Ruslan: Thank you! We started including the layout on our listing videos a couple of months ago and people do seem to like it. It's easy to get lost on a boat if you look away and this helps you keep track. Thanks for your nice note.
I am more of a Nordhaven fan,however this is a nice vessel.I really enjoyed your notes that you edited on to the screen as you were going through each section of the boat. Excellent job on the video.
Stephen: Thank you very much. I know Nordhavns very well having worked with PAE for fourteen years. Selene has done a very good job of building an excellent trawler challenger. There are a lot of great boats to choose from and a serious buyer is advised to check out as many as they can before making a final decision.
I've yet to see a Selene that I didn't love. There's many great boat builders, but Selene can hang with any of them, and, in my opinion, is better than many (most?). I'll be buying a boat, hopefully within the next year, and I'll be looking for a Selene!
This is a very pretty boat that no doubt would be comfortable on board for many weeks at a time. Love the easy to get around side decks and multiple boarding options. I took a peek at your website and (1) I always thought that you were west coast focused - I was wrong and (2) you list some very fine boats in all price ranges. Hopefully things settle down in the next few months so we can all get back to cruising and seriously considering moving up a couple feet in length and beam.
Bob P: Thank you for taking the time to comment. This model Selene is really an ideal size for so many reasons. I do live in CA and JMYS was started out west, but the trawler market is all over, I fly all over the US and internationally (it was a lot easier to do that pre-Covid). I'm sure things will get better, nobody knows when. You are welcome to call or email me directly I publish my email and phone number to make it easy to connect.
I really like this.. well done..best of all is the layout in the right hand corner with the red dot representing the person displaying.. hopefully you had a merry Xmas.. can't wait to visit south Carolina..
Phillip: Thank you for your nice note. The layout does help you keep track of where we are in the boat. Had a very Merry Christmas, thank you and trust you did as well. South Carolina is a wonderful place. Happy New Year!
wow what a beauty. You suppose its manageable by a cruising couple? BTW, Love the boat map in the upper right corner. So often in these vids you have no idea where you are at.
MrChairman: She is spectacular and has a lot of great features. I have been told that the elusive "perfect boat" is the next one...which makes sense, that way you always have something to look forward to! But, for the right person, High Spirit is THAT PERFECT boat right now!
Julian: Thank you very much for your comment. As you get larger (the Selene 57 is not a small boat) you have more room to play with and the High Spirit pilothouse is ideal. Great helm seat, room for others to be in the room, the access to the cabins or up to the flybridge and the watch berth - a lot of space and yes, comparable to a Nordhavn.
AT - we don't publish the price in the video in case it changes, but in the description we offer how to get to our website, www.JMYS.com she is under contract now, original asking price was $859,000. There will always be another one! Thanks for your nice note.
Hey Jeff… great videos. I’m learning a lot for you and your channel. I realize this one is sold, but what was it originally listed for? Trying to get an idea of where my budget needs to be. Thank you!
Rusty: We have the original write up on our listings sold section - it sold for close to the asking price. Over the last two years trawlers have appreciated in value. To buy this boat today, depending on location, equipment, condition, etc. between $800,000 - $1,000,000 for a ball park. Thank you for your nice note. Feel free to get in touch directly for more information. Jeff@JMYS.com
Your presentation is very good. It it is like you are selling a model home and not a boat For those of us interested in purchase we need to know the hours on both engines and generator and also how the boat has been maintained. Also given this 15 year old boat what improvement to or updates are recommended for electronics and other elements.
Allen: Thank you very much. There is only so much time in a video and our preference is to talk through to let people better understand. We have photos, a 360 tour and detailed specifications with brands, models, hours, etc. in two places. On our home site, www.JMYS.com and on a dedicated site, www.Selene57ForSale.com you should be able to find everything you are looking for there (including improvements).
I like Selenes, just wish there were 2 changes to the default setup. 1) a second gate to the fore deck so you have one port and starboard. 2) the grill was placed behind the arch rather than in front. The placement just screams smoke in your face when you use it and if you live in an area where FB enclosures are the norm, trapped smoke from the enclosure. It just seems to be a poor choice to locate the grill there when you look at the smoke issue, convenient for use being right at the top of the access and beside the seating.
