Explore the American Tug 435 with Capt. Boomies | Walkthrough BoatTEST

[@AbNomal621]

Glad to see Cpt Boomies solo. Honestly I haven’t managed to go all the way through any of the videos of her co-hosting as it seems she is relegated to a relief role.

[@BoatTEST]

Thanks for the feedback. Testing boats involves a specific process that we pioneered 24 years ago when we first started. Since Boomies is new, we thought testing with another captain would be helpful, and it was. She had never tested a boat before, and you can see her go through the paces on the Riviera SMY. We also like bringing in two perspectives would be helpful for boaters. Glad you like Capt. Boomies! : ) We will work harder on the co-hosting when it happens!

Dual perspectives are cool when walking through, but it loses me when it is two people sitting back chatting about the boat, it feels stilted and painfully scripted rather than a real conversation anyway. I am looking forward to Capt. Boomies getting a solo 20+ minute features walk-through, this boat show video seemed like a good sneak peak and proves she has the right talent to make these compelling segments.

[@BoatTEST]

Thanks for watching and appreciate the feedback! Believe it or not it's not scripted only when we do VO because there is a chance for some perspective and a chance to share more info and feelings on the boat. Also, our Capt's are not actors so some are more at ease than others.. thank you for rooting for Capt. Boomies! ; )

[@ThorsonWiles]

Fuel, water capacity? Estimated/calculated range? Engines? Speeds? Draft & air draft? It does look nice, but technicals would be very nice to know.

[@BoatTEST]

Yes we know. Our model page will have more info. When we go to the boat shows we only get a chance to do so much but agreed that we can provide this info in VO. We included some more specs in the description. thanks for the feedback.

[@GaryMartin-h6z]

Would be nice to see performance numbers !!

[@jonathenbishop1119]

Thank you for the video

[@erichcollar9810]

Love Capt. Boomies easy vibes and clear explanations.

[@mikefrench3800]

I love me some Boomies!

[@therestlesschild]

I love this boat. It is so cool and I would love to sleep in that forward cabin. My parents are looking at trawlers to buy and Im going to show them this one.

[@BoatTEST]

Best of luck! Trawlers are great family boats

[@michiganengineer8621]

A nice looking little cruiser/tug. I'm going to make a WAG that the base price starts around $1M USD. I'd want to actually take a look at one to see how it compares to the Ranger 43-S

[@regressmenot]

Love these types of boats, nice review too. Anyone have a ballpark price for this boat?

[@brianlitz5102]

There is a 2021 for sale for $1.3 million

[@brianlitz5102]

The interior is very similar to the Nordhavn 43, exterior is quite different.

[@borysnijinski331]

Engine room?

[@BoatTEST]

Sorry didn't get a chance to shoot it but its quite large. It has a single cummins 550 engine. This was not a test just a boatshow walkthrough- -our time was super limited.

[@butterscotchstrat]

Engin room and systems overview please.

[@BoatTEST]

BoatTEST usually does full test and reviews but we also go to Boat Shows where is virtually impossible to take the boats out - this was out first time in the Anacortes Boat Show. Hope to do a true proper full inspection when we can arrange it. It has a SINGLE CUMMINS 550.

[@andysummers13]

6:40 nice edit …

[@BoatTEST]

yes -:(

[@LazaroAlonso-z4d]

Minus the offline clip.

[@deahelkcunklaer2180]

I think we're missing most of the important information here. Perhaps delve into some of those tech details?

[@gcanada3005]

Exactly what I was thinking. All about how pretty it is. We still don't even know if it has a motor, lol

[@BoatTEST-dc8fh]

Boat "walkthroughs" are just that, they are not the in-depth inspections and tests that BoatTEST does in a "Full Performance Test and Features Inspection." We plan to be doing a full test of this boat in the near future. We were very impressed with this boat and think she offers a lot of value for the money. Most couples don't need anything more.

[@sergedurivage562]

You are really a breath of air for this channel ❤

[@CaptainBoomies]

Thanks! It's seriously floating fun!
