These Ducks, the Seahorses and the Nordic Tugs are at the top of my list of true passage maker power boats. The Diesel Ducks , being sail assisted trollers, are perfect. You can always “get home” using the sails down wind, the other vessels would need to be equipped with a wing, or get home engine. But, I drove truck for 15 yrs on Canada’s remote northern roads. An engine failure meant freezing to death - just as deadly as a failure in a single engine vessel on passage. Point being, I’ve entrusted my life to a single diesel for years! The fuel economy is such a huge advantage for long hauls in a single engine craft, and the advancement in super efficient propeller designs can now get these vessels across the Atlantic and back on a single fuel fill up! Love these Diesel Ducks!

I think voice over narration (rather than you walking around talking to the camera) would be good for this style of video. I like having you in the shot to give perspective.
I would like to hear a commentary describing or pointing out features. Bingly bongly music is just annoying. You have the opportunity to sell the boat, why don’t you?
The little details like the general lack of cleanliness, the blistering paint on the helm instrument panels. dirt and grease on the helm spotlight control pedestal and virtually every stainless fitting needing polishing tells a lot about how this oat has been maintained. Two days of general wiping down and polishing before creating a video would have worked wonders for the girl.
Great presentation... more brokerages should use this format... it's annoying to hear brokers say stuff like... and now this is where to steer the boat and over hear is where you can walk into the kitchen... HA!, HA, HA!
I like not hearing voice description. I don't need someone telling me, "And here's the helm station." I did like the person in the video to give some scale to what we were seeing.
I hope you maybe mean this particular girl, because if you are talking Diesel Ducks in general, that is NOT true at all. We've taken our 51-footer from San Diego to: Hawaii, Alaska, Mexico, Costa Rica and Peru so far. Never been on a lake with her.
@@protonneutron9046 Uhmmm, maybe because this boat in the video ISN'T on a lake either, wasn't specifically used on a lake and is certainly suited for "blue water" as you call it. It's a trawler SPECIFICALLY designed and engineered for ocean voyage. YOU make no sense.
@@protonneutron9046 That was the best you could come back with after I backed you into your ignorance pit?? Trying to pawn of "logic" as an excuse for your lack of fact-based blather only shows that mental weakness is your strength, as this discussion has nothing to do with "logic", but rather FACT.
