What a gem! And these smaller Antares models are adapted to a relatively wide range of uses in the UK as they are very versatile, cope with diverse weather conditions, and 'work' in a functional sense. The shaft drive diesel has been replaced by lots more power and (IMO lifespan limiting) outboards...but with benefits added as well. If 'Family Sports Cruiser' was a 'thing', this could be its icon. Excellent reviews,, Dan, both underway and walkthrough. Question: With the back door closed, it still seemed a bit loud. What did you think?
I already know that people are going to leave that rear seat back, forget about it, trim the motors up while underway and smash the heck out of it. That will be a very expensive mistake.
