Introducing THE WANDERING HILLBILLY - Our new Aquila 54 Power Cat

Today we christened our new Aquila 54 Power Catamaran. Come along for the beginning a new life.

[@guidedmeditation2396]

Just like Christmas morning. These are the good times that are so obvious to enjoy but when you are really thankful for your abundance every time stepping aboard can be just as rewarding.

[@lindseyjarrell1096]

Congrats! So cool to see you in St Pete. I would have loved to run across you guys sitting outside of 400 Beach. That would have made my week. Beautiful boat, Captain!

[@LeeMBlackBoater]

Congrats, Congrats!!! So happy for you and your fam! You inspire us!

[@alexr7928]

Have fun! Your BVI videos helped a ton. Captained 1/3 boats on a weeklong Armada there for my local sailing club in January. Someday I’ll get the itch to try a power cat, but had too much fun on a sailing one. Next trip is a Jenneau 54. Definitely now have the dream and drive to own my own yacht. -Fair winds!

[@pmwinkler]

Congrats!!! She is a beauty! Looking forward to your future adventures.

[@LincolnMolin]

Congratulations so excited for you and your family! Can't wait to see all the adventures the Wandering Hillbilly will take you on! May you have fair winds and following seas (even though neither of those are as important on a power cat)! Ohh and what a beauty the Wandering Hillbilly is!!!

[@kimb6962]

Next it will be Wandering Hillbilly rum 🍹 Watch out Foxy, you now have competition! 😎

[@jekkershinator4671]

Hi Allan , have just placed a order for the aquila 54 but have to wait 12 months thanks for your input

[@catalinabob2descanso]

[@GCRoof]

Awesome to see you share the same dream that I do !!! Congrats!!! Guess you need to archive the rental videos of Cats!!! You will no longer be the specialist of the rental process! But that is a great thing!!!!

[@ChrisPark]

so awesome! Congratulations! Would love for you to review the different options in your 54

[@praeliora]

I love Aquila, just need them to go hybrid..

[@JodySmith]

Congrats!!!

[@bruced9053]

Congratulations…we know where the drinking came from, lol!

[@TheStupidicus]

Congratulations Brother!! It looks good on you. I wonder if you will continue to find "Hidden Hillbillies" around the interior?

[@roypoe1865]

I love the channel and the videos! I have been looking at the 70. What's your thoughts on the 70 vs. The one you have?

[@steveedlund3218]

If you are looking for your private 1acre Marina compound in Marathon FL Coco Plum Dr just look me up. Congratulations it's beautiful.

[@dwb73]

Alan, just curious who did the commissioning on your 54? Safe travels to you!

[@beachrastaman22]

Alan (or anyone else) I have a question; how much catamaran experience did you have to have to do a bareboat rental from the moorings or marinemax...thanks.

[@brentfriedland]

Did I hear that right? "It took 5 years"? Is that from the first idea or the total construction time?

[@thewanderinghillbilly]

No. 5 years of me trying to figure out what was best for us. One year to construct.

[@JohnBraman413]

i'm sure it's been asked but what do you do for work?

[@thewanderinghillbilly]

I direct The Voice on NBC….among other shows….thanks for watching!

[@fiftyfishbottom]

Change out anchor for a Bruce.

[@aardvarkmindshank]

It’s not that amazing 🤣

[@steveedlund3218]

Yes it is!!!!

[@The442nd]

WAIT!!!!! @ 6:12 Did you say 5 years in the making? It took 5 years to build this motor cat?
