Hey Chad! Jim and I look forward to seeing your journeys! Thank you SO much for helping us out with our boating issues today! You are the best and we wish you much happiness and excitement along your many adventures!! 🎉
I'm betting needs a new cap and rotor or crankshaft sensor etc. Something spark related. But yes please let me know curious. Glade I could help out too bad we couldn't get it running.
@@TheBoatingDiaries ww finally fixed it! The ignition module had shorted out (probably because of the standing water in it due to the hurricane) firing up like a charm now 😄
Thank you !! I have made many improvements and will post an update video this week. Taking things kinda slow right now as far as travel because the boat needed some work . But getting ready and planning to cruise to key west in the next few weeks
I am a local and I saw this listing. I wanted it, prefect loop boat. But I wont be ready for another 5 years. I subscribed, I am very in how your adventure plays out. So jealous.
I hope it plays out well lol ! The boat has seemed so far with alot of TLC to be operating fine. I do need to continue to flush the oil in the engines and get the insides of the motors clean . Lots of sludge
Be very cautious flushing engines! All that sludge ends up on the oil pick up screen, and starves the engine of oil. I would clean it very slowly, by using either some automatic trans fluid or Marval Mistery Oil, added to every oil change. Replace the oil filters two or three times between oil services. Slowly clean the engine, and NO Engine Flush. @@TheBoatingDiaries
She's REALLY pretty and no doubt a great sea boat, but her open bridge in heavy weather might be uncomfortable. What's her range and best cruising speed? Will she make 1000 knots at 12 knots? She looks like she can be Blue Water rated by the Coast Guard. Yeah, one of my cousins had an 13 meter class sailing yacht, rigged for a two-man crew and Blue Water rated-as a true land-lubber, I know just enough to know stupid movies and such. Vernon passed away a couple of years ago, but I was amazed at the electronics and back-up systems required by the USCG. His boat had a Volvo 60 HP (I think-maybe 160???) diesel and a big back-up gen-set-she'd make about 9-10 knots on the diesel.
I have the Robertson ap20 auto pilot and will be doing some testing at running the boat with the auto pilot from the cabin to prepare for heavy weather. I won't be able to run the throttles or transmissions but should be able to do the steering via the ap20 remote inside the cabin
Hey Chad!! We were just checking in to see how your adventures were going! Are you still in SWFL? We just got back from the Keys and the boat ran impeccably! Thanks again for all your help!! Hope you are well!
Hi, I'm in a cove near marinatown . I been riding my kayak over to The Naughty Parrot. have you been there ? I will post a video soon. Sometimes i like making videos and sometimes not lol . wow you guys drove that small boat to the keys ? I want to goto key west eventually .
In 2001 part of the repower, the floor had a new coat of resin and engine room completely redone . Lot of work and money the previous owner put into it . I think it's a gem and I will maintain it and hopefully will last me a lifetime!
It was listed at 55k but I agreed at 45k . 5k down to broker and financed around 39k . It needed some work , mostly just preparing for a long haul journey lol
I'm not sure how long it will take me to complete the Loop. I'm filming this series and right now I have been staying in a place for a month to 2 months. For me , it's not about motoring around the loop to just complete it. I am filming this series to show marinas and the water ways . This will be a series that will be on youtube for boaters as yourself to watch forever .
This is a 36 , which was perfect for me because I am mostly solo , but it dose have a spare bedroom with bunk beds. It was also fairly easy to insure with progressive or geico
I have the same vessel. I bout mine new in 1986. We used her on the Great Lakes. Great family boat.
It sank 2 months ago ! Broke my heart I lost all the time I put into it , money etc
A Boat is a hole in the water into which one pours money, but, they're FUN!
This boat is my home and Car ....Yes they are fun for sure even at 8mph
Gonna live vicariously thru your Great Loop trip.
Stay tuned !
Get after it Chad. We are anxious to go on the loop with you. Great adventures await. Take LOTS of cash.
You definitely need lots of cash ! The loop is just the start. We could do a gulf crossing to Panama city, up the west coast to Alaska etc

Ps...ill let you know what the final diagnosis is. We couldn't flush the engine once we got back. 😢

@Kelley S I knew it was ignition . Good to hear
Just found your series, looking forward to your upcoming posts!

Thank you for an interesting and enjoyable video. To my mind you got a great boat. Best of luck with it.

Thanks for the sub!

Good luck!
I'm going to drive this boat around the world , so stay tuned .... somehow I will get it done lol
@@TheBoatingDiaries Jealous!!
Nice to see you again Hollywood so your living in Florida now
I'm living on a boat. USA

Diesel is much safer to have on a boat than gasoline. Gasoline fumes accumulate in places and that's not good. Safe travels to you.
What type of speed? Top ,cruise,hull speed and fuel usage? Great looking boat.
Speed wide open is about 18 mph ,cruise speed on this trawler is about 8mph. Full displacement hull. Twin yanmar diesels
You didn’t tell me you had jim install the engines. Impressive.
Jim Embree I believe was his name. I didn't the previous owner in 2001 did

Looks like a pretty clean engine room.

In the thumbnail is shows $45,000. Is that what you paid for that? It's a great boat for The Great Loop. Look forward to watching and learning.
It was listed at 55k but I agreed at 45k . 5k down to broker and financed around 39k . It needed some work , mostly just preparing for a long haul journey lol
Just found you on utube I’ll be following you on the loop always wanted to do that never had the time. You going by yourself on the loop trip??
I'm not sure how long it will take me to complete the Loop. I'm filming this series and right now I have been staying in a place for a month to 2 months.

Repower to diesel is not cheap.
