I would like to see build quality going on inside the factory I would like to see how the boat is laid up and is made along with the product used in the whole design of the boat
Looks like a nice mid-sized cat suitable for either fishing or COASTAL cruising. The first things that _I_ would like to customize: Water-jet propulsion, preferably with _Cummins_ 400-500hp engines (finding a Volvo tech in my area is almost IMPOSSIBLE!) A reverse rake on the windscreen Reverse cycle for heat with the AirCon units "Walk on" solar panels on the roof to help keep the batteries charged (and replace the Lithium batteries with LiFePo4 batteries!) For the rod holders along the transom and gunnels, replace them ALL with combination cup/rod holders (Gemlux has several) Replace the vertical axis anchor windlass with a horizontal one, a much reduced chance of binding up.
Would like to have seen more of the on the water performance. This pitches against the 🇬🇧 46' Al exlorer cat...but thats pitched into the Blue water crossing market. An optional shared helm bench might be welcome. Build the hull from Basalt fiber and it would be tougher quieter, stronger and more damage resistant including to high temps and UV plus 50 % + greener to produce.
I would've had more in depth area reviewed such as the engine room power and figurations along with views of the engine room on how you work on it and get to those areas. Also is there air conditioning in those Forward cabins. Fuel capacity would be nice and whether it runs on diesel or gasoline. Lot of missed opportunities in this video to showcase your boat.
I would like to have outside walkways closed up to knees for dog friendly safety! Wheel outside,so when you're fishing and need to move the boat , there's no need to go in! Nice boat! ✌️
Would be nice to set the cooking and sink back and bring some seats up around the driver area . Other than that I like it it’s just not usable comfortably as there wouldn’t be a pilot or captain .
Beautiful vessel, honestly prefer the outboard engines even if you loose deck space, now in a low reef would definitely make the difference, just wondering the price for both units, inboard and outboard.
The rooftop ac will become a nightmare 😢rvs and semis with rooftop ac that get driven have issues with the roof gasket leaking and the plastic cover rubbing through the cooling tubes
Marine air conditioning is also a nightmare with circulating water see water running through the units it's a constant nightmare the Roof Air is a plus because you can take them off and put a new one on in 20 minutes and not have to worry about cleaning strainers I'm actually a fan of that type of system. However I did not see how they are getting air-conditioning into those forward cabins
''Conveniently' take a drink everything he says it....and you're dead. So theoretically, this could be hauled on a superyacht if it had a big crane.. why didn't we see the second cabin?
Hi, Thank you for your comment! Both cabins on the boat are identical, so there isn’t much difference between them. That’s why we didn’t showcase the second cabin.
Craig, great job on the walk-around... However, it's abhorrent. So many impractical inclusions it's verging on hilarity..... Whom ever designed this needs to strongly consider a new vocation.
She's a Beauty definitely on the consider list
Great Job Craig... And Congratulations for the new Design
Thankyou
Wow really set up nice.. Wish I could afford one.

There is a bed very convenient for laying down👍
LOL...I heard that also. I also liked that we picked up another 1000BTU in air-con when moving from the roof top to the interior! 😂

There a new model called a 46WA, coming very soon with exactly that.. So keep an eye out for more videos from Craig the Captain and SilverCAT
The AC unit is 11,000 BTU above deck and then upgrades to 12,000 BTU when you enter the saloon?
they offer 15,000 btu units also

Available with Quad 400hp outboard engines.

@@silvercatboatsDid they give you cruise and top end numbers on the quads?

this video review .. love it.. but it would more better if it has segmens.. just my thoghts

Super 👌👌
what the DUCE, why is the toilet basically in a pit ? imagine a kid having to use that
Craig, great job on the walk-around... However, it's abhorrent. So many impractical inclusions it's verging on hilarity..... Whom ever designed this needs to strongly consider a new vocation.
I agree no guest area while ur driving and no one can sit up on the bed. .
😮 crawl over beds
no thanks 🖖🏽
What's up with your hair?
Man I like his hair! I’m bald I wish I had hair 😂🤣
Hey... it was windy that day 😂... and a bit sweaty
Dont worry i will have a better hair style for the next video...
Poor design for the sea but would make an OK lake boat I guess
The boat is available CE category B
Very bad laid out boat I’m sure that’s optional
Disaster
I agree not set up good at all 1 wet head down the hole for 2nd head and no davit for a dinghy
You can either add a davit or customize the setup to fit your needs.
