- Опубліковано 16 бер 2019
- WOW?!? It's been 2 years since we bought our motor yacht for slowly cruising the Great Loop??!
In this video we share our upgrades & modifications to our Bayliner 4788. From power systems, solar, lithium batteries, marine electronics, kitchen, living areas, mattress, washer/dryer and fitness aboard.
We've loved living aboard our boat for the past two years and really making Y-Not OURS.

I recently purchased a 43' Hatteras Dbl Cabin and I am looking forward to the great loop. Since I live on the South Mississippi Coast I am in between the Mobile Bay and the Mississippi River. so I am thinking that I am going to head north up the Mobile bay area and meet up with the Mississippi River and head south. I think I will do this first before I take on the challenge of the great loop. I also have family members that live in Deltona, Fl and after watching your videos I see now that I could pull my boat almost to their doorsteps. I currently have my Hatteras on the hard getting a new bottom primed and painted and well, the entire boat is getting painted currently, I have replaced the carpets also. Oh, and I lived on the boat for 3 months right after I purchased it. I just wanted to say thank you for your UA-cam channel as it has been a tremendous help and inspiration. As I watch your videos I am constantly making a list of the upgrades that you have done. So Thanks and keep the videos coming.
Wow.... tackling the Mississippi first? That's some of the most challenging boating along the loop (and actually, that section - not technically part of the traditional route). Have a great adventure!
Love this tour! YNot's interior and exterior are soo inviting and attractive. She can take you to some really wonderful places and experiences that you really can't in an RV.....I have sure enjoyed discovering this with you. Thanks for taking us along.☺ Be safe, Be blessed 😉☺❤🇺🇸💙
This was a fantastic video. You guys are awesome and so informative. Thank you for sharing everything. We haven't bought our first Yacht yet but we are looking at a possibility of 44 to 50 foot and this is really helping us a lot. Keep them coming. Thank you so much. Safe travels.
I love your videos...very realistic and appeals to the average couple who love the water and want a option rather than a cabin or large trailer...you show that this life style can be had not just by the rich 1%ers..
You are living my manifestation. I've had many boats over the years, but now I'm looking at Bayliners thanks to you two.. :-)
J. Paul Jones did you get it
Bayliner’s are great!
Thanks for sharing. It's hard to believe it's been two years!
Glad to see you have really come to love your boat!
Thank you for the being the first boat tour ive seen that acknowledged that a lot people need work desks.
You have put a lot of yourselves into Y-NOT which makes it your own. It is great to have it be yours and not something that some factory cranked out. I was really glad for the way you made Zephyr work for your work environment as well as your living environment. It looks like you are doing the same thing with Y-NOT. You are more courageous than most and you get to enjoy the rewards as a result. As I say about my RV, I don't care about resale value. Somebody else can worry about that after I am gone. I want it to work for me in the interim. My wife has already passed away, which is a BIG reminder to enjoy what I want now because I am next! Hopefully, I have a few more miles and a few more years before my trip is over. Enjoy your trip, both of you!!
Wise wise words.. wishing you many many happy miles ahead!
You both are an inspiration, kudos on all your successes, thank you for sharing.
Thanks for the update. Keep on keeping on!
Thank you so much, how fast time goes and so much upgrades already done. Great job!
Time does go fast..
Love your videos! I was wow'd by where you installed the lithium batteries. Nice job there! Very nice. Keep them coming and enjoy life aboard as much as you can! All the best!
Fabulous, thanks for the tour. Safe travels.
Thanks for the update. I'm jealous of that computer work station with the big screen tv the most!
Great update guys! Appreciate all the details.
All your changes look great and the enclosed fly bridge was a super idea. Happy sailing.
Thanks so much! What a lovely boat!
You guys have done a lot-great mods!
What a perfect couple in a perfect boat..! I want to do exactly the same with my wife...when i'll stop working. Regards from Athens Greece!
Love the update. Look forward to your next one when all the solar is finished, maybe the lighting, etc.
