Congratulations! I am so happy for you!!! I can't wait to see the boat once you finish.
Showing the upgrades you do in your different homes is definitely interesting. I enjoy hearing the plans and seeing them once they are completed. The out of the box thinking to solve unique problems is great.
hell yeah! I have a wife and kids so im living vicariously through your channel, thank you Brandon/skipper.. cheers
Oh wow, Brandon! That boat is so nice! I can’t wait for the next video to see the interior all fixed up. Much more impressive than my little kayak 😆
Haha thank you! Excited to show everything!
PAINT IT BLACK !! That way you can stealth sleep and no one can see you. Gotta be careful, them pirates are bad people
This is Sweet! I’m excited to follow along!
I started watching your channel in 2019 because I saw your bus at your parents house when I was selling pest control door to door, I’ve loved watching your videos ever since!
Good luck with is new adventure bro!
No way thats awesome! Thanks for supporting!
I moved from boatlife to RV and Vanlife. Excited for your next adventures, congratulations!
Haha exact opposites! Thanks for the support!
Hyped for you, the boat is perfect! excited to see where you can take it
Thanks!! I’m super excited for this chapter of life!
Excited for this next adventure.
Love watching you fix it all up Brandon. Can't wait to see it done n on the water. ❤❤
Subbed! Boat life is an upgrade in my eyes from van life, similar, but your boat can access places a van will never go! Some glassy anchorage at midnight . . .
Super excited for you. 💜
exciting new adventure! Im ready for this!
Congratulations man !! Can’t wait to see all the new adventures you go on with that thing!
I had sailboats in San Diego california. And I lived on all four of them. Sailed them out in the Pacific to Catalina Island down south into Mexico, it was one of the greatest times that I've ever had in my whole life!
Boat life is the best. I miss it. I lived on a 2 story houseboat on Lake Shasta for 5 years. Best days of my life. I Got Married and had to give it up for a home. Hopefully, soon I can convince the wife we need a houseboat to spend our summers on. I know the kids would be all for it. Enjoy it while you can. Time flies. Always check the hose fittings and clamps in the engine compartment. All it takes is one loose hose clamp to sink a boat. Put extra automatic bilge pumps. They are cheap investments. I also put a water level alarm. If the water in the hull exceeds the preset depth a loud alarm would go off. I never had an issue but it helped me sleep well at night knowing I had all those safety precautions. There is a UA-camr "B for Build" whose yacht sank because of a single hose coming loose and he had no warning.
Or did he sink it for views?
The acronym for boat
Bring
Out
Another
Thousand
Hahaha well at least that’s how we felt with all the different boats we’ve had … Best Wishes.
It’s so true haha
Just started following you when you did the cave with the young lady……and now just catching this video love all the diff content keep up the awesome work
YEAH BUDDY. Bro, next time you're in Albuquerque hit me up. Would love to meet you brotha.
Nice one "Skipper"...!
Nice! excited for more videos of this bro
Excited for you. Enjoy!!!
Man, this is so sweet. I am so jealous of this. I kind of want to do this for a month one summer. Maybe travel the great lakes?
Super interested in this. Keep them coming hoss. Congrats!
Plenty more to come!!
After you get that boat fixed up, you can invite Sarah on alittle trip with you. It'll be fun. :)
We'll see, I'll have to convince her to leave the pacific northwest!
Yay, been waiting for this video!
i have seen lots of videos on van builds, am interested to see how a boat builds shapes up. especially for a live-aboard full time
So happy for you with the boat. It will be a hoot. Very nice boat. Good luck. Thanks for sharing.
Logistics specialist here. You can send it the way it is but it is probably cheaper to remove it. Being that all you would have to have pilot cars with feeler gauges and they would have to go over every overpass.
I build boats for a living, 25 plus years. I would love to have a project like this to work on. Nice
Good thing you have all that experience with minibus, ambulance and minivan builds.
I had a cruisers yachts quite some time back and overall i enjoyed it. the motor and outdrive setup on it was a Cobra and i will never own anything with a cobra motor on it again. Super happy for you and wishing you the best! If you haven't already done so i would put together a compartment of spare engine parts... belts, impellers and gaskets... Enjoy! subbed and waiting for more boat content!
Trust that the inspection was worth it in the end.
Yeah the peace of mind was worth it
A new adventure for you Brandon. I know about boats because be dad used to own sailboats when he was alive. I have seen the bottom of boats before. Congratulations on the boat. Love seeing your adventures Brandon. ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you!!
