Selling my boat and going home!

  • I have decided to sell my motor yacht "The Dark Side" and go back to a sailboat. I have already paid a deposit on a sailing catamaran! The Dark Side is a 1997 Hatteras 60' Cockpit Motor yacht. It was originally a Hatteras 52' motor yacht but the aft cockpit and swim deck were added on.

    Bobby, hey mate, never try going into sales, you’re way honest. You spent most of your time telling everyone the faults. Good luck with the sale and the new adventures, looking forward to them… 👍🏻🙏🏼😎

    When I was a teenager some 40 years ago my hobby was studying motor yachts via magazines and Hatteras was one of the dream brands. But on the pricey side. I like the compact, practical motor yacht designs. Looking forward to the ocean crossing adventures.

    Glad to hear you're getting rid of that boat especially for a fuel prices today. Get back the sailing brother you know that's where it's all at and you seem so much happier when you're sailing instead of running a power boat. Hope you're not off the TH-cam for a while I hope you keep posting whatever your endeavors might be love what you do been following you since you started have a great day peace to you and all your endeavors again.

    Когда я возвращалась из универа, на двери подъезда было объявление, написанное от руки: "Потеряла 100 рублей, кто найдёт - верните, пожалуйста, в квартиру 76, пенсия маленькая, хлеб не на что купить". В 76 квартире жила та старушка. Я достала из кошелька 100 рублей и поднялась на 5 этаж.
    Когда я отдала старушке деньги, она заплакала: "Ты уже двенадцатый человек, который принёс мне деньги. Спасибо." Я улыбнулась и уже подошла к лифту, когда бабушка сказала мне: "Доченька, сорви объявление с двери, его не я писала". Старушка стояла и плакала. Доброта и сочувствие людей дает мне надежду

  • @thereissomecoolstuff
    @thereissomecoolstuff 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    We go back and forth between power and sail. A catamaran would be great but marinas charge double moorage because you take 2 spots unless you get an end tie. Which are rare. If your cruising it's not a worry. $350k is big $$$. Goodluck.

    Those 2-stroke Detroit Diesels are crazy! Apparently they will still fully function UPSIDE DOWN!! The U.S. Navy apparently has a love affair with them because they've been buying them for over 100 years for the Fleet. They are very simple designs that are very robust. They will continue to function even if you somehow capsize your boat. Bonkers.

Use that money to pay the travel expenses of several fresh crew members who look great in 👙 bikinis to keep it fresh!!

Hope she sells quickly so you can get on with your world travel without stressing about selling her...

    I do not think you will have a real difficult time selling the boat as demand is exceeding supply for those with means to afford such things. I suspect the same issues are at play for your new Cat. That should open up long distance cruising to you and like the rest hope Stephanie will be part of the first crew.
