I think it’s important to note for anyone thinking of living on a boat like this. ITS NOT CHEAP AT ALL !! A boat like this in this condition is going to break likely monthly and the repair cost will break you unless you know how to fix everything yourself. The longer it sits at the dock the more often it’ll break. Parts alone is enough to break you. Secondly where are you going to keep it that doesn’t cost $1500/mo? You could find a mooring field for a few hundred per month but now you’re unplugged from shore power and septic. Not fun. Hauling this boat out for bottom work or any work will cost $1-2000 just for a haul and block plus a daily marina rate of $60-150/day. And then what’s your plan when a hurricane is coming ?? You can’t move the boat fast enough to dodge a big storm and hauling out everytime a storm is coming is $$$. Nothing about this is cheap.
You guys have perfect persona to be yacht tour guide. Very professional and knowledgeable about the boat. As for negative comment about wearing shoes, I make sure everybody who enters my boat wears shoes. You can always vacuum the dirt off the carpet but you can never get the oil off coming from your feet. I learned this from professional carpet cleaner who owns a home with white carpet.
Great boat. Looks priced to sell. I had a friend who had one of these, but had the gasoline engines, and he had a hard time selling it because of that, and he wished it had the diesels. I had another friend that had a 34'. She was a ful time liveaboard i her late 50s and she had the engines removed, put an outboard, and used the engine room as a "basement" for storage, and that really opened up that boat. I'm a sailboater, so I hope to see its video. Your sister does look like she can communicate in boat jargon, so she can sell boats too. Though most people would think a woman that young and pretty wouldn't know anything, I think she can do it.
Reminds me of a 40-year-old Winnebago I saw years ago. Probably will want/need to put a few tens of thousands in upgrades. OMG those couches!!! For a dock queen, she’d do. I wouldn’t take her out very far, very deep. Even your partner looks very skeptical. She knows this is a crack house on a hull.
No way ! Can you imagine , trying to run this in a rain storm ! Any Rain ! No windshield ,no wipers , everything coming at you ! Can't see ,soaking wet ! BUMMER !
Great review! Finally a channel with more live onboard with reasonable prices. Yes, Sandy should be a part of the review. She can give us a different perspective.
Wow this is my favorite boat you've featured. Really nice condition, stylish and the price seems in the right neighborhood. Sandy is the highlight of this video. She is so smart and observant and thinks of important things that I would not have. Having the two of you on any boat shows us clearly how roomy that boat is for two adults walking around. That is a huge plus. Many other boat tour channels forget to do that. She adds A LOT. I really love this boat. For its size and price range it's remarkable. It will sell fast I'm sure. Thanks for another great video Bryan & Sandy!
Great walk through on the Carver and it looks like it's in great condition. Lots of room even in the staterooms and heads. You both did a great job in explaining the details, I hope you do work as a team on these videos as this is my first time viewing. I like your style and have subscribed, Thanks again from Tampa
As a few others have said, there is nothing “cheap” about any boat. Yes, seems like e great deal for the money, but at a minimum, estimate annually 8k for dock fees, 8k for insurance, 10k depreciation, 5k for general maintenance, 5k for miscellaneous expenses, 2k for electricity so approx 38k before she ever leaves the dock. And btw, these boats are known as marina rv’s, not very seaworthy with their spoonbill bows to create all that interior space. Think twice before you consider this a “cheap” option.
The difference in width between a double bed and a queen-sized bed is 16 inches (40.6 cm). A standard double bed, also known as a full-sized bed, is 54 inches wide (137 cm). A queen-sized bed, on the other hand, is 60 inches wide (152 cm).
If you buy your boat by the couch-foot, this is your vessel!!!! Seriously amazed at how much room there is in a 41' boat, but the kitchen would be a deal breaker for me. I love to cook and would want something a bit bigger with an oven.
Very pretty.. Lots of space for the size but the thing about aft cabins... I always joke about aft cabin owners are the people who like boats but don't like the water, or the sun. :) Very nice though.
