I have no idea why I love watching these two make these videos. It's more than just the subject matter. It's like spending time with friends going shopping. They have hit the right 'note' in presentation. The thing is, and the industry knows this, it's pretty hard to find a couple that you want as friends. And these two, well, they radiate that they'd be good friends to shop with.
Ooow thank you so much! That is exactly how we feel about our YT family, we love connecting with you all. That is why we continue to do the Live Chats during the Premieres🙏🏻💙🤩
100 percent correct. I'm not even a boat kind of guy unless I won a big lottery and could buy a 65 Bering. But it's their presentation and they both are very likeable. And they give off just a down to earth fun vibe.
Like what your doing. Hostess is great. Host is not. Less talk. More show. You don't need to have constant conversation. Your host is OFTEN wrong about what he is saying and that makes him come off as an idiot. His accent doesn't help. Find a new host. Keep the good. Get a drone and incorporate some flyover shots.
i love the affordable stuff. you guys should really focus on this. with the coming recession there should be many more compelling examples for you to review. i could really see my self picking one of these up at a discount maybe 100k 😉
I always love seeing these older yachts that have been maintained so well. Lots of love and respect owners show for these old gals. Thanks for sharing 😊
The Tolly 44 CPMY is featured as a live aboard in another TH-cam site called Searching for C-Shells if you want to see what live aboard life on it is like. We have a 1986 Tolly 44 in the Pacific Northwest and absolutely love it. Tolly's were built in Kelso, Washington and are ideal for cruising the inland waters of the Northwest.
This is the perfect liveaboard for those on a budget or first timers who aren't quite sure whether they want to commit to a life on the water. One of the nicest older yachts I've seen to date. 👍✌
I watch you both daily and really enjoy your tours. It takes me back to a young 20 year old that I was, purchasing a 28 ft sloop that I lived aboard in Wilmington for the next 4 years. The best of my life. I'm 55 now. No boat. If the price of these boats isn't a deterrent , than finding a live aboard slip is. I wish you would discuss this . Finding a live aboard slip for all these yachts has got to be a real challenge. I waited 7 months for mine in '92.
It’s amazing how much these “pocket yachts” have come forward in the last 30 years. This is an exceptional boat for its age and shows the care and attention it has been given. Most importantly, it shows how the amenities have evolved over time while still retaining their overall utility and safety.
Great videos. I grew up on Lake Michigan and saw many of these motor yachts in my hometown of Sheboygan Wisconsin. I'm glad my friend from Sarasota suggested this channel. Thanks for all the content really brings back great memories of life upon the water.
For a boat nearly 30 years old, it’s in pretty good shape. I love all the roller doors for the storage areas, etc. Classic! And, of course, Rico and Victoria make the tour worthwhile!
Considering this yacht is close to 30 years old, it looks remarkable pristine. I’ve probably aged more in the last years than she did 😜. Thanks as always Victoria and Rico 💙
For your all's information; a BOW PULPUIT is usually found on a motor yacht and facilitates an anchor and windlass/chain for anchoring, which is what this "Titanic spot" is. A BOW SPRIT is usually found on a sail boat and is used for tethering a forward sail to. I had a Sea Ray that had a Bow Pulpit and even knowing that it was dangerous, I LOVED riding there while someone else was piloting her, and dangling my feet over the side...GREAT PLACE to SIT!! I enjoy your videos also, but now I am landlocked and can't easily get to water on the weekends! Gas engines are about petered out and ready for re-building at between 4-6 thousand hours and diesels generally are dependable up to 10-13 thousand hours; hence the difference in price. Think of the speeds they are generally run? Gas: 3-4 thousand RPM, diesel to 1.2 to 2.5 thousand RPM. That's why a boat this size and up generally has diesels and smaller ones gave gas. Torq is what matters on a boat, because, unlike a car, it never coasts, cars do. a boat is always "going uphill". And diesels develop more TORQ per square inch and are generally built for re-building. A 1993 is NOT considered all that old for a boat, boats are not cars! Think of how much BOATS usually just sit at the dock, verses a car!!!! New boats are less practical than older one's too!
