Panama City Beach not Panama City. Not trying to be nitpicking but they are different cities. Lol
thanks, corrected
Nice boat
How does it perform with that 150 with 4 or 5 people on it?
Are you selling the boat?
Did you sell it?
yes sold within couple of weeks thanks for watching
Just bought one yesterday 2024. 200 Yamaha, Garmin installed, hard top. 65k for boat 5k for trailer. NEW
Congratulations you will love it, they are much better-quality boats than given credit for and well powered with the 200. They sure are getting expensive these days
I must have made a mistake only a 150hp. Is that underpowered? Haven't taken delivery yet but I'm thinking underpowered.
Got it at boat show, I am sure the boat at boat show had a 200 on it, my fault I missed it on the paper work. I may back out as that was one of the reasons I pulled the trigger on it.
Who's dog is that 😮
Thats is Lo's moms dog
Well done. The manufacturer probably does not do this to keep down the cost. Enjoy your upgrade.
yep not to mention pain in the but to do
Fantastic job 💯
Paying attention to tide tables is critical. The outgoing tide can be treachery for the novice boater, and there are heaps of them. Newbies put alot of people at risk...you dont play the fool navigating this inlet. Even 2' rip inside the north jetty is not a fools game
agreed definitely need to speak with locals, thanks for watching
Awesome thank you
your welcome thanks for watching
Andy once lead me thru puddles over knees. Definitely not good for an e-bike.
My bike is supposed to be waterproof
Very well done.
Thank you kindly!
Corps....
Thank you for the correction
11 bucks a night with a full hookup always close to a lake.
yep what is not to like
I see its got the new roofs after the Hurricane. We hosted there in 2021 and 2022.
Place is amazing so much to do on and on the grounds. We would love to host there
Thank you! Love Corps of Engineers Parks!
We do also it allows us to save a lot of money and they are always clean
They are cheaper now. NEVER a single. Twins ONLY!
I would have thought that the prices would have gone up as they became more popular
Did it last week at nearly 54. Easy and quick with hiking poles and backup pair of hiking shoes. Neoprene socks help prevent blisters, too. Need to be on 1st shuttle up to avoid the gaggle of people. Unbelievable hike!
agreed slow and steady we had a blast
Living the dream...so happy for you guys.
Thanks best decision ever
Are you out of your mind 0:42 0:42
Late 60's/Early 70's entry level bike and cheap helmet. She is a beginner and should really stay on those trails. She was way above her head. Its important to read the signs and know what type of trail you are on.
They both were middle age, and i believe were just getting back into riding problem with Florida is there is not a lot of riding spots.
It’s simple don’t ride trails outside your skill level 🤷🏻♂️
They were getting back into it but yes, we need to access our capabilities
Check out Darkfest if you want a real mtn-biking challenge.
Your background music is too loud
thanks for the input
Love it! Great message. We are same age group and the Great Loop is our dream too. Practicing for retirement is a great view point! Thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching. We changed up a little and are now traveling the country in our rv however are still planning on doing the Great Loop just haven't found the perfect liveaboard as of yet
No. I'll be 64 in September and I did it a couple of weeks ago (first week of July, 2024). No walking stick required.
only as old as you feel, Most of the time anyway LOL! hope you had as much fun as we did.
I'm glad you enjoyed your time here! Great video
Thanks, we really had a great time and can not wait to come back for another visit.
loved it will return
I Hope you have a great time while your in my town!!
Your town is awesome, for a coastal town it is very laid back and relaxing
Thank you
Welcome love this place
I have been through here many times. Watch the tide tables. You'll be fine.
agreed but it truly is a roller coaster ride that you must respect LOL
How do you get 200 hp out of 150 Yamaha it's probably the same block four-cylinder and cubic inches are the same are there bolt on items like the fuel injection system because I have a 250 six cylinder and the 300 Yamaha is the same displacement I was just wondering what they do to get the horsepower up from 250 to 300 because there's a big price difference on the engine
airflow, timing, and mapping it is all about fuel and air you are correct the injectors are larger with a higher output fuel pressure. thanks for watching.
Loved your video. Have always been curious of Emerald Cove, will definitely give it a try. Btw I could listen to your voice all day lol
Thanks, on both accounts you will love it try to be there around lunch or a little after.
