I think with 8 onboard, a 'heads' on a 35' boat is a necessity rather than luxury ... 🇬🇧
front left , inside head is possible.
The owner of this boat uses it as a fast commuter , he specifically didnt want a heads fitted hence not one on this particular boat.
Maybe if you are a kid, real men holds 🙂
@@andersh6227 Ahh ... I guess in 'your little world' a woman isn't allowed to board or own a boat like this ? ... 🇬🇧
@@doverivermedia3937 Relax, calm your titties, remove the stick 🙂
That looks like a huge amount of fun!! Bizarre lack of drama at 45+ knots, which is a serious compliment to the hull and design. Only your reactions give it away Hugo! Great review.
Yes it’s fun ! It’s a very sharp hull, runs very stable at high speeds with minimum drag and in the rough the central trim tab is genius to assist the side trim tabs and help put bow pressure down. . The designer Hakan really knows his stuff. The smaller C8 and X8 are equally as impressive sea boats given their size.
There I was drifting along one sunny flat calm afternoon on the Solent. My sails flat, my eyes drooping. Ready for a snooze and let the crew keep an eye out and my glass topped up. Out of the blue, some axxxxxe comes past at 60 knots. Loved the video actually, it is good to see other types of craft 😊😊😊😊😊😊.
Sail boat ⚓ 🤣
I think Hugo unleashed his inner Jeremy clarkson "POWER!!!!" What a weapon...
Viggo is my new front runner for next boat. Love the design philosophy.
they make only 4 a year, so the waiting list will be long 😭😱
You can get delivery of a C8 or X8 usually within around 6 months and approx 12 months for a C10. This is actually pretty quick for such a shipyard.
Fantastic boat 🙌🏾 i look forward to seeing what else they do
Wow what a beast and the helm looked really comfortable, definitely going on my lottery list. 👍❤️🇬🇧
Edit: I've always had a soft spot for the rodman 55 since MBY tested one and for me this fits in the same category, fast, fun, rugged and purposeful. 👍
Cool, serious, fast, really lovely boat!
What a beautiful boat ! Love it 😮 😊
Thank you for sharing. Great looking boat, with lots of interesting touches. Aluminum is required for the rocky shores of Minnesota's rivers and 10,000 lakes. We're accustomed to Wooldridge, Duckworth, and Kingfisher utilitarian boats, having sink, stove/heater, head, and a couple of berths
Great review as always thanks I enjoy these!
Glad you enjoyed it, I certainly enjoyed making it!
Amazing video and awesome boat
Exactly what I need in SE Alaska!
That is one brilliant helm station! Definitely designed by a real Driver.
Great content and presentation. 🇦🇺 😊
I see a lot of coments here about useless.
In Sweden we have a huge archipelago, people have their holiday homes way out, and some even live like that permanently.
You have to get home and away every day all year around in our Swedish climate regardless of weather. Think about it as a car for the water.
For this Viggo boats is outstanding, there is just one other brand that can compare, Vector Pro Boats.
They are very much for private use If you have the money.
Just like a Bentley Bentayga or a Range Rover, they ain’t for everyone either but quite nice if you can afforde one.
But yes, the police and other professionals use them to.
Ever heard of Targa? Or Axopar?
Axopar will get you from A to B, Targa will do the same in ln all weathers and accommodation . A Viggo will go from A to Z in all weathers faster!
@@charley9986 You cant go 60 knots in rough seas. Even 20 knots is pushing it. Trust me, when mother nature shows up, and youre in a planing hull at sea, you are in trouble. Doesnt matter whether its a Targa or a Viggo, youre moving at displacement speeds. And planing hulls are never good at displacement speeds.
So if you want an actual all weather boat, get a full displacement hull boat. There are many stories of boat owners who have had both planing hulls and full displacement hulls who compared their actual time took for any given leg, and the full displacement hulls more than make it up by being able to go out and make distance in seas that planing hulls will spend at anchor or moored up.
@@rykehuss3435Axopar building quality is pure shit!