That one is a classic, the "Bow Pulpit" was a trademark of a lot of premier yachts of the 80's and 90's. On the East Coast you rarely would see a 1st class yacht that didn't have this distinguishing accoutrement, especially Broward and Hatteras yachts.
We just bought a 1981 48' Tolly, they really are an amazing boat. Specifically built for the west coast they are an Ed Monk Design and can handle just about any sea condition. As you guys discovered the amount of storage on these boats is outstanding, who ever buys the boat you just reviewed will be very happy with her. Great review by the way, Keep it up!
They also great boats for the great lakes, and I bought a 26ft Tolly here 10 yrs ago and sold it for a hefty profit, the motor ran smooth , I sold foot for health reasons, but dreamed for a 37ft Tolly or a 44ft, There was a guy who worked at the Tolly Plant before bayliner bought them out who knew any suppliers for various parts on the boat and upgraded parts even windows, he lived in Washington state, I found him on the Tolly craft forum, If he is still alive he can help you with his wealth of knowledge, you will love your Tolly much as I did !! Happy Boating !
We purchased 1990 44 cpmy Tollycraft three years ago after watching C-shells videos. Powered by Detroit Diesels 6v53’s. Since purchasing our boat down here in Florida we now know of 5 others that were able to find these (Unicorns) as some call then on the east coast of the U.S. The build quality of Tollycrafts are second to none. If you want to see and learn more about Tollycrafts I would invite you to check out Searching for C-Shells. Cindy and Sheldon do a fantastic series showing how life can be on a Tollycraft.
Had the pleasure of meeting Tolley Tolleson at the AGC building on Lake Union in Seattle. My wife and I sat with him and his poodle and had him just tell us about his life, he mentioned he would see tollycraft coming into Marina used to overlook and would do a hand drawing and bring it to the owner of the boat at the Marina!
@@NautiStyles You can refit just about anything and spend as much money as possible. Thank you so much for these weekly incredible videos, I really love your content and I love the playfulness between you.
Beautiful Yacht older ones ike this has proven itself to be a well maintained and sturday vessel.This is perfect as a liveaboard for a couple or even a small family. it would crusie well and in rough weather i ma sure. You also show the best and this is excellent and shows your knowledge very well. thank you for sharing and keep safe.

Your are LIKE the New MIAMI VICE! --- Meaning, I LOVE and am addicted to YOUR SERIES!!! You all feel like friends. Almost like you're making a custom video just for my family. After watching your series I am taking steps to retire on the sea! I do put on the super yacht videos only in the back ground on my big screen for morning coffee. But most of those videos are dreaming fun. Nothing more. However, I wait for your new releases, make dinner, quite the house, and watch. This affordable yacht series is so perfect for the masses. The everyday folks like me. Thank you. What would be helpful - A video on the kinds of loan options and the financing elements of living on the sea. You already released a wonderful video on your own annual breakdown. I was thinking more like maybe creating your version of a BUYing walkthough (Survey)? What questions to ask? What would you almost always consider replacing when buying an affordable yacht. How to pick a yacht manager? (Im not as mechanical as Rico. So I would learn as I go, but would need to hire someone to visit once a month to inspect my yacht and teach me things as a new captain and teach me how to take care of the electrical, plumbing etc... Last question, I keep hearing about boating superstitions! I would be fun if you all got us caught up on them!
When I worked the Gulf on a U.S. Customs 55' Hattie, the area you drew a blank on was called the "bow pulpit". Just wanted to add~ when I view other yacht vids, they always disappoint, so I recommend that if they want to sell their vessel, they need to get you guys to do your thorough walk through.
Wow the boat was full of surprises! It has a great lay out and offers great spaces. Hard to believe that modern boats dont offer a lot of what this boat does. Its hard to believe you get all this in a 44ft boat. I wonder why current boat builders dont look at what worked in the past and try to improve on it rather than making new boats with hard access to engines and such. The price is very good for a liveaboard. A great buy for someone!
i'm not a boater, but i was on a small piece of the loop. i helped a family friend bring their sailboat from the saint lawrence seaway into buffalo harbor, across the erie canal. unfortunately it had to be mast down the whole way, but it was a blast going through all the locks. and we met a lot of really nice boaters along the way. there seems to be a strong fraternal bond between all boat folks, and they've all got a million stories.
