Incredable❤❤❤

Maintenance wise, fiber composite/aluminum/steel, which hull material proves to be less costly in the long run?

Your videos are rare precious gems in the maritime ocean of vessels market where in 10 out of 10 cases everything is painted in gold while you show that to keep the gold shining one ought to get rid of the never ending rusting process underneath- and the costs involved!

Don't show her underway? Why knott?

Something to be said about giving it all up and moving to a live-aboard lifestyle, there’s something else that could be said about spending 25% of your video begging for money to help you do so… but I’ll be polite and not say it.

Beautiful vessel. Previous owner did a very nice job.

Nice presentation. Thank you.

Not interested KZbin. Economics

I grew up in Manatee County (Bradenton), and boated those beautiful waters for decades❣🥰 I miss Egmont Key a d SandDollar Island (Passage Key). Passage Key was once the twin size of Egmont and contained freshwater Springs. Ships would stop and replenish their water supply❣🤩

CONGRATS !!! You've done a wonderful job restoring/upgrading your boat. 😎👍 🇨🇦

I like the pre checks I'd like to own a big boat someday

I came over from Brandons channel

43,140 lb approximately 19,400 kg, or 19,5 tons... Definitely not a 1,134 kg which actually little bit over 1 ton.

I came over here from Brandons tour of your boat . Very nice , I could live on there if i had a better budget ! Lol

Brandon sent me!❤ I'm now subscribed!

No link to a listing in the description. Why bother?

The owner has taken really good care of that boat. It also feels a LOT bigger than 44 feet.

I just came over from Brandon’s channel. I can’t wait to watch your vlogs.

Gosh love this boat. Nice job showing it

New to trawlers and bout to live aboard one on the chesapeake. Dig your vids. Really like your setup you think very similar to me. Lots of safety gear, multi extinguisher. Practical setup. Only one ive seen that doesnt make sense is the love seat. 2500$ F#@k that you definitely coulda built your own for few hundred. If you dont know how to sew get a machine and learn they save you so much long term with everything from cushions to fixing clothes to sunbrella repair replacement ect...

I ❤ your presentation so much, I've subscribed. I wish all presentations could be like this. Great boat

Great series!

You could have easily just skippered the boat through the OWS, but I'm so glad you took the time to educate the viewers on the importance of Okeechobee. Great work!

I love Defever and i hate their prices. Always costing 35%+ above others in same category.

I'm curious what your day job is that allows you to live this lifestyle.

great video, No throttle just in gear, out of gear. thats how you park a boat.

what marina is this at?

Lovely ship! No wing engine! It’s like 0:30 range anxiety on an electric car.

Look how over crowded FL is. If Kamala gets elected, you will se another 100 million squatting here.

Love the florida sucks shirt

Tasteful upgrades. Great boat! I'm not always the biggest trawler. My dad had a small one - I think it was a new 80s Albin - maybe a 270(?). It had its moments. We all liked the mid cockpit that was very sailboat like, with the bare bones rear cabin that was IIRC, Just a birth. Wet head, raw water flush w/hand pump. It was full-on roughing it.

I really love the yacht. Really love it - once aboard. I hate saying negative things about beautiful yachts, so I'll just call it "critique". ;) It's just that I never cared for that era of yacht design - like hi-top sneakers. It was all due to the silly shape of the windows. All the builders (regular production that is) all did it. I dunno why, but I blame Sea Ray for that look. Hatteras should have gone with an original, classic, look and bucked that trend. They looked like all the regular production boats (i.e.,Sea Ray, etc.). Couldn't tell one from another at 50 yards. But when Sea-Ray started sloping their bows downward. What the?! *+&=*# argh! It proved that they were never intended to be used as anything but luxury "look at me! lake boats" OTOH, I LOVED the last Hatteras M90' Panacera (2019 or 2020, maybe 2021?). Now, THAT vessel is handsome! They managed to make it contain a lot of new excellent features, and new crisp, sharp lines of yore that give me that feel I was looking at the unmistakable style. That Hatteras look" baby! The boat you're featuring here, along with any of the classic 30-50'+MYs look interchangeable, and did not inspire ocean-faring sea worthiness (just be strategic about weather en route. In fact, before you even depart the slip.

I was just thinking of the guy who posted to one of your videos, "you were in the gulf, not the ocean." and was about to roll my eyes until I remembered correcting my mom (parent's had a beach house on Anna Maria), "mom, it's not the ocean, it's the gulf.". 😂 Great video. On vacations we'd all be on the island. We had a family tradition going back to the 80s of walking along the beach to The Sandbar for sunset dinners and Happy Hours. Great times!

Great job - and learned a lot about FL. 👍

Very nice! Edit: 8:00 Yes, crystal-clear water in Okeechobee! 😂

12:20 Thank you! You were right indeed. This Texan loved hearing those Cats spool-up!

Love Kadey Krogens!

request Nordhavn or Bering

"We have"

Great footage. So funny, you have a friend called Dougie Fresh. That’s the same name of @floatnthang (personal floats) founder. Known at Scorpion Bay, Marina, Lake Pleasant, AZ Dougie Fresh. Also from Marco / Capri Fla.

Single engine on a boat that size?

I know this video is older but I hope you have Starlink by now

Great tour. Congrats on the sale of the Defever, the 44 is one of my favs. However there is no shortage of well kept Krogens (owners have $$ usually and they are made well)- Actually the Island Trader next door was impressive as they are often let go and frankly build quality was questionable. Good luck with your next boat- as we say "two best days for boat owners" and you get them close together- hahhahaa enjoy.

Our son is a firefighter in Mad Beach!

Rather have an aluminum toe rail with holes as in a sailboat for utility teak toe rails are for boat shows . In fact a lot of appearance items on any boat are just for boat show sales . I ought to know I have owned two sailboat distributor companies. If you are a newbie always take an old salt dog like me you a show . Because I will steer you clear of feature shoals that would make life on board less pleasant 😎

Those motors will need rebuild at 12-15k hours not 15-20k hours you said at least not if you ever want to rebuild them rebuild at 12-15k hours insures the ability to continue to be able to rebuild them in the future yes they can go that far 15-20k hours but usually isn't much left of it that's rebuild able the blocks will wear an fail that's usually what takes them out that and people adding additional crankcase ventilation holes in the cast block that will require block replacement ie; complete new motor but yes they are great engines an can last a 100years of service when looked after properly ya got a nice boat sad I don't have the cash to releave of it but best of luck to all I'll get there one day

Mint omg no expense sparred amazing boat so much in 44

Loaded id like the 58

Neat boat. I am more of a sailboat person but these boats are super neat.

What an amazing boat and in what a great condition. Looks like I have a lot of work ahead of me to bring our boat to that condition. What was the asking price for this one, just so that I have a reference ?
