I love these older boats because they seem to have style and feeling you are home built in them. When you can sit on the sofa and fall asleep easily, you know you are home.
Just when I think Victoria & Rico have shown us the most unique affordable liveaboard yacht out there, they find a completely different one!!! (Hey Rico, next yacht with phones on board, you should have someone answer when Victoria picks up a receiver-you can take bets on how high she jumps!) Seriously, another gold standard tour from the best in the business. Thanks you two!
Hi Rico do 2 stroke marine Diesel engines require 2 stroke oil added to fuel and are there extra tanks added for this as it's never mentioned in the specs, cannot find on internet as answers all differ, Cheers Mike Thailand
I think you might point out, in one of your videos, that the payments are insignificant compared to maintenance, docking and upkeep, not to mention crew, bottom cleaning in warm climates, etc. Dock and power alone at the cheapest city marina in FLL will be at least $92,000/year. The LOW end of crew w/ only three low-paid choices will be $150k/year. Those two items alone equal roughly 1/2 the entire purchase price each year. None of this includes maintenance and periodic upgrades, reserves for engine & generator replacement/overhaul. Follow your travels but think you should spend some time on the life-time costs of your recommendations. Lots of your subscribers, as you are finding, are not as well versed in marine knowledge. They certainly did not get the point of the change from Bering 75 to 82. The mortgage payments on the 103' Broward are less than $5000/mo.. a trap for those thinking this is less than a house if they have to pay $250k/year or more to keep it. Also, as you know, many have never done this before, have little knowledge of the complexity of vessels this size and will absolutely need paid yacht management to stay out of financial and physical trouble at least for the first several years. Washing it down is nothing like a 1/2 hour exercise one person can do. If it is not run regularly, it will fall into costly disrepair. One-captain and one in-experienced owner are unlikely to stay on top of it. In an in-experienced family crew, who will handle lines safely on a boat of this tonnage?
Tbh $250k per year isn’t so bad. It’s a super yacht after all. How I see it, I’m saving $7M-$10M not having to buy brand new = $280k-$400k a year interest income earned per year (assume 4% of $7M-$10M) 🎉
I used to have a late 80s Furuno radar set with CRT screen on my Hallberg Rassy 49. It was brilliant. Could show pretty much every buoy in a channel at night, small boats, tenders, and the rest. If you have one of the old Furuno radar sets and it’s still working then don’t even begin to think about upgrading because there’s nothing better.
That older Choy Lee yacht you had on the channel in the past is still one of my favorite “affordable live aboard” units you have shown. The layout became more and more sensible the further you both went through the tour. Absolutely loved that vessel. 👍🏻😎👍🏻
Ha! I'm not a subscriber but this video came up in my feed and it immediately reminded me of that Choy Lee yacht that came up a couple of years ago. I would much rather one of these classic yachts than the new UFO style boats of today.
For the 3rd time since I have been a subscriber, you have done a yacht tour of a yacht that I had already been looking at as a possible purchase "live aboard". The Cheoy Lee, the Fairmiles, and now this Broward. The Cheoy Lee was sold the day I called, The Fairmiles has been sold, and now this Broward will probably be sold by the end of the weekend. You guys are magical for the sellers. This yacht is fabulous. Exactly what I want and what I need.
This is so well laid out. The Denison family knew howmto build them back in tne day, Such a perfect iveaboard and Bahamas or BVi yacht. You coukd bring your whole family znd stay for a month. Such a timeless design
Beatiful boat. Don't let the price fool you. $599k is merely the cost of entry. This thing will cost six figures a year to run and keep in this condition.
THE DEFINITION of a $ pit...200K to modernise on top of all the maintanence...Pretty sure if we check the archives, this ship was featured on "Lifestyles of the rich, and famous"...
@@G029er Imagine the majority of their viewers are on the other side of the spectrum: Desparate for a solution away from crippling debt. The reality being, the amount of people willing to sink this kind of cash is very rare.
@@brentfarvors192 Most people who could afford to buy this yacht, then update and refurb it, and then maintain it, would probably opt for something newer. However, I think it's w-a-y cool and wish I was one of those people (who would refurb it)!
