- Welcome to V.B.S. Episode 36 -- Virtual Boat Shopping for our dream Great Loop boat. Today we look at a 2015 Sea Ray 510 Fly Motor Yacht to see if we want to add it to our Yes! No! or Maybe? list of potential boats to purchase to do the Great American Loop.
We hope to set sail (or rather start our engines) on our Great Loop Adventure in spring 2022. But we still need to find a boat. YIKES!
For more real-time information on our boat shopping, follow us on Instagram @TheBoomershines. We will share more details of everything we are doing to prep for the Loop there.

You guys need to settle on one. Time is running out!
Settling in on one is the easy part! Getting that boat under contract and passing the survey is much harder but believe me we are trying our hardest!
20+ in person walkthroughs, 7 virtual walkthroughs, 5 offers, 1 failed survey...Oh boy are we trying!!! For the record... our goal is not to "settle". We try not to "settle" on anything. We prefer to THRIVE :) Just like you did not "settle" for paying for an electric bicycle and came up with that really cool motorized bicycle. Well done!!! We are getting close, don't worry! ⚓️Mark
Buy a 60 Princess
Those are a great option! We did a VBS on one that we LOVED!
If you have a lot of money buy a Fleming / Marlow 55 /. 58
We LOVE those two brands but are having a hard time finding one right now. We looked at the Fleming 55 that is currently available but it felt too tight for 5 people to live in for over a year. Bummer.
Great loop boat Saline
We also like the Selene -- beautiful boats but we can't find one with three staterooms under 60 feet. Bummer again!
Lake Lanier party boat
It would be great on Lake Lanier!
When are you guys actually going?
Getting closer every day! Hope to go this spring but these days we take it one day at a time because so much is out of our control.
@@TheBoomershines Are you any closer to figuring out which boat you want? I’m a big fan of the Aquila 44 with lower helm, but it seems pricing has gone up since I first started looking at them. You second choice is a Beneteau SW 44 or 41. Realistically I’m looking at purchasing my boat in two years or less. One last kiddo in High school.
Sorry, My second choice
@@Dan-yj4ul We have one under contract. Going to survey at the end of next week. We have gotten this far before only to be disappointed by what the survey found so our fingers and toes are crossed. The Aquilla and he Beneteau are both beautiful boats and would be wonderful to do the loop in.
@@TheBoomershines Awesome. Good Luck!! I’m patiently waiting but it’s hard! I’m ready to go NOW! Haha.
Buy a absolute 58
That is a dream boat for sure! But it has Pods and do not want those for the loop.
If I had the money, my loop boat would be an OKEAN 50 FLY :)
I've never seen that boat before and now I am obsessed! Love all the features! Thanks for the suggestion.
They are made in Brazil and for the price it has amazing features for 50 footer,
Love Mark's expression
me too 💕
Sea Ray is not a loop boat, it’s a lake boat! Look at a 64’ Hatteras MY. It’s reminiscent of the Meridian 58 but a whole lot sexier!
Sadly, we can't get insured for anything over 64' so that Hatteras is out. :(
@@TheBoomershines that’s understandable,
Plus 64’ is a lot of boat!
Y’all got such great energy. God bless your family and keep this awesome content coming!!! 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
Awww thank you!!!!!!!
Buy a Carver
Curious as to your reasons? What do you like about them? ⚓️Mark
Hatteras, has Stabilizer, new plotter ,dishwasher ,washer and dryer and screened enclosed aft deck
Thanks so much for the lead. We will check it out!
I liked your boat review, even though you knew it wasn’t the boat for you. It was like an episode of Point/Counterpoint! Throw in a few more of these, funny and informative. Thanks you guys.
Thank you so much for saying this! It’s fun to review a boat even when it isn’t the boat for us. Glad you enjoyed it too.
Sea Rays are not lake boats. Who's ever saying that doesn't know what they're talking about, or maybe they boat on a lake and never in the ocean? Sea Ray Yachts are classified as offshore cruisers. My Sea Ray has a yacht "B" classification, which means I can handle 13' seas and 40 MPH winds. I think a 2009 to 2012 Sea Ray Sedan Bridge 550 or 580 would suit your needs.
I don't know why people say that either -- especially since just about all the ones we looked at are located on the ocean.
Party boat!!!! How many times are you going to do the loop? One time or 20, get the boat that fits your needs - no compromise.
We agree!
nooooooo
LOL. You are right. It's not right for us for the loop.
Hatteras 1986 54ft $239,000 3 cabins, 3 heads, stabilized, newer boat, Plam Gardens Florida
Your Welcome, this boat meets all your needs and your Wife's needs too.
why no pods on the loop?
People do the loop with pods but Mark worries he will knock one off which would be very expensive to fix.
The leading edge of the running gear is the propeller. Very easy to catch on a crab pot. They also need servicing very often (about 5 times along the Loop) and you have to find specific yards that can do the work. ⚓️Mark
@@TheBoomershines thanks, good to know. good luck with your hunt. Cant wait til you start your adventure...
@@shawnrobinson882 Thanks for joining us on this adventure :)
Nah…😉
I agree LOL. Not right for us for the loop.
There’s a grand Alaskan for sale in Deltaville Virginia that’s being offered by Dozier yacht sales if you’re interested let me know i’m not a broker I have my boat in the marina..
We will go check it out. We are reviewing at 60 Grand Alaskan on Saturday's VBS. Those seem like great boats!
@@TheBoomershines they are … made like tanks ! The I know of is ready to go anywhere… if I hadn’t bought 2 years ago I’d be looking at !
@@br5498 Thats great to know! Another loop veteran said it was his first choice for his next boat.
Nope.
We agree. Its great but not for us for the Loop.
