I enjoy your soft spoken style with these vids. Well done.

[@GarnockReviews]

Thanks Ted, really appreciate the kind words and feedback. Can't believe this weekend will be 1 year running my channel. More videos coming soon 🤠

That’s how to review about!! So knowledgeable about the RIGHT things. .

[@GarnockReviews]

Thank you 🤠 I am glad you enjoyed the review and hope to have more boats to share with you soon

[@landrover4124]

Very professional review without delving into trivial details(e.g. opening every drawer) yet quite enough to schedule a viewing or to compare to other trawlers. Thank you, kind sir.

[@GarnockReviews]

Thank you for the feedback and I am glad you enjoyed the video 😎. I have several more in the pipeline to hopefully share online soon.

I just started watching Acuaholic's KZbin channel and now your videos are being recommended to me. Finally happy with the KZbin algorithm! Great video and thank you 👍

[@GarnockReviews]

Thank you! Nick does an awesome job over on Aquaholic's and I enjoy his videos as well. In some ways our channels are similar, but by being in different sides of the Atlantic, we will rarely review the same boats I imagine. Best of both worlds for everyone to enjoy 😉

[@mdtaylor2274]

@@GarnockReviews it looks like I get the best of both worlds. I'm American living in Portugal and I'm in love with boats. This trawler you reviewed is amazing and I'd love to live on it. Sadly my budget is going to keep me in an apartment lol. Hope you stay safe and keep up the good work 🙏

I don't think I could justify buying a boat while I'm living here in the mountains, but if I were to buy a boat some day, I'd want it to be a boat like this one. You definitely sold me on it.

[@GarnockReviews]

This is a perfect liveaboard and I'm sure a dream of many. In this 100 degree heat, I'm more envious of your mountain retreat right now 🥵🤦‍♂️🤪

[@carldevries178]

Yes! No teak on deck means easier maintenance. I love that hull colour as well. Classy throughout.

[@GarnockReviews]

If I was designing my own boat, I'm a sucker for those fake teak decks with those foam deck options now. I also agree the hull should be painted something other than white. It's the equivalent of putting nice alloy wheels on your car compared to steel wheels with cheap wheel trim covers. Just helps to set the boat apart from all others with a touch of class 🤠

[@philo5096]

No wonder these yachts are valued so high. They look beautiful with the wooden cap rails and blue hull paint. You did an amazing job showing the small details of this yacht, and ones that really matter like scuppers.They seem to be built like a tank. Hopefully it sells quickly

[@GarnockReviews]

Thank you for the kind comments and feedback. I agree this is a very solid boat, especially for it's size. It instantly gives you confidence to tackle any weather.

The Monterey is a nice sports cruiser but the trawler is the way to go for that slow cruise relaxation 🤠

[@ThomasLindstrom-di8so]

Probebly the most interesting boat I seen on YT. However I’v just got the 5 000 dollar.😁 But more importently; it was the absolut best boatpresentation I ever seen. Calm and informativ, not a lot of ”oh, look at the teak” and ”a perfect place to entertian” and that type of s••t. Thanks a lot!😊

[@helimx]

I really enjoy your reviews. You are touring several boats we are researching. Thanks One small suggestion. Your audio. There's a strange pop in between your pauses. It's like your mic is being turned off and on. Makes listening with headphones, challenging.

[@GarnockReviews]

Glad you enjoy my videos and I love constructive feedback. I am due to edit another video this week. I will pay close attention to the audio to see if I can figure out what is making the clicking noise 😉

[@harbourdogNL]

I almost didn't watch this video (thinking "a 20 year old trawler, meh!") but I'm sure glad I did! Spectacular vessel, really built with sea-keeping in mind, just luxurious enough to not detract from its' appeal as a boater's boat, a boat for someone who likes to be at sea. At 13.27 though there seems to be a fair bit of water damage at the top of the stair below that hatch coaming, what's the story on that? (EDIT: I see my question has been answered below, thx.)

[@GarnockReviews]

Thank you for the detailed response. I agree that for the most part, very little of the boat felt like a 20 year old trawler. I would love to do a side by side comparison of new vs old to see what differences there are, if any.

