With twin engines, agile XO DFNDR 8 can reach +50 knots of speed. Although the boat is smaller than other recent XO models it still maintains the uncompromising attitude and resilience of a true XO. This boat is the perfect entry to the group of XO trailblazers for those who want to take their boating to the next level.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Optimal engine recommendations start from 300 hp, but the boat can easily handle 450 hp single V8 or Twin 225 V6 engines. The XO DFNDR 8 can host up to 8 passengers for day trips and fun expeditions.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Following and adapting the design philosophies of yacht design, XO DFNDR 8 is made of aluminium, just like the some of the most prestigious superyachts of the world. This makes DFNDR 8 excellent choice for tender use alongside superyachts, since it has the same spirit and DNA as its core.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
