This video felt like visiting with family. I live in Alberta but my mom is from Nova Scotia and we have a lot of family in New Brunswick. I think that I shall have to visit again. Thank you for reminding me of how wonderful it felt to be in the Maritimes with family!
Hey John, that is awesome, best comment I had so far. Glad we were able to bring you back to the Maritimes momentarily. Feel free to follow us on Instagram as well at chasingsunsets71 for more little clips during the summer. Hope you get to visit soon. Cheers bud 👊
Totally awesome videos I also am considering this boat seems perfect and you guys are awesome 👌
Thanks Donald, I appreciate the comment. Let me know if you have any questions ok. Always happy to help out.
Keep up the great work my old friend!
Thanks Jeff, just getting my feet wet, but it should be an interesting journey.
Very nice video, I love the 895! Cheers from Italy 🇮🇹
Thanks for watching and commenting Mattia, I would love the 895 as well :-) Cheers my friend 👊
What a fabulous beach you found there
Thanks Colin, it is indeed, we spend our summers on this beach. Thanks for watching 👊 Yvan.
Amazing!! Love the channel! Work hard play harder!!
Thanks Andres, it's a fun way to share our little family adventures.
C'est rare que je mette des commentaires mais j'adore vos vidéos! Nous sommes en France et regardons pour l'achat du même bateau alors à part les vidéos de présentation commerciale c'est top de voir les vôtres! J'ai l'impression de vivre l'aventure avec vous!
Merci de prendre temps de nous laisser un commentaire Jonathan...je suis bien content que vous aimez nos vidéos et j'en ferai un en français bientôt. Au plaisirs de vous ramenez sur d'autres aventures 😀
I have exactly the same boat as you! I love it. I live in Southampton, UK, and drive my boat around the Solent/Southampton Water. Busiest shipping area in the world, so I have to be careful!
That is awesome Andrew and we love it too. Luckily for us, we do not have any shipping Ships in our area but still need to be carefull with other boaters and pwc's popularity increasing year over year. Cheers from Canada my friend and thanks for watching 👊
Great video :)
Thanks Nicky, we appreciate the comment.
Hello from New Zealand! Great "real" video. Seriously considering this boat.....looks perfect for 2/3 people. Thanks for your channel.
Hey Richard, thanks for watching and for taking the time to comment. It is perfect for 2 to 3 people and more for a day trip. Perfect for a couple when overnigthing or weekender.
Feel free to message again if you get close to buying one and have some questions. Cheers!
Thanks.....I certainly will ask a few questions. Looks like you are really enjoying the boat.@@ChasingSunsets
Nice! Please put you lanyard on though
Haha, brilliant at the end, you guys getting back on the boat. New Subscriber UK here. I LOVE THE BOAT.
Lol thanks Phil, sometimes, it's the little things that make us laugh and getting on the boat is always one of them.
Thanks for watching and subscribing, we will have new videos this winter as I took lots of footage this summer.
Hi, nice video! We have our 695 here in New Zealand and love it. Have added a few creature comforts and upgrades over time. Great boat for a couple to use as a camper van on the water. Cheers
Hey thanks Oliver, you are right, it is like a Camper Van on water. Curious to know what kind of things you added for comfort.
@@ChasingSunsets
Firstly upgraded the motor to a Honda BF225, installed diesel air heater, fitted the trim tabs with an automatic attitude control system, saltwater wash down pump for cleaning up after fishing, sliding bait station behind the cockpit bench, electric toilet - just little things… 😊
Those are all sweet upgrades...the diesel heater and trim tabs are definitely on my to do list in the near future.
@@ChasingSunsets yest the heater makes it sooo much nicer on a cool night. we have a small tank in the cockpit lazarette and the heater is mounted in the space under the fridge. Hot air ducted to the area under the cabin table. we put the air intake in the aft corner above the backrest. the temperature is controlled with a digital thermostat. such a heater is super efficient on diesel. highly recommended.
Thanks, can't wait to set one up for shoulder seasons.
Merci pour les videos.
Real life reviews.
Before deciding on MF 695, what other boats did you consider?