We are so looking forward to getting the solar done.
Jeez I'm impressed with how clean your motor is. That's a really nice boat yall have.
Awesome!! We live on our boat in the summer. I love it. There’s always a project. Ha ha. Great that you have a work space.
Love the new canvas, too. Looks very nice!
I'm so jealous! But in a good way. I feel the fun and the dream with you. Thanks.
I see you guys are MTOA members! My wife and I were members when we had our boat (now we're RVing). They are a great group. We always wanted to do the Great Loop and I know you'll have a blast. Thanks for sharing the video of your Bayliner. Really nice boat and you guys have made it even better!
Great video, you make it look so easy, but I know it was lots of work. Thanks for sharing,!
livin the dream, good for you guys. There are certainly days I do envy you.
I have a lot of boating experience but guess what we are going RVing and I give a great big Thank YOU to you both!
There's something awesome about the simplicity of RVing. Cheers!
Super video, Chris and Cherie. I must say both of you look terrific. We are so fortunate to have you take the time to document and entertain us. Your channel is an excellent resource for land and water travelers. Happy waters.
Awww.. thank you Marilyn.
Wow!!! U 2 have been busy .... great job u 2.. look forward to seeing more 🤣🐻
Excellent update!
That was a very nice boat to start, the boat is now great. I really like the idea of storing the boat and going where it is warmer in the winter as you get north.
Thank you.. it's amazing to see the before/after.
Wow, great work ya'll.
Nice tour, thank you.
Loved the bus... love the boat... have fun !!!!
Most excellent! Thanks for sharing!
Well done update video. You both are naturals in front of the camera, yet never fail to provide a wealth of info, whether on land or sea.
Great job. Great tour. Thanks for sharing. Great idea on the solar. Your ideas are spectacular.
Great video! Thanks for sharing!
Enjoying your series. Very informative
Thank you! Great job. Lots of information. :)
Beautiful boat, God blessed you guys,, happy boating
What an awesome two years.
They've been eventful for sure.
Very well thought out setup.
Best wishes from the UK
👍Terrific improvements. 💝 Thanks for sharing. 🤗💞🤗
Great video - thanks for sharing
Great job Chris and Cherie, keep the videos coming, please.
Thanks!
Wow you're living my dream
Love your boat, looks beautiful.
Very nice upgrades!! Forward looking sonar is cool!!
Thanks for the videos, I am looking forward to the solar and battery video.
Wow, hard to believe it has been two years. Time flies when your having fun!
Or time flies when you're consumed with boat projects? :D
A really nice review, well done !!! Well written and well presented !!! You guys seemed very relaxed in your presentation.
Thanks... no writing however, all ad-hoc :D
Great video showing your boat
Awesome vessel and an awesome crew!
And awesome community of friends! ;)
Congrats!! You are living and loving it! it is not about how much $ spent
You two are an inspiration to everyone. Your enthusiasm and dedication to you audience is fantastic. Great video...many thanks...Dave
Awwww... blush. Thanks.
Yes great job. I think I may have come across your channel once before but this time you captured my imagination and I watched the entire thing! I have an 18ft party boat that has sat in storage for years I am ashamed to say and will be quite a project to bring back to life so it was fun to see folks actually doing things. Best of luck with your future upgrades boat looks great. I want to look back for videos of you guys actually under way to watch. Thanks Tod :)
Welcome back to the channel!
You guys are the best. It is so amazing what you guys do. You are so nice to share your life. Thank-you
Looks really awesome you two. I have something to share. About bed mattresses. I have a really bad back. Only one that worked for me an hotel had it. So I looked for years and tried many. My two boys have bad backs also. They needed new ones. I bought theirs first because I gave up on myself. As I was taking their out of the store a guy was really giving me a hard time because he thought in his little mind I was a fool. My boys feel in love with them. So I went and bought one for myself. Same. Works better then any one I have ever tried. Not hard but not soft and ferm. Perfect. To this day. Now where did I find it. Walmart. Out of a box. 2 twins and one full size. Dont let the box fool you. Once air is going into the bag, watch out. It will gain its size. Not bad price either. Keep up on that dream of a boat. Again, way so cool.
