I'm in a position where I watch and see people who grow and go far in life, it's my job. I would bet almost everything I've made over my career for the past 34 years that by the time you are 40 you'll be a multimillionaire. There are not very many kids like you out there anymore, your parents should be proud. Keep up the same attitude, it's going to make you very wealthy.
Bro, thats the American dream right there. Nothing says America more than riding on a beautiful yacht with your dad and doing things that most of us drem of. Great content.
Your father should be so damn proud. Your relationship is heartwarming! Your lucky to have a boat dad!!!
Your so lucky you have your dad with you! Great memories that in later years you will appreciate!❤️
Yep, dad's being part of great experiences are unsurpassed!
Wow, best video I ve viewed in a while. I lost my dad in 2021. In the 90,s and early 2000's we restored an old Chris Craft and cruised Lake Erie a bunch, brought all that back. Enjoy!! You ve earned it!!!
Gus - you are now "the big boat"
Oh my gawd I'M READY TO PUKE! I ran around in a channel in Hingham Massachusetts - I had only taken the wheel 5 SECONDS and BOOM 💥 thank God I have a really nice husband! F'd both props and then some...... miss that 40' Silverton - I have really been enjoying watching your entire journey from #1 video! And now a 50' Hat uggh just awesome!
Your videos have been amazing. Would love to have a trip like that. Well, we can all wish. Horrible to see so many boats damaged beyond repair. Must take ages to clear. Anyway get back to your video it has been really interesting Had a great journey.😊😊
Gus you are a truely inspirational young man, your video series should be a mandatory watch for all young people stepping out into the world. Enjoy the fruits of your hard work and get after it attitude, much deserved💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
With enough barrels of fuel on deck, and some good weather equipment, I would say it's surely possible but not the ideal boat to cross oceans with. Thanks for watching! 😀
@@InTooDeepBro agreed! When I get my boat. I'll buddy boat with you across any body of water, Gus!
Fkn CUMMINS 💪 That boat will beast 18 knots without batting an eyelash. What a spectacular journey. and with your dad. incredible memories to have.
At 52, i guess im about 25 years older than you. Im a fellow boater also in Florida and as someone that has really enjoyed your videos, I can tell you that life doesn't get any better than what you're doing right here in this series. Enjoy my friend, see you out on the water.
THIS IS WHERE I LIVE!!!! Cape Coral actually, BUT you drove right by my house!!!!!!!
Really happy for you. Your excitement is great. I’ve been a livaboard for 21 years on a 43’ Searay. Still loving it.
This is bitter sweet. I lived on my trawler on Manasota Key; not 15 miles from where your new boat fell off it’s stands during the same hurricane (Ian), but mine sank in the marina. Insurance refused to cover it so far; nearly 2 years later. I’m 75
This trip brings back so many memories. When we moved our boat from St. Pete, to Stuart, Fl on the Okeechobee and had an amazing time. This was the last time dad was on the boat before we lost him. These memories are precious and you should always cherish them. Now, the sappy stuff is out of the way. You're following the same footsteps we have and it is a wonderful way to spend time ( and copious $$$$). Keep up the good work !
Coral Gables 🌴🇺🇸 Happy Easter 🐣 🏄
15:30 mother earth creates the most incredible master pieces when she wants to! 😊
Hey dude i stumbled across your videos i think I lost much sleep as well watching i got great enjoyment my name is Joe downing im from locania NH i live on the gulf of Mexico in Alabama dude i loved the quest but the hat is badass. The wicked trashed boat.and how you brought it back to life. im so excited for you brother i hope we cross paths one day if you are able to you should stop by the Flora bama i would love to work beside you on your net project
I used to live in moorehaven. Loved seeing the big boats tie up at the lock there.
Lake Okeechobee is no joke. Kicked my ass. Had a 25' Macgregor sailboat. 25mph wind and 6 ft waves. I'd do it again. Its a nice trip everyone should do.
Your doing it right brother .....keep going!
Thank you gus for sharing youre nice life with us😊
greetsz from holland...max...
My Dad got too old for us to share anything like this. You are lucky to have this time together.
That was the First Time From anybody's Boat Channel ,that I Saw the Anchor pulled up by the Winless ! Very cool !
😅Gus,love the relationship between you and your dad ! I lost my dad at 60 yo so it’s such a gift to see You two having such irreplaceable moments in your lives. Your quite an inspiration to many younger people people out there and no doubt you make your parents quite proud. One other thing ! Excellent choices of music
Penguins use a rock to impress the chicks so a guy with a Hatteras Motoryacht should be able to attract a nice mate after you make the bed and do a few more improvements. It will be interesting to see where this all takes you.
