Testing the Axopar 38XC (the follow up to a category smashing icon) | Motor Boat & Yachting

Alex Smith hits the water for the world debut of a boat with a very serious job to do: the Axopar 38 Cross Cabin. Replacing a category-bestselling icon that sold over 3,000 units is no easy feat, but this new 38-footer is a completely different animal. She is wider, heavier, and far more substantial than her predecessor! Alex breaks down the clever new drop-down side terraces, the iconic gullwing doors, and the highly integrated pilot house layout. Then, he drops the hammers on the upgraded twin 350hp Mercury V10s to see if this third-generation stepped hull can truly deliver the softest, most composed ride in adventure boating.
