You mentioned 'to bring the family along' and that had me laughing and cringing at the same time. I worked on a 70' Viking and we did multi-day charters down to the Bahamas and back and out boat was unique in that it had a 4 bunk room in the bow, the master, a VIP, the 2 bunk beds and then near the engine room, 2 more bunk beds. So we ran with the captain, a deck stew and 2 deck hands. That left the master, the VIP and the 4 bunk beds. So when guys wanted to do their 'guys fishing trip' with their buddies and brought their families along, it was always a disaster. For one, the kids had nothing to do. We had an old Sega Genesis on board, but we had Mortal Kombat 1 amd 2, and some Navy Seal game. So the kids were bored. Especially if it was a couple in the master, a couple in VIP and 4 kids in the bunks, but even worse if it was all couples and 2 couples were in the bow. They would fight about money and they paid the same so they should get the master or VIP, the wives were bored because they thought we stopped in the Bahamas every night and we would, once but everything there closes after 8 and we would get in at like 5 or 6 and the only other time we were there was to clear customs and that took amd hour usually and we left. Bringing families woukd ruin a trip. They would ask us tomtake them to port, do an island picnic, assumed we watched their kids for them. We didn't. Wasn't that type of yacht. In exchange, we got horrible tips because although the guys loved it, their wives and kids ruined it and their experience. We had pictures ofmguys catxhung thejr dream swordfish or mahi and tuna, but the look on their faces was like defeat. Their wives woukd be inside complaining or off to the side complaining and being brats. Unless they were into fishing it sucked. We would try tomget the kids involved and have them catch bait. But we weren't there for that and their parents coukd have stepped in, but few did. Anyways, it was just triggering old memories. Sorry so long. Wanted you to experience the full effect of the what it was like. And the yacht was called 'Don't Tell the Wife'..

That's the most detailed response to why there is only 1 helm, and it's upstairs that I've read 🤪

Now that's the fishing boat I'm talking about!

[@GarnockReviews]

I thought you might like this one 😁

Thank you 😊

WOW!! A pair of 3406E's and only 800 gallons of fuel...pretty short range I'm thinkin'. Incredibly clean vessel and obviously well cared for. Thanks for this showing. I enjoyed seeing her!

[@GarnockReviews]

Thanks Rusty. I love how she's as much a yacht as she is a fishing boat. Could easily enjoy days or even weeks at a time onboard.

[@pauljalbert5454]

I’m amazed and how nice and clean that boat is beautiful!!

[@GarnockReviews]

You would never believe this one is over 20 years old. Extremely clean and well maintained. Thanks for watching 😉

[@bryannolte4910]

This would definitely make a great Live aboard!! You wouldn't know it was a 2001 as beautifully as she is!! Great presentation, thank you! 🛥 ✌️🏳️‍🌈✌️

[@GarnockReviews]

Thanks Bryan. If you told me she was approaching 5 years old instead of approaching 25, I'd believe you! Very clean and well maintained with tasteful upgrades over the years 🤠

You had me Googling, and the weird part is, I'm off to Ft Lauderdale Boat Show this week, which is held in the marina where his boat was based.
