Marianne and I were only saying yesterday we'd not seen a JB upload for a while. Like these boats very much. 👍🏻

[@Boatscouk]

Hi Nick and Marianne- Yes we had some upload issues over last 14 days which are now resolved- also lots of boats being sold 😀 hope you are well. JB

[@clifbradley]

I agree with you Nick. I wouldn't habe ever watched this channel if not for you, and then he barely uploads now. So sad. At least I get regular uploads from another popular Yactuber.,,that's right..Marrianne. ah best in the biz really. She must have had a good teacher. Aw you know I'm kidding Nick, but I do like Marriannes reviews.

[@wingcommanderdaltonwalton67]

The socks are terrible but they do match your waistcoat! On a plus note this is a beautiful boat,a bostin tour and an interesting insight into ownership costs,

[@macdchef]

Me too

[@garryrobson]

Ditto Nick at @aquaholic 😂 You and Dan are worth watching just for the laughs (as per Nick and Marianne). Keep it up James - we are def extremely pleased we bought from you guys and will always recommend. Love our Parker 850 more every day. PS Just back home from dinner with JP & Sharon at The Deck in Saltern’s.

[@Boatscouk]

Ah thanks Gary - we have to have a laugh! 😂

[@merv690]

how refreshing to see an honest warts and all video on costs , I sometimes think people believe companies came keep in business without making a profit congratulations

[@Boatscouk]

Thanks Merv !

[@samaipata4756]

If those socks have a true killer shark bite to it, please send them to our famous Canadian PM Trudeau, called SOCK-BOY/BLACKFACE‼️🦈

[@thaitom449]

Fantastic boat James but the average working bloke hasn't got a chance of owning and running these at approximately £1300 a week these boats are for company owners, ceo of a large company and lottery winners. The running costs are more than most people earn in a week. Still, I'll keep hopeful that my 6 numbers come up

[@adamknight6752]

Evening Boss, i have been watching your videos from the beginning......you have progressed admirally with the production and filming quality. Moving from spot to spot while doing your stats is a cool touch. Congratulations on keeping the weight off too... Cheers 🥂

[@Boatscouk]

Ah thanks Adam - just trying to mix it up and have some fun 🤩

[@jacktyler7599]

Like the additional topic, James. Surprised at how relatively little of a very big selling price goes into your own pocket. And yeah, socks sucked....but liked the jacket!

[@Boatscouk]

Thanks Jack!

[@ChristopherStewart-q3d]

Another great Video. When you review your costs/overheads, do you have to allow for warranty? I assume it’s sold with some sort of warranty?

[@easybigun7825]

That's a very nice boat. Without wishing to sound creepy, I really like your new glasses. I don't suppose you want to tell where you got them from, do you? Thank you for the tour, by the way.

[@Boatscouk]

Hi Easy. They are Tom Ford Blocs - I love them 😍

[@johningham4942]

I'm glad to see you back James, and yes your attire is very fitting for your tour around the boat and marina.

[@Boatscouk]

Thanks John

[@robbief1]

Great to hear the estimated running costs - thanks!

[@Boatscouk]

You need to know

[@markastbury1890]

Very interesting to see one that makes me more in love with the Squadron 58 😁.. don't like the socks . Neither does the Mrs 😂 Very honest though .. that's why we'll be seeing you soon Mon Amie 😁👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@Boatscouk]

I don’t like socks either 😂

[@ralgor100]

Yeah and like the popes jewish lol

[@michaellui74]

Great video watching your videos from San Francisco.?why refit ?? Getttin ok ?

[@Boatscouk]

Love SF ! A few new cushions would do on this one .

[@patriciab3739]

Ha Ha... The crew cabin, we thought the house alarm was going off !!!🤣🤣

[@Boatscouk]

😂

[@aleksanderelvsaas4691]

Great James,love your videos! Lets hope Darren will sell my V48 quick:)

[@Boatscouk]

He normally does 😊

[@realadammason]

I have a 2010 merry fisher 815, 400hours. Looking to part exchange and upgrade next year. Is this something you would take as a part exchange?

[@Boatscouk]

Yes of course! Email me [e-mail]

[@clifbradley]

I read a lot and one day I was asked 'Why?' To,which I replied, "You know howmyoumare always asking me what this word means, what happened in this country at this time and what this means or ask about history? Yeah, I never have to do that"

[@patriciab3739]

Brilliant Vlog James, really enjoy your Vlogs, we learn so much. Thanks so much for sharing ... looking forward to the next one 😎

[@TomMushMoto]

JB loving the work geez just started watching all the videos, 'get the fenders in messer'

[@realbiker2302]

Your sound quality is terrible

[@kanalianr1]

As always good content👏 Thank you👍

[@JohnMason-ds9vd]

Another good video very glad im subscribed. Keep them coming.

