That is a super question! Before haveing a bridge boat, I thought I would want both lower and upper helm. Having had had a bridge boat for 3 years now I Ava exchanged my view to only wanting just the upper helm. Here's why. The visibility from the upper bridge is really quite good for all running angles including docking. We have full eisenglass enclosure that we can open or close with the weather. I doing think I would use the lower helm and it takes up necessary space that can be used for other accommodation. Lastly, with two helms, thats two sets of electronics to maintain and update doubling the cost.
We’re looking for a yacht used for under $100,000 live board with a sliding rear patio style window entrance. The more like a condo it is the better. Two bedroom two bathroom. Can you recommend some models in that price range?
Hey man, sorry doesn't have anything to do with this vid but watched a bunch of your other ones. Do you have any idea where the coolant drain points are on the 3126T?
New subscriber.... It would be cool to see something along these lines that is blue water capable. Something that you might make an Atlantic crossing given the ability to have enough fuel. With today's technology and the ability to repower with electric motors and solar/Gen sets recharging it isn't out of the realm of possibility to cross a large body of water. However some boats hulls aren't designed to take the abuse.
I'd love to see a series done on Older Trawlers as I'm planning on retiring full-time on one, in a couple of years.
Although you sound like Ben Stein when doing your over dubs, the comparisons were awesome!!
I'd like to know your (and others) thoughts on the value of the lower helm versus a fly bridge only helm.

It would be awesome if you included price of each boat

Hi, Thanks for watching! Are you trying to drain the entire block or the heat exchangers?
@@CruisingCalypso All the coolant. previous owner put in the green. Need to replace with ELC purple or red per caterpillar
