Selling my boat and going home!

Bobby, you’ll ability to recall all the details of the boat and equipment is impressive! Lovely boat.

Everyone saw this coming, sailing the Caribbean with Megan, Goose and Maverick was true adventure.

Good luck on the sale of The Dark Side. Personally, I’m looking forward to living vicariously on your new cat and long distance voyages again.

[@wayneanderson1641]

The cockpit extension is absolutely perfectly done. One of the Hidden advantages of the extension is much better performance.

[@crescentbeach691]

so happy you're going back to sailing.

[@Sommers234]

Kind of cool the way a lot of KZbinrs are changing vessels. Much respect Bobby, for your ability to maintain and sail so many different yachts. I look forward to watching your sailing Adventures!

[@hd-xc2lz]

A lifelong sailor, I have greatly enjoyed The Dark Side videos, as well as the opportunity to shed long held, fusty biases toward power boating. Thank you Bobby.

[@JohnPaul-ts8dq]

Congratulations. Hope Stephanie is going with you. She an excellent first mate. 👍👍🇺🇸

Don't worry, Stephanie and the baby are coming too.

If the crew is staying with the yacht, this will be an easy sale

[@hecdc305]

Wow, nice Hatteras. Brings back old memories when my partner and I sold our Hatt 58 Yachtfish. Loved that boat for cruisin Florida and the Bahamas.

[@jessiegarmon4759]

Love ya Bob! Thanks for sharing all the memories. Hope to see you sooner than later. God speed

[@michaelsickels7600]

Sad to see the Dark Side being left behind but you will have further great adventures in your future Cat. I can’t wait to watch them. I would think getting a good crew for longer trips will be a challenge because they can’t leave in the middle of the ocean. Hopefully Steph will continue with you. Have fun!

[@flyerjack1548]

He can cherry pick among his patrons for crew. I suspect many would be happy to sign up for a few weeks of time with Sailing Doodles! They might even pay him a bit for the experience. Use that money to pay the travel expenses of several fresh crew members who look great in 👙 bikinis to keep it fresh!!

[@sitchad]

I am sure someone will pick it up pretty quick, it's a nice-looking coastal cruiser. Will love to see who is included in the crew for the Cat. Best of luck. P.S. Please say Stephanie is joining, she is an absolute gem.

[@asphaltjunkie4748]

Cant wait to see more ocean crossing videos from you and steph .

[@jameelali1266]

Good things happen to great people who do their best to be good to others and grateful for life; anyone who loves animals like you do… can’t help but be nice to people; stay safe and blessed buddy. Good luck on the new venture.

good luck with the Sale. we're all looking forward to your future adventures!

[@alanpettibone]

That painting on the chainlocker door is worth the price of admission on its own. 🤣

[@supershane1960]

Bobby, hey mate, never try going into sales, you’re way honest. You spent most of your time telling everyone the faults. Good luck with the sale and the new adventures, looking forward to them… 👍🏻🙏🏼😎

We are going to miss it love the memories you made on it looking forward to what’s next👌

When I was a teenager some 40 years ago my hobby was studying motor yachts via magazines and Hatteras was one of the dream brands. But on the pricey side. I like the compact, practical motor yacht designs. Looking forward to the ocean crossing adventures.

[@zeffermank4456]

Best of luck with the sale! Looking forward to the ocean crossing adventures!

[@armeddiver]

Bobby, I am a subscriber of your channel here and on Patron. I love to watch [all] your adventures whether it is showing us a new places or showing us something about maintaining the boat. I have learned a lot from you and one of the main things I have learned is that I never want to own a boat. At 68 I am too old to learn all I would need to know to operate and maintain it, and I am not sure I have the physical capability anymore. I will be anxiously looking forward your videos of your new boat.

[@TheJohndeere466]

Most detroit 2 strokes have 4 exhaust valves per cylinder but no intake valves. The intake air is blown in through ports at the bottom of the cylinder by the blower.

[@larrymayberry2312]

I kept wondering how long it would take you to want to sail the oceans again. Good luck Bobby

[@richards6367]

Great review of the boat Bobby, I’m sure it will be snapped up, if I was living there I would grab it, very nice,y kitted boat and you have done some really good upgrades

[@kevmed64]

I don't know if this extremely detailed, well-presented video will help or hurt in selling the boat 😁 It is VERY eye-opening as far as what you'll be getting into and what you'll have to manage and maintain. But I guess, it's all about the passion for sailing 😍

[@blewyd]

People buying a boat like this, of this age, should know what they're getting into. I see too many learning the hard way and dont have the ability to fix themselves or afford someone else to do it. I have a Hat 52, lots of maintenance no matter how many upgrades are/were made.

[@SoupyOatmeal]

Very nice boat review , one thing about the boat is that it is outfitted and ready to go. I have watches quite a few boat walk thrus and for someone that does no do this day in a nd day out your review was pretty good.