We're fairly new to RV'ing and found one of your older youtube shows. Happy to see so many videos that we can now binge on! On one of the boat videos (we own a boat, too) you showed a great flashlight but I don't remember which video. If you could let us know that would be great! Thanks for sharing so much!
Good job on the remodel. The solar is really neat. Keep up the great videos.
You guys have done great upgrades you will never be unhappy about increasing storage capacity on a boat And your. Dinghy solution is a great system often people try to reinvent the wheel. For stowing a dinghy and it becomes too hard to use one small note is that ive traveled thr the Bahamas on private vessels a few times in my life and sometimes crooks. Look at dinghy names docked at free or local dinghy docks to know what live aboard boats aren’t occupied At that time in order to rob the mother ship a easy sotion is to toss a crappy canvas cover or something similar to. Cover the name ive also used registration boards that cod be strategically placed with either Velcro or plastic clips or whatever i know yo guys are creative and handy btw 2 years on a boat is a really big accomplishment and a testament to your relationship Congratlations and Cheers to both of you My Mom has a cousin that he and his wife did the Loop on their Trawler. And they have always said if they cold survive that they can survive almost anything
Yeah... we've heard of that happening - and took it into consideration when deciding to put the boat's name on the dinghy. But we also considered the advantages too of preventing dinghy-theft (far more plausible for our intended travels in the states) by having it hard to obscure/hide.
Nomadic serendipity...I feel you, Sister.
Thank is a nice big boat ,Thanks !
Very nice!
I'm on a 38 foot aft cabin in Sanford and doing upgrades to the boat. We started off in a bit rougher condition but brought her from Deland to Sanford. This weekend, we are replacing and exhaust and I have often wondered if I should video the progress. Our plan is to do the loop in a few years on this boat as it will clear all of the lower bridges. Would love to benefit from your experience more and I enjoy the videos.
Looks great
Love your vids!
would love to see a hull rig tour, bilge pumps, sump pumps, pump outs, macerator, ac unit, engine room 😊
looks real nice
Very nice. I've lived in Florida all my life. I've had boats all my life. I really want to live on a boat....
Thanks for sharing your adventures, you two certainly know how to live. I can't have the boat right now ... but for the first time in 30 years I am growing a pony tail. When people ask me why I just say Y-not?
Woohooo... best reply ever :D
Beautiful job that's one of my favorite motor yachts I think it was engineered by Silverton? Not sure that it's been a strong hold in the Bayliner Community for many years chemed you guys are doing what I wish to do Someday I'm 57 on a Motorsports dealership in Enfield Connecticut and hopefully sooner than later I'm going to sell everything and live aboard as well best of luck to you guys it was a really wonderful video and I enjoy starting my morning watching this
Great electronics upgrades for safety. Good idea for the workshop. Ultra Anchor sounds like a great safety upgrade, too. 👍 Thanks for the mattress tip. I’m moving soon (hopefully into an RV), so I will be looking for one. 🤗 You’ve had a lot of updates over the last 2 years, but definitely worth it! Good luck with the solar installation.
whew.. yes.. lots of updates.
How nice to share this update segment with us. I... like many others, never realized how versatile, and multidimensional the 4788 really is with all it's levels and separate spaces. It must give the feeling of a much bigger boat. The only problem is, I'm willing to bet you have increased the cost of used ones now that you've been such a huge advertisement for them. Thanks again, and best wishes to both of you.
The 4788 is a fantastic layout.. we love it. Our broker let us know that 4788 sales have definitely increased since we shared about ours.
@@Technomadia Oh Gee couldn't you have waited till I got mine? Now I'm going to have to save more....LMAO. I know you have a big audience and you have done wonders with yours. My best to both of you...always enjoy your videos.