@@rykehuss343560 in rough sea is not a problem, just let the wife drive and stay on land 😂
Great boat for it's intended purpose. i love having the ability to go 80mph, but only with supercharged jet skis at present. It WILL be mine!
That looks like a lot of fun,I couldn't see going that fast in our waters ,we have trees floating all over,some sink at one end and the top can be just under the surface. We call them dead heads
Fabulous.
Thanks Hugo. I'd be happy to do it for free when I retire next year!
Love
Definitely a fun boat for the rich. Personally I would like a bit more comfort. Great tour and sea trial though Hugo thank you.
Thanks Sean
Looks like I'm getting one❤🎉need to hit the lotto first😂
I would love to have this boat my only thing is I would extend the back a little bit more so I can have a fishing platform and have more room outside that beautiful cabin
A cuddy version with a v-berth and a head would be a hoot!
I don't comment much, but I read these comments and it seems like most people don't even listen to the review.
How many times are commenters going to say, "It doesn't even have a head!"
Hugo (as well as an actual owner in the comments below) said, "If you want a head you can get one. This particular owner didn't want one."
These are bespoke custom boats. You can configure them exactly how you want. For a custom builder the only limitations are physics and imagination. I bet they could even stretch the hull for you. If you have to ask about prices for customization options unfortunately you probably can't afford this boat in the first place.
Viggo craftsmanship looks to be top notch with beautiful welds and built like a tank.
In the insane custom boating realm the asking price IMO is fair and competitive. I thought Hugo was going to say the base was 600k. Highly skilled builders are not easy to find, inexpensive, or easy to retain.
If you want to save a bunch of money buy a production boat that fits most of your needs and is easier on the checkbook. This boat isn't designed for someone on any sort of budget. If you don't like the designed purpose and/or hull find another custom builder.
👍 To Viggo building unique niche market vessel that I got to enjoy vicariously in this video.
Rant over😂
Nice fishing boat
Wow 👌
The bow thruster catches water as a hull bounces through its plane. I suspect you are feeling some braking/slowing as a result.
You dont. On calm water , when planing , that part of the hull is above the water, on rough days there is a small lip in front of the tunnel but any deflection is negligible .
70 plus mph wow!
Is that good fuel consumption? Great advertisement for how yachts will always hold the around the world speed record.
Anyone know what one of those suspension seats costs?
The fuel consumption in Liters/hr. You had said 25 kts @45 liters/hr. Is that total combined per per engine? Also, in the beginning of the video, that manual bilge pump access panel was totally blocked by the aft anchor line. That was surprising to see. You would have to release tension to the anchor, in order to get that panel open....
At 28 knots she does 2.8 ltr per nautical mile, total (twin 450R’s) ie 1.4 each engine. The hatch behind the anchor rope is the location for the water fuel separator so shouldn’t really need access apart from service intervals and high tension can be easily released off the stern anchor windlass for this. You can still actually get your hand in to drain the filter quickly if necessary. On newer boats they’ve moved the roller forward to eliminate the issue. I think was C10 hull number 4. The manual bilge is to the right (aft) of this flap. There are auto bilges within the hull compartments and switches to operate these manually too at the helm. Well spotted though !
How well is that hatch leading to the bow designed to travel at high speeds when open ?
Only suitable for around 9 knots, it should be closed over that speed.
So what happens if you open the front door doing 60?
Its a proper boat no a floating hotel room
May get one
I own one. It’s awesome. A lot of people dont ‘get’ it but there are plenty of other boats out there for their needs.
Not sure I’d get my wife to come onboard !
Is someone going to use one of these to open a passenger ferry service across the Island?
🔥👍
Das Boot ist doch eher was für Lotsen oder n Zoll. Für Privatgebrauch eher weniger geeignet. Aber das Ding geht gut.
Good point, as a rescue/police boat it prob has a purpose.
Actually up in the North that's great for many of the private boat uses...
CB90 hold my beer.
Seems like the equivalent of a car for people living in coastal regions. A effective transportation device for everyday use. Visiting neighbours, going to work, do shopping. In that comparisson, it's not kitted out as an RV, because that's not what it is.
Precisely.
@@sib610That is to say......pricey.
Can you open the front door while under way?
