We love the ocean and boating! We cruise in our 2001 Sea Ray 400 Sedan Bridge, Calypso II, on the South Coast of Massachusetts and Cape Cod and the Islands. Join us on our adventures - we share favorite ports and places to visit, favorite boating products, and how-tos.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
+ Our current boat - Calypso II, a 2001 Sea Ray 400 Sedan Bridge:
In 2019, we wanted a new boat that was bigger and had a longer range, so we targeted 40-footers with diesel power to achieve both of these goals. With our criteria and budget, we searched for a diesel-powered Sea Ray 400 Sedanbridge 2001 or newer. After scouring the Internet we found a boat on the Chesapeake Bay which would become Calypso II.
+ Specs - 2001 Sea Ray 400 Sedan Bridge:
• Length: 40 feet
• Beam: 14 feet
• Draft: 4 feet
• Fuel: diesel 350 gal
• Power: 2 Caterpillar 3126 inboard straight-shaft turbocharged diesel engines 350hp each

---------------------------------------------------------------------
+ Where we cruise:
Calypso II is moored in Sippican Harbor in Marion, MA - in Buzzards Bay. We use our boat to explore the islands, ports, coves, and harbors of this amazing place.
For overnight boating, we often head to Cuttyhunk Island, Martha’s Vineyard Island or Nantucket Island, off the coast of Massachusetts. In 2021, we plan to head to Maine to explore some of the beautiful harbors and ports of Southern and Mid-Coast Maine.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
+ Our commitment to the sea:
Because we enjoy boating and the fun it brings our family, we are committed to protecting the bays, harbors, and oceans we cruise on, as well as the ones we dream about. Starting with following no-discharge rules, not using disposable plastic bottles, and only using biodegradable products on Calypso II, we try to do our part to preserve this invaluable resource.

Hi! Great video! I tried to find the excel in your web page but could not find it. Can you please send it to me? Best regards Magnus
Although you sound like Ben Stein when doing your over dubs, the comparisons were awesome!!
Don't need 12 months each of dock/mooring AND winter storage, do you? And if you're going to TOW it, do you need either? And haul/launch fees for a trailered boat?
I was expecting to see a rubber raft or kayak😊
It’s almost getting to that point. New boats prices in the 30 40 foot range are just crazy!
It’s what I’m looking for,unfortunately JFB has things all messed up right now I’ll wait till next year but I’m looking now
this does not boost hp. Adding more fuel will just make the mixture rich so it might have a bit more torque but it will loose peak hp. To get more hp you need to add more fuel and air.
Where can I order this fixture
No way. Projecting. Bayliner or Meridian sport trawler/cruiser with diesels smashes these boats in every category at this price point. Edit: Good effort though, good effort.
Great Channel I enjoy all the content! I think I remember your boat one night in Cuttyhunk, we had a crazy storm come through. Hope your swim platform was okay. I’ll never forget that lighting and rain.
Thank you! I appreciate the feedback. Yes my swim platform too $4,000 to repair... ouch! I need up taking off the dingy arms that caused the damage and replaced them with a different system.
Very nice clean engines!
Thnaks. I find that keeping the engines clean is the best way to spot any leaks.
I have just bought a display 8hp Parsun motor. I understand it is a Mercury/Tohatsu clone. I plan on doing this exact same conversion, using an inexpensive generic 9.8hp carb. Can you please elaborate on what was misaligned so that the choke was jammed?
Do you have any photos of the underwater light's? Curious if they are factory or if they installed new ones
The performance shown is I believe for v drives . What improvement does the stern drive make ?
Great question! Stern drives definitely would see a speed improvement as much as 6-8 knots and a corresponding reduction in fuel burn. Stern drive v. v-drive is always a trade off of performance v. maneuverability and maintenance with the latter being easier and slower.
Climate change , buy the pilothouse cruiser with h.v.a.c. . and solar panels up there on the roof . You'll be glad you did .
@1:08 Please refrain from introducing additional noise after muting the recording due to wind interference next time. It can be quite bothersome.
I guess you also need the exhaust port round part.
Did they make older boots built stronger and better? Like how cars are now. New ones suck!
That’s because the boating market is too high
this is 2 years old how could this help me buy boat now BS
We’re looking for a yacht used for under $100,000 live board with a sliding rear patio style window entrance. The more like a condo it is the better. Two bedroom two bathroom. Can you recommend some models in that price range?

