Captain Jeff, that was an amazing All Class video. I am in the market for a vessel just like this, however, my buying timeframe is about 18 months out. Thanks for everything
Why doyou call yourself captain? I am a taxi driver. Should i refer to my self as driver Wally? or taxi driver Wally, or pompous Wally or even wanker Wally. I see you people who coach under 9 baseball or soccer or swimminggo thru life as Coach
wally wombat,, ,, clearly your name tells it all, its like morons have nothing to do except criticize others that they cant be like,,, amazing, probably a liberal
The Boat Group, Brunswick makes Sea Ray, Bayliner and Meridian pleasure boats; Boston Whaler offshore fishing boats; and Crestliner, Cypress Cay, Harris (formerly FloteBote), Lowe, Lund, Princecraft fishing, deck and pontoon boats. The company operates as part of the Brunswick Boat Group, a division of the Brunswick Corporation. Bayliner was acquired by Brunswick from Orin Edson in 1986 for $425 million. nice boats
Fantastic professionally executed video, thank you. We are looking at a 1999 one here is Southern California. If you have any tips for purchasing, that would be great. We will do a survey for sure. They are asking 149k. Thanks again sir.
I can tell you from Hard Experience that no sale in two years does not surprise me in the least. For one thing, it is the economy, which is a lot worse than the stock market would indicate. For the second, cheaper boats are almost always selling, as anyone with a job can afford them. Much more expensive boats continually sell because the wealthy are much less affected by the economy. Mid-range boats like this are almost always a hard sell because they are in the "successful working stiff" market, whose fortunes rise and fall constantly with the economy. A boat like this, including ALL expenses, runs about $3,000 a month to own, not counting major episodes like a new gen set or engine rebuild. At today's prices, a fill-up Easily runs $600. Yeah. Fact. Been there and Done it....
@@seadog2396 this should not take 2 years to sell. Clearly the seller or broker is doing something very wrong. It should take a year at most, even when the economy is bad.
@@seadog2396 so old idiotic man, it doesn't take much brain to realise that a boat like this should not he on the market for 2 years. I'm sorry you're too dumb to realise this, especially for a cheap aft cabin sea ray. Maybe going to college would help you
Such a great design. I especially like the molded steps to the swim platform and open area between the bridge and aft deck that can be climate controlled. Its like a huge screen porch out on the water with AC. Also. Sea Rays are so solid and well built that they are well worth repowering if you want to keep it for a life time.
Great video. I'll be shopping for a boat like this in 3 years or so. Hoping I can find one in my desired location because truck transport would be a deal-breaker. $$$$$$
Stunning boat...even though it's a 1997 boat it's definitely competing with the newer boats...especially on the inside....one question....how much would this boat cost in 2020....a 1997 boat I mean????
Although I'm assuming this boat is long sold, this video presentation was the best I've seen. That's how they should be done. So many videos of the boats are not succinct, not complete and hard to watch as well as often have some crazy background music that stops me from watching the entire video. And the price was included with intentions to negotiate.
Does it have an engine? what type? how many? hours? generator? what type? how many? capacity? hours? water maker? batteries? thrusters? stabilizers? fuel polishing? filters? Oil changing system?
Good video but overpriced. I just bought a 2001 carver 406 aft cabin which has all of the features plus a better layout. Although this is bigger i would like to see a price drop for people who are looking to re do the seats or curtains but nevertheless it is a beautiful boat and i wish luck. Btw I’m on lake Alatoona
This is a nice boat, well maintained, the price reflects pride of ownership, I've seen them go for anywhere around 90K all the way up to 160k. The 160k boat was way overpriced but the 90k boats are more like "fixer uppers" nothing wrong with that, but how much time and work do you want to invest to get it this shape. 20 or 30 grand is peanuts in the yacht world so I'd rather buy a well loved nice cruiser than one that needs to be overhauled. The Carvers are nice, My Brother has a 396 aft cabin with gas engines. I've been looking at Carvers and Sea Ray's, I don't like the galley on the Carver, No counter space compared to the Sea Ray. That extra "bonus room" on the Sea Ray is way cool. I'm not sold yet but the Carvers are comparable, and Great cruisers, We've cruised on My Brothers all over the East Coast (home port is on the Albemarle Sound in NC) So I'm partial to them. Decisions, Decisions LOL
Kenneth Miller my carver 406 has tons of counter space and yes the layout is a bit wonky i always liked it more than a sea ray and my boat is a very low production number compared to sea ray which doesn’t mean anything i just think it’s cool to have like #86 of my year rather than #4995 in the sea ray world(yes that’s a bit exaderated) i don’t kneow hot to spell it)
As far as quality I feel they are both equal, I have no idea about the serial numbers, I work at a major air conditioning plant, we built thousands of units a day. I'm not sure how carver or sea ray have their serial numbers arranged, We go by model, production number, date, production line and shift. Some boat manufacture's (Say for instance Nordhavn go by length and number they produced of that model) N6224 for example. My parents had an Inland Seas 31 with the serial number 3007 that's how many boats they built up to that point in 1963. I like Cummins diesels better than Cats, in certain applications, like a mid size aft cabin cruiser. So the Carver is winning in that department, galley space Sea Ray hands down (I like to cook) I have a 27' travel trailer and my only bitch is galley space, not enough. I'm going to go crawl around some of these before I make a decision though.
@jponyboyace I have a similar inquiry to yours. Being a freshwater boat is a huge plus and, as such, many are docked in covered boat slips. What is more, some boat owner also own the slip space as a unit among many others of a large covered dock having dozens of slips. Some of those who do have a hoist system comprised of large ballast tanks that keep a their boats up out of the water when not in use. This is how to keep a new boat stay like new.
Hold up! Please tell me you have a safe in this yacht holding about $50,000! And a contract stating all the carpet will be replaced, and the furniture will be updated. Then we would be back into reality and life would make more sense to me at this point. Lol! Seriously though, I like it, and hope you got what you wanted, and hope the one who bought what he wanted. Just hope you had a complimentary jar of petroleum jelly in there somewhere! Lol! Jk! 😁
