As for the Sargo’s performance, you can opt for 440hp sterndrives or you can choose the rig we tested – twin 480hp Volvo Penta D6-IPS650s for around 36 knots and 30-knot cruising efficiency of four litres per nautical mile for a range in excess of 300 miles.
Either way, the new 45 is clever, user-friendly and full of seafaring practicalities – and with the optional Explorer trim package in place, it also looks fresher and more dynamic than pretty much anything else in the sector.
