Great video. Wonder what the top speed will be with a Merc 430 in it.
Just stumbled on your channel, glad I found it, your's are some of the best videos on the net!
Do the seat and table on the front d3ck have a designated storage location? I would hate to hear that you just put it in the second berth. That would really mess some ones privacy up.
Capt Steve nice watch it caught my attention because one minute you were wearing it next you weren't 😂
I actually do little things like that to see who catches it.
That’s been left unloved in the anchor locker for far too long. Quietly abused by someone who has no idea how to handle rope work - ah well…..
Exactly. And this boat is manned by professionals.
Important to always show accessibility to filters and strainers. Not easy on some boats.
Thxs Capt Steve👍
Thanks for watching.
nice one, captain .
Thanks for watching
Lovely boat, perfect for Florida, not so much for the North Sea. Have a great 2025... we'll be watching. 🙂
Seems like more of a lake boat to me.
Happy new year
Happy New Year to you too!
I can’t wait for you to get one in the water steep so we can see the performance review
Love your videos Captain Steve! $200k for a 28ft boat now seems line a bargain.
Really appreciate you watching.
Hello Captain Steve happy new year
Happy New Year to you too!
Great content, really enjoyed the video
Thanks so much. Really appreciate you watching.
What is the map in the background during the intro?
That would be a chart of Nantucket Sound. My home waters.
@@captstevetests Thanks Capt Steve! love the videos.
@@dchas4842 Thanks so much. I really appreciate you watching.
I love the tours with the measurements! Please continue doing this for all tours!
I hear ya, I like 'em too! Thanks for letting me know and thanks for watching.
NO BOAT that is 37 feet should cost that much, period. ever.
I love Neptunus Yachts! Such quality and style.
Somtimes you will need to use the Center Focus for minute adjustments. Your eye that you would normally use the eye piece adjustment for will adapt to the new focus as it is such a small change. 😊
Good point, thanks for that.
What channel can I watch wheel of Fortune on?
Love the styling but miscues. No head shower? Carpet at the toilet to catch urine?
does it go 4 nautical miles with 1liter of diesel ?
good one, captain!
Thanks, and thanks for watching...
Indiana Jones 🤭 Oh yeah yeah I agree.🦗
...that's all I'm sayin...
I'm not even a boater but I learnt a lot in this video,
That's great to hear. Thanks so much for watching.
Growing up on the Florida Gulf Coast this is Good stuff. It's also nostalgic to hear mention of My favorite electronic store.. Radio Shack! 😉
@@stevecasey1037 The only place where you had to give your phone number to buy a battery....
I've always enjoyed your boat test videos and now have new ones from you! Keep up the great work and I appreciate the helpful information 👍 Stay safe and happy boating 🚢 😀
Thank you so much. I really appreciate you watching.
Captain. Steve, what is the appropriate sound signal for pulling into a slip and running aground?
Good stuff! 👍
That's a much, much nicer boat than the O'Day-12 that I learned to sail in many decades ago. Thanks for the video.👍
I agree. And thanks for watching.
If it floats, Cpt. Steve got it covered!
Up next… the battleship from my bathtub.
Nice video.
So easy! Very good explanation.
Great video!
Thanks for the visit
The most pressing question: "boo-ee" or "boy"?
Nav aid
Nice. One of my retirement goals is to get my captain’s license.
Nice. My retirement goal is to retake Rhodesia.
If playing Risk has taught me anything, it’s that we need to take over Australia first thing.
Nice.
The 320 is a dream!
What is the range ?
43 k love it, love the hull design, is that price with the 70 hp ?
It is
Thank you so much, love that boat
Finally found u again !!! ur da best brother 👍 cheers from a retired expat🇺🇲 living on the Adriatic sea in Dalmatia Croatia 🇭🇷 💪
Followed you way before covid. I've always appreciated your reviews. As an ex-athlete who's 6'6" you're one of the few who give headroom.
Nice boat . Really is. But too expensive for what it is.
It’s great to see you back on TH-cam Captain Steve! We have really missed yo9ur excellent reviews.
Thanks but it may be short lived. Getting nothing but pushback from TH-cam.
Still have my Garmin Quatix for inshore boat work recommend trying that out as current boat electronics is total *GARBAGE* still. Long Garmin strong buy 😊😊
Next video can you show us the hull structure inside the hatches please ? warranty information and hull layup schedule ? Many of us like to know construction details . Thank you
Ok will do
Deciding why the other answers are wrong is a really good way to check yourself, and your knowledge. I think for the most part, people worry about running out of time during examinations.
Is the cabinetry humidity proof?
Yes, it is.
⭐⭐⭐
I always appreciate a new Captain Steve video edit: Does anyone know if Steve does pre-purchase consulting? I'm three years out from my goal of yacht ownership and I don't want to make a mistake when the time comes for a big waste of money :)
Sure. When you’re ready reach out at Capt.stevetests@gmail.com
Good for you.
