I think this is a great family sport cruiser for those in this market. Very nice handling boat for those who understand how to properly operate it from what you showed us Dan. Happy New Year to you as well!
How would you compare this (or the 45 foot) to the Marex 440? Marex bit more $, but I think smarter and slightly better design/build (the pull out plastic is cool, insofar as any plastic is), for example.
Depends on the mission, location and end goal for re-sale. A comparable Riv would be a higher capital investment so while it’s better built if you were not in Australia, NZ or USA the resale might suffer because the market may prefer the Beneteau. Also a lot of difference between the way they drive so it’s not possible to give one answer without knowing a lot more info
All these 40ish foot sport cruisers are fun to drive and enjoyable for a smaller crew to enjoy a day on the water.
Always enjoy the test drive with Pro Tips. Thank you!
Oh great! I hope I was making sense
Great value in this one, very practical and good looking as well! Thanx Dan!🎉

Yes you can get a lot out of this drive system in close quarters provided you have some practice. Thankyou and same to you 🎉
Really liked this video - thanks Dan
Great work mate 👍
Great video. In the market for the GT 45 in Europe. Looking for a test drive video on that model.

Engine room?
Yes, we need to see the engine room, always!💪
Yep I already showed it in the walkthrough video posted on Friday
In the first video I posted on Friday
@@BoatLife_DansBoatLife NICE 👍 Watching the video now!
would you buy one of these over a used Riviera?
