“With naval architecture by Bill Dixon, it was no surprise to find that the 82 handled well during our trial, was positive and sure-footed in turns and immediately responsive to throttle inputs. The MANs are impressively torquey, and the hull copes with the power without any fuss. There was a bit of breeze on our test evening, which had raised a slight chop of just two to three feet, but nothing to disturb a 70-ton boat packing 4,000 horsepower. She barely noticed it.”
