Marex 370 boat test

Marex 370 from the January 2010 issue of MBY
Motor Boat and
Yachting recently braved the icy but beautiful weather in Norway to hop onboard
the new Marex 370 to carry out a full boat test. In a world awash with hyperbole,
you're probably fed up hearing the words unique, groundbreaking, and
extraordinary. But those are the words you will be reading if you pick up the
January 2010 issue of Motor Boat and Yachting and read our Marex 370 test
report.
If the great and the
good, and the ‘green', currently assembled in Copenhagen could only get their
hands on the 370, chances are they would feel more kindly disposed towards the
burning of fossil fuels in the pursuit of pure pleasure. Why? Because the Marex
370, an outwardly conventional shaft drive boat, is so astonishingly fuel
efficient that it not only blows away every other similar shaft drive boat
we've tested, it actually outperforms many of the slippery, supposedly
efficient sterndrive sportscruisers we've tested.
The 370 also turned
out to be an extraordinarily versatile boat, capable of fulfilling so many
roles: intrepid offshore explorer, secure family cruiser, and low speed inland
waterways rubbernecker. And thanks to its unique aft cabin, centre cockpit,
enclosed hardtop configuration, it also stacks up very well as an uncommonly
private weekender. If you're looking for an agile, 30 knot, sturdily built,
jack-of-all-trades, don't part with your money until you've read our report.
Read the full report in MBY January 2010.