Great job 👏🏻
Thanks for watching
My wife and I are school teachers in our early/mid 40s with two teenage daughters. We wonder all the time how people afford things these days. Like everyone else I watched the inflation price my family out of a 21-23’ boat. We are having a great time in our NauticStar 191 Hybrid, but I could not justify current prices with our kids needing cars and college money.
I could not agree more, we talk all the time about how it seems that the current path that the economy is heading that retirement is or may be nothing but a unattainable dream for the middle class. Thanks for watching and love the Nautic Sta line also.
I practically lived at Powell one year. We took the houseboat, the fishing boat , and rented a jet ski. We camped out at Hobicat beach for a month. We had great tans by the time we got home. We lived in So.Utah about 4 hours away. Good times❤🎉
sound like you had a great time, We are headed back this year to explore more of the area again. Thanks for watching
We did that last year. The one mile on Lake Powell was the hardest part. It was super choppy. But once in the canyon, it was awesome. It's amazing how much of this was under water in the past.
We agree, hope to do it again in the future.
How long is the hike once you get to there? I thought I heard you say you hiked for 2 hours?
@@elizabethleonard8278 All depends on how far you go in we about 2 hours in and took a little less out 1.5. Most people we spoke to going in did not make it past the ladder but there is so much more to see after.
As first time campers and first visit to Colorado Springs, we are searching for the best mountain views. Do you recommend this park for such?
Thank you for the tour and recommendation!
The Mountain Views are not the best however there is no busy city Traffic either, if you really want to see some beautiful mountain views you have to leave the Springs. I would recommend you take a day trip to Eleven Mile Canyon ( We camped there for a few days and loved it ( see video in channel). MountainDale RV has some OK views we liked it for the quiet country feel. There is not really any place in the Springs to camp without the hustle and bustle, check out Garden of the Gods, and Palmer Park ( did video's on both). We lived there for years and there is plenty to do just have to drive a hour or so. Also the Royal Gorge is a great place to visit really a must see. Hope you have a great stay thanks for watching
@@the50somethings thank you for your reply and the tips!
The reason there are so many different boats is because there are so many different people. You can't find two cuoplles that like the same model so they have different items to put on a boat. If you don't like this one, don't buy it, find something you like, equip it with the bells and wistles you like and buy iy. These boats are made in the US and you don't have to wait 3 or 4 years to pick one up. They also have excellent customer service. No waiting for parts from across the pond that can take months to arrive. It's all what you are willing to pay for and what suits your needs.
That is true, we tend to change up everything soon after we purchase anyway to make it our own. Thanks for watching.
Come to Western Colorado, lots of stuff to see and do here in the Grand Junction and surrounding areas. We have a Escalante canyon that has some interesting things to see but the Colorado Nat'l monument is great and go from there to miracle Rock up in Glade Park and hiking in the Fruita desert area to see the Dinosaur 🦖🦕 extraction area and coming in from Utah at Rabbit Valley stop at the trail through time and literally step on 2 full dinosaur skeletal remains embedded in the pathway and the 3rd one at the top is at a bit higher point (the skull) was removed and is at the Grand junction museum. Fruita also has a dinosaur journey museum.
Lo is from Colorado Springs and we did spend some time at Gunnison (Elk Creek) resting and kayaking // fishing love the area we are going to be back end of the summer we hope.
Just found and joined your channel 😊
Thanks, hope you enjoy the content i know we sure love making it and sharing our experiences with others.
VERY cool looking there, quite the hike though to get to them. Thanks for the nice relaxing hike I took with you. Have a good trip and always stay safe.
👍
I think I would like it more without the CB.
We hope to find something like this Ranger for the Great Loop when we are finally ready to make the trip, and i did find the CB to be a little flimsy. Thanks for watching.
I have a 2020 KW 176CC and looking to go to this 219FS.
You will not regret it the 219fs is a great mid tear boat will do everything you need.
What a beautiful place my friend, brilliant shots!
Thanks we had a great time, thinking about stopping by again this summer.
Nice video. Try and pan a little slower. Just a little jerky. They have nice video handles that make it easy. Blessings
will do learning everyday thanks for watching
your under powered
That engine was mapped and actually had more than enough power for our use purpose but i do agree if you are running heavy it could have used more tq
As a family of 4 we have spent 19 days cruising the San Juan Islands on the R25. You can definitely do much more than just a weekend on these boats
We are looking to do the Great Loop after we finish RVing the Us and it looks like it might be the one.
really like how you modded it for more efficiency and your uses, have you sold this yet?
yes it has sold thanks for watching
