£170k Finnish flyer raises the bar | Saxdor 320 GTO test drive review | Motor Boat & Yachting 

Legends say he's still saying "funky"

That's it! They did it, perfect! Sports boat of the year for sure! Just need to put the shower head up from the floor so owners can shower properly.

they build these boats in my city in Ełk, of course in Poland, in the region called Masuria. This is the area of ​​the so-called thousand lakes. Recently, the European water scooter championships were held in Ełk, so the company presented its top model and it was possible to sail through it. It looks really good live. Of course, it was a model with two Mercury engines, 300 horses each 😁.

I know nothing about boats, but the way this guy introduced us to the boat and then put it through its paces was great!

I like this style of day boat, fast, practible, affordable, can be stored in a rack, toilet, outboard engines, and the party trick is the fold down sides, seats 9 people, great video.

Just did a sea trial on one in Fort Lauderdale. My general impression is quite good. She is fast. She rides smoothly. She comes with joystick control and I love the fold down sides. Another plus is the cabin. While I wouldn't want to spend more than a night sleeping there, its not bad for a place to get out of bad weather or to spend a night. A few downsides (or items I hope they address) are: The seats are still a bit funky to adjust (could be a bit easier). The hard top does flex a bit at higher speeds but they say they are adding two additional stanchions that will connect to the windscreen to reduce the flexing. Next, I noticed, in turns, there was water ingress toward the aft end of the fold down platforms. This was caused by water hitting the rubrails. Not a big deal as it quickly drained once you came out of the turn. The color is wrapped and not painted. For the price point I can see why they did this. I just don't know the long term viability of vinyl wrapping on boats. Next is the anchor locker. It is VERY deep. I wished they had some sort of hanger for the anchor. Otherwise you may have to reach pretty far down to get it. This is an easy fix though. The last little nit I had was the side glass. I originally thought it was actual glass but if it is, indeed, Perspex (Plexiglass) then you will eventually have to deal with scratches and yellowing. All-in-all, though, it was a great boat for the price. You will not find anything out there on the market that had that many features and good looks for the price. The boat I was on came in at $301K. That price is all-in including tax, delivery etc.. It should be on your short list if you are in the market for boat of this size.

Hi Hugo. That Saxdor beats axopar hands down. Better looking, adaptable multi functional deck layout. Interior space is comfortable and useable. A cracking boat with wings, reasonably priced. Buy it Hugo. Great walkthrough tour and test drive. Thanks 😊

Absolutely love this one, a great contender for first boat......yes, think there could be a bit of tweaking with the seats and lock into and out of positions - definitely looking at this one, great vlog, thank you.

That was a cool vid, I'd be happy with one of these boats 🇬🇧❤️👍

Absolutely fabulous! I have definitely found my next boat. I can imagine that the waiting list for delivery may be a little longer after that review!

Lovely boat , but needs an L shape seating arrangement. It’s so dorky to sit opposite someone when chilling . sun pads need an elbow or arm to prop yourself when enjoying a beer, so that’s no good either. The corner of an L with your arm on the backrest is best , leg on the seat, beer in the other hand- that’s what you want. You can’t do that on this boat. You just have to sit forwards or backwards like a nerd. Apart from that it’s beautiful

Only Neville would be asleep, sitting upright on the back of a boat at 38 knots.....WHAT A GUY!!!

She's a beast. Cant believe how easy she zips along at 50 knots. Insane. Want one.. *sigh*

What a awesome boat, looks really smart and a great price, I want one.

I liked it so much I watched it again !

Great video. Looking forward to recieve mine within a week..:)

If Audi made an RS6 Avant boat, this would be it.

absolutely amazing review! as well as a beautiful boat. One suggestion would be, in future videos could you review docking maneuverability? engine sensitivity and bow thrusters when docking can be a deal breaker on some boats! again amazing channel!

Not usually my type of boat however I really like this boat and it's fantastic value for money. Very good, a real consideration.

Luvs this GTO boat...Great design.Can't imagine if its dark Gunsmoke color with black seat with red stitches.

Quality of the boat is 6/10

Fabulous boat! Well priced for do many cool features and great design!

Love to see a review with the single engine.

Lekker man, lekker!! More seriously, probably the GTC (full upper cabin) over the GTO in northern Europe.

You keep using the word "Funky," but to paraphrase Inigo Montoya from The Princess Bride, I do not think this word means what you think it means.

Beautiful boat, fantastic price. Head compartment could use some upgrading but other than that…. Sold! 😎

Very funky indeed

Amazing Boat! Curious to see a comparison between Axopar 37 T-top(or Cabin) and Saxdor 320 GTO( or soon the 320 GTC)

Looks like a fun boat but not for a nearly 70 year old sailor. Where would I put my spinnaker pole? Enjoyed the video though, thanks.

Funky is the word of the day?

I really like the saxdors. I’m not a boater though, so my opinion must be taken with a grain of salt. Not for the thrill ride, but for the comfort. My desire leads me to boating in comfort for distance. I believe the 428L tank allows for 180KMs, oh how i wish electric motors, solar panels and batteries were advanced.

Looks very good value for such a fun boat.

Want one, outstanding, if they could somehow raise the back so you could sleep 4 that would make it an outstanding weekender for families

Is there a better boat for the money? I would like to see one if there is. What are waiting times for these?

170k ....a bit much for "funky" and "flymsy"!

I want one

Bro i wasn't paying attention and I heard SEXDOLL

This was a really refreshing boat!

Thanks for coming up to North Wales! Great boat......quite....funky !

If he says funky one more time!!!

