What I really like ?

I really like this boat, while finish and details are for from perfect, the overall impression is excellent.

• For a less than 6M boat is it very good at sea and this even with 1.5m waves. Me and more importantly my wife, always feel safe, nevertheless you should be prepare to be completely wait when cruising by force 4 wind and 1m wave.
• I have a 115HP Yamaha engine and I can easily overpass 30 nots. The boat will cruise flat up to 7 nots, but start really cruising from 15 nots. You can cruise for hours at 25nots but in order to go faster you have to push the engine and it starts to be noisy, the 150 liters tank is enough to cruise for hours.
• Room space, for this size of boat we cannot complain. I would nevertheless rather have a fall over console than a side door that limit accessibility. The back booth is huge and provides a very acceptable accessibility, the two front storages are big enough for your daily food, beach towels, ...
• Equipment, more than I dreamed ! Electric anchor winder, I never though this would be useful, but I love it. Not only it allows you to leave a position alone but it avoid crisis with your wife when having to quit a beach under tough conditions. Fresh water, is great when making ski and/or diving. Sun Bimini is very comfortable for day beach trip but not strong enough for long cruise with 1m waves.
• Fishing, central console should be mandatory for fishermans, it allow up to 4 persons to move around the boat very comfortably, a fish lifewell will even keep your fish alive (if ever you catch one).
• Driving position, I changed the two independent seats for a stainless steel bolster type bench. My wife liked better the independent seats but not me !!! Cruising position is good, you have enough space to move and protection is acceptable, now pilot should not expect to use the origin seat outside may be for people cruising on a lake.
• Price !!! for 30000Euro with trailer and completely equipped it was for me 3000/5000Euro cheaper than competition.

Generally I like the architecture of this boat, it is nice comfortable and safe. A++ to the architect, outside of minor details I cannot complain on the design.
