[ENG] AZIMUT 55S - Motor Yacht Review - The Boat Show 

Pro trick: you can watch series at InstaFlixxer. Been using it for watching all kinds of movies these days.

@Tristen Brayan definitely, been using instaflixxer for since november myself :D

AccuSEO ok. I will tell my captain

Husein Maturbongs Ocha acho457 wow

AmazePlays it’s not supposed to be a lifeboat, just a tender. If you sink you just have to swim I guess. But these aren’t meant for going super far offshore anyway.

So how are your payments? Interest rate? How many yrs

Pershing is a much more exclusive vessel and way more exspensive! Azimut are not what they used to be! So yes the pershing is a much greater machine!! Happy sailing 🛥⚓

Don't have much option either way on these larger boats and a regular prop shaft is almost as bad. If you're worried about hitting anything, you're in too shallow water to begin with, I would think, because either way weather you have prop shafts or these pods, it's almost the same distance that they hang down below the hull.

GoMiGman I was thinking about semi-submerged objects, like a log or something. Regular shafts do offer some protection via the shaft itself but not much I know. Those Zeus pods look like a better option I think:-)

ianrkav I see what you mean. You know, that was the big debate (exactly what you said) between proponents of the Mercury Zeus pods and the Volvo Penta IPS pods when they first came out because the Volvo one where "Front-facing" props while the Zeus ones were like standard stern drive props and they were rear facing, so they had the pod pointed in front of them to offer some protection from hitting certain items here or there similar to a sterns drive prop or an outboard prop blade. But the VP ones has the props facing the front, they are the first thing followed by the pod (which was behind them and offered 0 protection) and when everyone first saw that 10 years ago they said no way that the VP one would fail miserably because of that issue. Interestingly enough, I would think that the VP, today, has a slighter edge over Merc Zeus which is quite fascinating. Apparently forward facing shaft was never a problem.

Good point, but the 3rd engine is for a very good reason actually and Azimut did that on this boat and will probably do it on more from here on is because you don't lose any performance value, but you lose on engine size which becomes a HUGE benefit in cabin space. The figure released was a little over 3 feet of additional space in the cabin which as all boaters know, another 3ft is a huge amount of space. Only drawback is there's an additional engine and pod drive to be concerned with.

+Jose Díaz I believe it's about 1.6 Million.

Aw crap, wish I was the 1%

+Jose Díaz I think everyone here xD

i know nothing about boats but it seems pretty cheap for a boat like that

Jacosz Nah bro. You can find similar boats for a lot less. Azimut is an upscale manufacturer (pretty much the Rolls Royce of boat manufacturers). That's why it's so expensive.

Second hand around 700k to 1M
