Thanks Dan! It was great to meet you, and great to have you over for movie night and the tour.

You're living the dream brother, nice boat and thanks for letting us have a peak at your boat and life! Fair winds. :)

[@Adventureman_Dan]

Cheers buddy, you both are absolutely great! I really enjoyed out time, and that movie night was rad! Hope to see you both again soon.

[@jeffreydelgado1079]

Really nice boat guys. We’re looking at buying a Salina that is coming on the market soon. I’m really interested in the structural issues you had, what they were and how you dealt with them. Anything you can share? Extending the keels and re-shaping the rudders was interesting. I also like the lower supports for the solar arch. Hope to see you out there on your circumnavigation!

[@manicmarauder]

I dunno, after seeing the prices of vanlife vans these days and how some vans are up over 200k (Not full on RVs, just built *vans*), and comparing what you get with a van vs what you get with that same investment in the boat scene, I gotta believe his assessment of 4 is *much* more accurate, maybe even a bit self deprecating. I don't think the boat scene has quite caught up to the inflation in the housing and the car market quite yet. It will though, because I can't be the only person looking at what the same investment will get in one vs the other. The downside is there's likely a price bubble coming as more people realize the same thing.

[@dwight_klaus2981]

That was a fun review! Please do more of these Dan! I'm shopping for the "perfect 10" cat, right from the factory. 😳 I would love to know more about how much effort/expense went into adding all the upgrades to this boat. What would they do differently if they did it all over again? With so many hybrid/solar cats hitting the market, what is their opinion of these? I realize they are substantially higher in initial cost - I wonder how long it is before the fuel savings make up for it. Any way we could get an estimate/breakdown of their annual boat operating costs? How much should I be budgeting? What does it cost to insure a $500K boat? Thanks Dan - you are an excellent youtube host!

[@Adventureman_Dan]

I hope you find it!

[@andersonautomotive]

Hi Dwight. The upgrades cost us about $60k, and there are a few things Dan didn't touch on such as folding props and new spinnaker. Most of the labor for the upgrades was provided by me, so if you're paying someone plan on at least double that. There are no upgrades I regret, and the only thing I would do differently is to not hire out the install of the freezer and washer. I had to redo the whole job anyway so there was no point in paying them. The big upgrades were done before we left Florida and I'm not counting them as part of our annual budget. Our annual budget is $60k, and we spend roughly half of that on maintenance. I DIY almost everything because the quality of work with contractors always irritates me. I don't want to pay for terrible work. If you don't DIY, it's going to be a lot more expensive. The age old question of how much does it cost to sail full time is easily answered with another question. How much do you have? It costs exactly that much. Insurance is terrible, especially for US citizens on US flagged boats. When we bought the boat insurance was expensive, but until we were full time the boat lived in Florida where hurricanes could be a problem. After taking the boat out of the hurricane zone, our insurance went up even more. So we dropped to liability only. It's cheap, and also great motivation to take great care to not put the boat in harms way. Our German friends with the same boat pay only slightly more for full coverage than we pay for liability. I'm not a huge fan of hybrid propulsion systems. Fuel is one of our lowest expenses at about $600 a year. It's not even enough fuel to make the climate people upset. Hybrid systems cost a lot and are an unproven system. When you're at a small island hundreds of miles from parts or a technician who can troubleshoot the system, you need reliability. If I were new boat shopping I would insist on Nani engines. It's a Kubota engine with no electronics. Hope this helps.

[@michaelblocki2926]

Just a thought on vallue I don't think you can compare mono hulls with cats half a million is a lot but I think you should compare that to say a lagoon or a lepard looking at them a 4 might be a better assessment just a thought loved your vlog all the best in your future

[@Adventureman_Dan]

Right on, thanks!

[@DavidJohanns]

good job on the video and presentation Dan. What were the structural issues with this boat?

[@andersonautomotive]

Not enough bulkheads and poor installation of the ones it has. Also poor construction of the hull to deck joint. The factory fixed these issues a couple years later.

