Your boat is amazing!! Plenty of room for yourself and friends. I wouldn't put it in storage....I would gather some friends and go down to the Bahamas/Caribbean for the winter. Explore the caves and cliffs you can dive from. So much to see and do. If you go to Florida take your boat. Lots of boat community's, people that live on their boats full time. Places that you can possibly rent a boat slip or area for the winter. So many options!!! So excited for you thou and excited to watch your new adventures! Living vicariously thru you 😁
Some tips *Keep checking your sea strainers especially if you run your ac constantly. *Don’t leave city water connected or turned on when you’re away or sleeping. A leak can sink the boat *Don’t leave water heater switch on if your water pump switch is turned off *keep extra fuel filter/water separators on board at all times. Marine fuel is very expensive because you’re paying for all the extra contaminants that need to be filtered out lol *I use braided plastic cord sleeves for my shore power cords. Constantly dragging them on and off the boat will mar the gel coat over time. *use IMAR Stratoglass cleaner and conditioner on your vinyl windows. Those windows are are super expensive and delicate. Also either keep them flat or roll them when stowing them. Never fold them. *I use 303 waterproofing spray on my canvas camper top and rub chap stick into my zippers. It could be pouring outside and it will stay dry inside *A thermacell is your best friend while hanging out in the cockpit at night. *** that aft cabin is often called “the champagne room” lmao Love the content. I don’t live full time on mine, but I’m no stranger to spending weeks at a time on my vessel. 33’ Chaparral. If you’re interested on selling your ice maker, let me know. Mine crapped out. If you decide to keep it, add a filtration system. The rest of the systems should be pretty straightforward for you, as these boats are basically just floating RV’s
@@BrandonGross if you ever decide you want to take a trip to the Hudson River and see NYC by boat, let me know. I know all the cool spots around here. There’s even a rope swing and a really popular “party cove”
Badass!!! Been to Pittsburgh tons of times!! Racing Bmx at Southpark! Went to last game at 3 Rivers and 1st game at Hines!! To see My RAAAAIDERS!! I also am an Actor and did a Superbowl ad with Roethlisberger and Hines Ward as a Referee for Bud light in Detroit!! Played a Detroit Cop for Eminem in music video/Michael Bay/ Spielberg in The Island movie as a LAPD Cop too!! Love the boat!! Stay Safe and God bless brother! Frank
It would be an amazing trip if you took the boat west on the Ohio river to where it merges w/ the Mississippi river and take it all the way down to New Orleans and into the Gulf Of Mexico 🛥
I've never gotten over you getting rid of the Ambo. I lived that thing. However, this boat is awesome. Can't wait for future adventures. Congrats! It's a beauty. Enjoy your channel.👍
Omgoodness Brandon you did an amazing job. You might want to keep the ice maker at least during the summer. You have your electric cooler if you need more room for food. ❤I’m so happy for you. I can’t wait for some fun videos. Hopefully longer videos 😂 please. ❤
@@BrandonGross This thoght me you dont necessary need a huge boat to fulfil your sea adventirious or a sail boat, cant wait to see where do you take her and how you utilize the boat for daily living
Ya bro that's awesome 😎. I'm 8 years RV life it's going to be my last season I've been looking at boats like this for years. What you are doing is exactly what I want to do. Congratulations that's awesome. I'm in Toronto Canada going to run lake Ontario really cool man. Congratulations
Wow it looks amazing Brandon!! I love it!! It’s definitely a lot more space than the van had! 😂 Especially your bed!! I’m glad it’s nice and big! Lookin forward to seeing your boat/house adventures!! Stay safe! Much love ❤️
Nice boat Justin. I had the same dream when I was in the Navy in San Diego. That was 40 years ago but I never pulled the triger on it. Guess I will ride along with you. If you need a place to base out of Florida. I'm in Central.
