Congrats! Well deserved! "The whole world is a different place when traveling by water!" 100% totally agree! What you think is so familiar to you in your area of the world becomes a completely different experience by water. 2D becomes 3D! Thanks for inspiring others in this way!

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

2D becomes 3D. I love it!!

[@Chillin_in_AZ]

Greetings from the desert Southwest. Indeed, a milestone, but you are certainly to be congratulated for the time and effort you put in to sharing your time and travels on Boogaboo. As a relatively recent follower of all that is KZbin, it is a pleasure to follow you, Anchor Girl, and your kitties throughout your lovely part of the world. I also enjoy following Sam and Rev on their journeys. Here's to you all! 😺

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

Many thanks! Hoping to be back in the water in the next couple of weeks :-)

[@fredruinen948]

Thank you Paul for all of your wonderful videos and sense of humor. I have thoroughly enjoyed them all and have learned a lot from all of your how you do it videos.

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

You are very welcome! I'll have a couple more How I Did It videos coming soon, with the first - replacing the aft AC unit - coming out shortly after launch. And that momentous event should be happening in a couple of weeks!!

[@mattie3595]

Deserve the 25K Paul. Lotta work doing, drone, editing, etc. We appreciate it.

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

Much appreciated! More to come - especially with the '24 season right around the corner 😁

[@lindamaurice9923]

Congratulations Paul and Anchor girl. Love your videos

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

Thanks for following along!!

[@markmerritt6089]

Beautiful scenery, what's not to like. Thanks for taking us along.

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

As I mentioned in the video, my inspiration was and is to inspire others through sharing the beautiful areas we are so fortunate to witness in person. . . And the odd Vacuflush repair to keep things really interesting 😉

[@ampegor]

Congrats you deserve it. Always great content. Again as always thanks for sharing.

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

Thanks for that. I really enjoy putting the videos together and sharing my love of boating, so it's my pleasure.

[@nelsonongai9506]

If I cant congradulate you, then thank you for the great vids over the years. Always love watching...cheers

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

My pleasure! Lots more to come 😀

[@stevendykstra7099]

First place I come for tips on my new (to me) Sea Ray. The maintenance videos are so helpful for a new boat owner.

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

Glad to help! I'll be sharing a couple of upgrade videos this season, including swapping out our aft heat/Air unit this Spring.

[@stevendykstra7099]

@@BoatingWithBoogabooIt's been awesome. My buddy and I both have new to us Sea Ray 320 and 300. So all of your maintenance and upgrade videos are super helpful. More of those would be great! Like your one on the marine electronics (radar, etc) upgrade. That stuff is a massive help, since it's so hard to find videos on. Currently looking at amp/speaker replacement, and also need to do fuel filter and gear shift lube. No videos anywhere! That's why yours are so awesome. Thanks Paul!

[@SeaRaySnob]

Proud to be a subscriber. Enjoy all the videos you do and the information you provide. here's to a great 2024 boating season.

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

Happy to have you along for the fun 😀

Thanks Keith! Lots more to come, including some drone shots I took yesterday over a 'dry' TSW canal ;-)

Congrats on by your 25,000 subscribers You do an amazing job, always looking forward to the new videos.

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

Even if they're only about those Sea Ray boats 🤣 Thanks!

[@markburley4901]

Congratulations Paul! Quite a milestone and a testament to the videos and their creativity and information. Personally, I've been a subscriber since 2012 when were in the process of buying our 1995 370 Sundancer. As you know we sold that and are currently landlubbers. Thanks for keeping boating, and the Searay 370 alive for me. Cheers!

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

Since 2012? Yup, that sounds about right! Thanks for 12 years of fun and reminiscing. More wake shots coming soon 😉

[@WhatYachtToDo]

Congratulations to the both of you! You have dedicated so much to educating others and also entertaining us! Sam and Rev

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

Thanks guys! I'm still amazed by how many folks like to follow my content. Better than the evening news, I guess 😉

I found you in 2017 as I was shopping for a boat to do my bucket list trip. I do appreciate your sharing.

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

My pleasure, as always! Here's to another great season 😀

You have inspired and taught us plenty. Many of the Sea Rays throughout the world have you to thank for keeping them up and running. My '99 310 included. I hope you're in the water soon!

I'm just fortunate enough to be able to work on our boat and share what I learn along the way. Happy to help where I can! More projects coming up soon...

@@BoatingWithBoogaboo Yes. And that’s a great Zeppelin tune!