I think that your future adventures will be legendary. Please keep recording your exploits and have smooth sailing where ever you venture.
Native Floridian and my dumb whatever just found out there was an Okeechobee Waterway. TOO COOL!!
Nice trip
What a sweet boat dude. I am super impressed with all the skills you have but probably most of all your captaining skills. It looks like the boat has side thrusters you are moving it so well. good job brother.
I envy you. What a great way to live your life and spend time with your father!
Keep up the great vids. I wish more young men were as industrious and worked as hard as you. Enjoy the spoils you have earned. Props to your folks as well. Stay safe ! 🇺🇸
The dingy does not look bad up on top there. A good use of that space. I would not put a jet ski up there, I know you repaired it but I would not chance that much weight up there. The dingy is fine. You have done a nice job on the boat so far and I look forward to seeing you continue working on it. Hatteras makes some VERY nice boats and has nice wood work on them. I have thought about a live aboard myself but I would probably go with a 35 foot boat or so. 50 is a big boat. More space and everything, but big to maneuver around and more expense for docking and stuff. Keep up the great work and safe boating!!!
Anchored up... is where ya wanna be at sundown. That is the best evening and overnight sleep you can hope to get. And it can be magical.
AWSOME JOB..
your dad is an awesome guy
HELL YEAH!!!!!! The girls are back!!!! Gus your a bad ass my brotha!
17:30 almost looked fake. When it sped up the video was so clear. That was the nicest sunrise I think I ever seen. WoW
UA-cam just popped this up, first time here. A worthy recommendation too.
Another great video budroe. Really enjoy watching your saga. From a 74 year old Dad, it's great you were able to share that time with your Dad & that you are doing this at a great stage in your life. What you have done the past few years WILL guide the rest of your life.
I have made that trip in both directions in a powerboat when we stayed in Stuart for a month in a condo on the St. Luce. Stuart is a well kept boaters secret on the east side of FL. All the snow birds wanna be on the west side. You can stay twice as long in the Stuart/Ft. Pierce area only stones throw from Jupiter and West Palm Beach. Love what you are accomplishing.
I love your videos. I lost a vacation home in Ft Myers after Hurricane Ian. It has always been a desire of mine to cross Florida on the waterway. I have even visited the W.P. Franklin locks by car to see what they looked like up close. I live vicariously through you. You are an inspiration. You are living your best life. Congratulations! Can't wait for the next video.
I’m enjoying your channel, it’s nice that you get to experience your journey with your Dad. I grew up without mine but at 27 I reconnected with him. He is now retired but was a salmon fisherman on the west coast. He had a 55’ double-ender fishing boat built in 1939. I had the opportunity to go out fishing with him several times and those are some of my fondest memories. Enjoy your time together! We’ll be subscribing and following along!
What a special moment in time. Congrats on your awesome boat. It seems like you basically re-built it on your own. You are an excellent role model for young men everywhere.
boat vibes sent me, great content! Binged watch your 3 most recent videos! 15:18 what a view!
Nice... hope to see you soon!!
Excellent video. Beautiful vessel.
Your are
Living my dream! I would love for nothing more than to make that trip with my dad!
Well, if your dad can’t make a trip and you need a 1st mate….. I am offering up my services 😎
Not many 20 something year olds can say they own a 50’ Hatteras motor yacht. On your trip down last year you probably stopped in New Bern NC, home of Hatteras boats
Love your channel man we should’ve known you were in the Port Charlotte area I live in North Cape Coral would’ve love to pitch in and give you a helping hand only one thing I need to correct my friend it’s the caloosahahie river and not the Okeechobee river
its a dream boat. Congratulations
verry verry verry nice ship btw😁😊
I live in southwest florida and it was great to take a virtual trip with you west to east. Thank you for posting this. Your skills as a mechanic are very impressive.
I really love your video's! They are fun and I learn a lot from them... Keep them comming.
That’s the Life of a Millionaire… absolutely seething with Jealousy. Phenomenal Vessel Buddy. Pure classy. Excellent Piloting through sketchy Waters.
Fort Myers native here, I kept yelling Caloosahatchee when toy guys were saying Okeechobee canal. Great video, cool to see you do one of my favorite trips.
wow with it sped up like that it was like driving on a interstate lol crazy
That ole Hady’s gonna be a killer pimp pad for sure ! 😎🤙🏼
God, I love my State!.. well done video... good luck with the final punch out work, glad you scored that Hattie!
