Fareast 23R: First Look Video

One of its most striking features, however, is its price. Starting at under $35,000, this boat lets racers get in on the action for far less than many competitors. Want to learn more? Our reviewer Dieter Loibner shot this short video of the 23R at the Dusseldorf International Boat Show.
