On Board the Saxdor 400 GTC

To truly know how a boat will run, you have to look at the hull form. It’s evident from the Saxdor 400 GTC’s wetted surface that it can cleave the seas with its plumb bow. It can get up on top of the water via its three lifting strakes. It can run stable with its wide chines, and it can break free of the suction and run on a flatter surface with its two-stepped, resin-infused hull. Transom deadrise is 21 degrees, adding to its performance equation.

Equally notable are the Saxdor 400 GTC’s niceties. Flanking the twin Mercury 400 V-10 outboards is a walk-around platform with extensions, allowing for stern boarding and easier engine access for routine maintenance. A sunroof, glass transom panels, Zipwake interceptors, Simrad navigation package, modular battery setups for quiet operation, and stereo and lighting options add to the boat’s comfort and functionality.

The 400 GTC has go-fast looks, and it walks the walk too. Wide open, the 400 GTC powers up to nearly 44 knots. For a more leisurely jaunt with the family, dial it back to 4,200 rpm for about a 23-knot cruise speed.

Underway or at a waypoint, this boat has an array of seating and lounging options. The aft deck sun pad’s backrest folds flat. The enclosed cockpit has additional seats, including an L-shaped settee with a teak table and lounge to port. Just forward of the seating is the galley with a sink, fridge and stove. There is also a grill aft.

In transformer-like fashion, the boat also has pilothouse glass aft that flips up, side windows that lock forward, and a bow pass-through that opens up, creating a true center-console vibe.

The bow seating area has a C-shaped settee and backrests. Angular seating makes this area perfect for lounging and will be the go-to place for sundowners on the hook.

From hull to hardtop and bow to stern, the Saxdor 400 GTC offers performance, comfort, a robust build and a ready-to-run attitude. The hardest decision will be where to go first.  

Elbow Room

To maximize functionality and usable space, the 400 GTC has port and starboard fold-down, hullside platforms with glass inlays. These terraces offer walk-around access, add room for large parties, and make for intimate spots to sit by the water. 

Command Central

The helm to starboard accommodates a trio of 16-inch flush-mounted Simrad multifunction displays that are angled to reduce sun glare. Even with windows and doors closed, the 400 GTC has 360-degree visibility. Flush touch buttons are within easy reach too. Additional space on the console holds more electronics. A beefy grab rail is on the helm console, similar to those all around the vessel.
