55 Knots in a Family Dayboat?! Finnmaster T9 Sea Trial | Motor Boat & Yachting

If you're looking for a manageable, multi-purpose family boat that can handle both the sun and the shelter, you could do a lot worse than a compact pilot house boat. In this video, Alex Smith takes the Finnmaster T9 out on a blustery day in Sweden for a comprehensive sea trial and full tour of the largest day cruiser Finnmaster builds. This 30-foot prototype sports boat packs a massive full-beam cockpit layout, a clever open-plan double-cabin setup below deck, and a serious sting in its tail. Equipped with the maximum twin 400hp V10 outboards, Alex pushes the hull past 50 knots to find out if this premium Scandi weekender balances blistering performance with genuine family practicality.