Hey Brandon!! Congrats on the new boat! It’s beautiful! 🛥 😃 Can’t wait to see it when you’re done fixin it up! Have fun and stay safe on your new adventure!! 🥰🤩
Thank you! Will do!
Nice Boat!! I can't wait to see it after you fix it up. I'm happy for you man take care love you❤
Your living the dream of most of us..Thankyou for the views...
Thank you!
You kids today are so funny. Let’s prioritize the stereo system. 😊
those two outdrives are going to be a big problem for a liveaboard...... your inexperience is showing, and its going to cost you big$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. You got me hooked.
Follow along to find out
Congratulations man! The boat looks great. I’m stoked for all the cliff jumps/ rope swings 🙌🏼
Thank you!! It's gonna be a good time!
Right on man congratulations. Just bought a boat last month also. 🤙🏾
Have fun with the boat, make sure to use it. Take it places and make memories.
I’ve been using it a lot!
A) your dad is a BOSS!!!!
2) that launch was sketchy. Very impressive 😝
haha thank you! I was nervous!
you know BOAT stands for Bust Out Another Thousand, right?
Oh yes that has been very true so far. This thing is draining my bank account 😂
Looking forward to the full tour of your new digs; And seeing wot you do to it.
Going to post a full tour video soon!
Very true, that’s what most ex-boat owners said. To add on, they said the boat is like a lady… always wet below! However, the wet bottom of the boat is dangerous especially when one is far out in the sea. Then some older saying goes… “always have both feet on the ground if want to feel safe”. So here’s my verdict after I got my van camper…. I feel safe when I can just brake and stop if I’m coming into danger and if my car steering malfunction I can leave the car where it is and walk home. I remember I was screaming like hell when my boat steering hydraulic failed and at that precise moment I’m passing under the bridge!!! Now…. no more boat for me….haha
Trade it for a sail boat!!! Use the wind my friend it's free and everywhere!!!
Its a hell of a nice boat don't get Me wrong but living on a boat and keep cost way down sailes are way to go
You won't have to motor everywhere and burn gas or diesel or I mean $$$ at end of the day.
That honestly does sound pretty nice haha
Well I did forget ull be just in lakes no? If so keep the boat lol, dunno why I was thinking maybe ocean.
This is awesome, boats are great content! You're going to learn a LOT!
If it a good motor set up only need 1 motor unless both start at same time make 1 controlled of switch
Very exciting! Love boating, this will be a fun project!
Can't wait!
When is Sarah joining as crew?
Good question. I’m gonna have to get her out here !
I woke up with the aft cabin windows a few feet under water , in the slip at the marina , was absolutely terrifying, the water was up to the bed
Absolute nightmare fuel.
Never run a generator where’s there no shore power with the exterior enclosure closed even with the blowers running ,,, my mom and grandma were calling my uncle 41 big healthy man no answer they went down to the boat , found him dead in the cabin of the boat autopsy revealed carbon monoxide poisoning ,,, this man was on the Great Lakes since 8 years old to 41 ,, very experienced boater , carbon monoxide rolled back down into the cabin
@@morgangentle1515 wow Im very sorry to hear that
Wow!!! Boat life!!!
Hi, just come across your video I find it very interesting so I’m looking forward to newvideos I’ve subscribed from Australia
Awesome! Thank you!
Welp, this is different! lol Congratulations Brandon...how fun, well except for taking that thing off! Good catch! I would also be putting in a whole new subwoofer system...gotta have that bass baby!
Sound system is the most important thing on a boat haha!
@@BrandonGross And in a van! lol
Congrats!
i love this adventure!!
Does this mean you won't be coming to Mooresville NC?
I once rented a house boat for a week in Fort Myers Florida. We had to use a dinghy to get to shore. It was an adventure for sure.😊
New Sub. ….I’m Loving Watching This Whole Boat/Home Episode, Watching The Newest Episode After This One.🤗
You getting an oversized load permit anyway, shouldn’t have to take the boat apart. 14’6” should be the height you have to worry about.
Nice!!!! Wtheck you gonna make us wait to see the inside? You’re not right in the head and need a time out mister. ❤I just know it will be amazing. I’ve seen all your other vehicles so I know what you are capable of. ❤
Haha it's too much of a mess! But Soon!!
