Boat without licence AS MARINE 19 GL OPEN AS MARINE 19 GL OPEN 40hp review

The AS Marine 19 GL Open is a straightforward open day boat built around a 5.70 m hull with a wide, social layout and a certified capacity of seven people. It is a sensible choice for owners or charterers who want a simple fiberglass boat for lake or inshore use rather than a mini-cruiser. Public listings show some variation in engine specification, ranging from a 40 hp no-license setup to higher-power versions, so the exact performance depends heavily on the market and fit-out.

On the water, the boat should feel light and manageable, with the kind of handling expected from a compact planing open boat. The hull size and category suggest it is best suited to calm-to-moderate conditions, short passages, and day trips. With the lower-power version, acceleration and top speed will be modest; higher-power listings indicate a more energetic setup, but those figures should not be mixed as if they were the same boat specification.

Comfort is functional rather than luxurious. The open deck, bow sunpad, and simple seating arrangement work well for fair-weather use, but there are no cabins, berths, or bathrooms, so overnighting is not part of its mission. The value case is strongest if the boat is priced as an uncomplicated license-free day cruiser with standard navigation equipment and easy maintenance, but buyers should verify the engine package and onboard options before comparing offers.
