It's a great boat, but there are some weird small annoyances on it. The all white helm station will cause annoying reflexes in the front windows for one, and why not fit a boat that is practically screaming for a trip out in rough weather with proper parallel arm wipers? These are details that add little to the cost, but gives the boat a much more completed impression.
I see your point John, however a dark surface would heat up under the sun & probably degrade. Our Sealine has white fiberglass dash, sure it is bright under our SW France sun but we always wear sunglasses, don't we ?
You make good videos but you often skip key details. What size are the fuel tanks ? What is the range of the boat etc… These are important things for anyone considering this boat
So a question, what’s she like in a following sea? Does she get squirrely with the small rudder? Is there ever a feel of an impending broach? I’ve taken a stroll around one and it’s quite strikingly spacious. It does seem to be the perfect little ship. Again questions are, what’s it like single screw UK marina manoeuvering in high winds?
It is no wonder you like to stand during rough water.. sitting on that piece of covered wood would jar anyone's back bone.. If it is a trawler why do you make them sit on a old wood bench? put in some nice air or hydraulic controlled chairs.. these folks need to make real trawlers not little wanna be yachts for week end duffers.. Come on Jack.. you know I am right here..
Good to see a boat being tested in some gnarly weather - who wants to see a boat just plodding along on flat calm waters ;-)
And with a fat boy on board as well.
Lucky the thing didn't sink. WHAT WHAT.
Good review as nearly everything was commented on and not sugar coated; plus thanks for mentioning the price!

There would be a lot of glare at the helm on a sunny day. They need to refinish the helm in a leather or matte black finish.

4:12 a rather unfortunate squeak.
Great presentation. Nifty guy little thing but fly bridge a total waste of time.