Nice job you two! For future reference shouldn’t you run the blowers before starting any engine below decks. And maybe you did but I missed it. Again, great job.
i think the older yachts look nicer, the layouts seem to be much better in the older styles, also the price tag is high for what the boat has to offer. long couches make for just an alley.
Nice boat. Were there clear pull downs for the helm area? (I hate the fact they don't upgrade the electronics) What are some of the running specs: tank size, hp, top knots, fuel consumption, .. .
The mechanics could use more coverage and more exploration over storage. The Cummins engines are a huge upgrade. I missed any mention of bow and stern thrusters. Does it have these? How tall are you? Ceiling height looks low for an average Texan where we are over 6’2”. Big and tall folks may be cramped. Where is a person going to more it? What are those expenses? Probably less than a condo special assessment and monthly dues on FL condo. I hear new law are breaking fixed income owners.
The upholstery on the bridge should be in good condition as it probably has to be replaced every 5-10 years given the lack of enclosed space from the elements. I wonder how much it would cost to reframe the opening to allow for windscreen/window?
Hudson. Going to wait on buying. Having spine surgery next month. If still available after that,maybe. However,I think she will sell quickly. Best of luck to all you guys
@@HarborYachtTours no not really. It will be a distraction. Light colors are best. Whites, maybe alongside nautical colors Ike navy blue, aqua, turquoise, or even light yellow or light oranges, even red in small doses. Black and dark colors will make you look big/huge walking around a small, tight space. Beige or light colors like white will make you look appropriate for the space. Also pull your hair together (out of the way) like a ponytail because that too will make the space seem larger and you less overpowering in the space.
Whats the point in dropping the kitchen down? I know you did not design the boat. But just seems odd to me. You can take out the bottom drawer of the fridge and it will not cover the front window if the floor was up. Just seems odd to me. The Beam is 14Wide(beam) how long is the Salon? That looks like10-12FT?
Wld u guys be able to export to Singapore? I wish to be an sole agent but also to make things affordable for locals in Singapore. I wish to have one myself!
These days the cost of the boat is not an issue. Its the insurance, property taxes, and most of all, storage. If you don't own a house on water, slips have become prohibitively expensive.
The problem is, if you want to use this as your actual home, I cannot find a single marina in FL that will allow a liveaboard (meaning a permanent docking slot). So after your time runs out (they have a 30 day max), where do you go? How do you make it work as your home? Cant just float out at sea
You can’t make it work. Living on a boat in Florida almost requires you to move from transient to transient slip unless you can find one of the few marinas that allow full time live aboard. I don’t know of any south of Jupiter. There’s one in fort Pierce that’s the only one I can recall right now.
Not a fan of that carpet. I'd ditch that short sofa for a dining table with comfortable chairs, and I'd remove that sofa section closest to the galley for something more functional, maybe storage. I wish I had an assistant like Sandy.
@@margekallies9230 Ah. Well, I'd still want that space for dining, so out it goes. If I could afford any boat, I'm sure I could afford a couple grand for nice replacement furniture NOT out of the 70s. That long sofa would come out and a sofa half the size would go in to pair well with the replacement carpeting or other flooring. I'd put in a pantry close to the galley, I suppose. A guy who was handy with his hands could do well with this boat.
Quite a lot of boat for that price! Don't really like the exposed helm, but for that price I would live with it, would have to see about enclosing it more..Good owner/operator boat for those weekend getaways to the Bahamas!
I love this boat, it is exactly how we want to have place in FL. We love the Sarasota area, would love to have a better way to see and discuss in person.
I didn't think I would like this Carver but, I did. For it's size it offers a lot of accommodation. Keep Sandy she will give Victoria a run for her money with Nauti Styles boat tours on UA-cam.
For that space, a queen bed would be much larger at 80 x 60 vs double at 75 x 54. It should work fine if no one likes to move around too much. I prefer men to narrate over women because men know what other men are looking for, which is more descriptive information, no offense ladies.

