Hello guys, if you do have that $400k cash, just remember to check with the marina if they allow for live-aboard and also the monthly cost to have the yacht there, plus all other fees - which are a usually extremely expensive for a boat that size.

[@kevinfleming9919]

The Foruno is a fish finder and shallow water depth finder, the Wesmar Omnicolor Video Sounder is a deep water sonar that uses color changes to indicate different types of objects and seafloor changes telling you if you are over a rocky formation, a soft muddy ground, underwater objects like trees, boulders, etc and gives indication of fish 🐟 schools and their sizes so you know what is going on under the boat as you are doing deep sea fishing 🎣. BTW, "Poor Richard" (the name of the boat passing by) was Benjamin Franklin and the name he used for his "Poor Richard's Almanac" that he printed.

[@markwilliams9855]

Thanks for the detail Kevin! I used to be a tech at Wesmar in the mid-70's just off Lake Union in Seattle, WA. That video sounder--very high tech compared with the mono-green sonar of back then.

I'm a bit of a dinosaur I guess because I'm a firm believer that if a manufactured product still performs its intended purpose well and you have a need for the service then keep it!

Why would you want 3 strangers living with you in what amounts, square footage wise, to a smallish house? You end up being the de facto guest, and you have to manage what is essentially a small business. I would never own a boat I couldn't handle single handed.

Wow. This is a fantastic layout!!

What a beautiful vessel to use as a live aboard!! Love the crows nest controls!! How cool is THAT!!?? This is literally a ready built home that would feel comfortable right on move in, right?? The only things to seriously consider would be the cost of operating this monster. But if you want to live on an actual yacht and not just a cramped boat you could easily save a…..”boat load” of money, lol that would easily cut deeply into the cost of actual purchase of what would be a multi million dollar vessel to get similar accommodation in a newer version. Really nice.

[@Bass_attack7755]

Cost to operate usually is 10 to 15% of cost per year. However that's a new boat estimate. With an over 4k gallon fuel tank you can estimate cost to fuel easy. Maintenance can be a crap shoot. Considering it's got over 2k NM range it's not too bad. Efficiency isn't built in for an old boat. Fuel back then was way cheaper.

Sure, with a boat like this, with a crew, you have to plan on spending something like $100,000 - $200,000/year. If I understand it correctly, the rule of thumb is 10% of the ORIGINAL purchase price/value per year.

[@Chalto]

@@barrysaiff8475 fair enough on the associated costs, but you'd also have similar costs on a new boat, except you'll have paid a few more millions of dollars up front for it, and how many years of ownership & enjoyment of this vessel would one get before they eventually caught up in terms of overall costs, including the considerable loss that almost all new vehicles have the moment they leave the dealership etc? I'd wager it would be at least 8-10 years, likely more, and by then one might be considering one's next boat. Then there's the possibility that whomever buys it, actually wants an older vessel like this, because they prefer it's style etc., much like with older cars & motorcycles. If one has the 'spare' money to do any of this, I hope they enjoy it. Someone might even buy it just as a nice place to live, which again is likely a heck of a lot cheaper than most waterfront properties.

Just seeing the exterior of this thing its seems better thought out and structural quality than a lot of more expensive and modern vessels. That upper control station would give you a great way of threading that vessel through any shallows fish or whale spotting or assessing any low bridges. Apart from the radar and Nav kit theres not a computer anywhere beyond you phone or lap top.. so its fixable without diagnostics software or dealer ties. Just straight mechanics and electrics. This is a ship....and was built to last beyond fashions and be lived in and on by familly and crew or an extended familly crew, both having equitable civilized conditions and good circulation and access. 😎 I wonder how it would have looked pre refit. There is a maxim that says one should never follow fashion too closely... anything thats so ugly that it has to be changed once or twice a year is clearly a mistake, propigated by the misguided or the exploitative.😉 BTW ...was that a flash🤭 back there 😉 playsuits are more practical for dashing around in and still look like a short summer skirt.. but im not complaining😁

As always, a fun and very informative video. I have been a professional mariner for 33 years. You are both fun and knowledgeable. Best boat videos on you tube! A big hello from Vancouver Island!!

How long would it take for an absolute beginner to learn to operate this thing and be able to travel to Mediterranean on it?

[@Maxrotor1]

This yacht exceeded my expectations. Great refit and great video.

[@mihailpeichev1013]

Great thank you for the video! It is amazing how perfectly well the space in these vessels is used. Every tiny volume of it... Grateful you took us on tour! :)

[@Methoes123]

I would absolutely purchase this yacht over a newer model any day! What a gorgeous all around purpose yacht! I'm in love! 😍

[@Burevestnik9M730]

@@Methoes123 So whoever bought it must have had that license already?