Love your boat(new house) just wondering I’ve been wanting to go do just what you are doing when I retire soon so question is how much has it cost you to get the boat and all upgrades done? So I have an idea what will cost me starting out or roughly how much it’ll cost me 😊 thanks
Very nice boat, i would love to see you do a long distance voyage in it or something like island hoping, definitely need to get a bigger fridge though that would drive me insane 😂
You got Montgomery locks and dam down river and Emsworth Locks and dam up river from you. I work at Emsworth as a lock operator. If you ever come through the lock while I’m on shift I’ll give you a shout out!
I follow a boater up here in Canada called Boogaboo on UA-cam, if you go back a week or so on his videos he shows a company that he gets custom sheets from, they send you a template and will produce custom sheets for boats like yours
You would go by boat to Florida and hang out there for the winter? Or any where else warm that you could bring your boat? Or is it only made for shorter trips?
Don't put the boat in storage, drive it to warmer weather, just like your van , , happy traveling
100% exactly how that size is supposed to be used!
Lots of money. Fuel on boats is no joke. Especially with two v8 gas burners on a long haul. Id imagine hes getting 2.5mpg holding 400 gall
Take it down the river to Miami, FL before winter, The Great Loop Adventure.
I really love how full of life u are Brandon. Your parents did a great job raising you.
Thank you so much! I appreciate you. My parents are the best!
Run your boat down here to South America, you know Georgia or Florida maybe even even Alabama. Don't put it away for the winter, have fun. 😊
I really want to but it gets 1mpg and would cost an insane amount of money to get it there
That’s great! Nothing better than chilling on the water and feeling free! ❤
Absolutely!!
I am so happy that you are happy. The boat looks amazing.
I’m happy for you, Brandon. You seem very excited about your beautiful new baby❤
You only really get restful restorative sleep when it's completely dark!!🥰❤️
Looks great Brandon. Enjoy the ride of life!

There are somethings in the background that MAY be happening... 🤔
That thing is super nice Brandon! Congratulations buddy.
Looks great! Congrats! Its always nice accomplishing goals and dreams. Makes life worth living ❤
There is nothing like spending the night on a boat, waking up having coffee and fixing breakfast, life is good !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That boat is siiick! If it gets cold, come down to Georgia or tennessee and let's hit some caves!!
Dude I would love to!

Awesome boat looks good! Can’t wait for the future video with it! Hope all goes great and you love the new living situation! God bless brother 👍🤘
Wow, that’s a beautiful rig. You got there. Excellent job.
That ver spacious for a small boat
It honestly just suits my purposes extremely well. It's more than I had with my bus, van and ambo so I'm living pretty comfy!
@@BrandonGross This thoght me you dont necessary need a huge boat to fulfil your sea adventirious or a sail boat, cant wait to see where do you take her and how you utilize the boat for daily living
Great setup, smart move getting the enclosure
Hi Brandon Cool boat , Nice to be able to scoot to wherever you like.

indeed bigger fridge or second fridge instead of icemaker and perfect home!
Your new boat is super cool! Where were you hiding Sarah though? lol
There's definitely a lot more space to live in, compared to the van... Great job on the sound system...!
Looks Amazing….🤩😍!
This boat is sick.
Awesome as ever dude
Wow it’s beautiful x
Looks amazing 👌👌💜🇿🇦
You to need to make it to Lake Champlain and do some cliff diving
I love your boat! It's a real gem
Thank you!
perfect boat
Scott at Connecten is great!
Nice boat Justin. I had the same dream when I was in the Navy in San Diego. That was 40 years ago but I never pulled the triger on it. Guess I will ride along with you. If you need a place to base out of Florida. I'm in Central.
I mean Brandon. Jeesh.
She's a peach Brandon! What sort of range can you get on those V8s?
time to que up the " A day in the life of living in my House boat full time" video 👍👍
It's coming VERY soon!
Outstanding
Beautiful boat
Love your boat(new house) just wondering I’ve been wanting to go do just what you are doing when I retire soon so question is how much has it cost you to get the boat and all upgrades done? So I have an idea what will cost me starting out or roughly how much it’ll cost me 😊 thanks
Just take the boat south on the river for winter.
