Very nice vid. Understand the style of the vid is meant to be less salemenshippy but at the end of the day It would be nice to have more interaction with the boat and its features. Like cooking and sleeping onboard. I think this boat is being positioned as a family size expedition type marine vehicle so having some dialog while riding through rough waters and providing feedback in the dialog would be great. Aluminum boats are known to sound hollow and loud, and rough on the rump. People that are interested in the boat want to see how Stabi solves these problems or mitigates them via add-ons (Maybe it's the air cushion seats or the unique stability provided by the wraparound pontoons). The North American market soaks up the Netflix style vids but we want to see solutions to rough waters (less sea sickness), ability to fish-find at high speeds to cover a lot of territory (engineered position(s) for placement of transducers). Good old top end speed is always nice to show too. Don't get me wrong, the boat looks great and of coarse your actors are stunning and I'm sure there's Oscars in their futures!
End of the day Richard if you are going to spend the sort of money this boat costs you would be a fool not to give it a good workout yourself before committing...Fiberglass boats have their advantages at sea for sure as far as hull noise and ride goes personally I own an 18 foot Surtees because Im rough as guts on a boat and require something that will take a pounding and smile about it.
Is it true that the 2550 WT hull is the same as the 2550 UC WA? The spec says not so but maybe it's a typo. The WT has a deadrise of 17 degree while the WA is 19 degrees. I'm trying to deduce which one of the two has better rough water ride (without waiting 6 months and traveling 12 hours to trial). Logic says deeper V better ride (although costs more at the pump). Also, the width and weights that are spec'd for the WT seem to project the WA as the bigger boat. The video's content seems to imply the opposite.
Very nice Whale sighting! Where was the location? This is Southern Right Whale, an endangered species, Department Of Conservation and researchers are looking for sightings.
Awesome shoot lads. Livin’ the dream. You Kiwis have it all figured out!
That we do! But all are welcome once COVID-19 is in the history books
Bloody good watch all 3 episodes.

I wonder how the greenies like the sealion doing that
As a "greenie" its great to see nature doing what nature does in an untouched and near pristine environment,
