Ahoy, Mateys! If you like this boat tour, I've got a lot more. Here's a whole playlist to enjoy! ua-cam.com/play/PLLkTJbQ6z3-La0YYMyTZRtfUJQ33UnwTQ.html
A big thank you to Mark and Vanessa for their kind hospitality and sharing a tour of this stunning boat with us. The interior is so much bigger than it appears and the elegant simplicity of the layout exceeds many newer boats this class. Just an incredible boat and wonderful owners, who would be a joy to get to know in person. Thanks CC for making this possible, great channel !
Cool boat, nice couple. The mid-late 60's were certainly the glory years for Chris Craft. The steel/aluminum Roamers, the fiberglass Commanders, the mahogany Constellations, the marine plywood Cavaliers, and the mahogany lapstrake Sea Skiffs all being built at the same time by one company.
For anyone that has owned a old Chris Craft and worked on them can appreciate the level of craftsmanship the old timers put out and this one they have is a gem.
I'll be damned...it is a small world afterall. I've been aboard this beautiful Chris Craft and have had the pleasure of showing her to several people in my Yacht Brokering years on the Chesapeake before these fine folks made the purchase. Her name is the same, and what a legacy she has. She's the only Roamer you'll ever see with that custom swim platform which, as Mark stated, also serves as a full beam trimtab. So nice to see she's been in good hands all this time. May the tides be with you, Captain Mark!
It’s a GREAT boat. I personally like the retro designed boats better than the modern ones that seem to be so full of manmade materials. The layout and spaciousness is excellent. Boat ownership is a lot of work, myself almost 59 years old and I find that I must push myself to do the necessary maintenance when I used to look forward to accomplishing those tasks. It could be that this wonderful couple is simply moving on to the next chapters of their life. 7 years, they’ve definitely lived it!
Your boat was made the year before I started working at Roamer , I worked at Roamer from 1970 till they closed it and went to work at Chris Craft just down the road a bit. My best friends dad was in charge of the joiner dept. and his crew built the inside of your boat. I worked at putting the insides of those boats together, from the 19 footers to the biggest yacht they made to date at that time, it was a 72 ft. speed boat with state rooms. That yacht was lighter than the 41 ft. glass boat they made, everything in it was made lighter, honeycomb bulk heads cabinets you name it, it was 1.5 million at that time. I wonder if it's still afloat. Glad to see some memories, enjoy.
I love this one. This boat is my style, its a beautiful luxury apartment. And simple. Love it. Wow the space on this is awesome. Not going to lie. Out of all my boat videos over last year. This is my favorite. I'm no millionaire and this just seems perfect.
Awesome video! This is not just the typical description of everything on the boat. This instead talks about lifestyle, and how those features integrate with a great life on the water. This is about real people who live the dream, not someone who has purchased a boat and one day plans to live the dream.
Roamers are my favorite of all time. I owned a ‘62 and miss it sooo much. Continuous flow of people on the weekends coming down the dock to check it out. Kids came and boat parties had to stop.
Thank you Cullen great video,& thanks to the home/boat owners,very well decorated,very elegant. I'm soon to be uhuhwell,to the age I'd give anything to be the next proud owner.I'm partial to TN and clean water,but I definitely am a CC man.Thanks Again to the Owner's & Cullen
I grew up boating with my Parents from 9 years old into my early 20’s. Loved it. Would consider living on a boat, however my wife can get motion sickness sometimes. However I would love it!
Beautiful Boat! I didn't even know Chris Craft even built aluminum Cabin Cruisers! Wood & Fiberglass Yes! Aluminum? No! As one old captain once asked me if I knew what BOAT stood for? I said no! He told me "Bust Out Another Thousand" I own two small boats Bay & a Bass Boat! And the captain was correct about boats!
This is a great vessel and a dynamic couple that live aboard and share the labor of love that comes with living life nautical style. This was a treat to see. Thanks for sharing!! BP
Love the Roamers. My Grandad had a Constellation. Detroit diesels are sweeeet. You could conceivably Loop her or take her to Europe and go up the Rhine then down the Danube.
A couple with the right plan. They've got that old CC looking good. I sure like those 92s also.good power for that hull. She will obviously get up and run if needed.
Is what an absolute great video and that is the perfect liverboard boat they were overbuilt ultra high quality and frankly a timeless boat it will outlive all of us especially in aluminum. The biggest thing is you have to keep them maintained or they will get ahead of you very quickly. Great video great boat owners are they buying another boat or going for the land?
@CullenCraft soooooo glad to see more vids from you!! My wife & I live right down in St. Augustine & we're in the process of buying a 53' Hatteras. We'd really love to chat sometime!!
I've been looking for either a Roamer or Commander, going on 5yrs now. I'd settle for a one of the larger 47' Commander's, but would do whatever I could to grab myself a 60' Roamer! Told myself, as soon as I find the right, that's it, I'm loosing my land legs & I'd be gone! Super jealous of your friends on their Roamer! Tell them I make a great Gillian ya know!! LOL
What I experienced on our twin engine was to run only one engine at a time. You can keep your speed decent and save tons of fuel. Run one engine for an hour or two, then switch to the other.
@@CullenCraft Let me give you a sensory. I have a two wheeled horse drawn cart. I have 2 horses. I hook one horse up to my cart and we go around a track at 20 miles per hour. Then I hook up another horse to my cart, they both run at 20 miles per hour. Just because I added another hose, doesn't mean I can go twice as fast. I go the same speed, buit now I am feeding two horses to go the same speed. It;s the same with a boat. But now, I have the same cart by the same horse, but I am going up a hill at 5 degrees, I have top feed them more grain to keep up the same speed. It is the same with any energy driven vehicle.
Love the vlog. I had an Aluminum Roamer 28 Comet a few years ago. It was a1962 with twin GM 327's repowered at some point. I live around from you on Trout River. I remember getting gas at your marina, by the way, some of the worst currents on the ST Johns River save Mayport. Don't feel bad about docking issues. Those currents have gotten the best of them including me.
Very nice. I’ve been a live a board for 21 years. Mines a 44’ Searay. Originally only planned to stay 6 mounts but love it. I do cruise regularly and going strong.
my fam had a 1969 45 Connie at that time and it was a lot of fun. Slept great up in that front v berth. The restaurant at the Marina was called "Pompanos".
Very Beautiful Boat , thankyou for the tour etc i’ve seen this very Vessel onYacht Trader in the last few years i beleive she was on the Chesapeake Bay at that time and sometime close to 2020ish in the past I’ve owned a Connie and i just keep a eye on the Markets and Specifically Chris Craft i did live in Maryland for 35 years and 25 of kept a Boat on the Chesapeake South Of Annapolis’s i like the ide of the Steel or Aluminum Hulls of the Roamers with the traditional Lines and Interiors the Good Greif is beautifull

