£64,000 Yacht Tour : 2013 Jeanneau Leader 8

This is a more modern version of my own boat, so not only a boat I like very much, but also interesting to spot the differences and upgrades.

It would be cool to make more reviews of smaller more affordable boats from Jeaneau, Regal, Sea Ray, etc. Thank you!!🤗🛥

[@EdBonds]

Agreed - just found your channel, and found your tour / costing of your boat brilliant and the only one i have found on youtube. There are loads of US videos, or real bargain videos on boating (ribs etc) but little on this size!

[@danielhasson6985]

I agree 100%

[@kevinwells768]

just to agree with the comment above and those replies below. Mega-million pound floating hotels of little interest to me, but family cruisers: yes please. Currently binge-watching your smaller boat reviews and replaying that costing video multiple times.

[@luisguzman2857]

Sea ray became expensive

[@g.a.c.6488]

It’s 4:02 am in LA and I have never been happier to wake up to the bell of a new video from Nick. Keep it up. I Love em

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Will do! :)

[@dubnrub]

@@AQUAHOLIC Agreed, thanks again Nick!

[@jennifurzoe1302]

4:40am in East L.A.,didn't wanna ruin 13 thumbs up.

[@blewyd]

3:56 for me 👍 Edit: I'm in NYC though

[@g.a.c.6488]

blewyd hey nick looks like we got a new fan

[@Luisa-gx6js]

now this is what i LOVE to see, a super nice boat but still affordable. love watching your vid though the covid stuff thanks for that man. keep it up!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Thanks for watching!

[@tomhand8517]

That’s brilliant can see why you went for this type. Seems realistic price wise to! Your doing a brilliant job reviewing by far the best and most down to earth reviewer! Stay safe

[@Kennethah81]

This is definitely a boat I can see myself owning a few years down the line. It's small and handy enough to use as a day boat, fast enough to cover some miles in a hurry should the fancy take you, and got enough amenities for a small family to go away for the weekend or even a week or two. Very nice blend of practicality and design too! :)

[@memekulittv5164]

Yes and take me when you have a boat 😊

[@robashton8606]

Glad to see I'm not the only one sporting a quarantine beard.

[@mattinelson]

Every guy is growing a lockdown beard just for a laugh! Work Zoom calls are hilarious!

[@benwilson7351]

I’ve been watching and following your channel for about a month. Having never really had an appreciation for boats I found it fascinating when I first stumbled on your content and now I can’t get enough! The engineering, interior design and ingenious use of space on most boats is fantastic and a joy to watch. I look forward to many more videos when normality resumes and keep up the great work! Thanks

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Welcome aboard!

[@manoman0]

Another great video, no annoying, silly and distracting music, no annoying cuts and editing, no bs, just content. Be well, sir.

[@superyachtchef]

So glad that I've been bullet with elements of the military during the lockdown - I have access to an abundance of talented Barbers. Anyway, this is such an affordable and just beautiful boat, really happy to see the developments and ofcourse you again. Thanks Nick

[@garethchild]

Personally, I’m not convinced about petrol for boats - but other than that I do like this one. I’m going to struggle making the decision between this and a Sunseeker 131 when I finally win the lottery... 😉

[@RonLarhz]

You can mode it into dual type solar and gas/petrol. Seems like there's enough room for a solar battery/generator +engine...

[@visionist7]

Drop an old Mercedes V12 in there. 400hp & 40 knots. Maybe

[@FoDaddy]

For a boat this size gasoline engines are fine. Even for considerably larger boat they would be okay. My uncle had a 55 or 56 ft (~17 meter) boat at one point initially his had a pair of 7.4L gasoline/petrol engines. He and my aunt went up and down the intercoastal waterway thee times with the petrol engines. After about a decade of ownership, when he was having the boat refitted, he had the petrol engines replaced with Cat diesels. Wasn't cheap, but it did save on fuel costs, I don't know if he ever broke even or not before he sold the boat. Of course this is in the U.S. were petrol prices are reasonable.

[@garethchild]

FoDaddy I’ve owned 45 & 57 ft boats, and just find diesel so much easier - and far less hazardous, especially with older boats. In my smaller boat, the engine was underneath a cabin...

[@garethchild]

RonLarhz I would be all over a solar powered boat. They need more efficient cells than are commercially available right now, though.

[@Ogregamin]

Very nice little boat. This one I seriously can see myself looking at in ten years time. Thanks for the review again Nick, lovely as always!

[@catlee8064]

Now that is a nice boat. More my price range!

[@tobyben6431]

Very very nice boat and, for once, actually in a not totally out of reach way. I like how much more welcoming the interior looks just due to a few adjustments in lighting. Could imagine having very nice weekends with my better half during the season. Also great tour as always, thank you very much for this little gem!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

You're very welcome :)

[@manoman0]

I can totally relate to that. I do the same.

[@calebm.5698]

Take a shot every time he says that haha

[@justin.s9783]

It's kind of funny how little things can make so much difference in something. Like built in shades and fly screens, easier access to something like the engine. A lot of that stuff is powered now days but i kind of like the manual versions. Don't have to worry about motors going bad. Good vid .