[@homewithjohanns6492]

@@andersonautomotive thanks for the info! Is this inherent in all FP 48's?

About price point, I'd say 8/10 because it's a helluva lot of boat for the money.

[@anon-is8sp]

Jesus, let the man talk !

[@joeyjojojunior1794]

The first owner passed away? Or just never took it out of port? This saddens me. Such a gem of a boat.

[@andersonautomotive]

He never took it out. The boat was mainly used as a place to hang out on the weekend, but not sail. It sat at the dock with the AC running for 9 years, but he also paid for all the regular maintenance that needs to be done even if you never sail.

[@skrbosmrdic2003]

i watched whole video from start to finish,i need to ask you a question….with budget up to 900,000$ most durable boat with luxury stuff like this one which one you would recommend for sailing around Caribbean and with minimal requirements for maintenance so that is robust m…..Please give your Opinion!!!!!

[@RussellD11]

No such thing as "minimum maintenance" on a Boat.. They are money pits...Expect about 10-20 % of the purchase price every year in maintenance... In the real world...

[@andersonautomotive]

The best build quality you'll get in a cruiser/ luxury cat is probably Privilege. But, you'll pay for it. A Privilege will be much more expensive vs a similar length cat made for the charter market. You'll get a lot less boat for the money, but it will be a really nice boat. Low maintenance? Good luck with that.

[@SpartyTime]

I'm a cruiser and I love laying out in the sun. But no one has every accused me of being normal. 😂

[@davidwooten4002]

Hello Dan, I saw your video on the 48 foot catamaran pugeau at $500,000. Just wanted to ask what your take is on the brand Silent yachts going back to 2016 and moving forward and also a question do you believe a solar powered catamaran should have Gyro sea keeper. Second question, would you find that it is a good investment for a solar powered camera with a diesel generator back up? You’re very intelligent and I think you should do a tour of a solar powered catamaran. I want to be out on the water, but I don’t want to have a sale catamaran I’d be better on a power or solar power catamaran, what would you think that the residual value would be after five years on a solar power catamaran percentages to share?

[@Punknboi]

thats a really nice boat

[@Punknboi]

witha ship like this you could easily have a fleet of smaller ships who then at the end of the day sleep aboard the cat

Cool video. It's crazy to keep hearing people say you have to supplement minerals and what not from drinking RO water. That isn't true in the slightest. Vitamins and minerals are only at slight trace amounts in your water unless you have well water and we get the vast majority from the food we eat. It's a crazy notion.

[@SerdarFreimoser]

How much does it cost to own such a boat? Buying + running cost would be super interesting

[@Adventureman_Dan]

A lot

[@andersonautomotive]

The same as it costs to run any boat. All of it. Just look in your bank account, that's how much it costs. It doesn't matter if your budget is $10k a year or $200k. All of it. Now that you understand that what it costs is highly variable depending on how much you have to spend, we have an annual budget of $60k, and half of that goes to maintenance.

[@andersonautomotive]

I think his scale is a little different than most. It's "how many people out of ten who are looking for a cruising boat could buy this boat?" Vs value for the money.

Nice river boat

[@Adventureman_Dan]

[@kqschwarz]

Great video, but I completely disagree with the price point score. Have you looked at the price of 50 foot luxury catamarans lately? I think the $500K price point is a steal when it is around a third of what a new one would cost. That said, $500K is WAY too much for me also, but that does not mean it is over-priced. I do not believe it is fair to use the logic "can anyone buy this boat" when determining if the price is too high. Heck, I could not afford a jet airplane at $10M, but that does not mean it is over priced. Not everyone can buy a jet airplane or a very large luxury catamaran, but that does not mean they are over priced. In this case they got a 50 foot luxury catamaran for about 1/3 the price of new and the boat had essentially never been sailed. I would say that justifies and price grade of 10, not 2.

I’m no sailor and just now getting introduced to the sailing world but he said at the beginning this boat was a sloop and from my understanding it doesn’t take a big crew to work a single mast, 1 to 2 people max, not to mention the various electric wenches this boat has. Maybe I’m misunderstanding
