HOW do you DEFINE this Centre Console - Chris Craft 30 Catalina!

[@dostalgia]

Beautiful boat!! To beautiful to use for fishing! For me, this would be a luxury sports car or a tender for those multi-million dollar super yacht.

[@johngauntlett4915]

Dan, the piece you pulled out from the bait tank looked like it fit over the sink as a bait cutting board.

[@johngauntlett4915]

Dan, not through the whole video yet but Chris Craft has always been luxury. When I worked for teakdecking systems in Sarasota Chris-Craft and donzy we're right down the road from the Factory. And Wellcraft was across the street and catty-corner from us when their world headquarters were there. We did alot of teak decks for them. I would classify the boat as a luxury fishing machine with amenities for the wife.

Love the videos and how many you release, going through the whole back catalogue of boats I like the look of. Honestly the best boat channel I've come across! Will you be looking to film and release the videos in 4K at any point Dan?

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

Glad you like them! Hmm that's a good idea.. yeah I don't see why I can't, I think that's just a video rendering thing? I'll teach myself how and when you start seeing 4K uploads you'll know it was your idea Mike!

[@mikep2168]

@@BoatLife_DansBoatLife haha I'll look out for that then! I imagine it takes a fair while longer to render and upload by the quality will be miles better. Only thing I can think of which would improve the videos to be honest mate (not that you asked actually...), they're brilliant 👌

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

@@mikep2168 Thanks Mike! I just taught myself all this by watching KZbin videos so always happy to listen to helpful advice as I definately don't claim to know everything! Appreciate the tip i'll do my homework and see how to make it happen.

The filler in the live well is designed to be used as a cooler if you are not fishing.

[@johngauntlett4915]

Dan, if I could ever afford it, I might lean towards a Freeman Cat to do some serious fishing.

Definitely one for the poker run with Stu from the FPC either way another great review mate as always

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

@@markward3242 Yes legit. We have never met though because I have never been to the States. Funny how we both developed a passion for boats on the other side of the world. I would LOVE to get in on a Poker Run as we don't have those down here.

[@sdemw1843]

Would love more details / thoughts on the seakeeper ride system….

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

I need more time to test it to be honest. I don't know if I fully understand all the functionality yet. My understanding is that it may have some sort of stability at rest feature but I don't know how to switch that on if it does? I'll work it out sooner or later and film it

[@johngauntlett4915]

Dan, so it is a refrigerated fish box?

[@johngauntlett4915]

Voluminous!

[@fearhand12]

Fishability is not the only reason to buy a CC. Some people want the fully open experience without all the rod holders, rocket launchers and livewells. Tiara here in the US has that vibe

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

Yes we see many people in Sydney using them for all sorts of missions other than fishing. Tiara doesn't have any presence here in Sydney that I know of. Seen them online and would be keen to learn more.

Comp is the riva centre console - its epic

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

Riva is doing a center console..? I did not know this!

[@davidkirksey8521]

definitely cool, not made for catch and kill. Especially with twin 400 Mercury, you want go fast go Merc, you wanta bit more reliability and longevity go Yammy. The toilet being an afterthought shows it is not an offshore boat, the bed is not for sleeping if you have the pretty lady to go with the boat.

[@djertoprezo]

Hi Dan , I want to know what's the kost of an🛥 Regal 36XO🚤 from 2021 in 2nd hands market . A viewer from Belgium 🇧🇪

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

I will be with the Regal dealer today so will ask him. I've closed my boat sales business in January so I don't have accurate sales data anymore.

[@billwashburn8568]

Seems like scout bought the name and Jazzed up their line to slap Chris craft on them

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

I spent last weekend on a Scout actually so yes I can see some similarities but also a lot of differences so maybe this deserves a video one day

[@anthonynicholas1165]

Good looking boat yes, but another trendy overpriced symbol, meant for us to admire and those with more money than sense to buy, you sure don't get much for a million with some makers do you, still, great tour as always.

[@mikep2168]

agree with this, many more options I'd have over this one. but, great video as always

[@alexfernandez6787]

You are doing it differently. Manafactureres should be keeping you busy. Great choice of locations... And of course the accent doesn't hurt. Speaking as a yank

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

Appreciate that! I fly to the States this week for my first visit so really excited to see what it's all about!

[@sebbe_as7333]

1 mil !!!! for a 30 foot boat, wtf, how???

[@BoatLife_DansBoatLife]

Aussie Dollars. Boat's like this have always been around the price of a one bedroom apartment in a nice part of Sydney so it's still in line with that. Bloody inflation hey! I wish my wages grew that fast lol
