Congratulations! New Lift, New Boat, new experiences just around the corner. The very Best to my most likable UA-camrs.
Thank you sir! We definitely appreciate your support and comments. New video posted this morning…
Wow, totally cool!
Total Game Changer!
Great news and video. I am a fisherman first, engineer 2nd. This hits all the right notes. Following you guys for years now and I love that you are getting the finer things in life. Hieko is going to move in with you guys!
Don’t give Heiko any ideas!!😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Sorry....but you know him, he's full of good ideas, bless him.
CONGRATS!
Thank you!
Congrats you guys! What a cool addition to the new boat.
This had made life MUCH easier!
Great video! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Stan!
Hey Dan, congratulations on the new boat! I’ve been watching you and Heiko now for a few weeks and love your content. Im currently a 1SG that’s is coming to the end of the trail and retiring in December after 21years so it’s great to see there is a life after the uniform comes off. I look forward to all the new content with the new boat.
Thanks Top! Appreciate your support and Your career service with the U.S. military (Army?) I can attest and assure you there is absolutely life “After Uncle Sam!” I look forward to corresponding together in the future.
Absolutely Beautiful Dan !
Thanks Craig!!
That is so cool, Dan. We really enjoyed how you posted your video of the complete job. I often wondered how those lifts were installed. We planned to get a 10k lb lift installed until we were told 17 k here in Michigan. Yikes. Glad you got one to protect that beautiful new boat. Thanks for sharing.
We had a real fun time making the video. It took awhile because there were so many “ moving parts” to get to completion but we finally got it done!
Congrats !!
Also, Thank You for your Service to our Country !!!
Thank you Mike! Really appreciate that comment and hope you had a great 4th of July!
Between you and your partner in life captain for the trip you guys do phenomenal work I admire you deeply
Cannot thank you enough for that heartfelt comment. You and our subscribers are why we continue to make videos. Thanks for helping us get to 20k!!
Congratulations🎊👏🏽
Thanks Roland!
Nice lift. Was nice to see how it gets installed. Thank you for taking us with you.
Do, we made this video because we really had no idea all it entailed. The permitting process was the worst part!
Congratulations Dan. Absolutely beautiful marvelous. I’m sure you’re proud.
The boat lift was the last piece of the puzzle. Now we can get some really great content. 😀
Dan that was cool how ita done. As far as you wantting ideas all i can say is what i enjoy the most is how you and your wife cut up and make each other laugh thats what i like. Great episode.
Thank my friend. We really appreciate the positive vibe!
Looks great so happy for you guys. You sure deserve it. Now we can get to fishing. Let's go !!!
Thanks Fred. New fishing content on the way soon!
Congrats on the new lift. Thanks again a for the pictures at the lazy lobster last month. It was crazy to see yall walking in.
Thanks Edward! Great meeting you also.
So Dan ... Are you going to remove the Davits at some point? BTW, I enjoy your Florida Fishing Couple videos. Your and Miss Elizabeth's personalities and senses of humor bless me. Please keep up the good work. 🙂 Ok now ... Take me fishing ... lol
Not sure about the davits at this point. I may want to pick up a small flats boat at some point and hang it on one of them.
WHOLEY MAKERAL! THAT'S ALOT OF WORK, PHEW...
More than we thought before we began the new adventures.
Very nice lift. I’m happy for you guys. Ready for some more great fishing videos!
Should have a fishing video out soon!! Stay tuned.
Congratulations on the new lift. That thing is going to make your life a lot easier.
It already has! We love it!
Great job Dan , editing,sound, subject Perfection !
Actually owe all of that to Elizabeth. She does all the editing. I just show up! Thanks for the great comment! 👍
So stoked for you guys!
Thank you my friend. 👍
Dan what a fantastic video thanks so much for sharing we love watching your videos in Australia 👍👍
Hey thanks mate! We really weren’t sure if anyone would be interested, but we never knew exactly how they were built so we thought we would show everyone how it was done. Thanks for subscribing and supporting the channel!
Congratulations mr Dan Dan You have a new lifting installation sir
We are loving the new lift John.
We had ours put on last year and its been an absolute game changer!
Man, what a difference it has made. Before we had the boat in the water all the time but this is so much better. Hope you guys are doing well.
Don’t have to worry about getting caught in storms anymore! That beautiful boat will keep you safe!
Well…I think we still have to worry about the bigger storms. Even the Titanic had to be wary of the weather and of course icebergs!
@@FloridaFishingCouple I just remember you getting caught in storms that the new boat will be safer in. I commented then that you needed a bigger boat. Keep living the dream. Also, if you start seeing icebergs I believe we will all be in trouble!
Looking forward to more fishing videos on your new boat. Really nice lift too.
