I'm back with with a 26 foot glacier bay dual console glacier bay cuddy cabin

I been watching all your videos for a year. Saved up all my money and just bought this exact model cash. You inspired me!!!

If your on a lake wanting a condo on the water that eats gas. Then buy a carver. If your in Florida think again. I would never buy it again. I currently own a 26 foot glacier bay catamaran that goes 35 knots. Just think what do you want to use the boat for?

I sold the boat and have a 1998 glacier bay and about to do videos on that. But…… my recommendation is real hardwood. It will take more time but I think you will be happier that way. Some issues with laminate. If not interconnected 100 percent it will disconnect the joints over time. Plus fiberglass and wood subfloor require different adhesive. It will look great initially but I sold it less than a year after doing install. Remember water tank and cut out future access for that. Middle of salon. I loved the carver but didn’t suit my needs long term. I used it a lot and is a beee too handle when one engine goes out.

Well yes it’s risky but if it wasn’t safe the marina would have no allowed it. I did buy another boat. 26 foot glacier bay cuddy cabin and ford f250 to pull it. Florida

Ahhhhh. Well....to answer that question is what you want to do in the water.????... if your starting research well......Well....... it's a lake boat. I was at anchor at anclote and it rocked 45 degrees. On the flybridge it was horrible. This boat has no room for a seakeeper. Ahhhhhhh. Think about what you want to do.

I bought another boat....I haven't posted the videos. Btw it was a glacier bay

At the 2nd stage regulator. Just like SCUBA.

where are you getting this offgas toxins from? everything gives off gas, the pastic in your car offgas, the amorall you use to protect offgas...point is you're not breathing through this hose 24/7. You should clean the hose before use also. you think the hose that's for "breathing" is made any different? its the same compound its just cleaned!

@@18magicMARKer The U.S. Navy created the mil-spec for breathing hose because they found that non mil-spec hose can off-gasses toxins. But I guess you know more than they do so hey, breathe thru whatever you want, genius.

@@18magicMARKer how would you clean the hose?

I hate to break it to you but the compressor you think is so superior to Tony's is also a cheap Chinese-built unit, just like his is.

​@@fstbttms Well smart guy did you know the difference is in the piston material before you made your comment or were you just making assumptions and talking shit based on them? Probably the latter but thanks for trying. You are indeed correct though that it's a cheap chinese made pump but so are the commercial units I use. If this guy wants to risk his health/life on a home made non medical grade(fittings and hoses) air system good luck to him. I just hope he doesn't inspire others to follow his foolish footsteps and get killed. Functionality wise he nailed it, but the materials are lacking.

I'm not talking about his air hose assembly or anything else. I'm talking about his (and yours) compressors. You didn't buy something special. "Commercial unit"? Bwahahahaha! You bought a generic 12-volt compressor that is available all over the internet and probably for less than you paid (assuming your link is the unit you bought.) Your compressor is of no better quality than Tony's.

@@fstbttms UGH, where did I say I bought this compressor and built mine? I didn't. You assumed again. Mine is a Commercially manufactured unit with medical/breathing grade fittings and hoses. It just happens to use the same compressor readily available from places like the link I provided.I posted it for others to avoid a possible hazard. Stop being a jealous hater and go make your own.

@@makemwunder Bwahahahaha! I have earned my living for 26 years using hookahs I have DIY'd. But maybe you'd like to share this beast of a compressor that you've incorporated into your hookah. I'll happily share mine.

You mean I would be dead Lol Yes oil less compressor

@@anthonygrasso8620 I don’t see any problem with this set up but would go for food grade hose as it not massively more and maybe a carbon filter.

The end caps/seals only expose the raw water side so no drain is required before you remove them. You might need to adjust the exhaust hoses to get your wire through the tubes to clean them out though or do what i did and just get a long flexible wire brush.

I would recommend getting the 12 LED light fixtures from amazon. Link is below. They are alittle more expensive than the 6 LED version but i think its worth it. Takes about 30 minutes to an hour to replace all of them. Use a small drill bit to make the holes for the screws, that will make your life alot easier installing them. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07F436JRL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

@@anthonygrasso8620 Thanks Tony. Any advice for popping off the old oblong covers? Also, did you replace your instrument Guage and switches as well?

@@anthonygrasso8620 Hey Tony, did you see my last inquiry regarding doing the light and your instrument gauge?

