@@jamesmarkley1860 I generally refrain from engaging in discussions like this on YT. But simply put I enjoy it because historically and statistically African Americans don't own yachts . In all my years around boats up and down the east coast I can count on one hand how many yacht owners of color I have met or seen. So to see someone who looks like me purchase something I see as aspirational gives me joy ....

I don't want nor do I need a boat of this size, BUT for YOU my brother I am jumping for joy at your purchase. All of us crabs are not pulling at the coat tails to remain in the bucket, but some of us are pushing for our fellow brothers and sisters to be enlightened and excel. As for me, happy and excited for you brother and many blessings to you and your family.

Congratulations brother! I plan on buying a yacht once I retire in a couple years. I’ve watched dozens of yachting KZitemrs over the past few years and yes you are the first brother I’ve come across to have a KZitem channel dedicated to yachting. Subscribed! One of the most important things you’ve shown in your video that I haven’t seen anyone else do is film the learning process of getting to know your yacht’s functions. That eliminates a lot of questions many viewers would have as well as not know to ask about. Thank you and perhaps we’ll run into each other sometime in the future.

As the son of a retired career Marine my family has always been involved in boating. Our first boat was a 15 ft wooden hull boat with a 50 horsepower outboard engine. Fast forward some 20 years and my father purchased a 1966 36 ft Chris Craft with twin gas engines that we spent several years restoring. Many years later we purchased another Chris Craft (project boat) this one a 46 ft with twin diesels. However work and other obligations did not allow us to renovate this particular vessel so we sold her. Fast forward another 8 to 10 years and we purchased a 30 ft Sea Ray cabin cruiser with twin gasoline engines but unfortunately this boat was destroyed (along with our entire Marina)in a hurricane. We eventually downsized to a 17 ft center console with a 90 horse Yamaha on the back. However due to health concerns we were no longer able to enjoy boating as we used to so we passed the boat along to another family member. So I know the joys headaches and hardships that come with the boating lifestyle and I'm proud to see others like me enjoying it too... Fair winds and following seas...🤙🏽

congratulations, beautiful boat. Hopefully you're an experienced operator, the pods are great for control and performance, but they have no protection so a log or even a soft grounding could rip one off and sink the boat. Just a word of caution, in no way wishing anything bad. Enjoy her, nothing better than traveling by water, most all boaters are friendly, good people.

I've already watched few videos thus far (love them all)! I own a 22" Bentley Pontoon Cruiser and was trying to bravely decide last year, should I try and attempt the Voyage to Bimini on it! Needless to say the wife told me you going solo Fool, not me baby! (lol)! I appreciate your openness to share your ventures during your viewing, inspection and purchasing process of beautiful vessels. Wishing you guys much success, safety, love and continued friendship. Maybe one day we get see you guys relaxing on many beautiful Island in South Florida or Bimini!

I love that boat …beautiful inside. Two questions 1) I’m concerned about the engine temp. I don’t trust anyone that would say that it just needs the coolant changed and flushed to fix the issue 2) why did the previous owner sell it? I wonder about the visibility out the front past a huge bow. Do you feel overly isolated from the water and surroundings at that helm station? Super beautiful and very clean