Is there any chance this boat is still up for sale?...
One of the better presentations of a boat because you actually see the people occupying the space. Beautiful boat.
Indeed!!!!

Chris Crafts for their size had great layouts.
Absolutely gorgeous boat! Really nice hearing the people who are living the life describing it. Nice presentation.
Thank you!

What a couple of legends Vanessa and Mark are.
They have made such a gorgeous home.
I love this boat, it is brilliant. The size just right.
They have that boat decked out, and two V92 Detroit Diesel those engines will run forever with proper maintenance.
Beautiful boat, total respect. That will still be a nice boat in 30 years.
That ship has one of the best names I have seen in a while.
For anyone that has owned a old Chris Craft and worked on them can appreciate the level of craftsmanship the old timers put out and this one they have is a gem.
I'm 54 and that Motor Yacht is in better shape than Me!
Thank you that was a very good job!
I grew up on a 50 foot Chris Craft Constellation, 1951. I love Chris Craft.
What a great looking vessel! You guys have done an exceptional job maintaining and making her a comfortable home!
I'll be damned...it is a small world afterall.

What a beautiful boat, thanks for letting us aboard.
My kind of people......Love how they did the salon up...just beautiful.
Those Chris-Crafts have the most beautiful lines of any boat. So classic.
I am relaxed after having heard this couple speak! Seem like nice people!
What a lovely couple.
Wow ..that boat is beautiful and so are the people!
Your boat was made the year before I started working at Roamer , I worked at Roamer from 1970 till they closed it and went to work at Chris Craft just down the road a bit. My best friends dad was in charge of the joiner dept.

I've never heard of that boat, and I know a little bit about Chris Craft. Did it have a name?
Has the classic Chris Craft controls...gears on the outside, throttles inside. Best set-up ever.
I love this one. This boat is my style, its a beautiful luxury apartment. And simple. Love it. Wow the space on this is awesome. Not going to lie. Out of all my boat videos over last year. This is my favorite. I'm no millionaire and this just seems perfect.

They have done an incredible job with this boat. What a great lifestyle.
Wonderful Couple! Thank you for letting us see the boat!
Absolutely beautiful craft. I’d take this over a new one in an instant. ❤️🇬🇧
What a beautiful boat. Great tour and owners. Thanks for sharing.

