Shopping for a Cruising Boat? Keep these things in mind!

Our consulting clients have been coming up with some great questions and in the spirit of sharing the love (and information), we put together five lists of five things to consider if you are in the market for a cruising boat. From what to watch out for in the survey to why a used boat makes more sense, to what easy upgrades we would suggest, it's all here in a fun little package. And at the end, a bonus! A quick tour of a True North 38 powerboat. Pretty sweet.

Get Her on Board is about getting that significant other to buy into this cruising nonsense. People seem to like it. All proceeds go to our dog Sugar.

Live on the Margin is about making money on the go trading stocks and options. I co-wrote it with Pat Schulte of Bumfuzzle. People seem to like that one too. All proceeds donated to our boat.

"Cocktails for 6, dinner for 4, sleeps 2"... brill

I’ve been guilty of focusing too much on the boat. I think I have decided to go smaller just to get going. One thing you said which has stuck with me, and probably converted my wife was this sentence “You can always make more money, but you cannot make more time”. I might make a t-shirt with that. I really enjoy the positivity and sense of calmness in your videos, hopefully we will meet on the oceans in the not to distant future.

LIKE THE WAY YOU GUYS CONDUCT YOUR ADVICE, I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE DO THE SAME ADVICE BUT YOU GOT A WAY TO PUT THING THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE , KEEP UP THE GOOD WORKS

[@agc812]

This video is incredibly valuable to those of us who are working to buy our first boat. Thanks guys, and kudos to the folks who named their boat Oblio!

Thank you for taking the time to share.

I've been in love with the idea of giving up the rat race and going cruising for a while now, and finally realising I don't necessarily need a 45' cat to do it. Now I'm asking myself "How small is too small?" and "How basic is too basic?", too do the kind of sailing you guys do?. I'm 52 and I do enjoy my creature comforts, but I've reached the place where I'm definitely willing to make some compromises/sacrifices to get out and live a little.

Great tips! Congratulations and Thank you for sharing your experiences!

[@pbertf24]

Very nice Nick ! some great information you guys had a great learning curve over the years and it’s nice to share it with all of us ! Thanks , Pierre

[@arumrunner]

Some of the best cruising advise on the net, thanks for doing that for everyone. Cheers.

[@profclaudiorobertogomes171]

Thanks for the explanations, they were useful. Congratulations on the didactics, the diction and the slow way of speaking, facilitates the understanding of the language.

[@NELLIE3588]

Great tips...just remember that buying a used boat is buying someone else’s troubles in spite of the so called “survey.” That’s why they sell. Other than that some real informative information and in-depth insight to ownership. Two thumbs up!! The Mossback Sailor.

[@dalewestman3405]

great production, probably the most concise post, much appreciated, thank you (been subscribed and watching for two years)

[@idgafnation8620]

I love your "training lessons" for us dreamers out there. With experience on Mono's and Cat's it's always great to hear the pro and con in a completely honest way. thank you for that

[@adrianthered9876]

[@Nick-un1em]

[@giovannifiorentino8947]

Amazing episode. Nick and Megan, you're the best.

[@jonas8075]

I am investigating my options to get a used cat and your advices are super for me as a "noob". Just found you guys since I am searching like crazy for info so I do not make an expensive mistake, so thanks very much and will for sure keep on following you!

[@cindyrodger4867]
