Cue large tank capacities, hydraulic stabilisers and either single or twin Perkins engines.<\/p>\n<p>The flybridge has a high spray screen, sink with drinking water and a simple but safe, wind-free and private floor-level sunlounger.<\/p>\n<p>Aquanaut have installed a swivelling passenger seat up at the dashboard that initially looks quite clumsy, but in fact really makes the link between helmsman and passengers.<\/p>\n<p>With bow and stern thrusters, getting in and out of berths is no problem, and once out in open water the Perkins engines were steady through the revs up to a maximum of 2,250hp and about 10 knots.<\/p>\n<p>The big thing, though, is the level of <strong>customisation<\/strong> available. The only room you can&#8217;t fiddle with is the engineroom &#8211; apart from that, you&#8217;re given more or less free rein to design your own boat.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"o-container youtube\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"630\" height=\"354\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/R__bIAdF1tQ?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1\" id=\"keystone-player\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Top-level luxury and long-distance cruising from this fully customisable steel boat<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":405,"featured_media":486,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","tags":[],"review_manufacturer":[62],"review_category":[45],"review_type":[],"review_award":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mby.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/485"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mby.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mby.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/review"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mby.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/405"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mby.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=485"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.mby.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/485\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":42297,"href":"https:\/\/www.mby.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/485\/revisions\/42297"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mby.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/486"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mby.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=485"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mby.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=485"},{"taxonomy":"review_manufacturer","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mby.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review_manufacturer?post=485"},{"taxonomy":"review_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mby.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review_category?post=485"},{"taxonomy":"review_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mby.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review_type?post=485"},{"taxonomy":"review_award","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mby.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review_award?post=485"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
