    Smugglers looking absolutely tiptop, the wax polish makes a massive difference it looks immaculate. Kudos to the yard crew who are laser-focused on the task at hand.

    Nick, Please put a WARNING notice on the video! The shine on the hull was so bright I needed my sunglasses!! Seriously though, great to see someone take such care of their boats. You are an inspiration for all that has a more mature (Mind you I didn’t say older) boat that looks nearly brand new. I never tire of watching the launch of your boat and look forward to the upgrade video. The pump for the SUP is brilliant! Thanks as always for a great video and let’s get you to 500k!!

    Smugglers Blues 2 looks absolutely brilliant! That first day on the water after a few months of winter are the BEST! Not even a little (ok, a lot) of rain can stop the mariners from making some early season waves! Safe boating this season! Blessings... 👍👍

    Nothing says "I love boating" more than launching your boat in the rain on a day not meant for boating.

    It is incredibly refreshing and a pure joy to see someone wearing a life jacket in even the most mundane things like moving a boat around a marina from berth to berth.
    Wish more people did.
    Mine is like a second skin. Never on the water without it.

    Very nice indeed Nick, Smuggler's is looking very good for the coming season, well done to everyone involved.
    I myself have recently got a Garmin 95UHD plotter with sidescan sonar and a Standard Horizon VHF for my boat, Casper (The friendly Boat), fitting them is further down the line while we are renovating the lazarette and the cabin. Last week I cleaned and re-waterproofed the canopy and was thinking how nice the boat looked without the canopy up, so looking forward to finishing the work and better weather to get out and about.
