But enough about Hugo... 😉

@@MotorBoatYachting 😂😂😂

Thank you kindly good man

@@hugoandreae3785 you're very welcome sir.

Hmm, good question. This was actually a stock boat when I filmed so there’s a small chance it might still be available but if not I suspect there will be quite a wait.

Not even close, he's spot on. Had a good long test in one in the fall in virtually perfect conditions, and it was 34.8 with a good amount of fuel and five people. With less fuel and only two, I'd say it's good for 35-35.5. Best I've ever seen in my friends boat with the 340's are 33.7 nearly empty. The 340 hp setup runs about 32 on average.

8:58 👍

Yes, and it passes the floss test with flying colors!

Value and perception of quality are two very different things! Think Dacia vs Mercedes… yes the Dacia might have better value but probably the Mercedes is the best of the two

Hi Ron, we always try and put as much information in the description as we can. This engines are twin 330hp Volvo D6s, and the top speed is 38 knots. We haven't done a test-drive on this latest model, but we'd expect a cruising range of more than 200nm at 25 knots.

Good range

Wring not okd

Stay tuned, more reviews from BoatLife Live are coming soon

@@MotorBoatYachting My point was that you were inferring that the other boats at the show weren't up to much by stressing that the V40 was "...more desirable..."

Trust me currently owning an 11 year old powered vessel there is a lot of upgrading and occasional faults that pop up. My car choices run to 18 months old and let the previous owner take the VAT hit etc. the same works for motorbikes. So be very careful when you refer to this as a “tiny little boat”. I went over this exact boat at this show. Tiny it is not. Your wallet may be large, but if you buy £600k’s worth of Fairline Squadron 58 that’s 15 years old you will be pouring money into it through Setag and other upgrade specialists. My fault finding on this very well put together vessel was that the helm was cramped and with that sunroof closed it was impossible to get comfortable for a 6’3” individual. And on a personal preference helming with your head poking out of a sunroof just makes you look cheap. The rest was well thought out and don’t forget once you push past 45’ you are going to hard pressed to rock up at a marina without pre booking. And honestly, how many beds do you need? While you’re stressing over berthing the other 8 family members (or hangers on) are genuinely not caring about you because you’re just the taxi driver….. Let us know what your most recent hamster wheel purchase was, we’d be intrigued.

I would be one of those new boat buyers. Yes I understand new or old boats will have issues no way around that. I would just rather know that all the issues are what I or the manufacturer put there lol and that for the first year or so I have a manufacturer to help sort out the issues that were not of my doing. I don't honestly think there is a wrong way to go about getting a boat you like so to each their own I say.

@@TheIdontcarewhat of course it must be a great feeling to have a brand new boat and I can appreciate the appeal. I just prefer classic vehicles of any kind if i'm honest and actually like the style and patina of vintage originality( as long as previous owners have done meticulous maintenance ) I also like to buy rarer examples that nearly always appreciate in value over my ownership . For instance an early 2000's mint condition Guy Couach 2200 fly is around 350K or less at the moment . A far better experience all round I Ithink and for half the price

@@justinlinnane8043 you’re a braver man than me Gunga Din if you buy one of those. I just had to Google it, it’s a monster and the upkeep would be exorbitant! But….. you could swing your Hymer on a set of davits from the stern and have your very own super yacht 🤣👍🏻👍🏻

​@@justinlinnane8043 you fundamentally misunderstand how to view these purchases, you do NOT pay the boat cost, that's a fallacy. Ultimately you pay the DEPRECIATION + COSTS. On a new boat those costs are for running the ship: fuel and berthing, insurance, etc., on older vessels those running costs are the same PLUS maintenance PLUS upgrades. The final "real life" cost of having owned a new boat isn't as dramatically different as the headline figure, you MUST include upgrades and fixes - things you don't worry about on a new boat.

Agree, there was absolutely no inspection of the helm station. We did see the extra foot rest though. Also when he as in the master stateroom he referred to the headboard as a bed head 🤣🤣🤣. This guy rushes through every video he does. Hopefully Nick gives a review of this one.
