    These type of boats are very popular, over nighting is a must,saving a small fortune on bed and breakfast and hotel bills and that's in the high season trying to get somewhere to stay is very difficult.

    Seems that quality is top notch on this boat. Saw one in person and the attention to detail and ergonomics is second to none. Seems like a boat that is made to last. How is handling in different speeds in comparison to other similar type boats?

  • @alpboysan
    @alpboysan 3 роки тому +1

    The problem with these a Axopar style boats are that they need an L shaped seating arrangement. These front and back facing seats aren’t comfy for lounging. Sun pads are good for sunbathing but you can’t lounge on them when chilling, you have to prop on your arm or elbow. The saxdor gto looks amazing, but again, no L seating

      I was wondering what are you going to tow it with? I will be closer to 3 tons with the engine, that's too big for 4x4's and 3.5ton vans so it will have to be a 5ton van or 7.5ton truck. Not very practical really.

    • @hugoandreae3495