Cockpit would be such a great home office. Also, I know the owner of Fireboy and he is an awesome, very dedicated guy with 35 years of sailing behind him who's company makes great fire extinguishers and carbon monoxide detectors which are so critical on a boat.
It’s funny I’m not sure what I like better, the super yachts or the affordable live aboards. One is a dream and the other is a very possible buy. I love them all, you two aren’t so bad either. Thanks for the videos.
I believe the “Titanic spot” is called the Pulpit? Anyone that’s a fan of the movie Jaws knows that! Love the layout of this boat. Great size and price! Another great video!
Thanks Rico and Victoria for yet another fun and interesting tour..! You sure know how to make just about any old boat interesting. Love the dinette and the water maker in this one. As far as I can understand, this boat has not been changed much since it was new..; It's just well maintained. Hence, it gives an interesting glimpse into the life and times when it was built in 1993. A great budget option - and a bit of a blank canvas for the right person. I would definitely add lots of solar panels, LifePo4 batteries, etc.
I really like this boat! It has charm with more interior wood. The exterior walkways are wide with great railings; newer boats have thin walkways around the boat, not user friendly. This boat has a dinette, yeah, alot of newer boats don't! Older boats have more room since the LOA does not include the molded swim platforms, a 44 foot boat is really a 44! You get more with an older boat for a lot less money! Great showing! I like you are finally wearing boat shoes, save your toes lol!! Great job!!
Hi Nauti Duo, Remembering back to my Navy Days and Boot camp I think your Titanic Moment was on the Prow of the ship. I think there are other names as well. On a sailing craft it would the Bow Sprit. I do not know if that name would translate to a Motor Vessel. I love all your vessels but the affordable series really has my interest.
Such a lovely couple your like the perfect neighbors or favorite teachers . I love how much fun you make these tours . God bless both of you , AMEN ! 😇😇🥇🥇🥇🇺🇸🏁💯
When I was a child back in the early ‘70’s my grandparents had a boat that was, if memory serves me, in the mid 30 foot range and there are a few things about this boat that remind me of that one. The guest cabin (the only cabin on theirs) was very similar as was the louvered doors and the wood trim, the helm, and many other features. This might explain part of my interest in your channel, the other being your friendly personalities! Thanks again for another great tour, I can’t wait to see what you come up with in Cannes! That ought to be amazing!
As a new subscriber / viewer I love noticing little funny things from your older videos compared to you newer ones. For example the shower was kinda smaller but you said it was pretty big and then on your newer boat videos the showers are very huge and you say it's just a 1 and half person shower. Just fun to see how things change and evolve over time.
Wow, you just reviewed a boat like ours! Nice job guys! 👍 We may be biased but this is a great cruising boat at a great price point. She has taken us many places in safety and comfort. Find a Tollycraft 61 to tour, a very impressive boat.
@@MrMediterrano No, this boat is a great coastal or Caribbean island hopping boat. You would need a full displacement, stabilized, trawler type motor vessel to accomplish that goal.
@@SearchingforCShels Actually this is exactly what I would like to do but as I am in Europe, the boat would need to be brought over to here, that’s why I asked.
LOL. I think that the fact that both of you have English as a Second Language ADDS to both the charm and the humor of your presentations and outtakes ;) I do recall catching it on another video and not mentioning (don't recall how long ago that one was made), but it's "cute"-- as V. or my little sister would say- that you say "sleeper sofer" instead of sleeper sofa. ;)
Truly awesome and so well laid out. If you hadn't told us I would not believe this vessel is 28 years old. She appears to have been very well taken care of and at 2200 and 2400 respectively her engines if they've been maintained properly have a good bit of life left in them. Barring a survey and sea trail I'd say she's ready to go and well worth the money. It's a dang shame that I can't afford to snag her right now as this is pretty much exactly the size, level and layout I'm looking for for myself, my wife and our special needs son. It would be fairly easy for him to move around in and on and has plenty of room for just the 3 of us. I wonder if 500nm is the limit of it's range barring Jerry Cans or if it's possible to run on a single engine or both with low revs at 4 to 6 knots or so and really extend her range. Many people don't realize the benefits of a power boat being able to maintain a constant speed over ground of around that 5 knot range and just how much ground/sea you can cover that way. 120nm in a 24 hour period day over day is nothing to sneeze at and is better than a lot of cruisers are able to maintain. Does that dingy come with it as well? I truly hope in a year or so I'll be able to find a vessel like this that looks like most of it's life has been spent as only a weekender or for short vacations. Thanks for sharing her with us and finding such an affordable vessel that has been so well maintained and large enough to actually live on and capable of doing some island hoping or coastal cruising...
