Great show! Love the show’s focus on the practical aspect of boat buying ❤
Thanks for the kind words, Burt! They mean a lot! Thanks for tuning in!
Fantastic roundup, thank you!
My top two picks would be the Pearson 34 and the Willard. The Vixen is a sexy boat, and thus locks in 3rd.
All solid choices!
That's the key. "Do right by the boat." Could be expensive, but worth it in safety and personal enjoyment.
Agreed! Thanks for watching!
Great info. Suggest you slow down, both picture transitions and especially speaking. Comes off like you got a flight to catch and trying to finish video first.
Hi Kevin - I will try! Trying to keep these to under 20 min so you all don't fall asleep from boredom...I could talk all day about these boats! Thanks for watching!
Very good thanks for the video
I appreciate the nice comments. Thank you and thanks for watching!
WOW ! Glad this showed up in my “you might like this” feed. Now if I only lived on the east coast of the US instead of landlocked Alberta, Canada. These vessels are the stuff dreams (mine) are made of. Oh, liked & subbed.
Thanks for watching, Doug! Keep dreaming and then make it a reality someday! We’ll keep giving you the fodder… Thanks for liking AND subscribing!
Yes William Crealock designed a number of Pacific Seacraft boats. There are also a number of Crealock boats such as the 31 and Pilot House 31.
Thanks Peter! I just looked these up - cool boats. Pretty. And, of course, I am a fan of the PS line of boats. Thanks for watching!
Great vid!
Thank you, sir! I appreciate the compliment!
Great... Thanks but you forgot British built sailboat such as the Camper & Nicholson 35 😀😀😀
They are awesome boats! I don’t believe any were for sale in the area when this video was made!
I am looking for a catamaran, I hope you have a show on them.
Can't beat a 30 ft Cape Dory for 20k! Some people want that for the Typhoon 😁Solid craftsmanship!!
Agreed! Nice boats!
I fell in love with the Endeavor 32 from 1979, too bad it doesn't appear in your ranking
Is there one for sale in NE? I don’t think I saw it!
I've seen the Willard 30 in person my family keeps our boat in the Hyannis yard and it's there now
How does she look in person? And thanks for watching!
@@boatfools definitely shows her age in places on the hull but nothing that's not easily fixed and that brand is known for building heavy quality boats
@@samuelthomas9758 excellent intel. Thank you for sharing! She definitely appears solid.
Dear Sir!
If possible, please make a list of the Top 10 value for money sailboats from 43 to 47 feet.
I definitely share this video....
Thank you and thank you for watching!
What is the best place to get good deals? East coast? Florida? West coat, Great lakes? I have seen some really nice boats in Chicago under 20k
Depends where you live. East Coast is generally more expensive IMO. Great Lakes region seems to be lower. But if you're not from those areas, transport would be expensive unless you plan on sailing it home - wherever that may be. Florida and California have the most inventory, which makes sense based on population. What are you looking for?
You should call this the Bargain Boat Show.
If you could do headroom it would be worth your time ... I want to be able to stand up
I will see what I can do going forward. I’m 6’1” so I agree with wanting to stand up! Thanks for tuning in and watching!
As the owner of a boat with a 4.5 foot cabin, I agree with you!
@@bravofighter that's not a lot of headroom!
hidden gems
Exactly right! With a lot of life left to give!
Love the video. So for some of us who are new to boat buying, when you say "aim low" on the price, is there a rule of thumb for this? I mean like 5% - 10% range off the ask price.
Hi Andrian! Great question. Obviously you don’t want to be offensive, and it it’s a for sale by owner, you have greater flexibility because there is no broker involved. But, generally speaking, your instincts are correct. 10% would be the top end, in my opinion, for a broker represented boat, but I’d try for more on a for sale by owner, maybe even 20%. You just never know. And always preface with a kind comment, or “Would you ever entertain an offer of xxx?”, or something like that. Kindness always helps! Hope this helps!
Also, keep in mind that if you’re going to get a survey, which I recommend, you hold a portion of your offer/payment in reserve until the results of the survey and sea trial have come back. These can be great negotiating tools!
@@boatfools Excellent tips, thank you so much!
I meant to add that you should hold about 10% of purchase price in reserve until results of survey come back. Good luck! And keep us posted!
I like that ❤
28' not 38'.
Greetings from Tucson, Arizona
Just found you and subscribed.
I'm looking for a 43'-44' Nauticat
and I don't care WHERE It is,
New England, Pacific NW, Florida...
My In-laws live in Tucson! We go every February. Love it. I will keep an eye out for a Nauticat. Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Cool. I'm SW Irvington top of Robles Pass..If I'm still here in February stop by for coffee and a chat.@@boatfools
Rawson 30?
Bring back Scott zolack!
Ha! Not sure he’d help the cause. It’s going to be a long season…. The Smile: it all depends. What’s the year of the boat? Have the keel bolts been replaced? Have you had a survey? Does she leak? There’s a tremendous amount of info in some cruiser forums, if you haven’t found these already. All sorts of recommendations, fixes, etc. Definitely worth checking out. Good luck and thanks for watching!
Chk all balsa and plywood cored decks ....very expensive to fix .Also chk bottom for osmosis ; again very expensive...deal breakers.
Agreed. In future episodes, I note what the deck coring is on the selected boats. Naturally, about 99% are balsa cored. Thanks for watching!

How about the name "Around the Mass't"?
Great idea - if we were just covering Mass! Any other ideas?
I don't know if you found a name yet, but how about "Kickin' it at the binnacle"?