[@Methoes123]

@@Burevestnik9M730 : No, not necessarily. If you buy a boat like this and you have no license, you must hire a licensed Capt. until you do, in order to move it.

I think this is my favorite boat so far, I thank you two and Aquaholic and Producer Michael for the great mind bending tours

[@samueladams1775]

This is a nice boat. Old, but a really nice live aboard boat. I would add more refrigerator storage including freezers, but for the money this is an excellent buy and has a lot of potential.

[@charles_tamminen]

This one would make an awesome live-aboard, and the price is amazing!

I love this series, keep them coming! One day I will leave my landbased life for a life full of salt and sail!

[@rickbaier1042]

Incredible vessel. That engine room is incredible. What a layout and the room.

[@renebourdages7451]

Thank you for the video! Can you share what the annual regular maintenance cost has been on that boat in recent years? Thank you!

[@jeremiahgazsi8579]

Nobody can do what you both do like you both! Love your videos, you guys have so much chemistry and are a joy to watch and listen to! Much love from Tampa, FL!

[@NautiStyles]

Oooow thank you so much! That’s very kind 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💙

I love the old choey lees. They have beautiful craftsmanship woodwork

[@segrames]

Stephen Grames 1 second ago The first time I've commented, but I've watched quite a few of your videos. You are always so cheerful and entertaining, and you add so much information that most of us who just boat recreationally can learn a thing or two. This boat is tempting as a liveaboard and you can't find a decent house along the gulf coast of Fl for this price. Does it have bow thrusters, or is that a modern invention? I would imagine docking in a cross wind could be tricky. It would really be interesting to have a video about the cost of insurance, maintenance, upkeep, dockage, and variable operating cost per mile. If you've done a video like that and I missed it, reply with a link. How many crew members would it really take to professionally operate it? My guess is that is pretty salty. You guys rock, just love watching, imagining, and your banter is great entertainment. Thank YOU!

[@tonywilliams7918]

Love the outtakes and your chemistry. Helps this channel remain fun and enjoyable. I have learned so much from you two and your great subscribers.

[@NautiStyles]

Oooooow thanks Tony! So nice to hear that!

[@JerseyLou]

I totally agree!!!!!! They are AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Nails-by-Jennifer]

I absolutely love this yacht. After watching no telling how many of your videos, this one is still my favorite.

[@mrbrown3462]

I like the ladders on the older boats instead of the staircases most of the time the ladders can be moved creating a larger space where the staircases are just there and I have not seen many with a real great use of space behind and under the staircases and the vintage boats with mohagony or teak ladders just have something special about them that isn't found in stairs.

[@brianheffernan8982]

That was a great tour. I really enjoyed it. If I had the money, I would buy it and move in. Have a wonderful week.

This boat is truly amazing, great upgrades, really awesome potential.

[@markcurrier2355]

A truly beautiful older boat. I love the layout and the woodwork. Once again, wonderful job showcasing this. Oh yeah, stunning view from the crow’s nest but I have a fear of heights so I’m not sure I could ever go up there if I bought this boat!!!

[@ColdWarSubSailor_-]

I just found your channel. Wonderful tour of a classic boat! I love the engine room and main bridge. The crow's nest is great, but that radar is a bit too low for me, I'd move it up about 2 feet higher...all that RF energy so close to my head brings up memories from my submarine days: "Attention, there are men working in the sail, do not rotate or radiate from any mast or antenna, there are men working in the sail!".

[@ronalddunlap9933]

Wow, This is really a nice yacht ! Not bad for 40 years old. Enjoyed the tour.

[@mannyistheman2221]

New is not better

[@davel9130]

This would make for a great live aboard and seems like it would still be manageable as an owner/operator. One thing I was thinking is replacing a few surfaces and switch/indicator gear would make for an easy update to the control spaces.

[@marianconde4507]

Updating any remaining instruments should be relatively easy, as long as you can successfully interface the upgrades with the existing system(s). I’d like to see more navigational aids, particularly if it’s owner-operated. In-shore operation isn’t usually too challenging, it’s off-shore navigation and docking that can trip-up the inexperienced, and/or overly ambitious owner….. I would have liked to see more of the engine room, electrical wiring & the generator(s) & maintenance records. That info. is invaluable & can provide opportunities for further negotiation on price at purchase as well as with your marine insurer.

[@billturner6564]

there is no way a 90 ft 3 deck motor yacht is owner operatable that boat needs a professional skipper and three decades minimum

[@algalkin]

@@billturner6564 And $3000/hr in fuel

[@citetez]

@@algalkin - If you maintain a relaxed cruise, $100 - 150/hr would do it.

[@citetez]

@@billturner6564 - That is a baseless statement. It would depend entirely on the experience/skill sets/ambition of the owner, and the location/style of cruising being undertaken.

This is a very good boat for the money. Well maintained and some nice updates. Thanks for sharing