The classics are never not simply stunningly gorgeous. The aft mother in law suite/lazzerrete ❤ Rico is on point. Damm good engine room. 2 stroke Detroits are amazing engines. Like bulldogs. They just keep hitting it. 100 foot boat .. and the age. It looks fantastic. Love me some easy opening hatch for Victoria 🎉🎉🎉🎉 good zinger, rico.. I see the safe word worked and no leash❤❤❤ Thanks for showing this very very impressive craft
Broward Motor Yachts have always had the best lines / looks in my humble opinion. Except for " Britannia " they were not screaming fast, but they were great cruising yachts. The best part of being a Broward, is they are built of aluminum, so they can be USCG certified to create great charter yachts ( T-boats / 49 passengers plus or minus ). It's best to get one that spent it's life in the Great Lakes to reduce corrosion issues. If there is any corrosion damage, it's relatively easy to fix. I've spent the last 40 years restoring and converting yachts to USCG standards (46 CFR will be your best friend too). Great new toy. Have fun. Capt. Keith
"Simple door... you can't mess it up" In past videos I've had a lot of laughs over Victoria's struggles with doors and drawers while Ricco chuckles. A compilation video would be so fun
The year I graduated HIGH school , looks party ready -like you and your friends can really get sloppy in the sun on that tub!. Im sure there might. be a vintage kilo or two of montana snow stashed aboard too -love it
Love the sound of those older 12V Detroits. Very unique sounding. Twin Turbos and Twin Superchargers. They are capable of much more than 700 horsepower if they are turned up. Great looking boat for its age and looks to be well taken care of.
Right! And that just gets you the 🔑 reading the comments ....it's super expensive to maintain monthly and yearly. B=break O=out A=another T=thousand LOL😂
This Yacht is stunning! Just beautiful and can I say what looks to be a great value as well! Love your videos and banter back and forth! Of course always informative and entertaining!
@@marvindebot3264 If you are living on it then you won’t really use fuel. You’ll be hooked up to electric and fresh water at the dock. Slips are the real problem. A boat that big would need a lot of dock space.
So much fun following you guys. I cannot wait for the final showing of your brand new vessel. 🚢 Love your relationship. Also look forward to watching Rico and Victoria party with all involved. So exciting 😃
You don't need to, that boat probably never leaves the marina 😂 When this boat was built they did not have screens, those were added later, the boat was not designed to have them, hence they are in the way.
It doesn’t even need to be in the water, I could live on this yacht. I would change anything that was a black counter top other than that. Beautiful!!! If you can afford this great for you two. You both seem down to earth, hope you believe in the man upstairs. Absolutely a treasure you have there. One hell of a man cave. God bless.
That is amazing and needs very little to update, me I'd use it as it is and just enjoy. Got to love the mix of the old and new instruments to, if it ain't broke don't fix it. Also the colour of the woodwork is not too dark. Got to think this is something Victoria would have been happy to buy as a live aboard, especially with all the closet space. Really appreciated the explanation of the fuel system too Rico, didn't realize how it worked.
What a beautiful Yacht! I love the character and charm of this boat. I wouldn't change a thing about it! Not one thing!! I prefer the older yachts over the more modern ones, myself. Love it and great video!!
Really beautiful for a classic. The interior looks great I like how open it is. Wood flooring would definitely be a gorgeous update. I have been following your channel 3-4 years and had no idea you had another channel 😮
ANOTHER GREAT PRESENTATION 👏!!!....GUYS YOU ARE THE BEST 👌 👍...NOW VICTORIA I DON'T KNOW IF YOU REMEMBER BUT I TOLD YOU A COUPLE YEARS AGO THAT YOU MAKE STRIPES LOOK GREAT!! 😉 ❤️ THOSE OUTFITS WILL LOOK GREAT ON ANY LADY THAT PURCHASE YOUR OUTFITS. 😍. ❤❤❤❤
What an awesome boat, I love this one. Really looks like a boat and although it has a few issues (damage swim platform, loose panels in pilot house) it has a lot of potential. It only these boats had normal European electricity specs...........or I would be living in the US, I would probably already have one of these. I always loved Broward and you proved it once again why I love them. Great tour ! 👍
This video came up in my RU-vid feed after watching all of motor yacht Loon and the Crew Chef videos. Love them both! Next I'm going to check out your other channel NautiGuys and see the yacht that you're building. You guys are cool! 😎
Well versed in the whine of the air start. In the late 80's and into the 90's, I was stationed on the USS Ortolan. We had 4 10 cylinder Alco's as our mains that stated with compressed air and 4 16V71 Detroit's that powered our generators & also used compressed air to start.
