Lekker man lekker More seriously, the problem with Galeons under 50/55 foot (depending on model range) is you do not get the full drop-down sides with cocktail seats portside and an open, ocean-facing seat starboard (some just-smaller models have cabinetry starboard inhibiting access and views). The FULL open aft deck is SO good it's a shame to not have it.
Another great review from Captain Steve! I like how Galeon used darker colors on and around all of the glass, which is a big help in reducing glare. The only glare I noticed was from below deck when the companionway was open and another slight centerline glare on the windshield, which is probably due to a different finish on a trim piece. Okay, I'm a fanatic on windshield glare. :-)
In the northeast we often encounter floating logs that are flushed out of the marshes, which are usually at or just below the waterline due to being partially waterlogged. Also, lobster pot buoys just below the water line during a very high tide. :-)
@@DA-qe9py you didn't answer the question at all!!!! Also, WHY would you be traveling at a high rate of speed when you already know there could be obstructions in the water? The boat turns plenty sharp already. If you want to do slalom runs with a 50', 20 ton boat, then you have some major issues!
@@DA-qe9py I get that...but don't those dangers in the water sort of demand that a person slow down? :D I'd hate to think that with logs and other dangers, someone was blasting along at 20+ knots...LOL
This guy has the best job in the world.
Been watching Capt. Steve since I was 10. I’m now 23.
I've been watching Captain Steve since I was a roe. Now I'm a whale shark.
When I'm ready to buy a boat, I think I'd pay for a sit-down consultation with Capt. Steve. LOL
Lekker man lekker

Watching these reviews, I’ve come to appreciate Galeon. When I’m ready to purchase, I’ll be looking at the brand very carefully.
Getting over 1mpg (statute) at cruise is pretty impressive for this size of boat
Do you think the compromise of the IPS at speed outweighs the benefits of maneuverability at low speed?
Most definitely!!! Why would you EVER need to do sharp turns at high speeds in a big boat?
@@charlieodom9107 Agreed.

Lekker man lekker

Coming soon in a separate video!
Now...Put some Arnesons on it and see what those diesels will do!!!!
Cool
To be honest the 325 is way better looking
Bad.
