I Moved 1,000 Miles just for Boat Life - Q&A/Mean Comments

[@BrandonGross]

Thank you guys for all the support! Took me FOREVER to get this new merch ready to go but it's finally here! Excited to see what I can get into in Florida! brandongross-shop.fourthwall.com/?source=dashboard

[@chasingthevoyage]

@@BrandonGross already ordered this morning

[@Kitmefford]

How much for the boat?

[@MukbangingSoldier]

@@BrandonGross excited here too😉😉😉😉

[@virtualburton]

I have to admit, when I found your channel I thought the boat life title was clickbait, but I have watched every video for the last 6-8 months and the more I see of you the more I like. You are honest and sincere. What you see is what you get. I’m very similar and TBH people don’t expect it. They assume we’re holding a lot back, when we’re not. Screw the haters, you do you and I for one will come along for the ride. Thanks for sharing.

[@bdmenne]

You speak for the mass majority of subscribers. Thanks for saying it well.

[@sundaychamberlain228]

F the haters Brandon, the almost half of million subscribers u have love you. I love your zest for life, and supportive your family is. You keep doing u.

[@davidhillman3410]

Haters are gonna hate! Just keep doing what you’re doing and have fun! Haters hate because they don’t have the nerve to do what you’re doing!

[@redhelmetmann]

Who would hate man... just enjoy this guy's content. If you don't, then click away.

[@lauraslanesvanlifetravels]

Mean comments usually are from either jealous or miserable people...or both....jealousy probably mostly...maybe some young kids/teens also...or old miserable men lol....I love that you turned it into a positive thing and that you would never let it get you down, something I strive for....people who are negative towards your life or who you are can be pretty depressing sometimes. I think your awesome and I love watching your vids...even ones like these (the only ones I don't really watch are the mechanical/fixing stuff) but sometimes I check those too...just in case something adventurous or funny is included...luv ya Brandon!

[@mynx369]

You obviously made the right choice by quitting your job and selling your house etc. because thankfully you’re young and you didn’t have any obligations (major responsibilities such as having a wife and children-that would have made things impossible or at least very difficult!). It was the right time to travel all over before you settle down and have a family. It’s still doable with a family but it gets really complicated. Congratulations on your great life changing choice! Keep up the great work!! I’m really looking forward to seeing what’s next for you!!🥰❤❤

[@coalitionperformance5901]

Huge respect for your approach to life and being comfortable without having plans to pressure yourself too.

[@renealbrechtsen9743]

Out of the youtubers I follow, I've gotta say that's some of the sickest merch I've seen.

[@BrandonGross]

Thank you! I really appreciate that! I'm super happy with how it turned out!

[@Lozenhimer]

glad to see you're bringing in the family...it's all about family

[@Laurie-hn4ng]

You are such a tease!! Can’t wait to see your new boat!

[@firsttimecaller]

This latest transition from van man to boat boy has been super-fun to watch. Love that whiny butts keep giving your channel tons of comment engagement and views.

[@YotaguyJosh]

So rad brother! Congrats on being able to do what you want when you want. Awesome. Thanks for letting some of us live vicariously. 😝 😂✌️

[@mikerizzo7750]

People are so lame! Do your thing brotha! Love watching your content and supporting the channel. Keep it up!

[@elderparker]

Haters gonna hate, the best and bravest way to learn is to jump right in and do it. Enjoyed watching your journey, excited for the blur at the end of this video. And you definitely do not look 55, lol. Maybe 40? Idk, doesn't matter what anyone says anyway.

[@wessebaggers]

Don't listen to heaters your a great guy ! I'm proud of you ! Glad you found a place to live nice house ! ❤❤❤

[@nebuchadnezzar916]

Looking forward to the next phase of adventure with you. Good stuff.

[@BrandonGross]

Can't wait to share with you what I've got next ;)

[@natashabarnett1989]

you a mazing brandon love how open you are some of the comments funny we always learning something new everyday x

[@janvertonghen14]

I agree man, boat life is way better than house or van life!!

[@chadgouthro1975]

My best friend lives in Altoona, PA and have been to that area. Many many times. Really enjoy your videos and I think you are gonna kill it in Florida. Hoping much success for you

[@erichill643]

Brandon doesn't push countless, sponsored products in his videos while also making enjoyable and sometimes goofy content. You seem like such an easy going, kick back and have a drink with kind of dude which just proves that people will hate on or complain about ANYTHING, just because they can... Respect for knowing what you wanted out of life, and going after it. See you at a million brother!

[@staceymiller4765]

Because of your channel my wife and I are moving into a boat to live the life! Thanks

[@BrandonGross]

No way!! Congrats guys!! Where at??

