Another nice and good video. you guys are the reason i this year bought a brand new 695 150HP Yamaha. I love the boat and hope to have good trips like you have, Alex
@ChasingSunsets I am originally from Denmark. But I own a plastic factory in Bangkok Thailand. The boats port is Juelsminde Denmark. In 10 days I will go summer holliday in Europe. Road trip Austria - italy- switzerland 10 days And sailing the boat on and off for 3 weeks. Can't wait...
Hi. Thanks for your vids. Helped me a lot to make my decision. I own now a brand new MF 695 with a Mercury 150 hp. I do have two major issues. No. 1 the starboard window is somewhere untight. Rain is come in the boat between the window and the lower sealing, it is impossible to find the leak. I contacted the dealer and the MF will go there for repair in a few days. Issue no. 2 is that there is a strong fuel smell in the cabin after leaving the boat in the berth overnight. I checked all areas of the boat and opened all service hatches but cannot find any residues of gasoline. Did you have also fuel smell in your cabin? I have also complained about this, they will check it together with the leaking window. I am bit disappointed although this boat makes really fun. Greetings from Switzerland. Gerd.
Hey Gerd, I'm really glad our videos helped you. Luckily, I did not have any major issues or gas smell. I did, however, realise over the years that new boats always come with various little issues. Some need to be fixed by the dealer, and other, you simply need to bite the bulet and do it yourself in order o get it resolved quickly and to your standards. Don't be too disappointed. This boat will bring you plenty of joy for years to come...simply work at getting those issues fixed and have fun. Cheers bud 🤙
In the process of buying a 2019 NC 695 with Yamaha 150hp outboard. Would be cool to get your advice on towing, putting in, taking out, securing on the trailer, etc.
Hey Richard, that is awesome... you can reach out to me via IG at yvanlaviolette or chasingsunsets71 and I will be happy to answer your questions. Cheers 🤙
Hey Flint, we are french Canadians(Acadians), speaking a mix of French and English (called chiac). We speak french at home but do the videos mainly in English for everyone. Where are you from?
Thank you, much appreciated. I have the 695 Sport (same hull as yours) They fitted mine with 18 and 14 1/4 I think that mine is the wrong prop I will find out in the spring as I didn’t receive my boat until October 😕
Agreed, all those moments do add up to priceless memories. Enjoyed the video!
So true :-) Hope you get to spend lots of time on your new boat as well. 🛥
Always worth it! Here in the UK we get used to doing half our boating in the rain! Great video.
Totally agree...put the wipers on and some good Irish Music and all is good. Cheers bud 🤙

Hey Alex, that is awesome. I'm glad our videos helped guide you in choosing a boat. Where is home-port for you?

Wow, that sounds like you will have quite the trip. Enjoy and all the best with your factory in Bangkok. Cheers 👊
Nice video and wow what a lovely area!! Heard a lot about it but never got to see it yet so thanks for sharing.
Yes, it's a great boating area and even more beautiful in the fall when the trees change colors. Did you get your boat yet?

Hello! At 4000 rpm, how many knots?
Thinking about buying one of these in Norway!
Hey Gustave, 20kts is the perfect crusing speed for this boat when equipped with a yamaha 150. She runs at 4100rpm at that speed. It's a great boat 🤙
@@ChasingSunsets thanks!😁 looks like a perfect boat.
What's the other language you are all speaking?
Hey Flint, we are french Canadians(Acadians), speaking a mix of French and English (called chiac). We speak french at home but do the videos mainly in English for everyone.
Where are you from?
@@ChasingSunsets I’m from Australia. Does anyone speak chiac in france?
Nice...Australia is on my bucket list. Chiac (Acadian French) is specific to South Eastern New Brunswick Canada.
What is the top speed of your boat?
I Bill, I believe it's around 32 knots, but I always cruise at 20 knots and occasionally open it up.
Hi again! Can you tell me which prop you have on your boat? Is it a Reliance stainless . Also what numbers? (diameter and pitch). Thank you
Hi Bill, I am not sure of the details but will take a look this weekend. Cheers 🤙
@billgarton6142 Hey Bill, it is a reliance stanless steel 15 and 14 1/2.
Thank you, much appreciated.
I have the 695 Sport (same hull as yours)
They fitted mine with 18 and 14 1/4
I think that mine is the wrong prop
I will find out in the spring as I didn’t receive my boat until October 😕