Great to see affordable cruisers, we all dream those mega yachts but the reality is most of us buy sub 50 footers. Thanks for another amazing walkthrough keep them coming and love the out takes.
thanks for sharing this unusual yacht Rico & Victoria ... some of these older tubs have a lot of interesting features that newer boats don't have i find the newer boats a bit bland they all have a similar layout , you have a decent size lounge, a more than ample lunch/ dinette, loads of storage a really comfortable master that nice, bright and airy with all the windows a lot of newer boats the master has very little in the way of natural lighting ... it would be a great live aboard/cruiser .... sorry i missed the premier of the video but i needed a bit of a Siesta
Hiya Vico, again. It's good to see you back in hoops, nearly stripes, and the hat is wonderful as is the sea horse jewellery! It showed that you are experienced liveaboards, from comments about the, in this case, excellent storage to the plethora of cross breezes everywhere, you are always looking and on this boat finding both. Considering how old this boat is, she has a lot of things worth commenting on, the huge, in comparison with contemporary boats, windows, plus the number of them. The extra escape ports forward in the master and en-suite, a window shoe-horned in where you just would not envisage one, everywhere. Yes, the navigation equipment, that radar... is very much of the time of the boats making, but even old they still work, I just wish I worked that well! Or as well as you two do... Yet another wonderful walkthrough of a very tidy potential purchase. Thank you both for a fantastic tour of a potential home on the water. Were all the cupboard doors full louvre doors, or just for show? In other words, did they allow airflow helping to prevent that musty smell? Stay safe...Steve xx...
I started becoming interested in yachts at about the time this was built. Good sturdy boat. Update a couple things and weigh anchor. And I still want to know what loop is about. 🙃🤷♀️❤️👍
Thank you again Victoria & Rico. You two always do a nice presentation. This is just about the size of boat (44') that I would like. Maybe a little smaller since I don't have a partner to help me. But I always enjoy your videos.
Just love the interaction beween you guys! Always makes for the most entertaining vlog plus you're patter is informative! Now looking forward to the $500,000 live aboards!!
I love this boat. Parents had a 1976 26' Tolly. This is an entirely higher level. Sorry it sold. I convinced my wife to go see it last summer, but it was a bit too late.
Thanks guys! This looks like a really nice boat for cruising the San Juan islands, Sea of Cortez, or great loop. Good interior space, shoal draft, and she will go if you need to get there in a hurry and don't mind the price of diesel. Cheers!
New to the channel, really enjoy watching the light banter between you two. You obviously have a true passion for what you do. Have a serious question for Rico. On this mid access engine room under the steps how would you replace larger components if necessary?
Great video. I wonder about the risks of buying an older boat. I’ve read that you typically cannot insure a boat that is over 20 years old, and that many marinas require insurance. Also, if the boat sinks or has a similar mishap you could be liable for costs that may even exceed the purchase price. Am I just too negative?
That’s absolutely not true, you will have a hard time financing a boat older then 15 years old, but insurance is not going to be in issue, you can always get insurance
Victoria & Rico, I look forward to your weekly videos. What a great job you folks do. How do you find such great boats? Do the owners reach out or the brokers? I'm new in the nautical business and have really enjoyed it. You guys are a great inspiration. Thank you. Cornell
Thank you so much, Sometimes the brokers reach out and we decide if we want to film it or we find the boat we want to film most of the time and reach out to them
Just discovered you. As to your question I think what you were standing on could best be best described as a modified "bowsprit" for a power boat. Unless power boats have a special term for it. On a sailboat it is a bowsprit with forestays and maybe a figurehead.