Another awesome video! Those views were amazing. As an amateur radio operator, I can't help but imagine how fun it would be operating out on the water!
livin a dream my young new interweb friend lol love the content!
That reflection shot in the morning at the lock, was totally awesome, Captian.
Man that was neat voyage with your Dad and at the end glad you got to enjoy New Years Eve with your friends. The hard work has paid off!
Been waiting on this to drop! Let's get it!
Like the way you fixed up your 50 ft boat made by Haddaress
So many boats. 😮😮😮Some look lije just barely missing you.
Awesome video
She is a lovely boat so comfortable and spacious with all that lovely crafted woodwork and those two CUMMINS engines.There will be lot's of work to be done until she is the way you want her,but she will be well worth it.Enjoy her and sailing her.Well done nice to share these times with your dad.
You are living my dream good luck to you
That’s a beautiful yacht. I was onboard a 53’ Hatteras SF, the “Temptation”, out to the 30 line off Montauk LI tuna fishing. Great memories.
Really got a kick out of this trip.I've driven all around the whole Okeechobee area and never saw any of the river. I've missed a lot. Did you see any alligators? That whole area if part of the Everglades and the place is crawling with gators and pythons. No swimming. Ha!great video. Thanks.
awesome buddy, the last seconds of this video sums it all. keep on boating ! And the cat needs to come back, real chick magnet too ;)
You can beat Cummins 12/24 Valves. You did good!
Cherish the time you have with your father, I know that he is
YOU ARE MY HERO! GREAT CONTENT 👍
Dude. Great boat. You are a super talented and hard working guy. I’ll keep an eye out for you on the water.
Right past my house in St. James city on Pine Island and yes there was a lot of damage. Good trip. Thanks.
Your a lucky man to have Dad and boat enjoy time in life is short!!?
Enjoy these times.
You should definitely rename the boat. It's Seam's like your gonna have it for a while and you Def love it. CraSea (or CraySea) Life, or CraSea Hat
Man if you ever make it into the gulf, come up to the Destin, Pensacola Beach area. You won’t be disappointed.
Livin the life Gus!!!
Hey Gus, What An Awesome Video, Mate! I Can't Wait For The Follow-Up. Big Ups To Your Dad! From South Africa!🤓
Amazing morning view
I've never been on a boat like this, of should I say floating motor home! Way cool, I can only dream of such a thing, so envious of you!! And it has gotta be nice and amazing having such a great Father to come along with you and help you! Great videos wish you would post more often. Also, that sunrise was soooooo amazing
Wow! You just went by where I lived at a motel on the WPB inlet. I almost got run over by a big yacht coming into WPB while I was fishing by Peanut Island one night. The yacht had no lights on and I only saw it as it blocked out the lights from the buildings along the inlet and just missed being run over because I started the engine and headed to Peanut Island. Never fished there again.
that looks like a good live on boat I would love to live on a boat no more being homeless or worrying about finding some where to live
Out of the two ways to get across the Lake, I like the outside one where you see the wildlife.
That's a nice boat, I like the old wood in it
That really is an awesome boat. You are livin' the life.
Lived just east of Ortona lock for 10 years. Back in mi now but sure do miss the boats.
38:17 I heard Tyler Childers playing, and just before was thinking; how great it would to be cruising and listening to tyler Childers or Zach Bryan🤘🏻
43K views in 4 days !! Nice work !! You have a big enough boat now to set up a pod cast studio and go full time.
I have to say you have a great set of skills for redoing the boats. Looks like your whole life experience has set you up well. 👍
should do a video on maneuvering a boat that size. i'm looking at a 50' hattaras myself.
I love your video. We did the exact trip when we bought our boat in Ft. Myers. Years later we renovated 2 other boats. Great adventure
Hopefully you're well!! MISS YOUR VIDEO S
Good job have fun sail on
Fabulous, thank you for taking us along on your journey. You should invite MAV and 2Vintage YT channels down for a ride in the Winter Months
Solo from here to Boca, I am guessing not for long. Friends and relatives you've never met, subscribers, and groups of young women
Made the trip a bunch of times in a 18’ Jon Boat with a 60 hp Yamaha all welded MV hull got the one without the center seat and had room for a one man tent for overnights Most times I would just go up and back on the weekends but went all way two Stuart twice
Hey. I'm new. Awesome trip. Had a bud in W. Palm. Would take a load down there(owner op. trucker), then we'd head out fishin', divin' or drop down to the keys. That is one Mega Jumbo bow pulpit; I love it.
