Dunno if it's just the white balance, but the colour looks a lot better in that pic vs the one in the OP.

Did anyone take the plunge and buy one of these boats yet?
Still think it's quite an interesting prospect, and pretty light for it's size and HP range...

Go on be the first 👍🤪

We purchased one at Beadnell Boat Launch, primarily for use as a tender, but teamed with a 15hp Suzuki it’s proving so much fun the guys are always taking it out for a blast around the bay.

It is in fact a pre production model and Boatworld let us have it for a very, very good price as the deck had been made about 50mm too low. We imagined the performance at planing speeds would be compromised, but as it was only for use as a tender, then this wouldn’t matter. In practice though it’s hardly noticeable and planes just fine. Not as composed as the production model previously tested, but still a hoot. We love it.

Hey that's great - thanks for posting, good to know!
Hope you continue to enjoy... any more pictures or videos would be most welcome!

Think I will pick one of these up. I actually quite like the colour

Good stuff smallribber, would like to see one in action!

I don't mind the colour either, it looked good in the flesh at the boat show.
My first impressions were it had a very big and very flat deck... looked like a ton of room...
54kg and able to split the floor/boat when transporting sounds good. The Carbon Pro 365 with an Air floor was the other boat I've been thinking about...

The big green one looks a bit more solid somehow!

SR your back! Have you been on holiday, anywhere nice? You didn't post any drone footage of where you have been.

I've an idea. Instead of buying a new green Cruiser 380, why don't you colour match it and paint one of the sibs you have that you don't use and donate the money to Children in Need. Win - Win, you get a green sib and Children in Need get £1000
