Marex 270 Estremo, FOLLIT

Broker’s Comments

Norway’s Marex have been building well-designed, high-quality craft for over 50 years, and the 270 Estremo is an opus in fast deep-vee hull design. One of the only hulls that can hold a candle to the wonderful Windy 25 Mirage, the 270 is a pocket performance cruiser that packs a mighty punch.

FOLLIT was originally specified by a very knowledgeable UK Owner who selected the imperious Volvo Penta D6-370 engine. This allows her to cruise at 30 knots using under 30 litres an hour (@ 2500 RPM), whilst also being able to achieve speeds of over 44 knots. With precise handling, this is an extremely potent combination! Power without the correct hull is counterproductive, however the Marex combines top-drawer build with excellent naval architecture to ensure an aggressive, stiff and well-reinforced shape that can deal with the power, and forces that this exerts as the hull cuts across the chop. Six moulded spray-rails generate dynamic lift – promoting early planning, and ensuring potent, accurate handling through the bends.

Her cockpit can be entirely enclosed with a well-made Helly Hansen sectioned canopy, so she is super-comfortable in harbour for overnighting, even when the weather is not ideal – and provides an occasional double berth as required. Her cosy cabin features a separate heads – with hot and cold water, heating, with a roomy double berth that converts from a hi/low table and sofa.

She has low engine hours, and enjoys a fully documented service history – one of the great positives of having only had two diligent owners from new. She has been immaculately prepared for sale, and we note the recent fitting of a new lower unit of her Volvo Penta DPH outdrive (with balance of a 2 year Warranty).

Press Comments

“The deep vee hull provides excellent seakeeping, grip, and high-speed cornering. The interior has a high-quality fit-out with practical touches like a separate heads compartment and lots of storage … the D6-370 option provides ‘outrageous’ acceleration and a top speed of over 40 knots.

This is a proper cuddy cabin boat, so below decks there is just a vee-shaped dinette that converts to a double bed. But of course, it is a Marex, so the quality of fit-out is first class and there are lots of practical touches such as a separate heads compartment and plenty of storage.

A very deep vee hull gives great seakeeping, ‘limpet-like’ grip and spectacular high-speed cornering angles.” – Motor Boat & Yachting – The Best Cuddy Cabin Boats 2023.