[@jefferyflett6938]

Wish I had the resources, time and knowledge. I hope the Dark Side finds a new home quickly. Looking forward to living vicariously through your adventures.

[@brucerhodes8197]

It's been a good run, with half of the world still shut down for covid, she's been a great boat for hopping around the Caribbean, I've enjoyed your adventures, but for me, I do like the long passages and seeing more of the different cultures as you island hop around the globe... Hope she sells quickly so you can get on with your world travel without stressing about selling her...

[@athloneduke]

Good luck with the sale, I’ll miss The Dark Side, it’s been fun

[@Niagra2011]

Great job Bobby! Good luck to you Sir.

[@nicolasreed8002]

Those 2-stroke Detroit Diesels are crazy! Apparently they will still fully function UPSIDE DOWN!! The U.S. Navy apparently has a love affair with them because they've been buying them for over 100 years for the Fleet. They are very simple designs that are very robust. They will continue to function even if you somehow capsize your boat. Bonkers.

[@portfoliofotoz]

The 8v92s are great engines. When Dark Side is eventually cut up, someone will take the 8v92s out and rebuild them and they'll keep going.

[@greglarry4256]

i knew it bobby . sweet deal man, congratz ! cant wait to see it.

[@thereissomecoolstuff]

We go back and forth between power and sail. A catamaran would be great but marinas charge double moorage because you take 2 spots unless you get an end tie. Which are rare. If your cruising it's not a worry. $350k is big $$$. Goodluck.

[@joshlall]

Awesome gonna miss it but i have been waiting for you to get a Cat! hopefully the deal goes through! Can not wait to see it! Congrats bobby!

[@richardnorris4255]

loved the avionics slip...... any more Flying Doodles on the horizon ?

[@flyerjack1548]

This!!! I originally found flying doodles first, then went back and started the sailing Doodles series as a subscriber. I remember watching Bobby making the ramps so Goose and Maverick could get in and out of that tiny original sailboat!!! Please use some of your shoreside time to do a few Flying Doodles episodes each year!! I really enjoyed meeting good guy pilots and learning about their planes!!!

[@charliex666able1]

Ya know, you can watch enough videos to know Bobby took care of this boat. It may not be perfect, but it's in good shape. Cannot wait for getting back to sailing! Circumnavigation going to be awesome.

[@jaytruesdale5587]

Very nice! The only thing i would add is night shots of the LEDs.

[@pschweiz]

Wow. Good luck selling the boat. I hope you get the full price. Looking forward to seeing you sailing again!

[@Movieman1965]

No one usually gets the full price. People always try to negotiate down. So, you add 10-15% to the price you want.

[@itsmetheeprd]

[@CaptainJohnmaddux]

Stephanie the nice job of cleaning up the boat for this video. I wonder what she could do with parlay revival‘s boat LOL

[@richb313]

I do not think you will have a real difficult time selling the boat as demand is exceeding supply for those with means to afford such things. I suspect the same issues are at play for your new Cat. That should open up long distance cruising to you and like the rest hope Stephanie will be part of the first crew.

[@deand9730]

Everyone keeps mentioning the high cost of fuel, but where I boat most of the people with this kind of boat only go out once or twice a month. Basically, they are used as condos on the water. It will sell, maybe not for 350 but something close.

[@Hotspur37]

Awesome boat tour, just need $350,00. If I had that i would live your lifestyle not just watch it on youtube, but here we are LOL. Look forward to seeing more sailing adventures

Когда я возвращалась из универа, на двери подъезда было объявление, написанное от руки: "Потеряла 100 рублей, кто найдёт - верните, пожалуйста, в квартиру 76, пенсия маленькая, хлеб не на что купить". В 76 квартире жила та старушка. Я достала из кошелька 100 рублей и поднялась на 5 этаж. Когда я отдала старушке деньги, она заплакала: "Ты уже двенадцатый человек, который принёс мне деньги. Спасибо." Я улыбнулась и уже подошла к лифту, когда бабушка сказала мне: "Доченька, сорви объявление с двери, его не я писала". Старушка стояла и плакала. Доброта и сочувствие людей дает мне надежду

Wish I could afford it, but I can't afford the fuel LOL. Good luck Bobby. Can't wait to see the new cat. Congratulations on it BTW.

[@anthonyfreeman5367]

Get an older Hatteras LRC. 4000 NM range at 6 to 10 GPH. Sailing is awesome but NEVER as comfortable as an actual motor yacht for living conditions. Usually, it isn't the range that makes people I've spoken with make the switch to sailing, it's the cost of the fuel.

[@gregsutton2400]

Glad to hear you're getting rid of that boat especially for a fuel prices today. Get back the sailing brother you know that's where it's all at and you seem so much happier when you're sailing instead of running a power boat. Hope you're not off the KZbin for a while I hope you keep posting whatever your endeavors might be love what you do been following you since you started have a great day peace to you and all your endeavors again.
