Love it. Well thought out boat. For the price point I’m still interested in a Nordkapp airborne 8.
You can see my (club) boat in the background of this video!
I've never seen a boat that screams me so much
I don't understand - this is the same price as a Porsche 911 Turbo! Think of all the tech that is in the car compared to a rib!! Agree that the Porsche does not have a toilet though! :)
New enough to boating but struggling to see why anyone would spend 150k on a boat like this? What do you do with it?
Boating.
Have you been on a RIB before?
@@richardwparis yes. But I struggle to see the differnce in eperience with a 10-20k one.
@@TrueFilterpride of ownership etc.
Why do some people drive old cars, whilst others drive the brand new version? It’s all about the depth of your pockets and the amount of your outgoings.
150k is certainly pushing the boat out so to speak, I’d argue an equal amount of fun boating could be had spending circa 50k on a rib. Recent Inflation and brexit could be responsible for 1/3rd of this boats cost.
That toilet looks claustrophobic as F!
Eat healthier and exercise, then you won't have to live in it.
I wouldnt pay for that after this guys had his shoes all over it
Good review but seems way over priced!!
In what way is this an "explorer?
In the same way a Range Rover is designed to tackle all hostile terrain across many miles of vast open spaces.
And is then used solely to mount the kerbs in Waitrose car park…. Think advertising and capability, most of it woefully under-utilised by the typical family owner.
Looks cool, but £157k??? No thanks.
Including shoe prints on the sun bed
@@chrisha4644 In fairness, I think those are optional.
