4:27 - small correction: the ST is actually a much older design from ca 2013-2014 and even the hull is completely different. Having owned a 2018 Flipper 800DC I have to say that everything they changed to the 900DC gets my vote - the windshield rake is higher that you can see outside better, the heads compartment is lovely as well and the midship bunk. This is on our shortlist to be our new boat. It is built well it is has everything for a family of 2-4. Also it looks a lot more modern than the Finnmaster T9.
Wow that is seriously fast, it looks fantastic and is well laid out, yes it could do with better head room below deck but it's not a real issue for a day / weekend. Great tour as always Jack thank you.
Very nice and great value for around £190k. I would like to see the ST enclosed version tho as in Britain this model wouldn’t get much enjoyment with the weather sadly.
Great review Jack, thanks. Really impressive performance and deck space, although the head room below decks would be a deal breaker for me in such a competitive market.
Drone shots my arse, Alex is obviously Superman with a go pro 😜, damn that drone shifts, awesome video 👏👏👏❤️🇬🇧. What a lovely boat, awesome for weekends away. 👍❤️🇬🇧
Great boat. Aquaholic (NIck Burnham) sort of ruined the engines for me when he pointed out that they not only spell 300, but if you turn your head, they also spell MOO. Now I can't unsee the MOO engines. Also a common bug-a-boo of mine: some of the B-Roll is just played backwards and you can see it. The overhead shot - the motor wash is going backwards. I see that all the time on all sorts of channels. Why is that done so much. Since I'm 6'6" I'm not buying that boat, but I'll ride on your's. Cheers.
Great review. Finally someone who not only goes through the things they see without commenting on them (yes, I can see there is a clear over there!), and pointing out the negatives…
I love this style of boat. Funny how one's early boating years influences style preference today. Its like a scaled up Fletcher. Lovely job & first class video production as always. I love that you get access to sea trial your boats .... Phil 🇬🇧
Cool boat, gave it a good look in Düsseldorf in January, but doesn't really justify the significant premium over the Yamarin DC 88. That optioned/aftermarket hardtop is a crime against good taste - what's wrong with the built-in flip-up one?
Hi Robert, Flipper has confirmed that you can't fully enclose this version of the boat, however there is a full camper cover for the open version of the boat and the ST model has a hard top, which you can enclose the aft end of with covers - Jack
Thanks Jack. I can’t get away from the Nordkapp gran coupe at the moment. Canopies, harbour covers with the wet english summer we’ve had are not enticing me.
As mentioned before, the Flipper 900 joins the F//33 and the Cranchi E26 for the best looking small(ish) open boats. Unfortunately the T top takes away a lot from the gorgeous looks. Difficult decision between the practicality of the T top and the beauty of the open version.
Floridians (and Americans in general) don't really buy boats with a proper cabin for overnighting, you lot want seating in the bow and not having to climb up steps and through the windscreen. Look into a Flyer 8.8 Spacedeck.
All that under 200K? That can't be right. Surely they will cost more. I bet if MarineMax carries them that will be over 300k easy. Just like with Axopar. Those like the 28' were supposed to be under 100k and then they get on the market and are selling for 2 or 3 times that amount for basic versions. Granted 200k isn't cheap, it's the price of a nice 2 bedroom house where I live, but the cost comparatively to the features you get seem ok in that it's a basic day boat with nothing really special going on.
I love this dude and the channel. such great reviews so refined. A total gangster we would 100% bring him into the family - not italian the Irish mobsters 😇🤪👌👍👍👍