[@jeffjambeck6314]

Congrats Paul, you are very inspiring and have awesome videos. Even though we don't have a Sea Ray, your "how I did it" have helped me complete projects on our boat. I look forward to your videos this season with the new crew member Mocha and Tiny too. Hope to get to the Trent severn waterway some day as it is absolutely beautiful up there. Cheers!

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

Glad my insights have helped out with your boat! And yes, we are also looking forward to seeing how the two crazy Kitty Kats are gonna do on Boogaboo this year. Little Tiny will be fine, but Mocha might be a bit of a handful, as he has a very unique and active personality 😉

[@BobEstler]

Congratulations on 25K.

Thanks Bob 🎉

Love your videos. I live in Niagara but a sleep aboard boat is out of my range. It's great following along with your vacations..keep it up!

Congratulations on your 25k! New canvas being installed on April 5th here in Maryland! Hoping for some early season runs up the Severn to Annapolis.

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

I just looked up the Severn River at Annapolis to see where you're at and Google Maps showed a warning for coastal flooding in the area. Hope you stay safe!

[@stephenjarvis6078]

Congrats Paul, We are going to join you in the Trent Severn this season. We just had our survey completed last week on our new to us '95 Carver 325 in Bobcaygeon.

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

That 325 is gonna be a great boat to cruise through the Trent Severn Waterway 👍 Have fun!!

[@TheRetiredBoater]

Paul, amazing to see your love of the water and the boating world. I (and I continue to do so) lived vicariously through you for some time before "you made me" buy my 2001 Sundancer 2.5 years ago to see what it was all about and man, yeah, I get it :) Best choice ever. It's always amazing how it feels like when I see a new Boogaboo video on KZbin: I comfortably sit on the lazy chair and I pause it once or twice and go for a walk, then I come back minutes later, all in a bid to make it last, lol. No matter what you say, I find it to be interesting: anchor girl, boating, thoughts, passion, repairs, the cat, the vibe... And Paul, omg-omg, what a !shocker! to see that you mentioned my boating channel in your video! I couldn't bring my family members fast enough to watch it with me!! I'm speechless and this never happens... It feels like I'm now officially part of the boating community and if I can bring something to the boating world to give back, while having fun doing so and this more than qualifies, then yeah, count me in! How motivating! Ironially, yesterday I was at the marina filming the last of my upcoming video while you posted yours and in it I mentioned your channel. Cheers my friend to a new boating season that's just around the corner (can you believe it!?) and... thank you for everything.

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

Glad you saw my shoutout. But you realize that it comes with a price - one that you can fulfill by sharing more of your own videos 😉 Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!!

[@TheRetiredBoater]

Indeed, sharing videos on an ongoing basis is the plan with one coming up in a few days, all packaged in great fun! 🚤

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

@TheRetiredBoater Looking forward to it/them 😀

[@wizardking8528]

Hello Paul and Anchor Girl! My wife and I are huge fans of your KZbin Channel and we enjoy watching all of your videos very much. You do a really great job creating your videos and they are both educational and enjoyable. I would like to ask where do you order your "authentic" Sea Ray replacement part? I'm especially interested in ordering replacement dash pannels for our 1992 Sea Ray 370 Sundancer. Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

If you watch my video on changing the electronics aboard Boogaboo, I show the replacement panels I used, as well as where they came from (including a link in the video description) kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5i3mZ-CbLCAbbcsi=6RIH_W1Rxa-Ym5--

[@lakeescapeii2539]

Thank you for sharing your adventures with us! My question is about the season pass for the Trent. If someone from out of the area was to come to visit the Trent, would they have to pay to utilize the locks and stay tied up for an evening? How does the system actually work?

[@BoatingWithBoogaboo]

It doesn't matter where one comes from, getting a lock pass is really easy. And, probably no surprise, but I have a couple of videos on the subject 😉 Lock Fees video. One note that I didn't mention in this one is that pasees can be purchased at pretty much any lock station. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKLEk5xtfaucmZosi=wg3PDTeYvcnE3XcO And, here's my video regarding Mooring fees; kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZLch2WggNiYiLcsi=Ue1KvaMmVa-7Etc3 It's all pretty simple and stress-free. No need to sweat it ahead of time, as the lock staff are all extremely accommodating and helpful. Besides, they work for the government (Parks Canada), so they'll be happy to help boaters and take your money 😁 BTW, Anchor Girl and I have been watching your videos - sometimes more than once - and we're looking forward to seeing what you guys get into this season!