What an absolute pig. At 8.5 knots, consumption is 3.78 litres per mile. Ridiculous.
There are no " State Rooms" on this boat . There is a forward berth, barely a cabin.
If it's got a motor, a propeller, or a VA whinah,,you're gonna have problems with it.
italy limit boat , stupid frances
This video is so bad, it is almost comical. 😂
1:32. That didn’t age well.
Thanks for this. It's the first time that I've seen the motor being held instead of mounted to a frame while it was run. I think you have just saved me a lot of time and money.
Nice boat. I think I would prefer that over xxxxtug brands
It is very nice with good craftsmanship. You don't see many like it in the states but they are sold here. A similar brand is Sargo.
Love to have that exel sheet
Happy to send it to you. Send me an e mail on our website, Cruisingcalypso .com and I will send it to you.
Will do thank ypu.
"Pass me the wrench...no, not that wrench" As a female owner of a vessel equipped with a CAT3126, I can appreciate that exchange! Learning a lot from your videos. Thanks!
i think you used wrong bleeder .should be the one above the filter been the highest point . NEVER use a wrench
How much?
If your in Australia not much. Everything is so overpriced here
"I Did. Thanks".
My 1967 27ft fibreglass/Hemp composite canoe, with cracked hull and broken seat, has better features than this rust bucket! 😡 Like, when the weather starts getting rough, and my tiny ship gets tossed, if it wasn’t for the courage of the fearless crew, (me) the Minnow would be lost! The Minnow would be lost!
Thanks for your comment. Id love to see that canoe with 6-8 people aboard and try to sleep 4. Sounds amazing!
9.9 is completely different bigger block more weight. 8-9.8 are proven motors for tohatsu dont break if it isnt broke.
Yes, the 9.9 is a different motor than the 8-9.8. Upping t6he horsepower of the 8 to 9.8 is an easy inexpensive way to increase the power and make the engine more useful.
@@CruisingCalypso lots of variables there. If being used as a kicker no noticeable gains. If using on a dingy then perhaps but is it worth it? Unless the carb was gummed beyond cleaning perhaps but in small hp applications meh the bigger 9.9 will have better torque. 4-6hp single cylinder though is generally a good upgrade
I'll take it.
This is a great video. Thank you for this information into my early retirement for my Great Loop adventure and travel and life out my life on the water.
Hi, very informative forna beginner like me. One question, did you use marine oil
Hi, Thanks for your comment. The oil is not specific to marine use just use the recommended weight and viscosity.
Thanks for the tour. A lot to like in this boat. I think view forward from the aft helm station would be adequate, but it's hard to know until you try it out. A real benefit would be docking -- the helmsman can see both transom corners when docking stern-to. And as you said, the helmsman is able to converse easily with guests sitting forward of the helm. I see so many Hinckley picnics boats running by my place with a lonely helmsman in the cabin and all the other passengers having fun in the cockpit aft -- very unsatisfactory. I think the covered area between the salon and aft cockpit in the Riviera would be delightful -- shaded but open air, very comfortable. The three cabin layout is fine, but I wonder if there is a two-cabin layout with a grand midship cabin available? That would be my choice. The only drawback to the Riviera is the need for isinglass for protection on the upper deck -- that stuff is horrible to look through.
that background noise 🤯
😥 "PromoSM"
Curious, why wouldn't you consider the Carver for open ocean? Is it stability related, motor related? Or just quality in general that it cannot handle that type of usage? Just wondering.
Hi thanks for your question. Carver made good boats, now sadly out of business. Generally speaking, this class of boat including many Searays, Cruisers and Regal boats are really intended for coastal cruising or within 50 miles from shore. these boats have neither the range or the stability to be long distance ocean cruisers like a Nordhavn or a Flemming. The is s good. thing because a Norhavn is too much boat for coastal cruisng. Its all about matching the tool to the job.
Dude did you voice Chris from family guy Lol
Given it's 2023, just wondering if getting a sea ray 340 as far back as say 2006-2007 is hazardous? Hazardous meaning is it too old and I should budget for more things to fix? Any and all comments welcomed by those who have gone through it. Thanks in advance.
Hi, Great question. The 340 is a great sized boat. Plenty of room for day boating and overnighting but not to big and expensive to operate. 2006-2007 certainly not to old, you can go older and still get a great boat! Sundancers are pretty tough boats.that hold up well assuming they are taken care of. As long as the engines have been maintained, manifolds replaced as needed, and other maintenance items taken care of, you will be fine. Th one thing you will need to look into is I belie th e 8.1s horizon engines that the model has , used something called the "cool fuel" module. This is a device that water cools the fuel pump to try to prevent vapor lock on hot days. Depending on which gen of this module, early versions can be problematic . I believe th e issues were worked out with the gun III version which can be retrofitted if necessary. Not a large cost item but they can be a headache. The earlier 340s through 2002 ish has the 7,4 l motors, similar power and no cool fuel but the boat was a different design. Other areas to be aware of. The water system is pretty robust but has filters that can clog if the water sits around for a while. Easy to clean out. That pretty much it. Happy to discuss more. I have been on many 340s.
@@CruisingCalypso thanks so much for your reply. It helps alot as I am currently looking at 2002-2007 340 Sun dancers. They fit the bill in terms of price, size of boat, and functionality of the boat.
Sorry just found this video. I have 2000 310 dancer. Looking at diesels on 38 foot fly. Which for you is easier to dock? Calypso I or II
Hi, Great question! They are different. The 310 had little windage so was no blown around much and was pretty easy to dock. The 400 is taller and can be affected by the wind. That having been said, the diesels have a ton of torque and as soon as you put it in gear, it responds well. Both being inboard in my opinion are pretty easy to dick once yogurt use to them. Both are docile and don't do anything unexpected.
What's the dry wt/towing wt for this boat?
The data I have says 8,000 lbs which I take as the dry weight including the outboard.