[@martigrey5872]

Thanks for a nice affordable boat. Nice to see.

[@amandaashton5444]

Lovely boat much prefer the asymmetric side decks than the walkthrough windscreen. Thanks Nick

[@mikehotchkiss8975]

Great to see a review of an obtainable boat. Thank you

[@alstoolchest6290]

I really enjoyed looking at this Jeanneau. It looks perfect for a bit of weekend boating. Also very manageable for a family to run and enjoy 👍😎

[@steveSmith-pd4st]

Cracking day boat for a run out with the family or friends, or maybe both. The only drawback for me is the petrol engine, my first boat had one and it absolutely drank fuel even at low speeds, it was diesel after that! Great review of the updated version of SB2 Nick.

[@johnspecht72]

Thank you for sharing your expertise and personal experience Mr. Burnham.. Very well done!

[@analysise1479]

Ive started watching all your boating reviews now. Reminds me of my childhood on the water, though I haven't been back on a boat in a few decades. Certainly I would like a small cuddy cabin with a galley and small shower. It's really nice to see you enjoying what you are doing! Hits the heart strings. Keep it up! :)

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Glad you like them! 🙂

[@jk3253]

I love seeing more affordable boats! I would be interested in seeing more sailboats and catamarans

[@marsupix3554]

Nice. Finally something within my price range. A boat that I could afford if I wanted one. Thank you for the review!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

No problem!

[@r.a.monigold9789]

Same here - just past 4 AM in Oregon - best part of waking up is Aquaholic on your screen (apologies to Folgers for paraphrasing). Nice "upgrade" but I see you on that Princess you've mentioned. Thank you again, Nick. You're doing a fine job of keeping our appetite for boats wet... BTW, (4/28) my son's Birthday today, also an Aquaholic - so Happy Birthday, Dude.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Happy birthday junior! :)

[@jwhitaker1507]

Thanks for another great tour, have an absolutely fabulous Tuesday.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

You too!

[@brooklynbaby5819]

Reasons to buy: Cheap, Good looking, Maybe not so good for living but for parties it is! Good specs.

[@jackirichard414]

Nice looking boat

[@jamarie1972]

Very nice, surprisingly large sleeping area. Nice view of Torquay marina. Stay safe Nick and everyone.

[@MINECRAFTFANTASTISTEVE]

we would like to see this kind of boat more!!

[@keseltje]

Nice boat,thanks Nick!

[@AQUAHOLIC]

No problem 👍

Clever update of a clever boat....

[@brothermeh840]

Your narration is so so precise and useful. Thank you.

My father bought Jeanneau Merry Fisher 480 and we're putting her on the water this Friday. I'm really looking forward to it..

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Awesome, enjoy!

[@chrish2996]

Hi Nick. Your is a classic design, this one is a copy of an already fantastic boat, like the blue hull. Very nice. Thanks.

[@bethmerryfield7186]

Thank you, Nick. Take care

[@TheSuprahuman]

Good to see you back out and about Nick (on a boat that is). Onwards and upwards, boats to be viewed :) Cheers

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Sadly not, this was pre lockdown

[@TheSuprahuman]

@@AQUAHOLIC Aha, pre lockdown, post beard. Got me fooled :)

[@Slash1066]

A lot of boat at a price achievable for many. Very tempting indeed.

[@sanusiantanani2305]

Thanks Nick, I am actually scouting for a small boat with high speed cruising 45 to 50 knots, but with cabin. I am attracted to Scarab 255 and 285, they have the power but no closed cabin.

[@dreammfyre]

“When I pay for a view I except something more interesting than that.” “That’s Torquay, Madame.”

[@nigelheath7048]

I walked around the harbour this morning for my excercise. Used to have a boat moored in the inner harbour.

[@christiano8088]

BaaaaaasiLLLLL!

[@wlw113]

please more videos like this so in this price category. really nice video.

[@chrisoleary9876]

Thanks Nick! Keep the beard! I have one (and have for years.) I know they're itchy at first, but that goes away...you look great!

[@Enochthegreat71]

Very nice and enough for anyone wanting a very smart boat.

[@3mbrik]

Sorry i havent been on and watching all your new videos for a while. Just as amazing as allways

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Welcome back!

[@zucods]

That's a nifty bit of kit! I like the smaller boats better, I think. Cheers!

[@LMays-cu2hp]

Looking very nice for a yacht the same as yours with a few changes. Nice.

[@franciscampone3687]

Great tour as usual, pack a lot in at an affordable price.

[@DELLIOSUK]

I think this highlights the absolute value you can get in the second hand market . This is a nice boat but if it was my money i would take your one every day of the week ,cheaper to run under half the price wont depreciate as much and more reliable ,obviously this is much more modern craft but inevitably it will do exactly the same job when at sea . great vids ty.

[@user-nw5rf4km3t]

dear brother Abu you have an amazing ability in the yacht show

[@carolinehyndes7043]

Rocking the beard there, I love your walkthroughs on boats.

[@conradsenior5843]

You are a huge asset. Always interesting reviews. Thank you.