I have owned a larger deisel Carver for three seasons. It is gutting my retirement. Having fun yet? Nah….
Wow thanks, man I appreciate you putting us up on the costs,
I just want one for a three hour tour... A three hour tour 🎶😎👍
Yachts are for rich people, yes.
Are you speaking from experience? If so, thanks for your honesty. It’s important these things aren’t glossed over.
Sandy is a star, she should be featured in every vlog.
That’s what I’m hoping for I can just hold the camera and let her do all the work. She keeps all the money anyway.

Great looking boat. Amazing canal. Beautiful assistant. Florida is treating you good. Loving the walkthroughs.
Home sweet home. Thanks a bunch
38 ft couch in a 41 ft boat! 😎👍🏼
That should have been the title lol

Damn that’s funny
one of the nicer Carvers I have seen with regard to the layout
Yes it felt very open and spacious.

Love that split head layout
That is the exact boat I’m looking for it just us up for sale a few years to early. Darn it
Hate when that happens
Don't worry you'll get better n cheaper boat by the time you're ready, prices will be going down for many many years
Sandy is a good foil to your "harbour yacht" style presentation. She rounds the rough corners on you presentation.
Thanks Michael I need all the help I can get.
Nice condo on the water. Good size. Sure, include Sandy in all your videos. The conversation is good. Thanks.
Thanks Mark
Great review, nice yacth and keep brining sandy on!
Will do thanks. Maybe we could do just one walking the plank video though.
The difference in width between a double bed and a queen-sized bed is 16 inches (40.6 cm).
A standard double bed, also known as a full-sized bed, is 54 inches wide (137 cm). A queen-sized bed, on the other hand, is 60 inches wide (152 cm).

You mean 6" right?!?
how big is king?
This is the perfect Great Loop boat, nice presentation
Well done, YOU TWO, Denny from Minnesota
Thank you very much Denny.
This is a nice boat. Not to bad on the price. Sandy did awesome i think she would do great in all of your videos
Thanks Mike I hope to have her help in more videos going forward. Much better than me talking to myself.

this could be a beautiful boat needs about 100k spending on her on upgrades great review 🤑👍
Thanks! 👍
Sandys a keeper
That's a nice looking boat and the price is great too
That generator sounds like a big rig idling in front of my cheap ground floor parking-lot facing motel room.
If Sandy could be my captain, sold.
This is definitely alot nicer then me inflatable inner tube.
Very pretty.. Lots of space for the size but the thing about aft cabins... I always joke about aft cabin owners are the people who like boats but don't like the water, or the sun. :) Very nice though.
Hey great review and an awesome Carver..They make what looks like very nice boats,,Thanks...Oh and bring her along..no plank walk ok?? lol
Thanks i appreciate it but maybe we can do one plank walking for fun though.
Sandy really perked up the smile when she entered the bedroom. Don't know why.
Nice Carver!
Nice job you two! For future reference shouldn’t you run the blowers before starting any engine below decks. And maybe you did but I missed it. Again, great job.
Two cabin two heads nice set up .
Thanks Robert
What a beauty she is, everything you need.
i think the older yachts look nicer, the layouts seem to be much better in the older styles, also the price tag is high for what the boat has to offer. long couches make for just an alley.
Absolutely it’s just like cars are 2004 Explorer was built like a tank then we got one in 2013 and it was junk.
Thx for bringing some beauty in your video 😊
It was needed
Nice presentation.
Keep Sandi ! Thank you Great video
Thank you! Will do!
Thank you! Good job!!
Thank you too!
Nice boat.
Were there clear pull downs for the helm area?
(I hate the fact they don't upgrade the electronics)
What are some of the running specs: tank size, hp, top knots, fuel consumption, .. .
I didn’t see any so I’m not sure. I updated some specs in the description though.
It has radar and full enclosure for the helm.
The mechanics could use more coverage and more exploration over storage. The Cummins engines are a huge upgrade. I missed any mention of bow and stern thrusters. Does it have these?
How tall are you? Ceiling height looks low for an average Texan where we are over 6’2”. Big and tall folks may be cramped.
Where is a person going to more it? What are those expenses?
Probably less than a condo special assessment and monthly dues on FL condo. I hear new law are breaking fixed income owners.
This seems well priced and a comfortable live-aboard what do you think?
Outstanding. Your best boat yet!
What year is this Carver?
2001
Double size is another word for Full size. Queen size is 5 inches longer and 6” wider than a full size/double 😉
Thanks Rob
Looks like that couch has been well used on bucking rolling ocean swells. LOL.
The upholstery on the bridge should be in good condition as it probably has to be replaced every 5-10 years given the lack of enclosed space from the elements.
I wonder how much it would cost to reframe the opening to allow for windscreen/window?
Nice boat 👍🏻
Thanks 👍
Great boat tour, but please don't forget to take your shoes off before getting on the beds. 😮
Too late
Should’ve took their shoes off before going on board and shouldn’t be on the bed regardless.
@@digitalplowboy2823 truth.
Put some bright colors on assistants since colors on all the boats are bland.

