cross cabin for sure. weather is never perfect. if it's too hot, gets hot, gets cold, gets rainy or just changes, you'll love that you have that cabin.
-
"i want to enjoy the British summer"......while wearing a T-shirt and 2 fleeces!!!!
-
I'm with Jack on this, Cross Cabin all the way!
-
2 outstanding boats! 1 outstanding comment regarding Hugo's hair! I'd go with enclosed, but with the opens paint! Well done!
-
Good arguments for both versions, but it would be the cross cabin for me. If you're spending that much money, I'd want year round boating
-
Cross cabin all day long. I’d be quite happy with it as my summer retreat.
-
I love that the steering wheel rotates while the center is fixed, would like to see that on well everything.
-
Wrapped up like it's winter and enjoying one of 10 nice summer days a year in the UK. Bahamas yes, UK no.
-
You know it’s a serious machine when there are half a dozen “warning” stickers next to the helm 🤣
-
Chuckling away at this as they talk about ‘having fun in the British summer’ while looking like they are about to climb Everest. My god I’m happy I left that country.
-
Great review chaps. I'd go for the xc. Fantastic boats they both are.
-
I live in Miami and i'd still take the cross cabin to head over to the Bahamas and all the other nearby islands, never know when you will get some bad weather, great vlog guys and plz keep up the good work, come oooooooooon Lotto!! 👍👏🏽🇺🇸🙏🏽
-
Hugo, Jack has had your pants down! [again] Great review, love the format.
-
The XC Shadow is the one. What a boat and so unique. Great review of boat amazing machines. 😎✌🏻
-
I love the color scheme on the sun top, but the closed one is the one to go for.
-
Living in the UK I would prefer the brabus 900 Cross cabin to the sun top as I believe that the covered version of this vessel would be used more in our unpredictable weather!
-
Nice job Hugo and Jack. A great boat for a superyacht tender (yes.. cabin version please, nice try at the sell Hugo but I think you got the short straw!)...or perhaps a day reef/paragliding/thrill ride etc charter boat, but not suited for much else I think.. Having said that it is great that there is so much on offer these days that you can match your needs/budget to many available options.
-
It's a great design.Luvs the Blck & Red colour.
-
I live on the west coast of Norway, so the Cross-cabin for sure :-)
-
Love the cross cabin setup. Thanks for sharing
