[@markgallagher1376]

Very cool boat!! The fuel tank looks and sounds like fiberglass to me.

[@motorcityboatwerks]

Good point Mark😁 You might be right

[@motorcityboatwerks]

It does kind of look like it up close 🤔

[@Jasabout]

A sailboat has sails, this is a motor boat.

[@motorcityboatwerks]

If you watch the video 🐙you will see the boat under sail , the mast step, and the sails. ⛵️😂

[@907T]

I like it too. Great job Joe!

I did some electrical work on one of those in Ft Lauderdale back in the 80's, would have loved to get my hands on it.

[@DavidPaulNewtonScott]

Love that stern.

[@motorcityboatwerks]

Thanks David😁

[@Slithh]

I love it! Price is a bit steep but given the boats rarity, it's not surprising.

[@motorcityboatwerks]

🐙Pricing is right in the money for the rarity and the daily runner. 😁

[@ericerven5456]

Was there a Fales 38 as well? Nice report !!

[@motorcityboatwerks]

Yes indeed there was😁 thanks for the comment

[@chopperdoodle1]

Yes!

[@motorcityboatwerks]

😁

[@Ulbre]

I hope this guy gets what he's asking, or close to it, because she's a ripper. You can just tell from how clean she is that she has been well maintained over and above.

[@motorcityboatwerks]

This one is a beauty. Thanks for the comment

[@chopperdoodle1]

I purchased one of the 8 this last spring 2024 on Lake Superior. The price is solid, including dinghy? Great price. Step off dock onto boat and boat is more stable!

[@martymorse8967]

Interesting boat. Question: what is the speed at 2800 rpm (I couldn't hear it). Also, any ideas what the ballast is made from? (iron/lead, etc?) Thanks for the reviews!

[@motorcityboatwerks]

🐙Be sure to contact the owner for additional questions. The contact info is in the episode description 👍😁

[@Matt-py4sc]

Whoa, small world. I’ve looked at this a number of times. Saw it all the time up in Sturgeon Bay. Wish it had a better second berth option.

[@motorcityboatwerks]

No reason for a second berth. 😂Perhaps a reason for a different boat.

[@chopperdoodle1]

I almost bought that exact boat! Found one in Duluth MN. At my Marina!!

[@motorcityboatwerks]

Excellent👍😁 Welcome to the Boat Boat Werks

[@charlieostler8538]

I believe they are fiberglass fuel tanks

[@motorcityboatwerks]

I think you may be right 👍

[@chopperdoodle1]

I believe it is insulated. Heat soke isn’t issue on Superior. The tanks live very close to engine.

[@motorcityboatwerks]

👍

[@MrBluoct]

I own one

[@motorcityboatwerks]

Brilliant! 😁 Be sure to spread the word and subscribe to the channel

Nice

[@0xKruzr]

There's a Navigator 38' for sale on FB Marketplace on the Texas coast and I've been really tempted to go take a look. One thing I'm not clear on is what kind of performance you get out of these boats just with sails -- to be clear, I don't need to go fast on just the wind, just need to be able to go ;) Some folks make it sound like these "can't sail at all" and I'm curious what your take is.

[@motorcityboatwerks]

As I’ve said in the video, a Motorsailer is a particular type of sailboat you purchase for a particular reason. 😎 And you can tell how much value I place in the opinions of Salty Dawgs and armchair sailors who have never done anything other than type on Facebook. Thanks for the comment good luck 👍 😁

[@chopperdoodle1]

I believe one is for sale near Green Bay. FB marketplace. I just purchased one. Motor sailor with sail assist, I say. You can throttle down 1200 with good wind, Jib out and still maintain 8 knots. Stop once every 6 months for fuel. Only 3.5’ is under water!!

[@motorcityboatwerks]

😁

[@0xKruzr]

@@chopperdoodle1 "stop once every six months for fuel" is definitely part of the appeal! I also really love the idea of a "motorsailer" that can be largely electric, recharging the batteries with prop regen under sail and motoring with a big battery pack when needed, with a generator for backup.

[@motorcityboatwerks]

🦄 🌈 😂

[@wcguthrie]

I'd say forget the main, use the genoa downwind and just let that little perkins hum you to sleep. Looks like a baby Kady.

[@motorcityboatwerks]

Thanks for the comment😁

[@shoutatthesky]

How is it a "sailboat" when there aren't any sails?

[@motorcityboatwerks]

As I said in the video, Salty Dawg 🤓The boat is being winterized and the mast and sails put away for the season. 😂watch the video😅This was the last day before being pulled from the water for winter storage 😁

[@shoutatthesky]

@@motorcityboatwerks Didn't catch that part!

[@motorcityboatwerks]

🤓

[@jameskelly7193]

A sailboat with no mast where do you put the sails?😂

[@motorcityboatwerks]

🐙You must have missed the part around 1:20 and again at 14:00 where i talk about the boat being winterized and the mast step😉 your homework is to watch the video again and the entire playlist 😁👍

[@toddlong8672]

If thats true, you might want to think about getting a mast, and some sails

[@motorcityboatwerks]

Oh Todd you Salty Dawg 🐙😂 you obviously missed the part of the video where I explained the mast was off the boat as it’s being winterized and the boat comes with a main and roller jib. 👍😁 Be sure to like and subscribe

[@toddlong8672]

@@motorcityboatwerks obviously.. That is a fine looking vessel, I will give you that

[@micjailchavezmorejon3140]

Oh man I love this boat it's a spectacular rarity, I wish I had the money to make an offer and keep it for myself and take it to the Bahamas, will it survive that trip? 🫡😉👍🌊

[@motorcityboatwerks]

Sure! but will you survive the trip?😂
