Debut at the Paris Show first, and then in Miami in February. Galley is in the cockpit on this one as well.

LOA 28'0"
Beam 9'2"

Looks Nice! Will they be adding the arch later or is it not in the plans? I wonder how soon they will apply this same styling treatment to the V265 considering it will be their only 8'6" trailerable cruiser.

Very nice.

This is the first I've heard of it, but I do like it better than the 305. Looks like a bit better thought out.

I like the exterior styling and the cockpit layout. Not liking the combination of woods in the cabin. And, I have to go with Cap'
n and ask, why would you put a hot cooking surface (grill or range top) right at the very place that you would rest your hand (or toss your towel) when you were getting out of the water? Seems awfully dumb, but I'm not French.

It just hit me, the cabin looks like it was designed at IKEA.

And if they did a square v berth table leg and square tubing bow rail, they would have squared or sharp cornered about everything. The whole thing doesnt do much for me.

It is completley opposite of what I liked about the style of our current boat.

Who knows, maybe it will grow on me.

For me: Take the aft stove top out and put in a gas grill. Remove the red stripe from the hull.

Other than that & without being on it. Looks good!!

I'm sorry, I don't like it; maybe it's the red stripe and blue hull. It looks as if the boat floats far too high above the water.......and as for the comment about the IKEA interior, I hate IKEA stores in the UK because of the way you are herded around the whole store before the exit is even visible (but their products are OK, so I could live with the "IKEA" interior!)

On this boat, the gunnel goes straight back. Which is giving you that "too high" look.

As a 29yo male, I'd have to say this is the best looking boat I've ever seen. Perfect modern styling. Galley outside to entertain so you're not the lone wolf inside while everyone is outside. Tons of seating to talk around over drinks with friends. No stupid 1980's style radar arch.

Two changes:
The natural style wood changed to the ikea "black brown" style. :lol:

Yanmar 8LV/ZT power. Cruising speed/GPH on this V275 with that package would almost be the same as my 2000 H180 with the 3.0.

One thing on the interior that looks lame....the wood floor is different tone than the wood table, which is different than the cabinetry....looks odd.

For the most part, I like it. I would prefer a wider beam. I do think the cockpit cook center is growing on me.

That cooktop placement seems ridiculous to me!

The cockpit galley can be customized with an electric cooking surface, grill and refrigerator. I would rather have a Corian top to the cockpit galley than the white surface. I can see teenagers setting a hot pot of mac and cheese on that surface and discoloring or damaging it. Let alone scratches and gouges which are bound to happen.

don't like it at all......too cheap looking compared to other earlier years designs.....that stove top in the cockpit is utterly useless and it's in the worst possible place....it will last 2 years tops in salt water.....the cabin? Nope....those wooden cabin steps are an accident waiting to happen......kids with wet feet will take a header down those stairs at anchor with a wave, and then hit their head on the "Ikea" sharp-cornered cabinetry......the day is over now because of the trip to the ER for stitches......

This boat is clearly redesigned for adults and entertainment. It's not a daycare on water. I'm a divorced 29yo without kids, and it's like this boat was designed just for me. It's everything I could ever want in one package. I just hope they offer the "private" stateroom option as they did in the past. That curtain is a no-go when you're out there with another couple.