[@AQUAHOLIC]

Good video, the evolution is interesting, clever. Thanks as always. Take care and stay safe. 🚢🛥⛴🛳🚤⛵⚓👍👍👍😎

[@garethhart8383]

Nice boat, just what i was thinking of, once again a great video Nick

[@8MoonsOfJupiter]

Such a surprise to see the second sleeping area - when you mentioend earlier in the video that the vee-berth wasn't the only sleeping space, I couldn't figure out where another could be! Jeanneau did a great job of sqeezing in another double there - very cosy!

[@jamesellsworth9673]

Or maybe 'claustrophobic' depending on one's genetics.

[@solitaires2772]

Waooo you always make people dreaming...very great videos...

[@AQUAHOLIC]

I try! :)

[@acesalvage6718]

Beautiful boat mate

[@Old-Mad-Tom]

Impressive Nick. Still able to tour interesting boats during lockdown. 👍🏻😉🇨🇦

[@AQUAHOLIC]

This was filmed just before lockdown - literally the day before in fact!

[@Old-Mad-Tom]

AQUAHOLIC I thought the beard was looking longer in your walking video. Just wasn’t sure if you trimmed it or not. lol 😉👍🏻

[@tonym7434]

Nice video and good to see some more affordable boats alongside the super Yachts

[@willwud]

Come on people of KZbin! Let’s get Nick an upgrade! 👍🏻

[@christiano8088]

How?

[@blueneet84]

Man, that mini trawler style Parker 800 Weekend in the background looks great. I’d love a review of that!

[@nothingsurprisesmeanymore]

All the fun of the sea in a manageable package for normal people 👍 I would go for diesel I would think the petrol would be a lot more thirsty. But I bet that V8 sounds nice.

[@Nokenify]

That's a very nice layout for the price.

[@jamesellsworth9673]

Thought for a while you might be ready for a gentle bump up. The relatively slight changes here seem very useful; more than just 'modernizing.' Buying big ticket items requires a certain mindset that doesn't feel regret when the next year's model has just the changes you wish yours had.

[@normbond8888]

Nice job Nick. Gasoline (petrol in UK) is far more prevalent that diesel in Canada/ USA unless it is much larger transportation like transport trucks, larger motor homes/RV’s, or bigger boats. Very few cars unless imports from UK/Europe are diesel especially after the Volkswagen fiasco & they are mostly gasoline now. Although we saw multigrade diesel at most stations in Europe over here only one grade & many stations only carry multi grade gasoline. Many small marinas on fresh water lakes are gasoline only & mainly those on saltwater marinas would supply both.

[@danceworld8360]

Lovely little boat for a reasonable price 😉👍

[@bensanderson3560]

More vids of these affordable boats please v good

[@user-nw5rf4km3t]

Bright morning, magician.

[@TheBassBaritone]

Yes, more affordable boats please, it’s lot more pleasing to see something that one might actually own someday.

[@thomasrenwick8577]

Yes please nick - more on the single engine 20-30ft boats

[@Ziggs-Kitchen]

I do prefer the darker gloss wood in your boat Nick, and it ain’t the same without the Volvo penta wheel 👍🏻

[@stevenvater2681]

.......I'm getting converted to power boats with these blogs they're so good.

[@andrewnicholson6330]

Well done Nick keep up the good work 👍 post quarantine can you do a ELLING E4/E6 and a DALE Nelson please.

[@IanHn56]

Very nice. Like it. Think I like the wood trim in yours better. Bit 'classier' I think.

[@Englishelectrictype4]

Makes me want to buy one Nick, another superb video and a lovely motor boat

[@Christopher-pe6zj]

Beautiful Omega! Great video too! :)

[@LachlanMurnaghan123]

These are a great little boat, really wet appointed. Easy to drive and relatively roomy. If you can buy a diesel its a good buy for the money.

[@adrianmills9978]

Nice update Nick. Not sure about petrol over diesel though...

[@JohnKennedyuk]

Dream boat - hope to be able to buy one a few years from now. Will have to save up for it, but at least this is within the realms of affordability if I don't buy a car or house instesd.

[@programmerape6059]

New and Cheap Boats Please!!!!! I love those new 100-350k boats 😀

[@afhoadpfhafpaiofhap]

This Yacht is much bigger on the inside than it looks on the outside.

[@nicosmind3]

Im new to this channel so i apologise in advance. But the boat is like a Tardis!!! Sorry if thats said all the time. If isnt then im surprised

[@manoman0]

The blessings of modern technology!

[@roberthennel]

This is exactly the size and type of boat I will be hopefully considering seriously within the next 2 - 3 years, in my opinion the ideal boat for someone living next to a big river like me (Danube in my case). The ultimate adventure: Black Sea delta - Danube - Rhein - Antwerp

[@bielefeldundmehr2461]

But is the Danube connected to the Rhine? I (as a German) don't think so.

[@roberthennel]

@@bielefeldundmehr2461 Actually, there is, the Rhein-Main-Danube canal. I remember from my days at Port Bratislava that we actually could quote a river barge transport from the Black Sea ports up to any of the ARA ports, though I have to say it was economically absolutely non-feasible. The inland waterway passage from the Black to the North Sea is technically possible

[@neilgusthart828]
