As an Axopar 37 owner in Hawaii I can attest that nothing out there makes me feel more safe than my 37 cross cabin. It is a magical ride and I have owned 8 other name brand boats. This is the best riding boat of the lot. Even my wife the admiral agrees. We love our Ax 37.
This boat is screaming and yelling: 'stabilize me'. That is not standard with this model ? What electrical package is standard ? Ah Lithium, inverter size etc ?
@@brandonadams7837 Seakeepers guzzle electricity, long spool up times, very costly maintenance, take up a lot of space and the faster you go the less effective they are. Best option is electric fins, they work while navigating, on anchor and even in port, don't take up a lot of space, don't use a lot of electricity and maintenance is easy. But for some reason boat builders still see stabilization as an option, while it basically should become standard. Most hulls need stabilizers while on anchor.
A view from the UK. Oooow!, i gotta ask, what's an "Expert Review"? Is that the Australian way of trying to 'posh' it up, elevate discourse saying someone has an opinion like the guy in the blue jacket sounding like an expectant owner, nothing like a journalist? By the way if you are not an Axopar rep, why are you conducting the interviews with 'The Press' on this sea trial? Or are you the sales department of the Australian franchise?
If you are concerned about fuel consumption on a boat of that size and price, you best to get yourself a 10ft tinnie with a 9.9hp If you can afford to buy it, you can afford to run it..
nice video. I'm new to boating and this trim stuff. This boat has automatic trim right? but is there a way to make it manual. I heard in rough seas it's better to trim down and let the boat slice through the wave. how would you travel in big waves?
Hi There, thanks for your comment. The boat does have an active trim module in the engine trim which you can activate. This is great for newcomers or those wanting one less thing to think about. While this is operating, you can still override this using the trim buttons on the throttle to change the trim of the engines/vessel. In big waves always slow down, avoid going airborne at all times, and if you need to you can trim down to push the bow down the back of a wave. Its all about finding a happy medium depending on the conditions. As you use the boat more and more you will become familiar with what feels comfortable. Happy boating! Joe
Hi Milton, thanks for your comment. Beaching the Axopar can be done just like you would a RIB or any other outboard driven vessel. Be sure to trim the engines enough to avoid damage to props or legs but maintain control in the water. Soft sand is always better that course, and if its a rocky beach with pebbles you are best not beaching it. We only beach the Axopars in soft sand for short periods of time for loading, unloading or filming short technical features like this - if antifouled, over time this may wear thin so keep time on sand to a minimum. Be sure to understand the tides when doing so, so you don't get stuck high and dry! Can be embarrassing :) Thanks, Joe Fox
