this is the exact type of video that i was looking for, thank you so much!! it’s insanely intimidating be a first time buyer of a sailboat without real knowledge on what makes a good hull
I don't know how long you guys have been boating. Have you thought about taking a PMT class (professional Marines Training class?) They teach you Everything about boats and boat handling to include docking 50 footers and Navigation. I took a class last August. Money well spent.
@@terrythenotarypublicexecns9271 I Took the 12 week PMT course, Stayed on campus in Stuart Fl. its 10K. ( Got my 100ton Masters) I had a couple in my class, graduate on Friday and sailed to the Bahamas on Monday.
I am happy for you for owning a boat, at moment i am saving for it, still have 10 years of saving to go ahead and purchase my boat hopefully i will see you in the water, God bless
Did you all find a Boat. Me & my wife have a sea ray 280 Sundance. So we are into boating as well. Your husband said the most important things at the end about doing your Research 🧐. That’s important
Great video and information! I'm in the market for a Sea Ray and this was just what I needed to see. I hope yall were able to find what you were looking for. Thanks for sharing.
Best part of the video is the ending. An overheating diesel that is a rare engine.... not good. Smart to move on. Good luck and hope you've found the right boat!
first mistake, getting a surveyor reccomended by the broker. Do your own due diligence when finding a surveyor. I hope you made an offer based on getting a repower and reupholster. Say the boat was in the 65,000 range and you offered to buy at around 5k.
This is great content and great information for me that is interested in purchasing a 38 ft Sea Ray. I like that particular brand. I will definitely consider diesel engines now knowing they are more last longer and more durable.
Very informative... I’ve always wanted to know how I would go about buying a nice boat... especially one where I could do fishing and dining and sleeping and toilet capable ... for when you gotta go😯
Sea Ray boats are fantastic! But please know that Formula, Doral, Wellcraft, Carver, Trojan, Chapparral, Four Winns, Chris Craft, Maxum, Cobalt, Donzi, Larson, Cruisers, Fountain, Rinker, Tiara, Crownline, and Monterey are also very worthy contenders in this competitive market! Happy sails!
As a former broker, the cost involves a range depending on length overall(LOA), # of engines and type, systems, market comps, and detail of survey such as C&V ( condition/valuation) specs. Always choose one who is a SAMS organization member. Good luck and congrats!
the lady should be decked out in a bikini on next video. you guys get the message out to not be scared of the water, learn to swim. have the captain teach you to drive the yacht sea rays are great definity get enclosed pilot house. have fun you guys will love yahting.