Thanks! We have some new fishing content coming soon!
Congrats!! Really happy for you guys enjoy every second.. See you guys around in the area "Tight Lines".
Thanks Iran. Are you local?
@@FloridaFishingCouple I have a place in the area, which I visit on the weekends. Maybe one day we can fish together.
New boat -New lift-Fantastic!
Another day in paradise! And, it’s almost lobster season!
go ahead and live the dream......makes everything worth it.
Absolutely Bruce! The new boat and lift are awesome. We are back on the water again!
That’s awesome! I wanna be like you when I grow up! 😂
Hmmmm…If only I had a magic wand 🪄
@@FloridaFishingCouple 🤣 it would have to be a big ass wand to have that much magic! Besides, maybe it’s better for the universe if there’s only one like you sir. 😝
I can't believe I missed this episode. Boat lift looks great.
It is def a game changer!
Lift looks great! stay safe and keep fishing!! 👍👍👊👊
Hey, thanks!
@@FloridaFishingCouple 👍👍
Very very Cool you guys .... I hope you guys enjoy it .... I know I would ... NOW !!!! LEts see some Video's of Fishing ... Not spearing but Fishing ....
New content on the way next video promise!
Awesome 😎😎😎😎😎
Thanks Cesar. Hope you have good luck in Marathon this year. Let me know if you like the CMOR maps. We are going to do a video review using the maps shortly.
Congratulations guys!!! I would love to have my boat in my backyard on the water. Could you at some point show how well the transom mount transducer is working with the twins, what kind it is, at speed, etc. I have a thru hull and thinking about putting one on my 27 Gamefish for side scanning and shallow water definition. Thanks, can’t wait for more videos on the new toy.
So, the transducer is a Totalscan. Has 83/200 Echo and Downscan and Sidescan built in. Learning how to use them all and will do a video review of the CMOR mapping system as well soon. Stay tuned!
Pretty cool
Makes life a lot easier!
Congratulations to you both Sir. You’ve worked hard to get where you are so enjoy the rewards!
Micky C
Thanks Micky. Now we work for gas money!😂🤣😂
@@FloridaFishingCouple no doubt, we were just down in the keys for a week and while fuel is expensive in North Alabama , it’s even more expensive down there. It was beautiful and we had a great time.
Be safe and enjoy!
Micky C
Congrats!! Great video like always
Thanks Branly! Appreciate the comment.
Very awesome very awesome love you guys I will keep watching your videos long as you put them out very awesome
Thanks Salty! Love the comment and we have some great content coming soon!
Congratulations 🎉❤😊
Thanks Jorge!
That's so much better than leaving in the water. Like you said Davits are good for tiny boats only.
Yes, and the boat we had previously was always bottom painted so we never used the davits.
Enjoyed the install.
Thanks my friend!
Started in the motor pool! My SGM!
Spent my entire career in transportation.
Good lookin lift!
My first tour was spent in Germany as a wheel vehicle mechanic then Fort Hood Texas. Much simpler times…
@@FloridaFishingCouple True statement Sergeant Major.
Hey congrats here from Adam at Num Thai.
Hey Adam, thanks you so much. Hope to see you at Num Thai soon. Thanks for subscribing and commenting! 👍👍👍
@@FloridaFishingCouple my mom still there but I moved to Melbourne FL. Happy for you guys nonetheless!
So good to see this video. We ordered a 15k one from them too. Should be getting install mid Sept. Now I know what to expect. It appears the platform gets install to the I beams and not to the wall. Is that correct?
Yes, the platform is bolted to the beams with a bracket. It has been a real game changer for us. We can get out anytime with no effort. Congratulations on your purchase!
awesome work man!
Thanks Shane!
Epic man! I miss having a lift!
Dude, the lift is for real! First time ever and we are loving it.
X-O-LENT!! Looks awesome!! Now, get rid of those old davits. The bases would make great gun mounts… maybe, a 20mm and a 50 cal. 😂😂
Love the idea of two 50 cal mounts to protect the castle from invading 🏴☠️ pirates!!
I always assumed they had to bring in a barge with a crane and a pile driver to drive those supports in the canal bed. That was impressive.
So did we. It was a real eye opener to watch this team in action. New respect when I see boat lifts anywhere now.
Man! I really need 15K subscriber’s ! lol 😂 Looking good up in the Dan Man channel! Boat and lift looks great! 😎🤙🏼
Heading for 20k now! Looking for your support!!
It is expensive but it's worth it. The boat on the saltwater all the time destroys it just spray her down on your once in awhile but great job great addition.👍👍👍
Changes the game; and like you said it was rough on the previous boat keeping her in the water all the time.