Completely safe I have 100 foot hose

Yo. We are thinking about a newer 30 foot cobia probably April of 2021. I have a feeling that there will be lots of boaters unloading boats next year once COVID is under control. I might even buy an old hatteras for a complete restoration project. That would make for some good videos

Thanks, I Had it under contract for 60k and reduced it a few thousand to fix a few items. Surprisingly there were no blisters on the bottom. These big boats have lots of small items that pop up. The biggest head turner I had was tracin down any electrical issues. Next time I would hire marine electricians and mechanics for quick diagnostics. Because it is so hard to trace back the route cause of problems. I hope you can sort out your issues. For me my main concern was to make sure engines, generator and ac were good, everything else was a honey wish list.

@@anthonygrasso8620 Thanks for reply. Ya, the engines and electrical are my main issues right now. None of the bilge pumps are working and I just noticed one of the bus bars in the engine compartment was completely corroded. The troubleshooting is definitely challenging. My plan is to have a professional diagnose and then I'll try to do repairs myself with fellow boat owner. Thanks and I'll be in touch.

Batwing2465 no trouble at all. I think your fresh water leak is coming from the water heater under the table seating. I had to replace mine last year. If your carver lists a little to port that’s the tell tell sign. Follow all the water lines from there and everywhere. Could be a water fitting,they run everywhere. I will do a video covering everything else soon.

Thanks buddy. I hope it is just that because electrical issues cause wonky things. I’ll let you know what I find

I wouldn’t read too much into comments from online people who have never been on a carver, never owned one nor even own a boat. Boats are not designed for the same purposes. Carvers are a luxury brand with great build quality. Before you consider any boat what do you want to do on the water. It’s like comparing apples and oranges with these basement dwellers who know nothing. For a first boat it is a lot to handle. Could be better with a bow and stern thruster for windy days. It can be handled with two people but dont try to take her out yourself. My channel will give you the good the bad and the ugly from an owners perspective. Do you need a lot of great space that can do Bahamas runs and handle up to 10 plus foot seas under way? Try doing that in a center console under 30 feet. First write down all your specific needs in a boat and shop around that.

I hear you thanks - that’s what I was thinking, my search was initially 26 to max 28’ boat , but most likely we’re not going to upgrade (what I see a lot!) , so if this a good boat ( not a wild thoroughbred) and I could get a good deal maybe I should consider-it fits what we like to do. Is there known/specific problems with this boat that I should look for or walk away from😎? leaks, soft spots, mechanical/electrical problems? With season almost ended in the east coast, what is the good deal on a good condition 1997-2000? I see anywhere b/w $45k -65. Again , very informative detail oriented and helpful videos- many thanks.

I would say engines on any boat would be a deal killer if they haven’t been maintained. For instance around 2000 hours you’ll be looking at a rebuild or repower. Mine only has 800 hours. Also with salt water make sure the engines are fresh water cooled with heat exchangers. Run away from any boat in salt water without them. Also Get a good survey. Make sure the owner has all records. Carver mariner 350s will range from 50k to 90k. Lower range will need some tlc. If your near st augustine I could give you a tour of mine.

Thanks- I’m in Maryland. Going to see the boat tomorrow. Owner has it for 8 years. Survey was done 3 yrs ago. All records available owner stated. new full canvas ,Sound system ,Many interior up grades, new risers and manifolds ,New carpet New floor, New vinyl for bridge seats, Rebuilt port transmission and Vdrive. Said it runs well with no known issues! Apparently, owner is selling to upgrade and has his eyes set on a boat.

That is correct. It is currently up on the market in St Augustine listed on boat trader. It is a great boat but my needs are changing. I no longer need all that cabin space interior and would like a faster lighter boat to go offshore 30+ miles in an hour to go fishing and what not. Might take a few months to unload her. On Monday i am doing a few separate videos if amazon delivers a few parts i just ordered. I will be replacing the port engine high and low pressure fuel pumps. This last trip i got intermittent loss of power while throttling up and I think I isolated it to the fuel pumps. I also will be installing the generator fuel line. I am pretty sure the old fuel line just needs to be taken off and have the o ring replaced but being a 15 year old generator i figure its only 40 bucks for a new line. I will try to get more detailed in my videos on what and how to guides on fixing things. In the previous videos i was typically like hey i have a problem and show the part and wala its fixed lol without the how to part.