[@staceymiller4765]

@ there’s a big lake just south of us so…. We’ll see. lol

[@kevind4043]

Keep chugging along man. Everyone learns somehow. I've been boating for 20 years from offshore fishing to living on my current boat (short term) and still learn something new everyday. Can't wait to see what you end up getting. My advice don't get something too small, it will limit your exploring.........

[@mach5k]

Stumbled upon your channel… Really enjoying the journey. Considering getting a boat in the Carolinas for the ICW and worried about the learning process so it will be fun to follow your journey.

[@C.Tomás]

Showing the behind the scenes and what you're going towards to is exciting! Keep it up! Also, the hate comment shirt is a golden idea.

[@yvonnet19]

Thanks for the tour, Q&A and for being my go-to comfort KZbin channel and your honesty! Keep doing what you're doing! 🤘

[@alpy7776]

I have a 27 foot express cruiser in the northeast too. Interested to see where your journey takes you. Keep the cool content coming and keep doing what you do.

[@tscheid65]

It would be cool to watch you do the "great loop" with your new or old boat.

[@michaelhunley354]

I hope to do the great loop one day, watching him do the journey would be awesome!

[@abrandj1981]

Looking forward to this next chapter in boating. Your killing it homie !

[@BrandonGross]

Cheers homie! I appreciate the support. This next chapter is gonna be A LOT of fun, very keen to share it with you.

[@bryanthernandez9324]

I love how they love to complain. I think they are jealous because you’re living your life you’d like. That’s what is amazing!!! You’re doing it!!! And they are insecure. Keep it up! Love your videos!

[@robertbarriger2596]

OMG - Brandon in a house???? Power on to the new future!

[@kimberlykirkland22]

Wow!! A lot has happened!! So happy you’re in Florida safely and you’re livin in a house with friends and family!! Hope you find your perfect boat for the Florida ocean waters!! 🌊 So lookin forward to your new adventure!! Thanks for takin us along!! Praying the best for you Brandon! 🙏 You’re amazing!! Love ya! 🥰

[@montanamtngirl]

I used to live in North Miami Beach, Very hard to find good people to trust down there. We always used to joke that it was the dumping ground of the world. lol Be very careful! You're smart so I know you'll take care of things, and thrive down there!!! Summers down there are horrible! lol I like the house, and the merch!! Enjoy Brandon and I hope you find a great boat!! 😊😎🌴🏝🏖🌅🌞⛱️🌊🍹🍹Intracoastal Waterway😊⚓️🛟🚤🔥 I love that you can jump in the pool from the roof!! Epic!!🤘😁

[@kevinh891]

Dude, look into something with a cuddy cabin or pilot house. That way you can cruise over to the Bahamas in a few hours. Spend a week barhopping and fishing for the cost of fuel!!!

[@mynx369]

Haters are gonna hate! I’m glad that you’re ignoring them and that they don’t get you down!!🥰❤❤

[@SamanthaCorrie18]

Finally, you're living in a house. Happy that you're settling in Florida for the time being. Your content is always fun to watch and I cannot wait to see what's next for your for 2025.

[@BrandonGross]

It's definitely a big change, but the adventures are just beginning...

[@Steve_1208]

Screw the haters Brandon, they ain't happy unless there is drama in thier life's. Glad to see you've finally made it to florida, not jealous at all😊, we are just about to get snow here in the uk, winter is setting in fast. Enjoy Florida and hope you find ya new boat soon, looking forward to more vlogs on the new boat when they come, in the meantime enjoy the sunshine ya lucky so n so 😂😊

[@DGAF42069]

💜❤️ Haters gonna hate!! No better way to learn and live than by doing!! Love the videos. Excited to see where you go from here!! Peace love and good vibes

[@juannekruger629]

Been following every single video you post and been loving it ! Would come and use that spare room if its open 😁

[@nxttuesday6830]

I’ll buy shirts as long as Brandon keeps taking his off!😉🤤

[@Nerger-cn9pl]

Keep the exciting content going. Good luck searching for your new boat. Those dumb/mean comments are just haters. “Those Who Live in Glass Houses. Shouldn’t Throw Stones.” Peace

[@damonsdeliberatedetour492]

Trust me I'm 55 you don't even come close to looking 55. My son is 36 and Gray hair is setting for him but still looks young!

[@tonychurchill6373]

New merch is FIRE!!! Going to pick me up some soon. Been living boat life in GA for 5 years now. Keep up the good work brotha!

[@BrandonGross]

Hell YEAH! Can't wait to see you rocking the new merch!

[@pamelataylor412]

I got a kick out of the way you found a way to monetize the’ mean comments’. Kinda genius, lol. Good luck on the boat hunt!

