Down To The Line! Trying To Keep My Plans Afloat

One of the worst things you can do in boat life is to let a schedule dictate your plans and actions. Unfortunately, that is easier said than done.

    Just found your channel. Looking forward to reviewing your older content and your new videos as they come out. I am currently looking at purchasing a boat and am trying to do the research in order to make a more informed decision. The boat I found is very beautiful and fits everything I have been looking for but it has a major issue that has caused me to stop for a moment and do some more research. The boats owner passed away almost 7 years ago and the boat has been in probate. It is now free to be sold. It has been sitting for all those years and been looked after by a skeleton crew who have supposedly done the maintenance work and even brought in techs to review equipment like the motors. I dont know how much money i am going to have to put into the boat to bring even just the electronics up to modern standards or if the current equipment is functional and has the ability to safely navigate. Not to mention all the extras that might need to be replaced such as life raft dinghy etc. I hope I can find some information on your channel about refits and the yards that do them and what some of the unknown items might encounter. Thanks

    For someone to post that the boat is over priced without actually seeing the boat is out of line. If all the boat’s systems are in good working order and if the canvas, teak, paint/gelcoat and interior is in good condition the boat appears to be priced very realistically. I think a more accurate statement from the wannabe’s would be they wish the boat was cheaper because they can not afford a boat in this price range. I am welling to bet that a person that would say something like that is probably one of those dock walking ducks that wastes their time dreaming of finding a boat that does not require any physical or financial effort to maintain. Good luck with that fantasy. ( please keep on walking by while I am out washing and working on my boat in this 95 degree weather)

      Thanks so much for tuning in. That is a great question, I have not done much freshwater boating. I would imagine you could get some sort of scale buildup, or freshwater mollusk growth, so I think an acid treatment would be a good idea as well. Also, you tend to get other crud that builds up in the lines, so it’s good to blast that stuff out of there to keep things running efficiently
