[@susanperry5428]

7:13 Omg...I love u guys...we too are a bit older and have wanted a boat for so long but watching you i believe we can do it also...thank you and I look forward to watching the rest of your videos and subscribing...:)

[@LifeAt7Knots]

You definitely can do this! We may not move as fast as we used to but we make up for it with extra thought and planning. It is a wonderful life!

[@larryg.4398]

Just found your channel ! Enjoying it !!! When you were down in the engine room it made me think of Back to the Future with Doc working on the Flux capacitor 😁

[@rebeccamorrison8758]

Great Three mpHour Tour! Loved the narration!

[@justinlinnane8043]

interesting tour !! I have a shipping container (for stock) sited in a very old English boatyard on the Kent coast and its the same . Fascinating to walk around but its another "boulevard of broken dreams " !! 😂

[@chipbyrne]

Sure, please go ahead and give us the whole tour, maintenance, etc

[@trevormutch6098]

there are lots of amazing boats there in that yard.

[@jonathenbishop1119]

Thank you for sharing with us

[@MrChrisHobday]

Love to hear & see your travels

[@theradioweyr]

About 50 miles from you. It might get down to 40F Friday or Saturday morning, won't be so hot now, can't wait! Subscribed. I love to see maintenance on engine and other things.

[@doncritzer2798]

I'm at palatka, just picked up another space heater today for my boat 😊

[@LifeAt7Knots]

Glad you enjoyed the video! 40F sounds like space-heater weather!

[@timswope8423]

Excellent video. Informative, friendly. Nice work too.

[@miked5563]

I enjoyed the boatyard tour. Thank you for sharing.

[@haroldconnell2973]

Looks great

[@edmctug8800]

Great video, and good boat yard tour !

[@doncritzer2798]

Foil on windows good idea. Im in Palatka for the winter Grand Banks 36.....

[@masontombs]

Bangers and Mash is what we have here in England, sausages with mash and gravy. Interesting name for a boat:)

[@LifeAt7Knots]

I liked the name and now I know the reference, thank you! I wonder if it refers to their favorite food, or how they feel after being out in a storm (banged up and mashed!)

[@jdhinckley1954]

Nice looking boat! Is she a BHM or Duffy? Sure looks like a downeaster. Aha, I just read your channel description! BHM 32. Hull by the great Spencer Lincoln. I had a Flye Point 28 for years. Most beautiful shear of any downeast boat. IMHO.

[@LifeAt7Knots]

We really like the boat! She is very stable and just the right size for the two of us

[@MikeCoon-yi4gz]

I hear it's a good place to buy big boats at a great price.

[@rski1036]

No big boats were shown and I very much doubt that rinky dink travel lift would lift one.

[@mandrinvuthaj4543]

Very nice. Thank you for sharing.what kind of boat is your?

[@LifeAt7Knots]

Blue Moon is a 1993 BHM Flye Pointe. She is built on a lobster boat hull.

[@lafolle1414]

how much does it cost for 5 mouths storage....?

[@LifeAt7Knots]

For our 32 foot boat it is $365/month, plus there are fees to haul and power wash the boat.

[@davidmccann8752]

Can you tell me where this yard is located?

[@LifeAt7Knots]

We kept the boat in Indiantown Marina which is about 25 miles west of Stuart, FL. Great place to keep a boat during the hurricane season.

[@MrChrisHobday]

I’m in the UK & I’m a disabled sailor doing up a Fisher 25 but a 37 would be amazing

[@LifeAt7Knots]

Fishers are awesome boats!

[@raymondbrowder6770]

You can get the old turbo rebuilt turbo netics do rebuilds

[@LifeAt7Knots]

Good to know, thanks!

[@AquaDawg]

Hi there. Could I ask you how much it cost you for long term storage there? I also assume there is a fee for in and out of the water?

[@LifeAt7Knots]

For a 32-foot boat it is $360/month and yes, there is a fee for in/out of the water. Our last bill was just under $1,000 and that was storage, moving the boat to the work yard and launching.

[@AquaDawg]

@@LifeAt7Knots , thank you!

[@antonioaugustovaladares4356]

Very Nice

[@jacbobo56]

What’s the hull and year?

[@LifeAt7Knots]

It is a BHM, Flye Point from 1993. Atlantic made the hull.

[@jonathenbishop1119]

What is the old girl on your port side. She looks like a neat boat also

[@LifeAt7Knots]

In the work yard there was a custom steel boat next to us but the owner wasnt aboard, so I dont know the make/model. On the other side of the steel boatwas a beautiful Crealock 37. Nice young couple onboard are doing a full refit.

[@FloridaKeyDude]

Where is this yard located? Have a friend looking for a place for his sailboat.

[@LifeAt7Knots]

Indiantown, FL about 25 miles inland from Stuart.

[@raymondbrowder6770]

That marina is where boats go to die I have moved boats in and out of there just dropped a 65 off there

[@LifeAt7Knots]

I think you're right about some of the boats going to die and others to be reborn with a new owner.

[@sccharmed]

Where is this yard we are looking into a loop boat.....

[@LifeAt7Knots]

@@sccharmed It is in Indiantown, FL not to far from Stuart, FL

[@sccharmed]

@LifeAt7Knots many for sale ? We need to fit my husband into one.... he is 6'6" and 375lbs so we'll need to see what he can fit and move especially engine room.

[@LifeAt7Knots]

@@sccharmed Perhaps look into a Willard 40 trawler. That's what we live on in CT during the summer and the engine room access is amazing, plus the headroom is generous, though I dont know the exact height. Also, the Krogens are another good choice.

[@COPPER71]

I'm actually looking for a livaboard. Where is this marina. I would like to ask about some of them

[@LifeAt7Knots]

This is Indiantown Marina in Indiantown, FL and it is not far from Lake Okeechobee

[@fishydubsfishing6516]

Thank God Florida is cracking down on these boats now that litter the water people living on them they don't even run or there usable

[@LifeAt7Knots]

It is very sad to see how many boats are not cared for and sunk along the Intra-coastal Waterway.

[@doncritzer2798]

​@LifeAt7Knots I think I counted 6 sunken boats on shore of st Johns river from Jacksonville to palatka prob from hurricanes we just had

[@advoman1]

Thanks for the tour of your boat and the boat yard :) I am selling my modular in a gated community in Ft. Myers and when that happens I will be interested in a 40-45 foot trawler with twin diesels preferably Ford Lehman's. If you come accross something please let me know and thank in advance :) Bill

[@LifeAt7Knots]

I dont know of any off hand, but if you call Indiantown Marina, they would know what's for sale.

[@rski1036]

OMG. What a BUNCH of Junk. Didn't see a decent boat amongst them all. And by the way, your use of the word "sturdy" is totally out of place. I can only guess but suspect you meant Seaworthy, but frankly did not see a single one that fit that definition. Again; a BUNCH OF JUNK.

[@LifeAt7Knots]

After sailing for the last 60 years aboard just about every type of sailboat every built, I prefer older boats that I feel are more solidly built. To me a sturdy boat is a heavy, full displacement hull that can take most anything the sea can throw at it. It is all a matter of preference and the right boat for the job.

[@lasnow805]

YOU NEVER SHOW US YOUR FIRST MATE,,SHOW HER !

[@LifeAt7Knots]

I'm usually behind the camera but I'll try to get into the next video. Thanks!