Only up to 9 knots. Rear door yes.
I would be in the market if I can get it with 4 600’s
Looks like a really nice boat but for where we live it's too hot. You wouldn't be able to touch anything or sit anywhere without getting burned with everything being aluminum. This is more suited for colder areas.
I’m a 72 yr old man and I need heads with all the water around me !
Imagine trying to “bucket and chuck it” at 60 knots….
That’s a whole world of messy
@@PhilbyFavourites
Aye you are taking the piss now ! 🤪
Perfectly flat calm seas worh no swells, or troughs, or white caps. How can you evaluate a "go anywhere, do anything boat" in such glass top waters? Go try it in Haulover Inlet during a bsd storm!
OK if I win the lottery, I know what boat I'm buying!
Epic boat but can one have elk leather seats???
If you ask nicely I’m sure you can!
Hate to nitpick, but just to give it a bit of the old know it all: this is most certainly moose leather (moose are called elk/Elch in Swedish and German, while elk are called wapiti deer. Fantastic, sturdy boat.
@@eckartmaichel6604 I bow to your greater knowledge - impressive moose spotting!
Seat belt???
Ive driven this boat fast in rough seas from Southampton to Falmouth, no need for belts but you can have them if you want. You can also have a second row of suspension seats should you wish. It’s an awesome bit of kit not to be confused with other more leisure orientated boats.
I'm a little surprised that a vessel designed to go as fast as that and into heavy chop, where the real excitement and versatility can be explored, does come provided with seat belts. If it were to get airborne and hit a cross-wave at 50 mph, that would be like hitting an Armco barrier in a car and you'd be thrown clean out of your seat...
Ive been airborne in her over 50 knots. No problem. Suspension seats and a soft landing deep V hull.
👌👏💪 Yessss.
make it 550k , with 2 600HP 🤣😂
English Channel drug runner. 💰💰💰💰💰
I enjoy your reviews but please get a cameraman! They make me queasy and I can never finish them!
We usually do for a full sea trial but on this occasion he was busy filming the Jeanneau MF295 with Alex!
Big enough for a cabin. Why not have one
Probably because that would add weight and Viggo is focused on performance. That's how I see it, at least.
Although I would love this boat with a cabin. Could go around Europe in less than a week 😆
front can be closed, if you want....
Don’t they have logs and other stuff floating around, does the boat have a levitation button, if not perhaps they can invent one, no head for us old guys would mean we’re wearing diapers for such an exciting drive.
Needs more ways to use trim tabs
😂
You can have a 4th control stalk for a quick window wipe function. You can also fit a foot throttle or racing throttles should you prefer. . These boats are awesome.
£400K and you have to poo in a canvas shed…. (That’s not even a standard fitment…)
Them there Swedes are a hardy bunch. And given the state of the UK Market at present absolutley no family financial officer (ie the Wife) will allow that degree of expenditure without a toilet.
Last point…. I’m watching the section where the shot is side on to Hugo in the helm seat and his legs are so far out in front of him as to give no support whatsoever. That is a back breaking seating position if you catch a big wave at 40+ knots.
I like the concept, but dear god the designer must have had an apprenticeship as a welder and he/she was determined to showcase those hard won talents.
Mark my words they will sell no more than five of these in the UK market in 2024.
A hugely positive review by Hugo, but yet again shows designers “playing” with the market
They’ll be delighted if they sell five in the Uk. They only make a handful of these every year!
@@hugoandreae3785really?
Thanks for that Hugo. I always assumed they had so sell at least that many to break even… There must be a helluva mark up on the profit margins.
I’ve yet to see the perfect compromise do it all vessel yet. Don’t worry, I’ll keep watching and I’m sure one day you’ll show me one. Thanks again
you don¨t have heads in a Bently car for that price either, but in a RV for that price you do. See it as a car, not a RV
Believe me, as a Viggo owner, you are very much missing the point. If you want luxuries , as Hugo said, buy a different boat. Of course the designer could have put a much larger head in a space in the cabin and a cooker, sink, cuddly toy etc etc but their customers dont want that. Most C10 owners dont even opt for the head at all. Please don’t confuse these boats for other boats. Any aluminium welder will tell you just how immaculately well constructed these boats are…we hear it a lot. Go visit the boatyard and see for yourself, they’ve been doing it there since the 60’s. If you want a mass production boat go buy a saxdor or Axopar, this is a very different sea boat. … just like a 911 isn’t designed as a pick up truck.