Can you comment on the head ceiling height? looked like you'd have to be really short to stand upright in it?

Not that into boats but that is cool. Not overly big.

Wow, get much for money here , well done. I should begin save now :)

Funky

looks perfect,What a awesome boat

It’s brilliant.

Please stop saying "funky" every second :)

My dream boat

This is a beauty.. wishing

With the features shown here the total cost comes up to 265,000 Euros. The base £170k package doesn't even give you u toilet shower.

Harri Rovanperä?!

How do you turn off exhaust noise? Is the sport exhaust faked?

Seems like everyone is copying Axopar hull shape

It's really powerful boat & it can turn easily like you're driving a sports car

Lovely boat - optioned up it’s a bit pricey but very innovative design…..53 knots…oh Lordy…a problem though is wrt British weather - you’re not going to be able to really use much of the outside space when it’s cold and raining….we learnt this with our Sealine sports boat…..and camping covers are a broken nails faff…..I look forward to the review of the cabin version! Great video Hugo!

Not only the boat, but also the presentation were great

Very good price for a nice 10m boat,but the competition is huge in this segment from the Italians and Hollanders...for only 50k more, you have a Brabus 500... so I am not impressed, but thanks for the video...

Too heavy. Lose the hydraulic decking and adjustable everything, calculate and trim weight everywhere. That boat should be touching 60 knots under ideal conditions and cruise at sub 2L/Nm at 35 knots. If you think it feels heavy now imagine how heavy it will feel once you have 8 people, bathing gear, stocked wet bar and full fuel. You'll be lucky to get 45 knots out of it once everything is onboard.

Lose the `funky` mate .... sounds weird.

190 litres per hour being burned! Blimey.. that's going to be £300-£350 cost per hour at a fast speed, right?!

Hugo was really enjoying himself! Would have liked an aerial shot of the high speed aggressive turns.

Can just see you falling in love with this boat😂 but yeah. It’s pretty awesome. I’d love one set up for spare fishing. Be spending the weekend out there on this thing

Is that price actually including or excluding VAT?

Love these reviews. I have one gripe: the word “funky” should be used only when describing music. Maybe just me:)) great boat and fab review though:)

Absolutely love this boat. I am considering exchanging for one but earliest delivery late 2023. I saw this one in Pwllheli and couldn’t help feeling a little disappointed. Great review from all the Marine jurno’s but I was disappointed with the finish. I think great value says it all. It’s a great boat, great looks, great performance but it does feel and look ‘value’ on closer inspection. The finishings aren’t great, sealant looked sloppy in places and the doors, latches and switches all feel really cheap. Some of the metal work had already started to oxidise in places. I also hopped on a GTC and that was similar. The seal on the cabin had failed and the floor was flooded with rain water. If you look inside the anchor locker the fibreglass also looked sloppy with large parts of the resin chipped or flaking. Still love the boat and would honestly still consider buying but felt a little deflated after seeing some of the lack of care. Still a lot of boat for the money, but it’s still a lot of money to part with.

A great boat. Practical and as much as most of us would ever need.. much better than spending similar money on something that tries to be more than it is, and just becomes cramped, fussy, unreliable, etc. No.. here is a much better way to spend this kind of money. Well done to all involved! Oh, and let me add: it IS funky!!

Love it!

This is a good review👍, not like the others where they just speak about obvious and not mentioning the relation between the rpm-speed-fuel flow

I've built the first 32 out of the US on the eastern shore I've built the decks and infused some small parts for this boat myself first ever

Lovely. I've seen this over in Pwllheli. Can't wait to try one out.

Definitely need the super funky edition.

way too much "funky", watched the video on silent after 3 mins.

👍

Can someone cattle prod this geezer every time he says "funky"?

Another thing the factory could do is put outside windows,even with the side cabin windows so you could see out over the water on each side . That is a lovely boat! If they need someone to demo one around the lake I live on , I’m your guy! lol 😂

Very Nice review

He needs to find another word besides "funky". Nice boat though.

Does it include a screen door built into the hull? One would think that for a quarter mill you would not need to worry about sinking.

How many times can one man say "funky"

Funky funky funky

I would love to know how they make the mountain disappear so reliably

Great video! Give the drone guy a good 360 camera though so he can choose best angles in editing.

Neville looks like the last guy you want to bump into a dive bar in east swansea.

Today I learnt a new word. Funky. I used it over and over again.

300 euro an hour in consumption... yeah you need to make a lot of money :D

Is it possible that such a large ship does not have a shower cabin?

Would be fun to see how it would run with the new v12 600 hp duoprop with a singel instalation.

Yeah, well, with Saxdor you have to look into the actual situation carefully before making judgments...the small model was severely lacking in passenger capacity (a boat for only three is severely limited), and the price is for a seriously bare bones thing with 'options' not being cheap and a boat you'd want to buy is actually a very different price than advertised. And as for a 'new and exciting brand' it's just the same guy designing who was at XO and Axopar and once again the Polish build it.

it ia an anagram of axopar :) everythings is not stable.

Where are the crew quarters?

I feel like Hugo definitely had Flock of Seagulls hair in the 80's.

The Dacia of boats.Everything looks really flimsy,,,

Bathing ladder is missing on the side platforms

Here's a review of a boat but not The boat.

Unfortunately it’s only ISO Cat. C 😪

How would this compare to a big RIB for sea handling? Viable alternative - not taking price into account?

How does this compare to the shadow 900 brabus ?

Whet bar??🤣

reminds me of the Axopar 37……

review of boat that is a one off,,,, interesting but not
