So I'm an HVAC maintenance technician and I totally serviced this guys equipment I remember seeing this boat in his driveway. I recognized the name salt patrol in the title and sure enough that's the dude

[@live2boat]

That’s crazy James! Such a small world. Thanks for watching man

[@andyjim8325]

Pretty sure I saw you in neah bay last weekend! It was a one of a kind boat, loved it!

Great video! Lots of useful info. My wife and I recently bought an old friends 2005 27 ft North River . We are considering a re-power and really appreciate the review of the 225 Mercs. Couple of questions . I’m assuming that was 2mpg for both motors combined? And does the co-pilot seat swivel to face the table?

[@live2boat]

Congrats that should be a great boat for you guys. For the fuel economy on the Merc’s yes that was 2.0 mpg combined. Our boats can get up to 2.3 to 2.4 mpg. Crazy good economy. As for the copilot seat it all depends on what base is on them. Some spin and some don’t. I seem to recall that John has the swiveling bases on his air rides. The ones on my boat don’t swivel.

[@erikjensen7704]

Thanks, for the reply looks like it would be real handy to have that co-pilot seat swivel to the table

[@live2boat]

@@erikjensen7704 Yes for sure. You might just need a new swivel base

[@salmonkiller2545]

Didn’t this boat sink in the marina a few years ago?? Just curious how??

[@live2boat]

That was his last boat I believe, also a 27. There was biblical rain for a few days. Nobody really knows what exactly happened though. Really crappy deal!

Which flir model, and what bait tank is that in the middle of the deck?

[@live2boat]

The bait tank is made by Defiance Marine in Bremerton, Washington. I’ll ask John what FLIR model that is…

Excellent!
