Hull #011 — XO DFNDR A8, the first FULL-aluminum boat in the XO range. US-version, full transport to Fort Lauderdale included.
This is a distinctive build of XO’s 26-foot full-aluminum walkaround speedster: Black Carbon 3M DI-NOC hull accent, Sky Blue Maglia upholstery, single Mercury Verado 400 L6 power, and the XO Exclusive Adjustable Full-Suspension pilot seat. The DFNDR A8 stands apart from the rest of the XO lineup because the boat is constructed entirely from 10/5 mm marine aluminum — no GRP composite topside, no compromise.

WHY THE A8 IS DIFFERENT
The other XO models pair an aluminum hull with a GRP composite topside. The A8 throws away the playbook: 100% marine aluminum throughout, from waterline to T-top. The result is a hull that’s tougher in extreme conditions, lighter relative to size, and visibly distinctive on the water.
