Blimey that’s a beast! Any more details about it?

Nice looking RIG
Good to see you're getting out on the water too...ENJOY!!
That Clock isn't slowing down for Anyone!
.....Slightly rich fuel wise for my "Taste" though!

That's a slick looking boat. What's the console in front of the aft most bench for?

Needs more cow bell! Sure you could not have squeezed another 400 on that engine bracket?

Interesting tubes! full round tubes forward and half round tubes aft. Are the half round tubes inflatable or foam foam/filled?

I want one!

11.7m overall. Fully loaded with all the options.
All seats on suspension, including the aft bench.
Seakeeper 2
1200L of giggle juice
Florida worthy stereo
Full head system in forward console

A blast to drive

There is a Seakeeper 2 hiding in there.
Plus room for the Yeti with the necessary refreshments.
Also the seats are bulkhead mounted to it so the deck is clear of all toe crushers

The Hybrid collar. It works really well. All the benefits where it's needed most, ie slamming into waves, and then more space aft.
These ones are all air filled. However you could have this in a Durarib which is fancy word for a donut of foam with an air bladder inside that.

That looks a very nice boat.

I'm very interested in your opinions on the Seakeeper.

Do you activate your Seakeeper only at rest? I'm assuming it's running all the time to keep it spooled it up to speed. How is it powered? What is the noise from it like?

Cheers

Smart.
Lot of Nectar / clubcard points when you fill her up - probably cover the week's shopping - that what I'd tell Mrs T

I think I should book a demo

Love it! Yes we spool it up right away, about 35 mins to full power.
We use the engine alternators, just enough of idle but prefers when at a higher RPM.
The noise is pretty minimal, you can hear it but it is will worth it. You can have it engaged during hard high speed maneuvers without issue. However it really shines in slow speed and of course at rest when it is amazing. I always feel as though I work for them when someone asks as they are remarkable, and I have to tell everyone.

Thanks for that. Anyone I've spoken to that has a gyro stabiliser has the same opinion as yourself.