The two happiest days of a boat owner’s life are the day they buy it, and the day they sell it…;) Enjoy the next chapter dude! Looks fun.
I sold my smaller boat and bought this one within 24 hours of each other, so I was extra happy haha
No way I love my sail boat it makes me happy
Not true at all boats are way simpler to repair then a car.
Not true I sold my 19 ft century center consol and can't wait till I move to Florida and get a new boat.. $$$$ going bye bye...
Exactly man just wait this guy will be sleeping and wake up ten feet under the water
New subscriber! Can’t wait to see the adventures! You keeping the name or changing it?
So pretty much House Boat Life
AT Least you had time to grab and setup the camera as you caught the thing. Thank God....
There was nothing I could do at that point so why not film on my phone 🤷🏻♂️
Wait Brandon 🛑. I go from a ProMaster to a Toyota sienna last week. I was just thinking about your van and researching houseboats yesterday. Now I turn on the tubes and see this? Man after my own heart 😂😂
haha that's wild!!
LETS GO BRANDON...LETS GO BRANDOM❤ STEELERS RULE. EAGLES ROCK
congrats on the boat buddy....i have to admit, all of that towing and docking of the boat i was like...hhhmmmm....if he only had a 4WD ambo to manhandle that boat around....lol. anyway, i'm sure you'll have that sweet ride all over the place!!
thanks!! Haha yeah I wish i could have both!!
Do you have to take a course in driving a boat and all that goes with it? Can’t wait to see it all finished!
It's an online course for a boaters license but it's good for life!
Awsome idea to sleep over in the boat vs sleeping in a vehicle !!!
You could still make that boat up to par then trading or selling it 4 a nice sail boat 😁 dunno why i could see u sailing better alot of the way and learing a ton at same time about sailing and wind. And still crank out content on the remodel of the boat now.
Congratulations
BEAST!
I enjoy these videos and find it very interesting.
Glad you like them! Plenty more to come!
Don’t forget to get yourself a Brompton Bike !
A what??
IM CURIOUS WHAT YOUR MOTHER HAD TO SAY WHEN SHE SAW YOUR ARK??
Boat stands for bust out another thousand😢 best way to get on a boat is to know a guy that's got a boat.
Refrigerator straps should work
Clip the mic on and keep your hand on the wheel you mad man
Of course it's not a houseboat. Thought it would be good enough for me to live on.
summersville lake.!!
Never been able to say first comment and like
Driving for 4 with no brake lights one the trailer??? I hope you get a ticket!!
Wasnt my choice.. the transport guy was towing, I was trailing behind
It's called a jell coat
Captain Brandon!!
The gas is gas station price. Not marina gas prices
marina gas prices are awful
You gonna pull it with that car!!😂
Haha I wish!
Balzy with an aluminium f150...lol..nicely done!!!
haha she did great!
Your " port " is a hatch.
Did you just put non ethonal fuel in boat tanks? Bad idea for your fuel lines and motors!
It's called a hatch
I’m not a boat person but why not drive the boat to Steeler Land?
Please show everything 🙏 that you do to your boat
I'm thinking of doing the same thing
Do it!!
I am so glad that you found your boat I want to live in a boat myself I don't have much money so I'm going to have to go for a boat that's sitting in the boat yard and needs a lot of work which I don't mind doing like I said I am so glad for you
What model is it? I had the same problem getting my Sea Ray from LONG Island to Lake of the Ozarks. Arch had many issues removing and reinstalling. UGH!!!
Cruisers yachts 300cxi. Yeah such a pain to transport them. But how did you like lake of the ozarks?? I’ve wanted to go
@BrandonGross It's great as long as you have a clear expectation. We keep our 340 Sundancer there but your 300 would be on the smaller end of cruisers and the waters can get quite rough on weekends. But the partying is GREAT!!!
Did you change the anodes on the outdrives?
I changed most of them. But some were still good
cabin cruiser..not a houseboat..still cool
Yes !!!!!🎉 I’ve been waiting for you to post a boat video !😍 so happy and so excited for you and all your new adventures Brandon! Already seen some from your Instagram but excited to watch it on here!☺️
Thanks for following along!! Plenty more to come!!
Great new purchase buddy! Can’t wait to see all the dancing bikinis on it this summer! 🍻🎉
Hahah I hope so but realistically probably going to be just me and my guy friends jumping off things
Houseboat or cabin cruiser?
Cabin cruiser haha. But most people don’t know that term
