Speed also equals LOTS of $$$$ and LOTs of fuel.

"As deep as 25 feet". I know this is an old review but their website states a max operating depth of 40m (130 feet). I can see issues with using scuba equipment - a novice diver could easily ascend / descend too quickly. Personally I'd be very careful combining the two and only dive shallow - freediving with a Seabob would be my choice. Yes theyre expensive but youre probably paying for testing and QA. I wouldnt want to have a unit fail while in the deep.

I was just researching the Beneteau swift trawler line. They made a swift trawler 50 and now they make a swift trawler 48 . The difference in interior space between both boats is amazing .The 50 is so much bigger. Now I noticed that the newer swift 48 has regular shaft drives again where the older 50's only come with pod drives. That of course makes you wonder why Beneteau the largest boat builder in the world after all goes back from pods to shafts. Maybe someone who reads this knows more about that ?

ok don't buy a trawler. take your million dollars and your 100k a year running cost budget and pump it into a nice big sports boat. Oh you only have 200k and a 20k annual budget - I'm really not interested in you.

this man is drunken ....

Thanks for the video! I have a few questions… 1: How do I find the true value for the boat I’m wanting to purchase? 1985 Beneteau 42 First RACU 9.3tons Hull ID. BEY02300C585 Perkins diesel engine 46 Hp 2: Where can I find insurance for a boat this size and its age? Boat is located in Panama City, Fl. I would like to leave the boat in Panama for a few months until I’m ready to move it to Mobile, Al. Any tips or pointers would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Avoid listening to people like this.

The ips on my princess is a game changer. Plenty of power, they screw forward, the efficiency is great.

Are you wearing a hairpiece? If so lose it.

Far too much for it's size. You can buy a car for that.

You lost me at "some models on the boat who don't really know what they're talking about." stop the sexism in boating.

Spoken by someone who 1) has never lost the use of their boat for a season because of a bad microchip that was unavailable 2) hasn’t had to deal with the dramatic increase in maintenance costs - recurring revenue stream for the yards and manufacturers who maintain them 3) assumes they’re as reliable as other more traditional drive systems - they’re not 4) is apparently unaware of the massive issues associated with a particular manufacturer of pods

we are looking for a 62

This video isn't helpful or useful at all. Stupid music you're a lazy clown

Good to know... when we purchase we will call ya:-)

You obviously have no direct long term experience. POD seal replacement $9k - $14k per pod. To replace to and bottom seal you have to remove the entire pod actuator since top and bottom seals must be replaced. If water got into the actuator then you are talking 35k and up to replace or rebuild. Plus when any of these events occur which do frequently it can take 2 months to fix. Imagine if the boat is 100s of miles from home. None if these isses with shafts and thrusters with joystick option as well.

Looks like a lot of work

Cool video thank you, you know damn well if you have money for a yacht, money to fill it up, you definitely have money to pay mechanic to change your oil! I would personally take enjoyment in doing it though ,that's the difference! People that have so much money don't know the characteristics and fundamentals of doing any mechanical tasks

THE PRICE OF THIS THING IS CRAZY ! I HAVE 4 SUBLUE NAVBOW UNDERWATER SCOOTERS. THERE ARE GREAT, AND VERY, VERY MUCH CHEAPER

The price is so stupid. I have a gas water scooter and 2 electric Yamaha water scooters and they are perfect for what I do. $16k for a stupid little water scooter. This is something that only rich people would buy for their yachts. No normal people are buying this.

That’s it, I’m building one for Americans!! Are you guys cool with $1800 for a basic package?

Can the price of a new yacht be negotiated and how much margin can the manufacturer lose? I’m thinking of the Azimut Grande 32.

Yacht salespeople are in reality realtors.

Are pods better or worse than straight shaft in bad sea conditions ?

I don't have a boat, but been on few and they always tell current depth. How do people run aground with sensors telling you approximate depth of water to damage the pods ?

Can you provide us an updated video? I would be beneficial to see where prices, sales, duration on market is today.

Troller?

For 10,000$ I’ll go buy a boat 😂

Everything I saw in this video can be done with a more affordable DPV.

Yea for $10,000!? Hell no!

Can you say “Nordhavn & Grand Banks” brokers? I’ve experienced both first hand this past year.

because they are luxury items. the market are the rich people thats why they are expensive. they make those gimmicky features inside the boat that you can easily do or not really important features and give it a high price. if you just want to experience the sea and do everything a luxury yacht can do. build your own boat. it will cost fraction of the price if you buy a luxury one. aluminum is not cheap but aint too expensive either.

You forgot to mention recharge times.

at 0:55 - You have a wife and a girlfriend??? Who cares about pods then?

Yacht investment is absolutely not good investment for start ups, it is capital intensive, depreciating asset subject to market conditions wish i can get a better investment plan at least to afford the dream life

Pff for this price you can buy yourself a nice speedboat...

I never did hear back from you. What happened to my grandfathers yacht in its next phase of life?

cool product, ridiculous price. You would just buy a traditional sea scooter and keep some spare 12v Lithiums on board. Clearly the target market is the cashed up, yacht owners... fairs, fair.

Your comment also applies to the sailboat.

I just want a sleeping beauty

For 16k i can get an old jetski and scuba certified with full scuba gear and have money leftover for lunch

After you help me find a Regal 46 Coup quit you day job and do stand up! :)

I have a San Lorenzo dealer right in front of where I live in Fort Lauderdale. I see them all here constantly. Thanks for the vid. That 10 and I’ll round it to 15 numbers I’ll never forget 😊

🤣

To save the viewer 3 minutes - he basically says 'trawlers go slow"

Lmao he sailed his next yacht into a fishing boat and then fired his crew after and refused to pay anyones medical expenses. Then died.

PYRAMID SCHEMER, MADE A BUNCH OF MONEY AND CROAKED, END OF STORY...

i wonder if this clown likes pods

Totally worth it!

RIP to one of the most successful MLM runners.
