@@WanderingKnapps we are window shopping on line till spring. Then whittling down what's"really" available. Several boats listed weren't actually available. Once we have our list we will begin to travel up and down the East coast. It sounds like it's almost impossible to finance an older boat. 1985-2005. I'd rather finance than use up all our cash on hand. Thoughts? Also trying to figure out how to send amazon items to you. Rick
Love the info! I don't know if you noticed, but the audio is off and very low. Perhaps a mic closer to your faces for the vlogs? I don't usually struggle to hear any of your fam. :) -fellow VIPKid teacher
This is very good info we are experiencing this right now. Ins wants a slip lease and a boat, lender wants ins and slip lease and marina wants a boat before they will give a lease??? How the heck does this all happen?
right! That's why we decided against a catamaran and sailboat and bought an old cheep trawler. Eventually we would still like to upgrade. The bad part is, once you get it all ready to sell, it's just how you want it. That's where we are. We've thought about selling, but it's our home now.
My wife and I have been thinking of doing a live aboard when the kids leave the house but we have absolutely no experience. I am very interested in your experience.

I went through the same thing on insurance.. Don't have a survey.. So I bought liability insurance through Markel Corp, they were the only ones writing insurance in Florida without a survey for Liability.. Most marinas won't allow you in unless you have 300-500k liability insurance.. Once my boat is done, I'll get an insurance survey and add full coverage..
Thank you so much for the info. I am at retirement age and want a hobby and a smaller (40' or less) trawler. I currently have a 24' Grady so it would be quite a step up. I am also entertaining the thought of buying a slip. What are your thoughts on that?
I have never looked into buying a slip. No idea how it works or if they hold value or really anything about it. Sorry I'm not more help. Thanks for watching!
Hey guys just watched some of your videos. I live in Miami and I want to start learning more about boats, especially living on one! Maybe we can connect. Hope you see this!
There are some, but not every broker can accomplish this. Finding more boats not online. Also if you aren't comfortable with the sales contract or want someone to keep things moving. Otherwise, you may be okay without
I’m looking to buy a boat in the next year. I have several questions I would love to run by you if possible. Any way to hook up with y’all via phone or email?