I'm looking at Antares 7 or 8 Beneteau, Cutwater 24 Coupe and the MF 695.
Salut René et merci. To give you a quick background, we owned two sailboats back to back and then decided to buy a small center console as a quick way to get to our secluded spots for kitesurfing. We quickly found that we were missing the cabin of the sailboats and fell upon the Merry Fisher that our local dealer had in inventory. I briefly looked at others such as the Antares but thought they looked verry much the same or even a bit less refined. Also, since our dealer had the 695, we were able to take it for a sea trial and it sealed the deal for us.
I will try to make a review of what to expext as a new owner with things like wster slapping when at anchor and a fairly noisy/rough ride when in rough water if you go too fast.
But all and all, we love it.
I am on on Instagram if you whish to text multipple chat questions. chassingsunsets71
Merci, Yvan.
Looking to buy a day boat this year, may end up with one of these :)
We really love ours.
J attends la mienne de vidéo en français avec impatience 😜
Tu en aurra spécialement pour toi Florent. 😀
Cool
Thanks for watching 👊
Love it. I am looking at buying one soon, but maybe you can help with a towing question. My 23 bmw x5 xdrive 40i has a towing capacity of 7200 lbs / 3265 kg. Do you think the BMW be able to tow a 695 merry fisher ?
No problem at all with the X5. I towed it with the Mercedes GLE, which is the equivalent to the X5 barely felt it. Feel free to follow me on Instagram @yvanlaviolette if you have more questions.
gíd for yú
Hello there, thank you for sharing! Could you please let me know if it is possible for 2 adults to seat together comfortably, one next to each other, on the bench at the port side behind the copilot seat inside the wheelhouse?
Hi Vassilis, my wife and can fit on the front seat fairly comfortable (shoulder to shoulder) when facing the dinning table. I would say that it would be a bit tight when facing the bow since there is not that much space between you and the front grab rail, making it a bit more confined. Hope this helps a bit :-)
Thanks for watching our video 👊
this might be a dumb question but once youve beached the boat @8:13 how do you relaunch it ?
Hey Martin, all questions are good my friend. This spot is great, water goes to approximately 6 or 7 feet deep at the stern.
Thanks for watching and let me know if you have other questions.
Merci pour cette belle vidéo. Une petite question: Ça vaut combien un Merry Fisher 695?
Merci Pierre, nous avons bien du plaisirs avec ce petit bateau et TH-cam nous permet de créer ces beaux souvenirs. Au Canada, ce bateau vos environt 129k plus tax(neuf) dépendant des options. Cela est approx car beaucoup a changer depuis la pandémi, alors je ne suis vraime t pas certain du prix courrant si vous en commandé un.
what is the exact size of the berth that are in the bow of the boat?
Good question, I will have to look it up as I have been asked this before.
How fast does the boat go with 150 Hp….km/hr?
We just bought one 2021 model
Hey David, she goes about 53kmh.
Nice. Im looking at a 22 with a 150 merc.
Let me know if you have any questions Dam. Always happy help.
@@ChasingSunsets what's towing weight of yours ?
I am guessing around 5000lbs but too sure.
I so want to beach my 695 like you did - any tips?
We have a few spots that water goes deep right from the beach so the nose is on the beach but the engine has plenty of water. We find these spots just inside the inlets from the Ocean to the rivers. Or the odd spots that we marked while walking on the beach and found that the water goes to 3 or 4 feet deep right away.
We also started to anchor with the stern towards the beach (but not on the beach off cours) with an achor at the bow and one at the stern, giving us better access. (In about 2 to 3 feet of water) Just make sure tides are going up and not down.

Boat dont have a shower,its so bad😔
The bigger ones do. Marina's have showers as well or you can always use the stern wash down shower if in a remote area.
How much dollars USD
They are about 90,000 USD and normally comes with a Yamaha 150hp.
Thanks
Real cool info. I love your boat. The cabin is awesome. Nice Video , looking forward to see you guys this summer on the Rexton.
Thanks Dan (and Sandra), we love it and seems to be only the beginning of something bigger. The cabin is really awesome :-)
See you at the dunes.