Wow, beautiful boat, well maintained and shown.
I'll bet they really enjoy it.
I'm old and wise enough that the simplicity of it attracts me.
We all know the boat is a good boat but that interior is at a whole different level
Yes. Insane awesome 👌
That is a really nice boat. I like everything about it. Take care of it and enjoy it every chance you get.
Wow. That interior doesn't look like it could fit inside that boat. And those are the coolest fuel guages I've ever seen. Beautiful boat.
I grew up boating with my Parents from 9 years old into my early 20’s. Loved it. Would consider living on a boat, however my wife can get motion sickness sometimes. However I would love it!
Absolutely one of the best boats to ever grace the water.
Beautiful boat,seem like a great couple living their best life.
Beautiful, you two. You both have great taste. Can't believe how much room you have on her. Some day, my wife and I would love to own a Crist Craft. 😊
Beautiful Boat! I didn't even know Chris Craft even built aluminum Cabin Cruisers! Wood & Fiberglass Yes! Aluminum? No!

While my family weekended in Oscoda Michigan on a 24' Sea Ray my dreams were expanded when beauties like this docked nearby.
What a nice yacht!! I have always loved that look and they have made it very nice! It looks like they take great care of it too!
Love the Roamers. My Grandad had a Constellation. Detroit diesels are sweeeet. You could conceivably Loop her or take her to Europe and go up the Rhine then down the Danube.
I suddenly fully understand the meaning of the word ‘envy’...
😁👍🏻
Great boat, glad they've had 7 years of enjoyment with it :)
Hi the Christ Craft Roamer is and will always be the ultimate in first class
Congratulations you two. You seem so happy. Your lifetime of work culminates in your happiness and pleasure.❤️
A Timeless Beauty, lots of living space. Ashame Chris Craft is now only ski boats and console boats.
The decorating is so tasteful and flowing.
Yeah, they really have that boat dialed in. It's a home.
Thanks for posting and sharing. Nice to see such a well maintained vintage cruiser.
Thay Look Happy. That's The Biggest Peace Of Mind And People Seem More Happy Owning A Boat. I'm A Buy One Definitely 👍
What a wonderful couple, boat & lifestyle.
I am SOOOO envious!
What a beautifully maintained and decorated boat
Lovely boat. And m'am I like your style!
This showed up today. Awesome boat!!! Thank you and the owners for sharing,
The best layout I've seen on a liveboard
It's very well designed
Can’t help but wonder why it’s for sale? They seemed so proud and in love with that boat....in any case a fine live aboard!
Look happy so GOD BLESS THEM...
Beautiful. And VINTAGE is wonderful.
OH YES!! GOT THAT DETROIT RUMBLE,ABSOLUTE BEAUTIFUL BOAT!
A couple with the right plan. They've got that old CC looking good. I sure like those 92s also.good power for that hull. She will obviously get up and run if needed.
never seen such a spacious boat. The cabins are huge .
Melbourne Beach Florida 🌴🇺🇸 USA. We see a few of them at our Summer digs up in Vermilion Ohio on Lake Erie. Very collectable !
This boat is in Jacksonville, FL
Very cool boat, and cool people.
I'll be sure to wave next time I come by the old landing.
Is what an absolute great video and that is the perfect liverboard boat they were overbuilt ultra high quality and frankly a timeless boat it will outlive all of us especially in aluminum.
The biggest thing is you have to keep them maintained or they will get ahead of you very quickly.
Great video great boat owners are they buying another boat or going for the land?
MY God what a stunning boat beautifully decorated ! I could live on that
@CullenCraft soooooo glad to see more vids from you!! My wife & I live right down in St. Augustine & we're in the process of buying a 53' Hatteras. We'd really love to chat sometime!!
Charming boat, charming owners! I love it.

What a nice couple and beautiful boat ❤
Wonderful!!! Now that's a great life you folks have.
What a boat. What a couple.
When I grow up…
I've been looking for either a Roamer or Commander, going on 5yrs now. I'd settle for a one of the larger 47' Commander's, but would do whatever I could to grab myself a 60' Roamer! Told myself, as soon as I find the right, that's it, I'm loosing my land legs & I'd be gone!
Super jealous of your friends on their Roamer! Tell them I make a great Gillian ya know!! LOL
Absolutely gorgeous boat and very tastefully decorated.... if I was in the financial position to purchase the boat today, I would in a heartbeat.💖

My favorite style yacht. I do love a Chris Craft.
Great design and truly functional. I'd take it in a heartbeat!
Always have been a Chris Craft believer , Enjoy!
Very nice. I’ve been a live a board for 21 years. Mines a 44’ Searay. Originally only planned to stay 6 mounts but love it. I do cruise regularly and going strong.
It's in your blood now!
That interior is amazing!
Oh WowZahs was a beautiful, impressive boat!!!! 🛳️
my fam had a 1969 45 Connie at that time and it was a lot of fun. Slept great up in that front v berth. The restaurant at the Marina was called "Pompanos".