[@PhilbyFavourites]

I noticed that too as the only negative in a exceptionally well cared for vessel. My thoughts were that it had been used in all weathers and that was drips from the wet feet on the top of the access stairway as people enter and exit the pilots house. It’s just a wild guess, but certainly doesn’t detract from what is an immensely capable vessel with a good few years left in her.

[@marklashway]

Let me know if this ever comes back on the market. Thanks

[@GarnockReviews]

Thanks Mark. I know of a similar boat that may be of interest. Can you shoot me an email at [e-mail] and I can send you some info 🤠

[@baltimoreravens1515]

Beautiful

[@GarnockReviews]

This was an early video for my channel, but is still a boat I would short list if I could keep any boat I've featured. I liked this one a lot!

[@andrewbecker2580]

While going from the pilothouse to the fly bridge I novice water damage to the teak veneer. 1. How did that happen? 2. How extensive is the damage? 3. What repairs (if any) were made? 4. No ladder cockpit to flu bridge, is it available?

[@GarnockReviews]

Andrew, good eye! As with any boat, I would always recommend a good survey before purchase. The broker did tell me that the root cause of the leak has been repaired and is ready for any hose down, rain, or sea. If memory serves me correctly I believe it was the window seals that needed replacement. Whatever it was, it has apparently been taken care of. As to the flybridge, I didn't see any ladders when I was on board. However, the flybridge is easily accessed from the helm and with 3 entry points to the helm, I doubt the ladder would ever be used.

[@jaquigreenlees]

The Selene 43 does not have cockpit to flying bridge access by default. The Selene access would cut the cockpit space in half as they normally do it with a curving staircase.

Wow two full bathrooms!

[@vlogcity1111]

@@GarnockReviews I’m honestly confused how they fit so much into the main rooms and bathroom. I’m looking at a 45’ trawler and it just has the main room downstairs and guest beds in the bow with a single bathroom and a shower! No bath! I’m like what the it must be have wider bow than the one I’m looking at.

[@GarnockReviews]

This one has a lot of volume to play with. You should check out some of my Great Harbour videos, those boats have so much space for their size, it's unbelievable

Can you order one with out a fly bridge , its just more maintenance.

[@GarnockReviews]

Thanks Dan, I would imagine you could order it without a flybridge. Might save you both time and money in the process too.

[@deanpeterson5163]

I like the wheelhouse like these, separate and not part of the salon - but don’t find it is a common feature. I just need to find an older model of this to fall within the budget.

[@GarnockReviews]

I love this design as well. It always makes me feel like I am on a little ship rather than just a boat. For some reason, the design is not as common as I would have liked, as most boats have lower helm stations as part of the saloon instead.

[@huggybear2638]

I live in a country that has 220v 50HZ. How would this boat cope. Also I guess the wiring throughout the boat is 110 Volt 60HZ and appliances are the same.? Also all the plugs look American.

[@GarnockReviews]

Hey Graeme, if you asked that question years ago, it would no doubt be a deal breaker. However, these days it is very easy to travel the world when it comes to electrics without rewiring the entire boat. The secret, is making sure you have the right inverters installed. Here is an article that explains it better than I can www.cruisingworld.com/how/wired-world.

[@jaquigreenlees]

An important question for ANYONE looking to make an offer on any Selene prior to 2013: Does she come with full diagrams of the plumbing and electrical systems? The 2012 model year was the last year Selene yachts each had individual wiring and plumbing plans, client feedback made them create a standard plan for each model starting in 2013. The large hatch in the forward stateroom also being an escape hatch is actually a requirement for CE Category A certification, every CE Category A yacht can claim that feature. ;)

[@GarnockReviews]

Good info!! I am not sure if they have drawings or not, but in this particular example I am not sure they would be as relevant. This boat has had a lot of electrical and electronic upgrades over the years that I am not convinced the drawings would hold as much value now.

