In this boating episode of MY DREAM PURCHASE, Host Chris Van Vliet guides couple Cher and Jim through their search and purchase of their dream boat. Produced on location at LONG BEACH YACHT CENTER, at Shoreline Marina in Long Beach California. With cameo performances by broker/yachtsman STEVE CURRAN, the show introduces a 1996 Silverton 310 Express, a mint-condition 2019 Rinker 370 EX, and a 1991 Tollycraft 57 motor yacht. Three wonderful vessels-- but Cher and Jim need to decide on one.

Best 2 days of my life we’re buying and selling my boat!

[@mikehynek]

I have heard that many times.... and it is true. A boat is a lot of maintenance, and if you don't do it it turns to shit.

We owned five yachts over thirty years. We kept them in a Charter Fleet for typically 13 weeks of the year and we enjoyed them for the rest of the year. The charter revenue paid for all of the maintenance, expenses, moorage, along with the fuel we used on our trips. Every five years we got two-foot-itis so we kept upgrading. Our families have such wonderful memories of months long trips to last a lifetime. I’d still be at it, but losing my beloved bride when she was forty nine, completely changed my world forever…

As a former 2014 Rinker owner, its so nice to see one in a video like this. Sorta sad since they recently went out of business. They are great boats, fast hulls and priced great (used to be).

We loved out 1985 Catalina 36 SPICA for about 10 years and well over 10,000 miles. SPICA is now in Long Beach with her new owners who frequent Santa Catalina Island.

I'm a cowboy, but I take boots off on someone's yacht.

[@ThisIsWhereMyNameGoes]

Apparently they didn't buy it and the boat is still listed for 299 not 399 like the video said. 🤔

Starter boats are not going to cruise the coastline Mexico to Alaska. Sleeps 5 would be packed in that first boat for anything other than a short weekend - not long coastal cruising. The last boat seems to be the only one that would meet the cruising they talked about at the start of the video - so good choice for them. I'm hoping for a larger yacht, but much less maintenance costs (no big diesel or sail rigging). Donate for a Dream.

Starter boats?

[@user-co2wo7ej2f]

Looks like a Credit Card Captain. He'll have to hire a Captain.

[@josephnagle1013]

The 1991 Tollycraft 57 motor yacht, for a couple with no boating experience, is too big for them. There will be a problem getting insurance for it. The 37' 2019 Rinker 370 EX would have been a much better choice for them: Handling, maintaining and insurance wise.

I’m a cowgirl and I wear my boots on my yacht !

[@Pasovineyard]

Long distance boating on a power boat is not really reality unless it is a very large ship.

[@tjs0067]

A real yacht has sails

[@billhartsfield424]

Someone tell Jim you can’t be on a motor yacht with a cowboy hat. Totally wrong in many ways !

[@MrCobb-rq8iv]

Maybe but what a clod to wear boats aboard. Yea he don't fit in many ways. I'm a real cowboy but you won't know it when you see me at sea.

[@jeffburger2782]

For each his own......Cowboy up.....

[@billblendick9780]

Cher …. really …. did you name yourself ??

[@jimd421]

Boat break out another thousand dollars. They'll have lots of new friends insurance company people clean the bottom of the boat mechanics they all have all kinds of people working on their boat, not to mention the amount for the boat slip

[@drew6116]

Break Out Another Thou

[@MrJhchrist]

Imagine trying to sell a boat but insisting on leaving a hate flag on the fridge

[@4U812-h1l]

I had to look it up, and you are correct.

[@2009PocoLoco]

Thin blue line flag supporting police is a hate flag? The ones that want to defund the police are the haters.

[@gregroth4696]

OMG lose the Cowboy crap. When you come to the ocean and step on a boat Your in a different world. I wouldn't wear a diving suit to a rodeo. Lose the ego and join the fun!