These days the cost of the boat is not an issue. Its the insurance, property taxes, and most of all, storage. If you don't own a house on water, slips have become prohibitively expensive.
And hard to find
Then there are slip fees, Insurance, maintenance, gas....and the biggest expense? The alcohol bill. True story. Been there done that.
Nice to see if a real person can get in the shower

Will they deliver to California at that price,let me know fast
You really need to come check out my 50ft albin trawler
Is it still in the keys? I should do a keys trip and line up a few.
@@HarborYachtTours yes we are still here till December then heading over to the Bahamas for a few months
did it survive the hurricane?
How easy is it to finance with acceptable credit?

@@margekallies9230 We thought so but it wasn't thanks for help though and commenting we appreciate it.
Insurance and dock space cost will bring you to the same cost as a condo. And the condo wont depreciate. Boat taxes paid upfront with no deduction.
Pressure wash would make a big difference....
Pressure washing isn’t great for boats. It finds any little crack in the gel coat and opens the spot up.
The engine has been over painted. Lots of runs. I always worry what they are trying to cover up.
I understand but I’m more worried about an engine with exposed rust and no paint
What is the air draft on the boat? Can she do the loop? Ty.
I forgot what the max limit was on doing the loop. I updated some specs in the description but I don’t have the height.
Perfect loop boat 18 on specs but you can shave another 2 feet off if need be.
Is Memphis a reasonable distance?
Good question
@@HarborYachtTours also,do you think a washer dryer would fit in guest shower?
@@VickiFrederick-s8cMaybe if you had a combo but not sure.
Yes and I'm the owner
I wonder if it survived the hurricane....
Counters and such are Corian, not granite.
Thanks for the pointer.
Quite a lot of boat for that price! Don't really like the exposed helm, but for that price I would live with it, would have to see about enclosing it more..Good owner/operator boat for those weekend getaways to the Bahamas!
Insinglass isn’t a thing, it’s strata glass made by Hercules, 40 g won’t role up like that one. Granite, doubtful.
That’s funny I’ve been cleaning eisenglass for 20 years! I wish it didn’t exist.
I wish!!!
Are there alligators in that beautiful canal?
It’s Florida
Double (Full) Mattress 54" width 75 " length
Queen Mattress 60" width 80" length
Thanks for the tip
how big is king?
@@namvet1968 how about a California king
I love this boat, it is exactly how we want to have place in FL. We love the Sarasota area, would love to have a better way to see and discuss in person.
A place in Florida?. Good luck with that. Where exactly are you gonna get a liverboard Marina? Good luck with that.
What’s an average slip rental for a boat this size?
Florida has lots of canal front private jetties, negotiable with owners. Nothing like a marina with full facilities which charge by the foot.
I hope she gets half the commission on this one!
Queen bed is same width but 6 inches longer.
Thanks for the tip
Personally I had a difficult time concentrating on yacht :-)
Cheap condo? Except value is guaranteed to drop. (Yeah, some goofball will comment "some condos drop too".) Still, nice boat.
Of course it will drop that’s what all boats do. This ain’t real estate.
Shower and toilet MUST be together...for obvious reasons.
Queen bed is longer and wider than a double bed.
How much is the slip it’s in?
That’s a private dock
How would I get in contact with the owner I don't have a Facebook account and I never will.
His contact info is on the description
Dude let the lady speak what up with you dude 😎
What year??
This is a 2001
I didn't think I would like this Carver but, I did. For it's size it offers a lot of accommodation. Keep Sandy she will give Victoria a run for her money with Nauti Styles boat tours on UA-cam.
That the plan lol
Nice video but you should take your shoes if before you try the beds!
I only do that when I’m going to jump up and down on the bed.
Get more watchers if you let the girl do the tour and you film.
For that space, a queen bed would be much larger at 80 x 60 vs double at 75 x 54. It should work fine if no one likes to move around too much. I prefer men to narrate over women because men know what other men are looking for, which is more descriptive information, no offense ladies.