Great video with updates, love your cat!!!!! Like your solar approach. I am Dometic dealer like your feedback! Lots of great ideas. Also you should consider HYPER VENT in moisture control beneath your matteris to help in in moisture controll.
We have air ventilation under the mattress.. so far, it's been sufficient. No problems noted.
good upgrades !!! I follow you and liked this video. I like 4588 since I was a kid, but it feels old now, so 4788 or 490 is better suited. so long i have to go on with my 3288, which i love to upgrade! I document a lot I do, but not as good as you.
Looking good
Congrats guys on your 2 year Boataversary! Love all the upgrades! Glamtastic! Your videos are always so fun to watch, but very educational. I know I'm always going to learn something really fun and interesting. Such a unique story about your boats name. Love it! We're looking to eventually upgrade our grill, so thanks to you guys, we're going to look into the Magma grill. We love our 4K pop up TV. I know you guys are definitely loving that upgrade.
Yay, we get to see your chair again. Love how it matches your rug. The salon looks so warm and inviting. Love the kitchen too! Wonderful job guys. Gorgeous! Thanks for the lovely tour. Felt like I was there. Safe Travels.
Have a Glamperrific Day!
👍😀🌈🤪🌈😎🌈😍
So sorry it didn't work out to give you the in person tour (with drinks, of course ;). But glad you could join in vicariously. Much love to you both, and hope Tod's big premier this past weekend was a smashing success!!
BTW, the Magma grill is marketed specifically to the marine market - it may be both overkill in price/construction and limited in size/mounting options for RV use. For RV, we've been pretty happy with our O-Grill.
@@Technomadia Cool, thanks! We'll look into that grill. Tod's show did great! Love the boat tour. Beautiful!
Just found your channel on UA-cam, beautiful boat.
Great vid thanks for sharing...
Thanks for watching! They'd be less fun to make if no one enjoyed them :)
Thank you fun people! Thanks charley
Great video. Answered a lot of questions I had and gave me a starting point for my projects.
Interesting enjoy your effort
Thanks
Congrats on all the mods. Snaking cable: nightmare.
You should look into the new window tint, it will keep the pilothouse a lot cooler. you can even get it in clear not tinted. LLumar CTX is one company that makes it. I'm looking to put it on the sliding glass door on my boat to make it cooler.
Hey, I know that guy at 15:00!
Happy to help.
Thank you again so much Joe! It was so much fun to work on projects together, have quality time together.... and the solar is kicking butt! Miss you already!
Nice things you have done to the boat. Having 45 plus years on 5 different boats . Sail and power. i was a little worried for you to at first. 2 years latter. i am so happy for you guy. found the good lay line you have. like your v logs. thank you
Very nice. Looks really homey.
And feels homey too :)
Wow.....just the battleborn batteries are a major investment . That whole setup is crazy crazy expensive
I'm flying on-a jet boat. - All-Right. (Don't tell the FAA). Luv U guys.
Keep on trawling. I love trawling.
Wonderful insights on big boat ownership! At some point, it would be great to know the cost of each upgrade, as you mention in the video. That would really help separate the "gotta haves" from the "nice to haves" for those of us contemplating total ownership costs of going up in size. Thanks for sharing!
The blog post version attached to this video has some of the costs listed.
I like how you didn't spare any expense with the storm anchor. I know money is always an issue and there are places you can skimp on, but I'd have to make sure I have an anchor that is overkill for my boat. I just saw a video of someone with a sailboat who bought an anchor he could take apart for easy storage when not riding out a storm. The extra cost is way worth it when the worst happens and it's doing it's job. Of course, when mother nature has her period (no offence intended), then you just hope and pray...
That’s one lucky boat.
BEST
For a screen door in your salon, look at mesh and some good, strong magnets.
Some time I would love for you to discus how you learned to drive the yacht. I would love to purchase a 50 footer as my first boat. It would be most helpful to first timers like myself to understand what needs to e done to get a boat and learn to drive it. Many thanks, Stan.
