    Wifey and I watch a LOT of test/review boat vids on Youtube. The other day at the end of one it went into an Azimut 70 video. We were both too lazy to hit the stop button so we watched it. It was long, and VERY detailed. The presenter was a very to the point and knowledgeable person, someone who was part of the team that built it and not some yoyo sales puke telling me to "imagine myself blah blah blah".

    I must say that the amount of thought, creativity and ingenuity that goes into these boats is amazing. They are very cool boats in many ways. Now relax. Between the way it looks and the three Volvo pods in there I would never own this, but still, it has a lot going for it. I was impressed.

    it depends strictly on your situation. How long you’re going to keep the boat, your actual usage, type of cruising etc etc. only you can answer that.

    Long time lurker, first time poster. I was the captain/engineer on Starr, a 77-foot Northern Marine, when we replaced Naiads with Humphree fins to gain zero speed stabilization. Two years and 15,000nm later we couldn't be more dissapointed. The Humphree fins have experienced rapid wear and failures that are incredibly difficult to get fixed with the limited support provided. Never again! Happy to answer any questions.