Tollycraft built great boats, in Kelso Washington. I was one of their parts contractors. I really liked the people there. That's more than that boat cost new.
This is my favorite boat so far because it doesn’t seem tiny and I can afford it. Lol great tour. If I was going to live aboard this, I will take that forward room and turn it into an office. Gut it as much as I could.
If you told me the yacht was from the early 2000s I'd believe you. It's been well maintained and sure it could use some updating but the bones are good and you can take your time changing things up.
I just got home from vacation in Indiana and caught the video late. Very nice yacht and video kids. Sorry I missed last week. I will have to go back and watch it. Missed you kids.
Just left the festival, going to bed 😝🙈 see you all at 9am bright and early 🤦♀️🤩

Here in the UK its called a Pulpit as well.
The bow extension holding the anchor, is called a pulpit. Enjoy the variety of boats y’all review.
BINGO!
@@NautiStyles - Actually, it’s called the bowsprit (bow rhyming with cow).
@@terryv it all depends on where you are from. Anchor Pulpit, Anchor Bow Extention, Bow Spirt, are all acceptable and known by most mariners.
@@kari53 - Front, back, left and right are all recognized descriptors, too. But mariners use forward/bow, aft/stern, port and starboard.
That would be on a sailboat, on a MY it’s called a bow pulpit 🤷♀️
It is remarkable and would be a great option. Being comfortable doing the loop is a definite plus as well.
This boat is incredibly well laid out, in great condition, I can’t believe the price!
It's because of the age of the engines. The engines drive the price of a boat.

Wow the boat was full of surprises! It has a great lay out and offers great spaces. Hard to believe that modern boats dont offer a lot of what this boat does. Its hard to believe you get all this in a 44ft boat. I wonder why current boat builders dont look at what worked in the past and try to improve on it rather than making new boats with hard access to engines and such. The price is very good for a liveaboard. A great buy for someone!
Our pleasure!
i'm not a boater, but i was on a small piece of the loop. i helped a family friend bring their sailboat from the saint lawrence seaway into buffalo harbor, across the erie canal. unfortunately it had to be mast down the whole way, but it was a blast going through all the locks. and we met a lot of really nice boaters along the way. there seems to be a strong fraternal bond between all boat folks, and they've all got a million stories.
I never knew about the loop. I learned something new from watching your videos thank you. You and Rico are very entertaining.
Thank you, glad to hear it was helpful 👌🏻
Cockpit would be such a great home office. Also, I know the owner of Fireboy and he is an awesome, very dedicated guy with 35 years of sailing behind him who's company makes great fire extinguishers and carbon monoxide detectors which are so critical on a boat.
Looks like a great choice for a live aboard. Great price and layout and an amazing amount of space for a 44 footer. Excellent tour, Victoria and Rico!
We agree! 💙💙
Sure was nice too see a good old boat !! That has lots of life left in her 👍
Every time I watch your channel I want to sell my house immediately and buy a live aboard boat. Excellent content!
It’s funny I’m not sure what I like better, the super yachts or the affordable live aboards. One is a dream and the other is a very possible buy. I love them all, you two aren’t so bad either. Thanks for the videos.
haha, tough choice 😝 thank you for watching
Looking forward to seeing other 40 - 60' yachts
More coming up!
I love the affordable yacht videos! I been looking for something under 200k to make a main home out of. Single person, no kids. Lots of space!
I believe the “Titanic spot” is called the Pulpit? Anyone that’s a fan of the movie Jaws knows that!
Love the layout of this boat. Great size and price!
Another great video!
It is for harpooning whales, to harvest whale oil
Bowstring
....
Bowsprit......dam auto correct.....
Thanks Rico and Victoria for yet another fun and interesting tour..!
You sure know how to make just about any old boat interesting. Love the dinette and the water maker in this one.
As far as I can understand, this boat has not been changed much since it was new..; It's just well maintained.
Hence, it gives an interesting glimpse into the life and times when it was built in 1993.
A great budget option - and a bit of a blank canvas for the right person.
I would definitely add lots of solar panels, LifePo4 batteries, etc.