[@rak3151]

Months ago I knew I was going to have to buy a houseboat. So, I went to KZbin to learn about houseboat living. In my mind I thought houseboats stayed right at the docks and did NOT go anywhere. All I knew about houseboats was what I had seen on TV. Suffice it to say I’ve learned a lot since then. Anyhoo, I’m so thankful your content was under “houseboat” otherwise I wouldn’t have met you and your MOVING houseboat. DUDE! After watching a few of your episodes, I upped my goal to owning a sailboat! Then I began watching videos of people who do what you do (but on a sailboat) who island hop and that’s their freaking life! Soooooooo, I’m wicked thankful for your “houseboat” content! You opened mine eyes, My Man! I love your t-shirt with all the funny comments - I’m going to purchase one now. Brandon, Your compass is true-keep being You! Thankfully, RAbecca

[@curtis6615]

Love the content Brandon, it's a wonderful life, good on you, let the haters hate, their life must suck......

[@Bill_Russell_aka_Coolbreeze]

So cool that you'll be spending the winter in Florida with us this year! Really looking forward to the adventures you uncover and explore in our neck of the woods... so to speak. Hey! Brandon's now what we here in Florida call a Snowbird! lol Have fun Brandon and welcome to Florida... enjoy.

[@Lozenhimer]

i'm glad you mentioned sarah...i was wondering too

[@rokbezjak4604]

sunseekers are sick but yours really had the best layout

[@lukekao8136]

Congrats on relocating downto Florida. What's up what all those "hate comments"? It's not right! Not cool!

[@Mohawk_Matt]

Hell yea bro!! Looking forward to the new videos.

[@Jake_Netic]

Love the longer videos should keep making them long

[@danby7461]

Really cool shirts actually. Also lots of rebuild boats down there from hurricanes. Would you consider a rebuild project boat? Or just use or new one? Excited for the Florida content

[@BrandonGross]

Thanks! stoked on how they turned out! And I just don't think I'm knowledgable enough for a full project boat yet. nor do i have the space or tools haha

[@danby7461]

You should collab with InTooDeep. He just fixed his boat and is headed to south Florida too. Would be a cool collaboration!

[@757Adventurer]

BRO- I NEED A 4XL, let me say two words, TANK TOP!! Keep kicking ASS!! “Where is SARAH SHAMBLIN”

[@johnsnyder1046]

Can't wait to see more Florida content 🌞

[@lfdfireman67]

I don't understand why people have to be so crappy, I love your videos, and have learned from what you have learned, love the adventures you go on, there is no way I could do them at my age , so keep up the great work, and keep posting videos.

[@BrandonGross]

People just need to feel better about themselves and the annonymity of the internet provides them that "safety net". May as put them to good use and have a laugh while I'm at it!

[@Lozenhimer]

i'm glad you don't let the comment get to you.

[@bearparts]

Haters gonna hate. Keep living your dream, not theirs.

[@mikebrock4294]

Thank you for answering my question 🙏

[@JulieIreland]

Lots happenin'! So exciting to see you start each new chapter of life!! Cheers!

[@FreddKing-nd8fz]

You will love Haulover inlet haha

[@satoshione8145]

Comments are clearly Trolls doin what they do 😂Great Idea on the merch design 👌🏼Keep it up w/the great content, looking forward to Boat Life in ☀️ Florida 😎

[@pollyemerick7115]

Love how you’re living out your dreams! Enjoy

[@BrandonGross]

Thank you. As I said in the video, I'd rather have the choice to live how I want to than to be stuck with something I hate.

[@chasingthevoyage]

While you’re in Florida do you plan to go for your captain’s license? Also cool to hear my channel mentioned when I asked a question. Too cool.

[@BrandonGross]

I definitely would be interested in getting my captains license!

[@marcusmorin2091]

Another great video I live in South Florida. Maybe I’ll see you on the water but the best advice I can give you boating in Florida, which I do is sea tow .. worth every penny when you’re stuck on the water.

[@markbucknell1]

Another great “honest” video 😉. Those comments were hilarious, probably people wishing they had your life Brandon, take them as compliments mate 👍 Here in the UK it doesn’t matter what boat or size the boat is, it’s about a community and enjoying the water! Looking forward to this next chapter 👍🇬🇧

[@zackg3]

I relate so hard to having 300 tabs open and all day boat browsing. Looking forward to see how your search goes in FL. I am in South Florida too. See you around!

[@BrandonGross]

Im in a constant struggle with too many tabs open haha what part of Florida are you in??

[@zackg3]

​@@BrandonGross I feel that! I am in Oakland Park which is essentially Fort Lauderdale. And I also grew up in the Pittsburgh area but have lived away from home for quite a while now. My family had a small marina on the Ohio. Seeing your journey to WV and OH over the summer was so awesome.

