Nice vintage boat. I'd have trouble with such confined space. As a land based person, I couldn't help thinking how inefficient I am in my home space. I look at this and realize one could live aboard and use this efficient space. I wonder why I have so much space allocated to just two people, but it is what I am used to. But it is kind of silly given many rooms I just use occasionally. But then I like the variety.

[@jonathanscott550]

I would be totally comfortable in this boat

[@jacobfoster9185]

They were bunks.The definition is a narrow shelflike bed either alone, aside others or most commonly associated with one stacked upon another. Much like the magazine for a gun is the container holding the ammunition but a large building holding ammunition is also a magazine. I really appreciate the work that you do and especially the way that you do it. I'm subscribed to several similar channels and whenever one has a boat that I like I immediately look to see if you have covered it because the style of your art is....comforting? As well as perfectly paced and you go much further into the specifics that I'm interested in without bogging down the rhythm. I hope that you and those you care for are happy, healthy, and safe this new year. Semper Fidelis P.S Please forgive me for any misspellings words that are out of context or poor punctuation. I lost my hand in Afghanistan so now I dictate rather than type and the program is not perfect.

Show more of the older well maintained affordable yachts. Always good to see some of these classics out there.

This is lovely! We appreciate the affordable series videos very much. It warms my heart to see the older vessels with so much character and warmth so well cared for.

[@NautiStyles]

Awwww sooo happy to hear!

[@TomClark-Futoura]

I bought a boat to live on and it was great, for a while. You have to be prepared to spend more on upkeep, slip fees and utilities, etc. than a house. And unlike the fact that a house will appreciate in value, a boat won't. In other words, be prepared to lose all your investment!

[@TomClark-Futoura]

@@maceryker6012 I bought a boat to be an investment -- an investment in my desire to be on the water, sail, surf and travel. Starship, as it was named, was a 45-foot ketch. And it returned my investment many times over. But I knew as a monetary investment, it would never make me a penny. And I was fine with that.

[@tracyquarterley2435]

I just love the vintage boat tours, more of these please! We are restoring a 1988 42 foot Bertram, previously owned by a professional baseball player! Classic and nostalgic❤

[@NautiStyles]

Noted 🙏💙

[@AaronSmith-kr5yf]

Pocket doors on land go back A LONG TIME. I know older Victorian era homes built in the 1870's/1880's in my area have them. Usually they seperate the front "parlor" from the dining room that is directly behind it. IE if you were entertaining back in the day, once supper was finished you moved into the parlor, closed the pocket doors while the help cleared the table.

[@JJ9715]

For a 1983 model, it has been tastefully updated and looks like it has been maintained very well!! I loved watching the tour as well!! 👍👍

[@NautiStyles]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@marvindebot3264]

You have never heard of Morse Controls? Teleflex Morse have been making Bowden Cable control systems since the Bowden Cable was invented. IIRC they are the oldest maker of cable control systems still in business, almost every sub 30 metre commercial vessel of that age and older in the UK, Australia, Canada and New Zealand used Morse Controls. In fact, Bowden cables are more commonly known as Morse cables in many countries. In some markets, Teleflex Morse are now known as Kongsberg but it's the same company.

[@dmforsuh9314]

Nice one!

[@brianrogers6059]

I have owned 3 powerboats and 3 sailboats here in SoCal, all off them have had Morse controls and cables. Can be a bitch to replace the cables due to how they are routed, but the norm OEM for most boats in the US. Done with this couple, no clue on boats and suggesting people to buy a boat to live on as opposed to a house. I spend more on my boat than my 1.5 mil house, these videos are totally misleading, btw both my boat and house are both paid for.

[@marvindebot3264]

Agreed, the rule of thumb is 10% of the value in maintence per year but in the case of cheap boats it will be more more like 20 to 25 percent. @@brianrogers6059

[@steveowens398]

A lot of the folks who watch your channel (like me) dream about having a live-aboard vessel like this. At this price range, quite a few of us, especially those selling property with plans to retire, could make the switch. This boat is old but has been well cared for, and could provide great memories to a new family hoping to get out on the water. Thanks for this series - I think a lot of us appreciate it. I do at least. BTW, is it for sale? I don't think you said.

[@PatrickWagz]

It's for sale. Listing is in the video description.

[@robertsloane1268]

Superb old girl.. looks like she has been taken care of very well. Lots of old school varnished wood, 125hp engines. You know that's from the 80s 40 year boat she appears to aged very well. Love the old school stern She would be a great large lake vessel, overnights, with ski boats and grand kids. Victoria you looked amazing in the stripe outfit. And legs 🦵 for days❤

[@Joe_1sr9]

The parquet wood flooring throughout looks in very good condition. I’d have this boat in a blink of an eye.

[@NautiStyles]

We agree!

