What a wonderful boat - I've been looking for something like this and the wife and I will be most likely getting a 2020 Barracuda 7. There's nothing quite like it in the market - a boat that marries practicality with style :-)
Been looking at Antares 680 and Barracuda 7. Although the Barracuda has a smaller cockpit, and is honestly not that good looking, it still seems like a better choice. Especially with kids and that high wall around it.
We keep our boat on the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland (USA). 200hp is the max engine on this boat, but you only get a few more miles per hour top speed and you burn more fuel. The 150 seems to be the best matched engine for the boat.

That boat looks like the perfect combination of fishing and boating.
Thanks so much for the comprehensive and thorough video. Happy fishing!
Marvelous boat, I hope you guys enjoy it to the best

Cool boat!
Hi Mick, do you still own this boat? If so, are you still enjoying it, might be in market for one for next year? Nice video, thanks for posting.
Good
Beautiful boat, I was looking at the 9 last year but turned out to be quite expensive. How much would I be looking to spend for the 7 in the US?
About $75,000 USD with most options. This includes shipping from Europe.
+Michael O'Shea Thats an EXCELLENT price!
They ship to Center America, Costa Rica... And how much is the price now?
Great boat, where do you keep it? Do you trailer it? !50 hp is max? Thanks for the video

+Michael O'Shea I agree on the engine! This is a VERY rare boat to see in the USA!
What is her ideal cruising speed and how is the range?
Whom was the dealer? Thanks
The dealer at the time was Annapolis Yacht Sales (Annapolis, MD) and the dealer now of this boat in Maryland is Clark's Landing (Annapolis, MD)
It's been proven that red lights for night vision don't work-just dimmer white light is better.
