2017 Princess F49 - Full review inc fuel and running costs. Is she economical on IPS?

[@andrewryder9642]

I love how balanced your reviews are. Even more so as you’re selling the boat. I laughed at your comment about the sock sofa being the only thing it’s useful for. As you said that I could hear the voice of another KZbinr saying “it’s a wonderful place to tuck yourself away with a good book”. I’ve often wondered how often someone would actually go and sit in a cabin to read a book.

[@Boatscouk]

Thanks Andrew. I like to be blunt and fun - so you know what a boat is really like 👍🏻

[@lovelifeloveboat]

Or, in the case of the real world use.... 'an uncomfortable place to try and sleep if you have a falling out mid cruise!!' Lol, Honestly the best reviews on the web IMHO (Sorry NB, yours are equally fab for so many different reasons!) Purely on the basis of socks, shout windows and floss tests - Every purchase is a compromise, yet when you prioritise these three things, it suddenly gets very much harder!

[@kfeltenberger]

Outstanding review and the breakdown of costs really was fantastic!

[@Boatscouk]

Thanks Kurt 🙏

[@TheSuprahuman]

Your honest review is much appreciated. I really like the galley on this one. So much room for activities as the saying goes. Satin walnut is always a winner.

[@zaksweeney5050]

Love this guys honest no nonsense funny reviews… Nice boat. Can’t wait to purchase mine from him next year…

[@raymondmalone9721]

Loving the scoring segment 👍 When my lottery win comes in and straight down to your office 🙏🤣

[@clifbradley]

This has to be the second most entertaining yacht channel on KZbin. It is the one I laugh at the very most though. E n y I subscribe after Nick (Aquaholic) told me to.

[@Boatscouk]

Thanks Cliff - I am trying to sell the boat too 😂

[@Nick_G7IZR]

2nd most entertaining? 🤣 Who is the first?

[@clifbradley]

@@Nick_G7IZR Sorry, but Jared Watney is massively entertaining. Maybe Nautistyles, but they don't have me laughing like you.

[@anthonybasiliere9366]

New to your channel. I just subscribed, not because of your charm but because I like the cost breakdown and the fuel consumption. Thanks for putting up with the heat and showing us around this beautifully built cruiser.

[@Boatscouk]

Thanks AB ! 😎 appreciated

[@patriciab3739]

Fantastic review...love this one - would be interested in seeing the 2018 model to compare.. this boat is fantastic condition for 2017.

[@georgesalmas4582]

Love your reviews, great combination of facts and humor

[@Boatscouk]

Thanks George 🙏

[@jessefitzpatrick2653]

I like. When you said the joy stick is for people who can’t drive boats. I totally agree

[@Boatscouk]

😂

[@jeffdutton2374]

Thank you, lovely boat and I enjoyed the costs and the outtakes as well.

[@chasrb64]

James your a legend. We watch you and and Aquaholic so much. You have the better socks

[@Boatscouk]

😂😂

[@Petrol.J]

Hi James! Ever since your dad took me flying in his Sukhoi the other day, I've been watching your reviews and I'm loving them!

[@lovelifeloveboat]

Your dad has an SU29 James? wow, never knew that! Lovethe reviews, keep them coming, and maybe, then a James in the rear of a Sukhoi - maverick Stylee?

[@Petrol.J]

@@lovelifeloveboat honestly it's wicked

[@Boatscouk]

@@lovelifeloveboat yes dad is 80 and flies a sukoi

[@lovelifeloveboat]

@@Boatscouk Thay is amazing and an awesome aircraft, I once had a play in one circa 1996 when 26s and 29s were first making appearances in the UK - Hats off to him and I can imagine he is still 'exploring the envelope'!!!!

[@davebuckman8841]

What a good fun and informative video one thought though.......on a boat that size I dint think you would be away for weeks on end so extra work surface rather than a freezer is a decent trade off. When my numbers come up ..........

[@MartinHelin]

5:50 The bow thruster is also controlled along with the IPS drives by the joystick when activated

[@Boatscouk]

Yup

[@rizwanrajput1993]

So wonderful nice to see you again God bless you james

[@Boatscouk]

🤩

[@marcoprospero5837]

Great vid again, lovely boat

[@ade-1772]

Great video and insight on how much these beautiful boats cos to run and i can't believe how much the running costs are just fuel that's crazy and I do hope electric motors come on alot quicker or even hydrogen engines so it's alot cheeper to run per mile and will help for free travel but tat will never happen to me there's always a price tag

[@Boatscouk]

Remember lots of these boats do short runs and are in anchor all day 😎

[@markgreen4560]

Well done james lovely boat.

[@lindsayprentice3759]

Hi James love it I only wish I could afford it have a great day lindsay xx

[@michaelmcgowan937]

Another great review.

[@robporter817]

I just love your videos, when I next buy a boat I’m definitely coming to you!

