The way you launch and retrieve your boat with such skill and ease puts a lot of the other boaters in the other videos shown on youtube ,mainly in Florida, look like total beginners.No need for those bits of plastic sticking up to help them guide their boats on to the trailers. A masterclass in all aspects of boating.

[@fat_tommo_goes_boating]

Yes there is a boat at Rockley Point in Dorset England, called Seas the day too

Thank you Albert for posting this video

[@albertho_]

You are welcome

[@EytheriaNoCopyrightMusic]

didn't know they worked like that! cool insights!

[@wavepiercer6569]

Super - well done

[@albertho_]

Thank you 😊

[@makimbo101]

Nice rundown on getting in and out! Good instructional video. Thanks for posting.

[@albertho_]

You are welcome 🤗

[@paulcollings5424]

Calmly done sir ! Shows what preparation and planning can do. You've given me confidence in tackling my 5.8m launch on my own. Southampton, England.

[@albertho_]

Yes, practice make perfect. Enjoy with your boat 👍

[@DIYglenn]

Hmm.. I've always been taught NOT to submerge the trailer. The wheels should never touch water. But here it's mostly salt water though. I usually stop before the water hits the rim, just tire in the water, and then just winch it out. It starts floating pretty quickly.

Nice video!

[@albertho_]

Thank you.

[@user-ht5fl6np7b]

謝謝你的分享！🍾️👍👏

[@masterluke5900]

Very informative, well done! What dealer in BC is selling the Antares?

[@albertho_]

M&P Mercury

[@masterluke5900]

Thank you sir!

[@GG2007ski]

Very good instructions and video! May I ask what is consumption l/hour with average speed, normal driving?

[@albertho_]

Around 80 litres per hour normal driving.

[@user-wd5yw4kv1f]

hello my friend! good videos! have you watched Antares 6 live? if so, how do you like it? I like it a lot, but 7 is also beautiful) thanks for the answer!

[@albertho_]

Thank you for watching my video. I haven’t see the Antares 6 live, but I believe it is very similar to the Antares 7. Antares 6 is a little smaller than the 7, but it’s a nice boat that can easily tow by any car.

[@user-wd5yw4kv1f]

Hello my friend! How is the Antares 7 doing?) I haven’t bought the Antares 6 yet, I’m already thinking about how to get it from you) my head is spinning, and I want 6 and 7) tell me what kind of boat you had before the Antares 7?

[@albertho_]

@@user-wd5yw4kv1f My boat is doing great last season. My Antares 7 is being covered and waiting for the 2024 season. I can't wait to meet the sea again. Previously, I owned a used 2008 Maxum 2100 SC3. 21foot boat with a cuddy. It was a stern drive not outboard.

[@user-wd5yw4kv1f]

At a cruise speed of 35/38 km/h, how much is your gasoline consumption on a 175 engine?

[@user-wd5yw4kv1f]

I’m happy for you, the video shows how happy you are when you’re on the boat)

[@dmitrykutin6002]

What's the maximum speed and On which propeller?

[@albertho_]

31 knots. Stainless Prop size 15x15p RH

[@lars-eirikkolbeinsen208]

How do you avoid that the wheel bearings and the brakes get affected by the water? Is it salty water?

[@albertho_]

Yes, that's salt water. None of my wheels are touching the water. Only the trailer.

[@lars-eirikkolbeinsen208]

@@albertho_ Yes, of course. I ment the wheel bearings and brakes on your trailer.

[@albertho_]

@@lars-eirikkolbeinsen208 I flush with fresh water everytime I finished boating. So far so good.

[@beaniril8870]

You got brakes on your trailer?

[@albertho_]

Yes and also I have brakes controller