You can adjust the footplate, seat base, seat back, steering wheel and preload / rebound on the shock. I own one. The seating position or driving fast in heavy seas is perfect. It’s a bespoke boat so if you want anything else in the ergonomic department they can build it around you.
Wow 😮
No heads on board is a puzzling decision
It does have a head. It's hidden in the bow. They just didn't show it
This is a customers boat and he didnt want a heads. He uses it to get around the Stockholm archipelago at speed from A-B and need need for a heads for his needs.
25 knots 45lph oooohhhhhhhh behave that's just one engine a 300hp Yamaha uses up to 100lph 🤣🤣🤣🤣
With twin 300 Merc Verado V8’s at 40 knots she’s using only 2.8 ltr L/M. Compared to most fast 11m boats she’s very efficient.
You are correct about that being per engine rather than total fuel consumption. We did add a note about this on the final edit of this video but we made a slight error on the posting and used the wrong edit. My apologies.
@@hugoandreae3785 was going to say lol that's the same as my 4.2 QSD 320hp 😁
half a million quid and no loo, sorry but anyone over the age of 30 will a proper loo.
The owner of this boat didn’t want one. They re bespoke boats. As Hugo said you can have a loo.
@@sib610 little fold out tent doesn't count especially considering I'm willing to be it can't be used at 40+ knots
Have you ever used a head at 40 knots?!
@@charley9986 I have at 32 it's interesting but when you gotta pee you gotta pee
Good review but utter waste of time for an enjoyable day out.
Not even a toilet.
About seven different controls for the trim tabs.
What a load of nonsense.
£450k….ridiculous.
It does have a toilet. It pops out in the bow area and is surrounded by a tent like structure for privacy
Completely agree, no toilet is ridiculous.
See it as a commuter car for coastal regions, not as a RV
This is a customers boat. He didn’t want a toilet so there isn’t one fitted. Simple .
You’ve clearly missed the point. You’ve clearly never driven a boat like this at high speed in rough water which is what it’s designed to do. It does what its deigned to do it better than anything else out there, i own one. If i wanted more beds, cookers, sunpads I wouldn’t have looked at this boat.
Wow we can go fast. I'm bored now, what shall we do. Can't have a cuppa or a crap. Pointless.
It’s a fast commuter.
There is a heads option but the owner of this boat didnt want it fitted.
Fast, expensive boat. Totally useless for much of anything.
You have zero clue what you talk about. It’s built in Sweden and most of the owners use it as a commuter all year around, to get fast and safe to their lake houses and back etc. this is a great boat in it’s category.
Looks fun!
Commuter, way to get around the archipelagos, great for fishing, even a prime tourer as you get places fast and comfortably in chop and you can either spend the night at your friend's guest house, hotel, camping or in the boat.
Seriously: what do you suggest is a better boat for fast boating as well as fishing?
Dull, poor person. Totally negative in all of everything.
Don't buy it then. There's always a Shetland 27 if you're looking for slow and cheap lol
No head ? Absolutely useless boat
Poorly designed and with no heads who wants to spend £450k on that. Much better alternatives for the money.
You can have a heads if you want . Of course there are other boats that are designed for more accommodation, sitting around sunbathing etc etc . They can’t do what this boat is designed to do though . Each to their own. I own one. I if i wanted an Axopar type boat i would have bought one. It all depends what you want to use the boat for.
What is the point of this boat? Not enough room to fish from the stern and can’t fish off the bow. The bow is weirdly laid out to party cruise. It has nothing for the day boat crowd. Cost isn’t even the issue…… Who is in the market for this pointless thing? A few billionaires in Alaska and Denmark who want a race boat in the winter ?
There's a stark difference between the 'luxury' of a toilet and soiling yourself though