How did they even get those fridges and the washer and dryer into the lazerett? There is not even room to stand the fridges up if they were brought in tilted. Amazing.
Hey, you too this is Kevin Crabbe about pincher Creek Alberta Canada come alive to you. I’m watching this year and I wouldn’t touch and leave it just the way it is. I’m old old man I’m 66 years old and I’m that’s my vintage of style living, that is a beautiful yacht
You guys did and do a beautiful showing of the yacht. I cannot believe how cheap it is. I mean a little fixing up you could easily live on it. With all the levels it's really beautiful.
Now you have gone and done. I thought the Cheoy Lee was my favorite for liveaboard. This magnificent beauty has perplexed my brain. Geat tour of a fantastic super yacht. Talk about an almost perfect cruising yacht with a few friends. Thank you for this find!
The maintenance is what catches most people by surprise. You pay $600k for a house you don’t need another $50 to 100k a year in care and feeding depending on how much traveling you do. But yeah, you could easily drop another million if you wanted to. The only thing more expensive than an older boat is an older Jet. There you can buy a jet with a lot of timed out components and dump several times the purchase price just to get it airworthy p, much less modernized.
Dieses Schiff ist der perfekte Spiegel zu unserer Welt. Damit die einen im totalen Luxus leben können müssen die anderen in den kleinen Kämmerchen verweilen!!
The fact that it's an Aluminium hull and has such fantastic bones means it's basically down to furniture and fabrics... The only addition ?... Solar. .... Take the burn out of running that generator most of the time especially at anchor ⚓🔱🧙🏼♂️🇬🇧 This is about the price of a large semi or detached house with less room in many parts of the UK. In the SE or London you would be lucky to buy a nice flat. 😬
Absolutely stunning. I am one of the many fans of the Cheroy Lee, even though I am a sail boat man, but the accommodation on that one for the money is incredible. This one is even more stunning. honestly, my only complaint would be, maybe it is too much accommodation, if you are only one man and do not have either a huge family or many friends to accommodate or both. I have said it before: When I was a commercial fisherman from the west coast of Denmark in the infamous North Sea years ago, essentially all boats had Furono radars. Because they do not break. You maybe can save a few bucks buying other brands, but what does that matter to you, the day an important safety equipment fail at sea? I am not keen on the pilot house though. The right place, but the view is obscured of all those screens. Two reasons: It is not exactly my dream to be at sea and still looking on screens old day and second, the actual line of sight will always in the end be the most reliable safety perspective.
Hah, I have now rewatched this tour so many times that the RU-vid algorithm has started putting in my "recommendation" sidebar almost every day at some point (along with TUSK's awesome cover version of Fleetwood Mac's "The Chain"). The boat is such a good layout, and you were both so charmingly on form, I keep coming back to it to reconsider the possibilities. Thanks so much for bringing these cool vessels to our attention!
This looks amazingly well suited for the carribean. A Broward too. When I talked to Bob Denison about getting a yacht like a Broward because his family owmed the company, we talked about getting one and restoring it and what he should do, I have an idea these people nailed it and would be perdect dor him.
That's a lot of yacht for the money. There were some dated bits here and there, but for the most part it didn't look tacky or gaudy. It looked pretty nice. I'm guessing you'd probably need at least $1M to buy, fuel, and maintain this yacht for any period of time, but I would certainly do it if I had the money. I really like that she has an aluminum hull and Detroit diesels. I suspect she'd be super comfy on a leisurely cruise, particularly with those stabilizers. And she has great lines. Really beautiful yacht.
I Loved everything about this yacht. It really looked like home to me. I loved that everything still was working fine. I liked your idea about extra covering on top. And wow, the crane. I have kept the name in my head. If I ever have the money my first buy. Its so me in every way. Thankyou. Out of all your videos this is the best.
In your Specs for the live aboards can you also give the minumum bridge clearance needed for the vessel? As someone who dreams of doing the Great Loop this would be an amazing boat (although maybe a bit to large) to do it in with some modification to the mast and structure it sits on.
