German tuning house Brabus has turned its attention to boats, working with Finnish boatbuilder Axopar Boats on a new cruiser called the Shadow 1000 XC Cross Cabin. The finished vessel measures 38 feet and has now been shown in full through a set of photographs. It stands as a rare crossover for collectors who know the Brabus name from the driveway rather than the marina.