This is a great series !!! I never knew you could get something this nice at an affordable price ! Great tour as usual ,👍
Thanks for watching!
Love those big windows. So bright and airy. It’s a lot of boat for the money.
I really like this boat! It has charm with more interior wood. The exterior walkways are wide with great railings; newer boats have thin walkways around the boat, not user friendly. This boat has a dinette, yeah, alot of newer boats don't! Older boats have more room since the LOA does not include the molded swim platforms, a 44 foot boat is really a 44! You get more with an older boat for a lot less money! Great showing! I like you are finally wearing boat shoes, save your toes lol!! Great job!!
Hi Nauti Duo, Remembering back to my Navy Days and Boot camp I think your Titanic Moment was on the Prow of the ship. I think there are other names as well. On a sailing craft it would the Bow Sprit. I do not know if that name would translate to a Motor Vessel. I love all your vessels but the affordable series really has my interest.
Hi folks. Life took over and I missed watching you, but I'm back now. The last time I viewed you were contemplating upgrading your yacht.
Welcome back! Still working on that, soon very soon 🙈😝
Hello Victoria and Rico. Looking absolutely forward to this Yacht tour you are amazing with Rico as always 🇨🇦👍🇨🇦
Thank you so much Roland 🙏🏻💙
Such a lovely couple your like the perfect neighbors or favorite teachers . I love how much fun you make these tours . God bless both of you , AMEN ! 😇😇🥇🥇🥇🇺🇸🏁💯
Fantastic show, I really enjoyed it.
This vessel has been extremely well maintained and it looks really good for its age.
Thanks guy's...
Agreed
When I was a child back in the early ‘70’s my grandparents had a boat that was, if memory serves me, in the mid 30 foot range and there are a few things about this boat that remind me of that one. The guest cabin (the only cabin on theirs) was very similar as was the louvered doors and the wood trim, the helm, and many other features. This might explain part of my interest in your channel, the other being your friendly personalities!
Thanks again for another great tour, I can’t wait to see what you come up with in Cannes! That ought to be amazing!
Beats a condo and it's mobile. Loving it! Props 4 U Vic n Rico. Thanks as always! 🙏💥🙏
Glad you like it!
As a new subscriber / viewer I love noticing little funny things from your older videos compared to you newer ones. For example the shower was kinda smaller but you said it was pretty big and then on your newer boat videos the showers are very huge and you say it's just a 1 and half person shower. Just fun to see how things change and evolve over time.
Tollycraft boats are very well made, and this one seems as though it's been very well maintained, as well.
Good morning Victoria &Rico, looking forward to your beautiful Yacht tour today. ⚓🛥😘🇺🇲🇩🇪
See you soon!
Wow, you just reviewed a boat like ours! Nice job guys! 👍 We may be biased but this is a great cruising boat at a great price point. She has taken us many places in safety and comfort. Find a Tollycraft 61 to tour, a very impressive boat.
👌🏻 Nice! Great boats
I was just going to say that looks like the same model boat you have.
Can this boat cross the Atlantic?
@@MrMediterrano No, this boat is a great coastal or Caribbean island hopping boat. You would need a full displacement, stabilized, trawler type motor vessel to accomplish that goal.
@@SearchingforCShels Actually this is exactly what I would like to do but as I am in Europe, the boat would need to be brought over to here, that’s why I asked.
LOL. I think that the fact that both of you have English as a Second Language ADDS to both the charm and the humor of your presentations and outtakes ;)
I do recall catching it on another video and not mentioning (don't recall how long ago that one was made), but it's "cute"-- as V. or my little sister would say- that you say "sleeper sofer" instead of sleeper sofa. ;)
I seriously love this Affordable series! Keep up the great work!
Thank you! Will do!
The protrusion on the bow is the bow pulpit. (I'm a retired pastor but hard to forget the pulpit 😘).
Great job folks!
Bingo!!
