рік тому

      Yes gyro is an option. There is a rubber base for the tender garage that directs any moisture away from the motors but i would still dry the tender off when I'm back at the marina so as to not leave moisture in the engine bay. No it's not ideal but that's the price you pay for beauty I guess. Hopefully if you own this boat you have staff waiting back at the marina to pack it up for you at the end of the day.

      That's the third time you have commented on one of my videos about me saying i'm being fake - are you ok dude? I was genuinely surprised at how spacious it was internally as the lines from the outside make her look so sleek and therefore you would expect a sacrifice in headroom and volume below which wasn't the case. The design is like a trick of the eyes in the way they achieve so much and i loved it!

I appreciate that you want manufacturers to keep giving you boats to review so you won't rip them to pieces, but sometimes your praise is a bit much, bordering on fakeness. Yes, the proportions are sleek because it's long as relatively narrow, but it's still a pretty massive boat. I've seen it out of the water, and expected that sort of interior space, if not more.

    Dan, I wish you would do the walk-through video first and then it automatically go to the performance video with all the specs. That gives somebody the chance to like your video and make a comment without having to worry about how to click on the next video. I know I would personally rather watch the walkthrough of the yacht itself and then have a video about the specs and performance. BTW, back in the seventies we had an exchange student from Adelaide whose father worked in the government. Last time I talked to her she was a reporter in London.

      Dan, I know Rico and Victoria from nauti styles does their walk-through showing the yacht and then showing the specs at the end. Nick from aquaholics does about the same. The fact you break it out into two videos is impressive because you actually get to do a sea trial and then do a separate video for your walkthrough or vice versa. Your channel came recommended by UA-cam with the algorithm last year and I watched a couple videos and subscribe to your channel. I very much enjoy watching your channel and your boat and Yacht reviews.

    When I first got into yachting, I didn't know how to pronounce anything in Spain correctly. Messed up saying Ibiza, 'Uh such an uncultured American! So stupid' Mallorca, same thing. But when we got to America and people would mispronounce cities like Duluth, Withlacoochee, Tsala Apopka, Homosassa they got mad if I gave them any crap for it. They would non stop not let me live it down, but threaten to report me to the captain if I gave them ⅛ what they gave me. It occured to me that the people that give you the most crap about not knowing how to pronounce something are usually the snobbiest and/or most insecure people ever. Someone says it wrong, help them out saying it correctly. Don't sit there and immediately launch into a tirade about how uncultured another country is.

    You should have a little more respect towards the locals who always welcome you with a big smile and with their arms open, your comment about the Spanish who have anchored near you, is lacking in manners and respect that only little people are able to make.

      Oh sorry mate I didn't mean to come across that way. Agree the locals Spanish people are legends. I was more stressing for the boat as he dropped his anchor on top of ours.

    Yeah naw, sorry but no.
    It's a boat designed for flash, with zero practicality. Just watching the presenter waddle from bow to stern made me cringe.
    The huge bow is wasted space without any lounging areas, the aft is laughable, and the interior looks like it was designed by Ikea.
    Beautiful hull design... but I'd rather have a Riva for that money.

      So yes you're right it's not actually designed to be practical it's all about the look and feeling it gives you so I actually agree. I think Frauscher understand that they are not for everyone and that's actually part of the appeal for the potential owners - owning something that is rare, beautiful and unique. And sure the looks can be appreciated or not appreciated by others - personal taste i guess

    I love how you made mention to height as if 5'7 is an average height these days. I'm 6'6. My 17 year old son is 6'4, our twin 12 year olds are already almost 6 feet tall, my wife is 5'11. My mom is 6 feet tall, my pops is 6'3. So a 6 foot tall cabin is a big no go for me. I'd rather save the weight and buy a day boat. If I want to sleep on the water with a bit of motorsport fun, I'd just haul my 3 sea Doo RXP up to lake Tahoe from my home in Reno Nevada, and take my uncle's absolutely ridiculous houseboat out. Myself, my dad, my brothers, cousins and uncle built it literally from scratch. My uncle found these HUUUUGE pontoons. They're 32 feet long and 8 feet in diameter. Like I said they're enormous. We framed a 40 foot long and 18 foot wide foundation and floor base, then essentially built a aerodynamic beach house on top of the thing. Im talking 106 inch TV, 8 choices of game consoles, over 10,000 watts of stereo equipment, black leather couches and stainless steel appliances baby. I freshened up a 5.9 liter 24 valve Cummins and fabbed up very efficient intake and exhaust manifolds with a very large precision turbo burning bio diesel. Overkill for a houseboat I know but it's as reliable as a Rolex, totally eco friendly, and at 1800 rpm gets this floating bachelor pad going 24 knots across smooth water. I designed the subframe and chassis myself, I'm a mechanical engineer I work for Yamaha. The housing structure itself has a MIG welded 4130 chromoly skeleton. I used 2 inch 6mm wall thickness tubes all mandrel bent at my home shop and I drilled and installed nut certs in all the pre determined places we would be bolting the siding to. We bought a bunch of 3mm galvanized sheet, glued ecofoam to both sides, hung some siding that's made from plastic bottles and bags for the outside, and simple wallpaper on the inside, with a sugar slurry I make myself. The windows are all lexan, the roof shingles are made from pressed recycled carpet foam, we draw up fresh lake Tahoe water for the hot water heater, running water, as well as the old school swamp cooler I completely rebuilt and outfitted to work in the chosen location. This houseboat could sink and everything it's built from as well as inside it, aside from a few electronics and whatnot, could be retrieved with zero impact on local wildlife. We even fill the engine with bio friendly multi grade engine oil that costs almost $20 a quart plus like I said, it runs on bio diesel as well as propane but mainly bio diesel I refine myself at home. My little refinery can squirt out 3 gallons of refined bio fuel an hour from disgusting ass fast food fryer oil. My oldest and I actually lived on the boat for 6 months while I was building a twin turbo kit for my uncle's neighbor. He has a 2009 Audi R8 with the little 4.2 liter V8 and wanted more power. I achieved that for him. Anyway, thought y'all might find our build interesting. If you have any questions, just ask I'm happy to help with any projects you may have. Just remember what boat stands for.

      I think you're talking about the SAY 42 which I have also tested ua-cam.com/video/56YfmPMpPjs/v-deo.html
      I've easily done 500hrs in flat stem bow boats and from what I saw of that video it was just poor driving. Short sharp waves, outgoing tide and high speed don't mix with this hull form. You'll just burry the bow. They have plenty of other advantages which i've demonstrated in other videos