Tonya looks like an excellent rig. Congrats looks like you’re doing it right for sure. Good video enjoyed the walk-through. I really like it.
Thank you!!
Really nice boat layout. Need to check it out.
GREAT LOOP
Absolutely beautiful boat, take that thing down to Florida somewhere dude.
Thank you ! I really want to take it down there, just gotta find the budget for that 😂
You need to add four more cans so they hear ya coming! 😂
Somehow Brandon, moving from road life to boat life has 'matured' your appearance - looking still youthful but wiser perhaps?😉
Storage?… NOOOOOOO!!!!!
Boat it to warmer weather and posting the travel. That would be EPIC CONTENT!.
Don’t get rid of the ice maker!
Awesome, such an inspiration.
Thank you!
If you get the chance to traverse the Erie Canal, it is such an amazing trip. Unlike any travel I have done. Take your time and go slow!
The way you said 5'10 is the same way i say 5'10 and i m actually 5'9 so i got ya 😂. I know the struggle! Great video, living the life
Nice boat!
I think I would make that den into my permanent bed and then look at opening up the main cabin and use the front bed space as a seating area.
dang i had a feeling this was a pittsbrugh river vibe. funny to hear you say where it is. maybe we'll see you in the downtown pool!
Love it!!!
Following with interest, I did this on a Bayliner 340 and it nearly bankrupted me 😂
Cool video, no B.S., just straight to the content, definitely subscribing.
By winter storage, you must mean you're going to tske her downstream to the Tom Bigby Waterway and anchor in Florida for the winter....
I would love to haha but $8,000 in fuel 😭😭
Imagine waking up and the boat is sinking, or you're under water already.
Do not worry, i have lived onboard for years ! Even now just woke up to a sunny morning here in South Sweden .
I literally have had numerous nightmares that it’s sinking 😂 I hate it
@@BrandonGross I cannot relate, as someone diagnosed with primary psychopathy I literally never experienced a nightmare before in my life.
Take the boat somewhere warm!!!
Dunno what to say👍go for it👏
That’s a cool boat 🛥️ bro nice 👍🏻
when it gets cold just sail that bad boy down to florida or something. that would be an epic video
Keep in mind you can’t have booze near the helm might want to keep the ice maker,
My grand father was coast guard!
Thats kinda what I was thinking lol
@@realzooflicks yeah the booze has to be as far from the helm as possible! Brandon better off making that a soda fridge and keep the ice maker!
@@TransamJc what about a microwave 🤣
Fridge is a must in that area considering the small one in the cabin
You can just get ice cube trays and he can make ice in the mini fridge and have space for drinks
Humble suggestion: don't put the boat in storage! Travel in it to warmer waters
Very nice boat, enjoy.
Thank you!
take it all the way down the Atlantic Coast like a wild man and Winter in the Caribbean
Would love to!!
Great content much love to ya brother from Maryland❤❤❤
Brother… do americas great loop the east coast road trip with that boat… take that thing to warmer waters for winter.
What boat is it? I like the lay out of it all
you may want a watermaker as long as you're going to have a generator etc.
Very nice boat, i would love to see you do a long distance voyage in it or something like island hoping, definitely need to get a bigger fridge though that would drive me insane 😂
Couldn't agree more! I'd love to take a long trip somewhere and I desperately need a bigger fridge!
You got Montgomery locks and dam down river and Emsworth Locks and dam up river from you. I work at Emsworth as a lock operator. If you ever come through the lock while I’m on shift I’ll give you a shout out!
I'll be coming through this friday!
@@BrandonGross I’ll be there.
Cool😎👍🏽

It’s possible but would cost tons of money
Beaver County local !nice !
Take boat to Mississippi river go down to brackish waters be warm
I lived aboard for 27 years. This thing burns about 15 gallons per hour lol.
Haha beaver county boating at its best🤣
Well, arent those quite ready to live on from the beginning?