Truly awesome and so well laid out. If you hadn't told us I would not believe this vessel is 28 years old. She appears to have been very well taken care of and at 2200 and 2400 respectively her engines if they've been maintained properly have a good bit of life left in them. Barring a survey and sea trail I'd say she's ready to go and well worth the money. It's a dang shame that I can't afford to snag her right now as this is pretty much exactly the size, level and layout I'm looking for for myself, my wife and our special needs son. It would be fairly easy for him to move around in and on and has plenty of room for just the 3 of us. I wonder if 500nm is the limit of it's range barring Jerry Cans or if it's possible to run on a single engine or both with low revs at 4 to 6 knots or so and really extend her range. Many people don't realize the benefits of a power boat being able to maintain a constant speed over ground of around that 5 knot range and just how much ground/sea you can cover that way. 120nm in a 24 hour period day over day is nothing to sneeze at and is better than a lot of cruisers are able to maintain. Does that dingy come with it as well? I truly hope in a year or so I'll be able to find a vessel like this that looks like most of it's life has been spent as only a weekender or for short vacations.
Thanks for sharing her with us and finding such an affordable vessel that has been so well maintained and large enough to actually live on and capable of doing some island hoping or coastal cruising...
Yes, for sure! And the dinghy come with it
Great to see affordable cruisers, we all dream those mega yachts but the reality is most of us buy sub 50 footers.
Thanks for another amazing walkthrough keep them coming and love the out takes.
You are very welcome 👌🏻
thanks for sharing this unusual yacht Rico & Victoria ... some of these older tubs have a lot of interesting features that newer boats don't have i find the newer boats a bit bland they all have a similar layout , you have a decent size lounge, a more than ample lunch/ dinette, loads of storage a really comfortable master that nice, bright and airy with all the windows a lot of newer boats the master has very little in the way of natural lighting ... it would be a great live aboard/cruiser .... sorry i missed the premier of the video but i needed a bit of a Siesta
No worries, thanks for watching. Siesta’s are important 😝🙌🏻
Hiya Vico, again. It's good to see you back in hoops, nearly stripes, and the hat is wonderful as is the sea horse jewellery! It showed that you are experienced liveaboards, from comments about the, in this case, excellent storage to the plethora of cross breezes everywhere, you are always looking and on this boat finding both. Considering how old this boat is, she has a lot of things worth commenting on, the huge, in comparison with contemporary boats, windows, plus the number of them. The extra escape ports forward in the master and en-suite, a window shoe-horned in where you just would not envisage one, everywhere. Yes, the navigation equipment, that radar... is very much of the time of the boats making, but even old they still work, I just wish I worked that well! Or as well as you two do... Yet another wonderful walkthrough of a very tidy potential purchase.
Thank you both for a fantastic tour of a potential home on the water. Were all the cupboard doors full louvre doors, or just for show? In other words, did they allow airflow helping to prevent that musty smell?
Stay safe...Steve xx...
Hi Stephen, so true! Glad you enjoyed the tour. Yes, proper door great for Venting 🙌🏻
@@NautiStyles thank you...Steve
Awesome video love watching you and Rico you two do an amazing job.
Yay! Thank you!
Nice older boat, Great fun tour guys. Plenty of engine power in those big Cats. Thanks.
Another great video! Seems like you guys have been doing a great job of mixing in the affordable liveaboards with the cool high end stuff.
Thank you, have been working on that 🙏🏻💙
what was the maximum range of this yaught
I like that you guys also present these well-maintained affordable vessels as well. Very cool.
Our pleasure
I started becoming interested in yachts at about the time this was built. Good sturdy boat. Update a couple things and weigh anchor. And I still want to know what loop is about. 🙃🤷♀️❤️👍
Google The Great Loop
This is a short,complete 'get to know'about The Loop.Less than 4 mins.
Thank you again Victoria & Rico. You two always do a nice presentation. This is just about the size of boat (44') that I would like. Maybe a little smaller since I don't have a partner to help me. But I always enjoy your videos.
Just love the interaction beween you guys! Always makes for the most entertaining vlog plus you're patter is informative! Now looking forward to the $500,000 live aboards!!
Awesome! Thank you!
What a lovely yacht for the age of it. Kudos to the owners for keeping it well!
I keep hoping to see a can of Dinty Moore in the cupboards.
🙈😝😂
My dogs won't even eat that...seriously. And they're down to dry kibble by the end of the day.
Really like this boat, i like the traditional/nostalgical look, its also looks really open and spacious. Real classy.
