Performance meets durability in this 2008 Xo Boats Dfndr 8, a walk around vessel engineered with an aluminum hull for a fast and lightweight experience on the water. Measuring 8.5 meters in total length with a 2.28-meter beam, this boat provides a stable platform capable of reaching a maximum speed of 45 knots, with a comfortable cruising speed of 30 knots. It is currently located in Abruzzo, Italy, and is offered with VAT paid.
The mechanical setup is a standout feature of this listing, as the boat was recently upgraded with a new 2024 Yamaha 300HP 4-stroke outboard engine with only 60 hours of use. Additionally, a new 2024 Yamaha 6HP secondary engine is included, which has never been used. The vessel is designed for versatility, featuring a protected and heated driving console, ensuring comfort during varied weather conditions.
Equipped for extended utility, the vessel includes Webasto diesel heating with a dedicated 30-liter fuel tank. Navigation and operation are supported by a Simrad chartplotter, Lenco flaps with automatic trim adjustment, and a functional electronics suite including a fridge, stereo, and comprehensive lighting for both forward and aft visibility. Safety is prioritized with equipment rated for navigation within 50 nautical miles.
This used boat is well-suited for those seeking a highly responsive, aluminum-hulled motorboat that blends raw performance with modern creature comforts. With the engine upgrades completed in 2024 and its current status as ready for immediate delivery, it serves as an excellent option for owners who prioritize mechanical reliability and build quality.
