Your perspectives are always welcomed as your life aboard your own yacht make you both so knowledgeable and your comparisons make it fun. Every tour with with America's favorite couple is fun!

I like boat living, and RV’s. The master Bed is great, too. Oh, damn, not for sale! I guess, flipping one of a lower price, is an option. Nice, Thanks for an inspirational video. The Catalina wine mixer worthy boat.

[@occultustactical6138]

This is one the best and cheapest live aboard boats you ever reviewed. Love it. Oh.... I just heard you say it’s not for sale. I knew it was too good to be true. There’s no way the owners could do all this work and sell it for $200k. Even if they got the boat for free. It’s clear they have a ton of talent.

Also put in Corian counters throughout and G series Raymarine electronics. It makes the boat look at least 10 years younger. People are amazed when they see it. So much room. My wife loves it.

[@easemailboxes]

If the stringers and transom are not rotten (or perhaps they are solid/not wood and cant rot?) as often happens in older neglected boats and the engines are not needing a rebuild restoration any time soon, (you did not talk about the engines much, how many hours etc) then this is a beautifully priced boat. Wish it was in Australia I would be interested to at least have a look. Its hard to say "what would you do differently" They have done a great job. I guess I would look at wanting to have easy removal of the rear deck to access the engines should the need so arise. Good video.

[@animistchannel2983]

We all ogled over the boat on the premier, so I'll comment on other matters. First, and I'm not usually fashion-guy, but I loved your big brass button jacket on this one. It's very captain-y, and you carry it well, Captain. Second, thank you both for taking such care to give us all those smooth, steady camera moves, especially on turnarounds and transitions. You don't jiggle, jump, or whip us about, and it moves at a pace that doesn't lose our place. That makes it both way more comfortable to experience, and easier to keep oriented to the layout. The difference is noticeable! Thank you for all your hard work and care to make these presentations the most enjoyable, and I'm looking forward to what you will have to show us next. Have a great week :)

[@rogerspalding5673]

The correct terminology for what you guys called a "toilet-shower combo" is "wet bath." Naturally, a conventional bathroom which has a separate stand-up shower and commode is known as a "dry bath." These short hand expressions have been used in the recreational vehicle community for many years. It is not uncommon for smaller RVs, or couples campers, to have wet baths due limited space considerations. The boating and RV industries share many such expressions. Your presentations are very polished and entertaining. Even though I am an RV enthusiast, I enjoy your vlogs very much.

[@NautiStyles]

It’s actually called a “wet head”... bath is always wet 🤣🤣🤣

However sometimes my head is turned by the odd one. This being one. You usually expect cramped conditions down below. This yacht has a very beautiful layout, and I love the updated look. I do like that you have shown before and after pics (cool touch). At the start of the video I wasn't sure if I'd like it. Instead I love it. Please pass on my compliments to the owners, they have done a 7 star job to a 26yr old vessel. I bet looked good in her day, but now. Thankyou for a great Walkthrough Victoria and Rico.