@@FloridaFishingCouple enjoy life Capt Dan. It's too short. Nice job
Congratulation Great video
Thanks William -always appreciate your comments.
So those old crane looking like things is how you hoisted up your boat before off the water? And if so are you removing them or keeping them too
We will probably keep them for the time being in case we ever get a jet ski or small bay skiff.
Maybe I missed something Dan but I didn’t see any kind of a padded surface for the boat hull to rest on. Is it resting directly on the aluminum runners?
So the aluminum brackets the boat rests on are covered with a poly composite material much like decking to avoid scratching the hull. The material will last much longer than the normal carpeting which tends to tear and wear thin over time. These should never have to be replaced.
Capt Dan, we would love to hear some of your stories from your days in the military. I was wondering what HP is your electric motor for the lift and if you could give us a ballpark figure of the total cost of this beautiful operation?
So we opted for the high speed motors rather than the normal ones. Truth is we could have went with the regular motors. The lift just takes a little less time with the high speed ones. Total cost without the electric hookup ( we had to have a trench dug) was close to 25k with the platform.
Boat looks sick on the lift brother…
I know. Sometimes I just stare at her. 😂
Sorry ok I have a small concern so the corners of that platform they installed is infact out not then the poles that let you know your close enough so they will go into your boat if your not expremely careful when there’s some weird weather look into that brother maybe screw on some rubber bumpers on those corners
So, it’s kind of an optical illusion. Because the main beams are set on an angle the boat is never closer than 8” from the platform and it is virtually impossible for the boat to come in contact with the edges of the platform itself.
Nice job. Game changer. Would you mind providing a ballpark estimate of what it cost to install something like that? Not looking for your exact cost and know there are variables that can drive the cost up or down but is a job like yours 10k, 20k? I have no idea but some interest in getting one someday
Total was close to 25k but that was for an oversized lift for the 28 foot boat.
Thank you for sharing. It is an amazing lift.
Have you ever done a video of your community? I’ve stayed at key Largo Kampground a couple of times and your place reminded me of it
very interesting procedure, probably could do without the background music though. great lift and beautiful boat. good luck with them
Thanks. We never knew what it entailed.
Thanks for sharing. Now I know too! May I ask how much that cost? I want to guess 8500.00?? I will need one when we move down to the Keys in a few years!
He said 25 k pirate start saving
So, depending on the size and weight of your boat will determine the overall cost of your lift. Our lift is 15k pounds - however a smaller boat may only need a 10k lift. Of course there are additional options such as high speed motors, aluminum bunks, walkway, and other add-ones that will affect the final cost.
What are the cranes for next to the lift you had installed
They are davits designed to lift and hold smaller boats.
Y’all should come to the Abaco islands in the Bahamas ???
We would love to!
Good
Yeah to Abaco islands is nice you would enjoy them and your wife ?
Im in SWFL and actually am interested in installing a boat lift in my back yard canal and have no idea what the costs are. Can you tell us a range of price for a 10k pound lift like yours?
Do ours is a 15K lift: the boat is 28 feet. A 10k lift should run between 18-22k. Electric (210) and the permits are usually extra. Then their are options such as composite bunks, high speed motors, etc. that will cost you extra. You can your local installers and they will give you an estimate for free of course.
Interesting, but how did they get power there
Dug a trench from the pole at the street and ran 220 all the way to the wall and then to the lift. It was quite an unexpected expense as well as a lot of work to get it done.
😊👍👍
Yesssss!!
What;s wrong with the lift that's already in place?
So we really didn’t trust the davits in place and with a Bost this long they didn’t provide the support the boat needed. The lift is perfect!
Custom electric like the company that makes alternators
Yes, that sounds right.
Aside of my other questions I have this one, won’t the bare aluminum gonna damage underneath your boat?
There is pads the boat sits on so no damage JT
So there is a poly composite material attached to the aluminum beams to protect the hull.
Rodger that!
What are all those crane looking things for?
Those are davits to raise the boat. They were in place before the boat lift was put in and we haven’t removed them yet.
Was this custom to fit the width of your boat? Or is it universal?
So the lift is a 15k lift and the bunks are adjustable to whatever the width or the beam of the boat.
Very good Dam , something that you will enjoy, mostly your boat will be safe in storms,, gongradulation,,
Thanks Ray. Appreciate the comment. 👍
Dan, being the pessimist that I am, are you sure that your permits didn't go thru so quickly because of your YT channel and following? Yeah, I'm a half empty kinda guy.
I totally agree with you. Either a sympathetic subscriber helped out or it was divine intervention. No one in the area believed how quick we were approved.
@@FloridaFishingCouple well, congrats on the setup. So jealous. Coming down in October and would love for you show how to catch some mutton. We have a 28 ft. Cobia.