[@Boatscouk]

Thank you Rob 😎

[@genericusername2177]

Congrats on selling her already. Loved the video, wise decision chucking the socks, nice shirt👍

[@benlovesboats2854]

Joystick… “for people who can’t drive boats” hahaha love it!

[@Boatscouk]

True eh 😂

[@craiggibson2062]

Thanks for these, really interesting…..I do love to know what the potential costs are….lovely boat btw

[@kataroquasinzki7383]

There are light and breathable liner or no-show summer socks instead of those usual mid calf cotton pairs. You can give em a try, Jim!

[@Boatscouk]

Will do !

[@lovelifeloveboat]

We were worried that you were going to fall off the back there James!!

[@danbarton7731]

Bine ai ajuns pe pamant romanesc! Stiai ca intre 1934-1939 Saranda a fost parte a Romaniei, fiind o concesie catre statul roman facuta de regele Zog I lui Nicolae Iorga in semn de apreciere fata de activitatea sa stiintifica legata de istoria Albaniei?

[@rcocm]

No one does 'em quite like you James 🤣👍

[@KevinAmatt]

Wow, like the boat. Also it looks like you’ve lost weight. Congratulations!

[@Boatscouk]

I was breathing in

[@timessix8434]

Beautiful boat, is very close to what I am after. But no A/V equipment in the cabins?

[@Boatscouk]

We can add that

[@desfalon3898]

What book comes with the 799k princes ? Could well be interested

[@Boatscouk]

Indian cooking 🥘

[@cookiemonster2299]

12:07 I'm wondering what's the sleek looking boat with the dark blue stripe?

[@Boatscouk]

Sunseeker Superhawk 50

[@jut7030]

What does the extra 100k buy me on the 2018 model, a year younger or that and a better spec?

[@Boatscouk]

Yes both 😎

[@Millie-md4jk]

Love the socks

[@Boatscouk]

Really comfy actually 😂

[@machiavellian7490]

Does anyone actually use those boat bbq’s? Can you show us something being cooked on one? Is it a one cook never use again thing?

[@Boatscouk]

They don’t get used much 😂

[@martinbirdiebrain1912]

What no bacon on those socks! Send them back and get a refund 😂 Oi Dan! Burnham has a copyright on the wave in the heads mirror 😂 Oi James! The towel was on the bed for the floss test, 😂 Costs! If you need to ask, you can’t afford it, simple as that, Lovely boat James, maybe one day if the euro millions comes in 👌🏻

[@Boatscouk]

You are right on everything 😂😂 need bacon !

[@lovelifeloveboat]

They are definitely, like, vegetarian, socks without don't you think! What I would have loved is the conversation with the team after 'Who covered the stain up on the fitted quilt cover with that towel????? (Thinks to self... how many times have I brushed something under a chair in the office lol)

[@jamiefrost3338]

Beautiful. The boat not James 😎

[@tpaulfelder1]

Sound ??????

[@ryanalley2446]

Is it just me or is the sound quality really soft in this video. I think the mic is way too low down.

[@Boatscouk]

Ok will try higher

[@ralgor100]

the sound is intermittant, sometimes quiet sometimes to loud

[@Boatscouk]

Soz. Using rode 2

[@tpaulfelder1]

I enjoy the videos especially the costs run down but your audio levels are all over the place. Very annoying

[@Gordonlangoy]

Are you planning on making video like this on the v40 including fuel and running costs? 😄

[@Boatscouk]

Already filmed a v40 video - check it out 😎

[@Gordonlangoy]

@@Boatscouk Already saw it, it’s great 😄 but there’s nothing on fuel consumption and running costs, and I’m really curious about that 😄

[@Boatscouk]

@@Gordonlangoy yes that’s true - let me see if I can do another later

[@sharonbraselton3135]

B u y it

[@gooner1ization]

Low sound, very difficult to hear and my laptop volume was right up.

[@Boatscouk]

Ok will sort

[@michaelaronsohn3624]

Where's the promised lazerette

[@Boatscouk]

It was by the platform

[@Mantekz6]

Is it possible to buy it with crypto ?

[@sharonbraselton3135]

Yes

[@mikewoods1313]

So funny 😆

[@ririshow]

What is the point of reviewing a boat on land?

[@Boatscouk]

Fair point 😂

[@rizwanrajput1993]

nice socks 😜

[@DamirAlexanderZajec]

i keep on pressing the subscribe button but then i'm unsubscribed again... why dont you want me to remain a subcriber to your channel?

[@Boatscouk]

Just once is enough 😊

[@PhilbyFavourites]

Subbed, purely for the joystick description 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🛥 And on the cost basis I’m sticking with my Swift Trawler 34. 60 litres an hour at 15kts and at displacement speed 7kts just under 10 litres and hour. To put it into car parlance, for overall usage it works out at about 2 mpg.

[@Boatscouk]

Great boat Phil 👍🏻