Jacqui: Good points. I think they only have one access to the foredeck (most boats in this size only have one) due to the reasonable beam and it bolsters the Portuguese bridge and in big seas is one less potential opening for water to crash in to. The grill is convenient from a -hey-this-is-a-cool-place-to-install-one, but any fixed grill is subject to the wind coming from another direction. I guess a fan could help blow out the smoke, but your point is well made. I think a portable grill a few feet further aft (with an adjustable wind block) would be more practical. Thanks for your comments, what type of boat do you have?
@@JeffMerrillYachts I'm currently looking, trying to decide between a 1983 Defever 68 and a 1979 Hatteras LRC ( 58 loa ) Other than the length, there isn't a lot to differentiate these 2 as far as facilities, fuel, range etc go. I'm leaning more toward the Hatteras though, she has stabilisers while the DeFever doesn't and the Hatteras also has 2 stroke detroits 71 series which I'm kind of partial to.
Beautiful boat, but once you start talking about brokers teamed up with a co-broker I'm fairly sure I can't afford this boat. What would you give me for a Crownline 250cr for trade?
Derek: As the broker of record I'm spending a lot of my time running JMYS and can't be the active listing broker for all of the boats we are marketing. Rob is great, as a Selene 55 owner he understands what is involved and is a natural to be the lead on this boat. The seller would have to agree to the trade, brokers don't normally take them in. We live in the trawler world and, as such, if you had a trawler that we could market that might be more appealing, but it's best to sell your boat, have money to spend and then go shopping. Price is posted on JMYS.com.
Ben: It's a requirement for me, even as a back up you can't go wrong and if you have an electrical Etch-a-sketch, you will be happy you have been cross plotting on paper.
I am following your presentations of boats and see, that your is no data of consumption in various speeds. You forget it, or is sales technique?........😎
Christos: The details you are asking about - including price, draft, speed, etc. we normally publish on our website. The video tour is to show the layout and condition of the vessel.
Roger Harrison: Roger Wilco beat me to it, the full specifications are located on JMYS.com. I am relying on what I was told, not sure who did that measurement. Typically the arch will lower and the top point of the profile is the venturi windscreen on the flybridge, but I think this model is too tall for the Loop.
Thanks for the information. I was a little concerned about the draft also. It’s a little deeper than what was recommended to me. I think I’ll look at a Fleming 58 for my needs.
@@rogerharrison7609 The AGLCA has details on "ideal" draft (I recall it is about 5') and the air draft clearance (about 19') and I believe they also have a "Looper" list of brands and models that have completed the trip. You can not go wrong with a Fleming, provided it meets the dimensional requirements, they build a beautiful boat.
This is a very capable trawler, but I've never been asked what it would withstand in a storm. Difficult question to answer, with all of the weather forecasting these days it's much easier to avoid strong winds and large seas.
@@JeffMerrillYachts I’m a beginner in this) so I’m asking as much as I can) If the equipment allows you to avoid storms, that’s just ideal...Thanks!)))
Max: They certainly were popular through the 90's and a lot of boat cabinetry was built to accommodate them. They are ideal for boats as you well know. You can probably find an old tube style at an antique store or TV repair shop.
Any idea what the air draft is with the radar arch lowered as it looks hinged at the base. It states 21'6" with antennas down and if the arch does lower it would appear to gain you an extra 5 - 7 feet in clearance, a bit like an Ocean Alexander can. Thank you in advance.
Gopher: I don't know if they have ever lowered the arch on High Spirit, let me see if I can find out what that would reduce the "air draft" by, might take me a couple of days. Thanks for your question!
I have looked at enough of your videos Jeff to ask you How is your heath (you don't look like your getting around as well as you where in your last video) please take care
John: Thank you for caring and commenting about this. I've actually never felt better, I've lost weight (lack of travel with no exercise and bad eating habits). I'm 62, so think before I step, so I'm not as fluid, but all is well and I appreciate your note!
TPS - a very capable person could single hand her for short runs, the current captain does it all the time. For a long trip I prefer a minimum of 3. The operations are straight forward the care and maintenance is what takes the most time. No, you don't need a professional crew, a well trained owner operator couple can do this relatively easily. Thanks for your note.
I've read reviews that Selenes are junk. I'd like to know more because we are interested in a 38. But after reading bad reviews on quality we are not looking at a Helmsmen.
