New boat day - axopar 28

[julians]

Our new boat was delivered to menorca yesterday, an axopar 28 t-top with aft cabin and mercury 300hp verado.

Hopefully picking it up in mallorca next week.

Quick pics pre- pdi for anyone interested.

Thanks,
no, just black engine woes instead!

Its a boat - at the end of the day they exist in a harsh environment, so things go wrong, but thats part and parcel of boat ownership IMO. Hoping that the outboard will slightly cheaper to maintain than the VP diesel, but it will have higher fuel costs, so who knows where it will level out in the grand scheme of things.

Very nice but I hope they remember to add the aft cabin during PDI

Water ski towing point - plus it gives something handy to lean on when getting on/off

No, between the last row of seats and the transom/engine, you can just see the white 'box'.

these diagrams/renders show it more clearly - its under the red sunpad

I'll be interested to see how you get on with sleeping in there (and using the loo for that matter)! Even if you never do so it gives you a decent place to store stuff and an excellent sunpad. It's the spec I'd choose.

Its certainly not what you would describe as a spacious cabin, but its (slightly) bigger than the Windy 25 cabin and that was fine for the odd overnight trip - which is all we'll use it for.

Are you sure that it’s your boat? It seems to have a Honda on the back

She looks beautiful ?and way too fast for the likes of me?

 

[Portofino]

Looks the perfect boat for its designated use age pattern .Bet it’s a hoot to drive .

Z!ppy has one of these, and took me over to the Isle of Wight last week. It was brilliant. 40kn flat out and a comfortable 30kn cruising. Hope this goes well for you.
