Boating
Magazine: Boat Test No. 2102. "Magic Act", by Lenny Rudow
(Highlights) |
Chris
Landry, renowned boat media specialist and currently Chief Reporter
of “Power Boating Magazine” |
“How can people live who live
in a land better known for camels and chickpeas think they can design
and build a fish boat better than one made here in the good old’
USA? And a fast 36’ walk around at that? Not a chance...”
“I tested the new SDX36, a genuine masterpiece that was crafted
in - would you believe it - Bahrain”
“Not only has
SDX used the best boat-building techniques found in America, but it's
designed a terrific boat inside and out”
“The first
thing you will notice about the SDX Is its speed”
"
Thanks to its unique manifold design, the SDX36’s sea chest
is quite small. By having only one water intake, SDX’S designers
have reduced drag”
“Since the SDX36 gains speed without
removing weight, the boat’s ride remains comfortable…”
“The Intrepid and Venture offer more space below in their walk
around layouts. But neither has the room or amenities of the SDX (SeaDan
WalkAround of Al Dhaen Craft)”
“...Simply put, the
builder, Al Dhaen Craft of Bahrain, gives you more than just a place
to duck out of the weather.”
“...The boat’s
deep, wide side-decks and thick high rail provide a means to fish
safely forward on this boat”
“ Al Dhaen Craft has
designed a boat capable of knifing through rough seas with minimal
pounding”
“...The SDX’S stepped transom separates
the props from the aft end of the running surface... allows the props
to bite cleaner water…. and the props can be raised creating
less drag and more speed…”;
“…We are iImpressed
with the SDX’S hull-to-deck joint because the builder chemically
bonds it with Plexus, which is stronger than fiberglass. Then the
joint is glassed from inside… We commend Al Dhaen Craft for
using both fiberglass and Plexus….”
“…
The SDX has a good range with a smooth ride...Visibility from the
helm was good.”
"... Test included running the SDX
boat hard In 5’-7’ seas. The SDX handled it superbly and
was always under good control”
Summing up, Chris Landry observes very perceptively:
“ A
specialized boat for a very specific buyer.”
“A fast
smooth-riding open vessel with good overnight accommodations.”
" It executes its mission very well.”
