Alexander is striking out
in a new direction with the
45, the smallest boat in its
range and the fi rst to be
powered by outboards.
We shouldn’t be surprised given the
rate that big outboard-powered craft are
coming to market at the moment and this
one will be a direct competitor for the
Boston Whaler 420 Outrage.
Ocean Alexander traditionally occupies
a grander space than this (the fl agship is a
155), but if it can distill the quality of its
superyachts into this versatile day boat then
it could be on to something.
There are two versions available, one focused
on fi shing and the other on diving but really
this is the one to choose for leisure use. It has
a fantastic cockpit with opposing benches
that can be re-arranged
depending on whether
you want to use it for
dining or to seat guests
on passage. Folding
balconies on each side
add useful extra space
and grant uninhibited
access to the water
directly from the cockpit.
The purposeful helm
station is protected by
a substantial T-top that
connects to the top of the
windscreen for maximum
protection. That will comein useful when you’re haring along at 43 knots
with the quad 350hp Mercs at full chat.
Slip forward of the helm, guided by towering
bulwarks, and there is a sunken seating area
with a table and deep, comfortable recliners.
Below, although day boating is the main
agenda, there is a convertible double bed
and spacious bathroom. The boat will make
its European debut at Cannes 2019.D