[@jaquigreenlees]

@@GarnockReviews you will need to replace the wires, knowing how they run makes it easier. knowing how the plumbing runs makes any repairs easier. The diagrams or lack aren't a deal breaker, they aren't hard to make. The knowledge they give is valuable for future repairs / refits.

[@trailerparksupervisor7046]

Is it possible to operate a boat of this size single handed?

[@GarnockReviews]

I wouldn't say any boat of this size could be easily handled by 1 person, but this particular boat is fully equipped for it. Not only do you have deck access straight from the helm on both sides, but both decks have engine and thruster control units. You even have a lanyard that allows you to control the bow and stern thrusters so you could keep it pinned to a pontoon while you tie up ropes.

[@tinkmarshino]

Sweet.. I could see me and my mate out fishing salmon or tuna in comfort and style with this beauty.. to bad she is sold..

[@GarnockReviews]

This one can do it all from cruising, fishing, diving, liveaboard, and anything in-between! Not many boats as well rounded as this one!

[@tonybazz53]

To replace this boat with something comparable new would run well over a million. I wonder what it sold for? Anyone know? Over 300 large?

[@GarnockReviews]

I honestly don't know the final sale price, but I know this one had a lot of attention. This video alone has over 100k views. I also know the survey found no major issues, so I'd be willing to bet north of $300k for sure 😉

[@gerrymccarthy9568]

Lovely boat! One engine? Passage Maker? Don’t think so. Marina queen perhaps?

[@GarnockReviews]

Thanks for watching and I agree about it being a lovely boat. This one is no marina queen, and has cruised extensively before and after this video.

[@taylorwebb2410]

Is price negotiable?

[@GarnockReviews]

I am sure the broker / owners would welcome any serious offer, the worse that can happen is they say no. If you are serious about making an offer, can you shoot me an email to [e-mail] with what your offer is, and your contact details etc? I will gladly forward this on to them for review.

[@jimmymcgovern5318]

Only 5 berth???am i right???

You would have the owners double cabin, a twin guest cabin, the pilot watch berth, but you also have a double convertible in the saloon if needed as well.

I'm in the market for a retirement yacht that can take me and my telescopes kkewl places. (I'm an amateur astronomer, CAPITOL ON THE AMATEUR), and would like to be able to go to areas where there is low light pollution.

[@GarnockReviews]

Thank you so much for the compliments. This was one of my early videos, and I try to improve with each video I make. You are right about going offshore for astronomy. I didn't appreciate how much light pollution we have in towns and cities until I went offshore and night and saw the difference. I hope you enjoy some of my other videos, and good luck with your retirement plans 😊

@@GarnockReviews will do sir, and keep posting. maybe you will come across the right boat for me. I am currently designing a telescope mount on a gymbal mount so that images may be tracked while the boat moves with the sea. I need to find a boat with enough space on the boat deck to mount it.

Bert, we are both in the same boat (pardon the pun!). Most of my videos are dream boats and "if I won the lotto" moments. However, I recently went to the Daytona Boat Show and Jacksonville Boat Show and stocked up on a bunch of more affordable content. Center consoles, bow riders, pontoons, and some start around $15k I believe. More affordable boats are coming into the mix very soon.

Thanks for watching and I welcome the feedback. This video was one of my earlier videos and because of the feedback, I don't use any music now. I think I have 2 maybe 3 videos with music, the rest do not. It was a lesson learned and an experiment but the results didn't pay off 😉

[@andy2222able]

$400K is a bit steep for a big boat with one small engine with 3000 hrs, no?

[@GarnockReviews]

Andy, thank you for watching my video. I used to be a boat broker but I am out that field and only do video reviews now. I can say this boat has a very high spec and benefited from upgrades from the current owner. Trawler yachts always hold on to their value well, and often single engines are preferred for easier access and lower running costs. I am sure the broker / owner would welcome any serious offer............worse that could happen is they say no 😉

[@jaquigreenlees]

I'm sure if you check the listings she also has a smaller "get home" engine. Very few single engine trawler yachts do not have a secondary backup engine, drive shaft and propeller offset from the main engine, usually on the port side. Those that don't have a hydraulic drive from the larger generator to the main shaft to provide the same functionality.