[@godiskungen27]

Lovely episode❤❤

[@JedEdelstein]

Excited for more of the boat life content!

[@heatherbowman6529]

Please make sure you get a tow boat us membership they are great, ask for kenneth he has a youtube channel called gulf coast marina, and maybe can help with teaching? Not sure but a place to start. Enjoy , cant wait to see the new boat, if i could afford it i would buy it. Have fun.

[@rossed.in.translation]

Good job on the merch 👍🏻

[@CPMUNSEY]

This video was hilarious! Nice house. The yards sick. Good luck finding the boat you want. Thanks for the content. Edit:typed before seeing ending. Looks like you found a boat,lol!!

[@boring.doerings]

Hey Brandon! How the hell are you? Still betting on that TRACKER scene! 😊

[@christinariina6054]

could you please post more then once a weeks. Also please get back to the boat life soon

[@BrandonGross]

I'm gonna try!

[@christinariina6054]

@ Have you found a boat yet?

[@staceymiller4765]

Just keep you in the loop on our move into boat life, we’re heading out Tuesday to go check ( possibly buy) a 84 Sea Ray 340 Sedan Bridge. She’s 34’ long, 12’ wide, has a master cabin with a dinette that turns into a bed. It’s a start! lol

[@BrandonGross]

You gotta start somewhere! You'll absolutely love the boat life, it's been so much better than I could have ever imagined!

[@staceymiller4765]

The is still on the fence about it but I’m stoked as hell. It cost me my dream truck but I believe it’ll be worth it in the end. How’s your search going for a boat?

[@staceymiller4765]

The wife is on the fence not me, lol.

[@R3TR0R4V3]

Have fun in Florida! I'd love to get outta the valley too and head down there myself, but I'm gonna keep grinding & saving $ while I can. Maybe next year! Anyway, looking forward to seeing the new boat and what adventures yins get into down there. 🍻

[@BrandonGross]

It's been one hell of a ride so far, the next chapter should be a lot of fun!

[@katherineknight1168]

Dont mind All the ”know it all” jealous ppl do what you love youre videos are Awesome man❤❤

[@brandonlaing792]

Sick place man! I’ve really enjoyed your videos

[@BrandonGross]

Glad you like them! The place is pretty cool too, still getting used to the fact I have a home base

[@HYNKZL]

Since you are going on the ocean why not a sailboat? The wind is free versus the price of gas.

[@waynerick5755]

I'm loving it 😊😊😊

[@davidsidwell8749]

Now that you are down in Florida you can go cave diving. They have some of the best in the world. And it makes good content.

[@jdwhitty6035]

great content Brandon! keep going bro!

[@BrandonGross]

Haha I wasn’t sure! Glad to hear I got it right! 😂

[@evelynlobos1354]

❤❤❤❤love the black hoodie and t-shirt, your sister did a great job on the design! I think that single room near your bedroom should be your office! Put some more things in there instead of your room! Great that You are living in a house with your friend who helps you do videos and editing. Great how you have an epic backyard. You should be swimming each morning to start your vibe up❤️❤️❤️ but I think this will help you a lot to have a place to put your stuff at and be free on your boat but bring your boat home and park it, as you said you wanted a smaller boat! The hot tub at night would let you unwind and chillout, perfect before you must sleep lol. I had NO IDEA that I would hear my name being read by you (10:17) as I was typing this and watching you on youtube and I thought WTF did he just read out my name😂😂😂so I screamed and my housemate ran in and I told her that you were reading out questions from fans and answering them. So I rewinded it and then we watched it again and she screamed this time😂😂😂 You made my day Mr.B❤❤❤ well whatever you do we wish you luck as your videos are always entertaining. I think it is a better idea of researching how boatlife is like in Miami. Here in Melbourne it is Spring and its going to be Summer soon.. you keep going ❤❤ just be safe❤❤❤ stay happy❤❤ peace from your number one fan in Australia❤❤❤ p.s: Ignore those haters they are jealous of your adventures❤❤❤and I like your answer to the music question 👍

Trolls are going to be trolls man the good thing is their comments count also boating is not easy buddy especially down there I have been voting since I was 10 years old I am now 46 I am on my third boat which I am completely restoring it is a 1983 Carver Monterey 26 on a 30 ft tri-axle trailer the only boating advice I can give you is always where the kill switch know this by heart red right return I don't care what the weather is doing if it's daylight or dark never go faster than you want to hit something good luck to you captain like watching the videos buddy

[@Floatdude86]

Take your time looking for a boat, check it out top to bottom, trailer included.