[@raymondmilburn-hughes7945]

A lovely boat it is amazing how these older boats look so good. Love your video's, lovely jacket and hair style, those socks, nice on a lady..

[@Boatscouk]

Ah thanks Ray 🙏

[@Tuneitupful]

Good to see you back James .

[@fishwars5979]

UNLESS you're a multi millionaire, i wouldn't touch a boat with a shitty stick, absolute money pits.anything with the word boat attached to it is just money money money.

[@Boatscouk]

And fun, fun , fun 🥳🥳🥳

[@darrenevans1572]

Like the new jacket, not sure about the big lump at the front though….😂😉

[@Boatscouk]

I might have put some weight back on 😂😂

[@robertthomasjones9278]

Good look. That Mickey Rooney look is coming back

[@Boatscouk]

😂

[@WildWoodlandsSW]

Really interesting information(not that im in the market right now :) ),and great fun presentation. 'If you dont have kids chucking food about'was a goodun. Thanks for the tour,and the laughs. Lovely boat too!

[@Boatscouk]

🤩

[@clifbradley]

Ypu can tell you habe lost weight. 3 stone I think. Of course I'm American and have no idea how much a stone is. 14 pounds or like 6.5 kg or something, again..American and we don't use kilograms.

[@Boatscouk]

😂

[@chazjr4804]

James love your socks you should sell socks and boats

[@Boatscouk]

🥳🥳😂😂😜

[@loki7441]

The jacket is very trimming on you James. Not sure about Dan as I only have his reflection in the glass to go by. The socks? A little strange, maybe the addition of a dorsal fin and a splash of red. Like the T shirt with the shark bite out of the side I bought in Australia about 35 years ago. The mother banned me from wearing it in the house. She said it gave her the heebe jeebys!. 🦈😄

[@Boatscouk]

Ah thanks Loki 😍

[@clifbradley]

Wow a video,from my 5th favorite Yachttuber. You could move up..if you posted more. Just saying. Lol. Love the tours and the breakdowns. So post more James. You got lots of boats right?

[@Boatscouk]

Thanks Cliff. Yes got loads of boats but day job is flat out this time of year. Will try harder 🥳🥳

[@ChristopherStewart-q3d]

Another great Video. When you review your costs/overheads, do you have to allow for warranty? I assume it’s sold with some sort of warranty?

[@Boatscouk]

No warranty on brokerage and lots with stock boats 🥹

[@fishtigua]

Very nice and honest, that;s what they cost. Thats why I'm buying a Seaward offshore duffer.

[@Boatscouk]

Great boats - seawards

[@chrisoleary9876]

If you were wearing a ball cap, you'd look like an American! 😂

[@Boatscouk]

I find them uncomfortable 😂

[@davebuckman8841]

Very informative thanks

[@Boatscouk]

Cheers Dave 😎

[@ub4079]

The crazy guy is back!!😅😅😅 Hurray

[@Boatscouk]

😂

[@CON1FER]

Joe 90 rang - he wants his glasses back…

[@Boatscouk]

He can’t have em 😂

[@joehunter6034]

Hitachi TV.. I'll get my coat..

[@Boatscouk]

😂

[@almuradyh]

That's some bad socks, Harry🦈

[@Boatscouk]

Agree 😂

[@michaelfrankel8082]

Nice crew coffin.

[@Boatscouk]

They are all the same 😂

[@TheMikesylv]

Why these boats all have windows raked back like a Lamborghini that you can barely see out of is so strange

[@Boatscouk]

Use the flybridge- much better Mike 🥹

[@jacktyler7599]

@@Boatscouk It also makes the boat faster, Mike.

[@welfordxxx]

Really didn’t realise how little you make from brokerage. I’m sure new sales are much higher though. Oh, like the jacket - bit snug though!

[@Boatscouk]

Yes I didn’t want it baggy 😂

[@BrassNuts]

Sometimes, the only thing you earn in life is respect 👊 😊

[@Boatscouk]

🙏

[@MrSnookerballs]

James, check your microphone mate.

[@Boatscouk]

Not again 😩
