cross cabin for sure. weather is never perfect. if it's too hot, gets hot, gets cold, gets rainy or just changes, you'll love that you have that cabin.

Nice job Hugo and Jack. A great boat for a superyacht tender (yes.. cabin version please, nice try at the sell Hugo but I think you got the short straw!)...or perhaps a day reef/paragliding/thrill ride etc charter boat, but not suited for much else I think.. Having said that it is great that there is so much on offer these days that you can match your needs/budget to many available options.

When I get to the Needles it is usually left hand down and Omonville, 60 nautical miles and 12 hours, for a nice dinner and an overnight. With one of those I could do lunch and be back in Blighty in time for the six o'clock news. I hate to think of the fuel burn though? Good fun and good video.

@@alangebbie8848 Axopar is a great boat for those whose needs it fits. It doesnt fit your needs, not the fault of the boat itself. I wouldnt get one for family commuting, fishing or party boat, sure. But for all weather fast safe commuting (almost year around useability for the XC), thats still plenty of fun its almost unbeatable. Its more of a passionists boat than some sunday cruiser who drives his boat 4 times a summer, weather permitting.

Definitely cross cabin. No doubts, but I'd specify a couple of extras in the build. I'd lift the headroom in the aft cabin and for me, a well designed galley is a must have. I believe there's a 45 footer coming this year. Perhaps that would be worth waiting for. But, I do like the 37 foot boat very much

@@casevans7431 : laughing loudly is an outstanding way to lose not only business, but goodwill too. I've been in business for many years, I'm very aware of the value of every bit of goodwill. I've also owned many boats, most with some of my own specs built-in. No-one has ever laughed.

As "the same hull", is there anything stopping you putting twin 450s on a 37, and avoiding paying inflated prices for 'exclusivity', carbon fibre, and brabus branding? Do they modify the hull/mountings etc for the extra 100hp rating between this and the standard axopar?

@michiganengineer8621 2 года назад

I think I read that they reinforce the transom for the Brabus hulls, although that is the only functional difference I'm aware of.