There is always a way to fulfill your dreams.
Yes, definitely
I love this boat. Parents had a 1976 26' Tolly. This is an entirely higher level. Sorry it sold. I convinced my wife to go see it last summer, but it was a bit too late.
I love the running joke measuring showers by the number of people it can hold comfortably. :^D
When your wife looks like that, you're not gonna shower on your own haha.
🤣🤣😝
🙈🙈
Great video guys, it’s called the pulpit, the area of the bow that overhangs the sea - a great spot for dolphin watching.
Spot on!! 🙌🏻💙
Great video 👍 Do more affordable boats/yacht please, this is great 😀
You got it
Nice layout. For an older boat, it looks very well looked after.
I think so too!
That's a pretty nice design for 1993. I hope the Outtakes are included. ;)
😝🤣👌🏻 always
Thanks guys! This looks like a really nice boat for cruising the San Juan islands, Sea of Cortez, or great loop. Good interior space, shoal draft, and she will go if you need to get there in a hurry and don't mind the price of diesel.
Cheers!
New to the channel, really enjoy watching the light banter between you two. You obviously have a true passion for what you do. Have a serious question for Rico. On this mid access engine room under the steps how would you replace larger components if necessary?
Love your hat.U2 are so fun to watch.it totally relaxes me.Really sets a great vibe
Great video. I wonder about the risks of buying an older boat. I’ve read that you typically cannot insure a boat that is over 20 years old, and that many marinas require insurance. Also, if the boat sinks or has a similar mishap you could be liable for costs that may even exceed the purchase price. Am I just too negative?
That’s absolutely not true, you will have a hard time financing a boat older then 15 years old, but insurance is not going to be in issue, you can always get insurance
Thanks, that’s a big relief!
For insurance; the most important thing you will need is a recent, professional marine survey.
We made one and installed it on our sailboat when I lived in Miami as a child. It is a pulpit.
Victoria & Rico, I look forward to your weekly videos. What a great job you folks do. How do you find such great boats? Do the owners reach out or the brokers? I'm new in the nautical business and have really enjoyed it. You guys are a great inspiration. Thank you. Cornell
Thank you so much, Sometimes the brokers reach out and we decide if we want to film it or we find the boat we want to film most of the time and reach out to them
Just discovered you. As to your question I think what you were standing on could best be best described as a modified "bowsprit" for a power boat. Unless power boats have a special term for it. On a sailboat it is a bowsprit with forestays and maybe a figurehead.
Tollycraft built great boats, in Kelso Washington. I was one of their parts contractors. I really liked the people there. That's more than that boat cost new.
Very doable price for me but the helm station needs to be more forward love your videos you guys
very simply put together, effective and pleasant boat .... great price for this much boat.
This is my favorite boat so far because it doesn’t seem tiny and I can afford it. Lol great tour. If I was going to live aboard this, I will take that forward room and turn it into an office. Gut it as much as I could.
I always enjoy your videos! You guys are so much fun to watch and you provide great information in every video!
They say “Totally “ so much that I thought we were really back in 1993 ! I Totally Did !
Love the low cost possible live abroad ones you do. I’d love to see more power cats in that range.
If you told me the yacht was from the early 2000s I'd believe you. It's been well maintained and sure it could use some updating but the bones are good and you can take your time changing things up.
You know what it’s called, the pulpit. I love every episode.
So nice to watch you both.. ohh PULPIT is the word you wanted. Titanic Spot.. aka PULPIT
The bowsprit type appendage on the Bow Deck is called the Bow Pulpit on a Powerboat.
I'm currently looking at buying a 40' Tolly for living aboard. Nice to see the 44', it's a beautiful boat indeed!
Go for it!
@@NautiStyles I'm tempted to especially with current events! Thanks for all the great videos guys, it's very helpful for first time buyers like me!
A beauty, must have sold already. Can always watch and dream of these boats that I view. The two of you are fantastic. :-)
I just got home from vacation in Indiana and caught the video late. Very nice yacht and video kids. Sorry I missed last week. I will have to go back and watch it. Missed you kids.
Hi Alan, welcome back! Hope you had a great vacay