[@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665]

Adding a 10mm cork sea deck outside and above the main aft cabin would make this vessel look great not only is it super grippy even more than teak it lasts as long ..it's great under foot cushions the feet and protects the deck surface against dropped items and footwear. It insulates against sound, heat gain and loss it's also non toxic and flame retardant ... recyclable. 🤷🏻🧙🏻‍♂️ As for pocket doors definitely in Victorian and Edwardian houses. Probably industrial and farm buildings as well on boats and other such .. 50s 60s definitely 70s on in caravans and boats. A nice older boat for a couple or a family.. balistic polycarbonate panels could make those side rails safe and keep the weather off and still keep a clear view where required. That aft deck roof is perfect for solar even walk on . The engine room is supremely practical..because you can get round stuff and those engines were often found in tractors if not mistaken.... So sloggers. Following this boat owners maxim , a boat is for life not just a fling..😉 Going wild there's plenty of space to even go electric diesel generator drive .. probably increasing performance, efficiency and removing noise, vibration and fumes. And if anyone says that's not going to work I can give you two excellent examples from Japan or Korea and a 61 ft steel live aboard built for a guy who lives in Norway all year round and whose slow cruising philosophy means his generators burn 0.5 litres per hour in powering the e motors ... I'm checking that again I'm still 😮 the modern patrol boat works out at 30% more fuel efficient.. 🧙🏻‍♂️🏞️

The best thing about your channel is affordable live aboard. There's lots of channels showing boats that can't be afforded, but you always come up with affordable boats in great condition.

[@PreservationEnthusiast]

They neatly sidestep marina fees, constant maintenance, depreciation, repairs etc. Owning a boat is a bottomless money pit. Hardly affordable.

[@NautiStyles]

Thanks for sharing!

[@nickgreen1271]

Could not believe the size of the gallery, that was amazing for a small yacht. Plus all the deck space. Cracking little place to live.

[@NautiStyles]

a great vessel for sure!!

[@Spudeaux]

Not sure when pocket doors would have started appearing on boats, but I would think they have been used for quite some time. My house was built in 1913 and was built with pocket doors, as well as many others around that are older.

[@NautiStyles]

👌🏼🙏💙

[@lawrencefoster5608]

I have a idea that I'll never be able to do because of my poverty and injury. You know the thick plastic that tuna comes in,I have used them for a wallet for decades because they keep everything dry. If you put a zipper,zip-lock on it and you could put your own art on them and even make them collectable and call them " Dry-Doc" ( get it ,dry document's). It's perfect for you two. On more thing is that the bottom corners is the part that wears out first so you might want to redesign them a little bit,or not. But I have had this idea for a long time. I am good with art and liked the idea of putting my art out there. Super cheap.

[@NautiStyles]

Per Victoria's question, The Pocket Door was first invented/introduced in the 1850's in the U.S. then in England during the Victorian era.

[@barrysaiff8475]

It’s a nice, affordable, classic yacht. It’s actually 52’ long. Usually I am enthralled by the wood on these old boats, but this one not so much. It’s workable and a good value.

[@danpollak1719]

what would be the approximate costs to keep this boat at marina and upkeep for a year?

[@ERNIE555]

😂😂😂😂

[@petesheppard1709]

The way the interior opened up as you went down the hatch was startling! This is a very comfortable looking boat; the wood interior has me relaxing while just looking. I would like to see some sort of multifunction plotter at the interior helm to present more information and help situational awareness. This really jumps to the top of my 'like' list!

[@johnjcoxiii9401]

FYI...Many Victorian Era homes in the US and Great Britain had pocket doors between the Dining and "Sitting" Rooms for separation. Always large, when opened the two rooms became one for celebrations like Family Christmas, Weddings, Dances, etc. AND PLEASE continue the affordable CLASSIC series!

[@rob224]

Not sure when pocket doors were first in production but when I started my job with a door company in Stockton California in 1978 they were widely utilized and common.

[@erikvaldur3334]

I've seen large pocket doors in homes from the 1800s here in Pennsylvania. They do go way back. Most memorable one was a large, 6' at least opening that was a double pocket door. One on each side. It closed off the Parlor from the rest of the house. Unfortunately they no longer functioned so they were stuck in the open position.

[@NautiStyles]

🤯🤯🤯

[@jeffreymorrell6574]

I had pocket doors in the house in St Pete Florida that was built in 1928. They were original.

[@the-chillian]

Pocket doors have been around forever. My house was built in 1965, and it has a few pocket doors. So did my grandparents' house, which was built in 1955. I've even seen them in 19th century houses. I can't imagine they've been all that rare in boats since that time, since it's a pretty obvious way to add a door if you have limited room for one to swing open.

[@christerman]

A single person could definitely be comfy on this boat. A couple might find it a little cozy. If you live in FL or SoCal, you have the use of the aft cockpit mostly year around, but in a more temperate climate, you'd only really have the saloon and aft stateroom.

Nothing better than hanging out at a marina. Thanks for sharing.

[@animistchannel]

That's a charming cozy yetsetup for a 45, especially getting 3 cabins with the split arrangement like that, yet there are still enough different areas to get out of each other's way. That's a viable home for a small family. I wonder what the slip fees are around the Gulf region these days...

[@mikew6765]

Morse controls have been around a long time. Before everything went electric and digital they were the industry standard. Also, all the old boat brochures referred to the bedding in the forward cabin as "V Berths". 17' is quite a large beam for a 52'. I imagine it rides really nice.

Such a classic with almost everything I would look for in a live-aboard yacht. My only changes might be to add as much solar as possible and a couple of masted wind turbines amidship. With the planned use my partner and I have I would add a good sonar and radar in the inside helm and satellite Internet for both extended weather, comm, and hazard warnings, as well as to facilitate my ability to work from aboard ( I'm a science fiction writer and have to both back up work and transmit files to my editors and published. But what a way to live as a writer with my beautiful partner free to roam in a home such as this!
