i loved how you edit the video together with the music " really relaxing", i hope one day i can be like you, owning a boat or a kayak at least.. great job marty... keep it up..
I love your channel because it shows you don't need to have all the technology and money in the world to be happy. You can be happy doing what you love in nature. Love your videos!
Just finished binge watching quick boat videos. My 1978 Chris Craft is snowed in right now. Did most of the same things you did to your boat. Took a few years on budget. But doing pretty good now. Like you,still lots more to do. You inspired me to keep on going. Thanks
Marty, I can only imagine the feeling of Freedom you must feel when out on Anchor. It has to be amazing! What an amazing dream come true this must be. Drink it up my friend and enjoy every moment!
We all knew that if we were patient throughout your Boat life transition that we would be taken on a awesome adventure with you...when you bought your boat I traded my motorcycle for one almost identical it is still sitting in the corner of the farm...can't wait to put my Kayak on the Bow and head out to one of Virginia's many uninhabited islands....a "Zoffinger Inspired Life"..... have a feeling that phrase will become synonymous with us "Zoffingerians" define- a person who enjoys the water, fishing, kayaking and boating in the manner made famous by Marty Zoffinger... tight lines
Marty, thought that was dinner ? Man..I must say it is my rainy day off in under paid over worked old dude..land locked in Hott Atlanta and I've binge watched your #1 boat update till now all today. You are Living my Dream..too late for me my friend, so be sure to realize just how good you have it. from a suicide survivor hitting retirement age..life goes by so fast. THANKS MARTY !!
Thank you for all your inspiration and knowledge Marty. Today was the first day I went out in the flats of St Pete and went kayak fishing for the first time! I knew exactly what to expect from watching your videos. Looking forward to my next adventure.
wish i had a friend like you. we need more people like you in this world. makes me envy what you have something i would like to learn. how to make decisions towards a more free life.
Zoffinger I have seen almost all of your videos from your very first kayak to now and I must say, you sir are living the dream my friend! Haters gonna hate but you just keep your head up, fish to your hearts content and keep the videos comin my friend!!! P.s I think it's rad you have sponsors! Why not? You've taught and reached so many people! Live long and prosper!
Great videos! You are a natural. You have a story telling voice. Your videos flow well. I think you got a future on the channel. I hope you get a chance to do the loop. Good Luck and smoothe paddling.
Running that generator, you need to get yourself a carbon monoxide detector for your boat. Play it safe. Enjoyed the trip, as always. You've a real creative touch with your angles and editing.
Jim M It really depends on where you keep your genny. There's nothing to worry about when you have it where he keeps his. If your generator is in your engine room then a monoxide detector is a good idea.
I had one already in the cabin to test for the exhaust coming from the two main CO pooters. A tester is a must. Even when on the swim platform, because you're not moving, the fumes can creep around the inside of the boat.
I have a very tough life with my career, everything is hectic all the time and all people (including myself) only focus on making the big buck. To be honest, its great to unwind and watch these videos. Maybe someday Ill have the courage to live like this.... though I do enjoy getting stoned after a long week and watching these.
It's great to see your journey! From watching you over 4 years ago before I bought my first kayak to where u r now is just awesome! Keep it up Marty! I have family in Wesley Chapel and some day I hope to see you down there. Opa!
Great video as always, but I think this one displays the fruit of your labor. Loved the kayak, I feel that you have been one of the inspirations to Pelican to keep improving. Can't wait for the next adventure and I think the other viewer that recommended a bridge for the dogs is dead on. My wife watched for the first time and loved the interaction of the dogs. Tight lines til the next endeavor.
Great video ! Loved watching the dogs run (they will need a fresh water rinse when you get back to land). Your camera work and editing in the 2 angles is looking down right professional. Keep enjoying life and can't wait for more videos !
Man you are really in a good place in life! I really envy you and your videos are about the best and most enjoyable thing I have seen on TH-cam! Thanks!
man, i thoroughly enjoy the new style of your recent videos. very relaxing and entertaining to watch. Also, congratulations on leaving your house to live on your boat. that must have taken a lot of courage.
Hey Zoffinger, get a 2x6 lumber or plywood and staple carpet to it, and make a Latch of some sort, so you can put on the back of the boat for the dogs to walk up and down from the bassbuster. (A bridge)
I have been enjoying your videos for years. You seem to be a gentle and practical man. Don't let the, I guess Trolls is the word, get you down. They appear to be poorly behaved teenagers (Even though they may be grown men)!
Ive been following you for over a year now. Your videos are so peaceful and serine!! It's made me change my lifetstyle completely and I have to say, I love it!!! I'll certainly keep watching!!!
@@jennajobasiaz5559 😂 the fact that you took that of all things from what I said is laughable. I hope your life gets better and you don’t have to spend your time scouring comments to be rude. Best of luck to you. With love 🤙🏽
Your hollow sincerity is what was rude. I suggest you work on that after youve used your new dictionary to check words youre not 100% about. There is no shame in not being sure, the shame is not caring to learn. Im a teacher & darn proud of it & I will not let someone like you rain on my Easter parade.
@@jennajobasiaz5559 if being rude to someone for a typo is your way to correct someone, I’d hate for you to be my teacher. Or anyones teacher for that matter. I’m definitely not raining on your parade. I’m out here enjoying my own. Let’s remember that YOU brought the negativity. I responded. As I said before, with love, I hope your life/situation gets better and you don’t have to spend your time being a Debby downer over typos. Good day! 🤙🏽
Your problem is not being able to stop causing a commotion. That is not something to admire or to pass on to younger people. Time to be born, time to die....time to refrain from speaking. Silence is a virtue. Dont shame a teacher.
Federal regulation USCG all gasoline powered vessels with inclosed cabins must have a Carbon Monoxide detector onboard especially if equipped with a generator. Great videos absolutely love them!
take a min to thank you I have been trying to get back on the water for long time got a Chris 281 I have been working on. I am more familiar with the south end of Tampa Bay and the Gulf nice snook the smokestacks I believe are from the power plant off gandy. I too enjoy letting my dogs roam on a island provided there's no oyster beds thanks
Watching you in that Bass Raider the last few vids made me buy one....Today I bought a 2.5 Suzuki outboard for it. Really is a great little boat..... thanks for showing yours which lead to making me buy one! Now it's mod...mod...mod.... LOL - Thinking deck section so will have casting deck with storage under. Already added Scotty mounts and extra handles, bow & stern lights and such. It needs a live well now! :) Really looking forward to seeing vids of you modifying yours.
Hey Zoffinger. Hope your doing well. I really enjoy your videos. Feels like I am with you right there. Your having to much fun man. If you can keep those videos coming please.
Man I really like your videos I used to work on a commercial boat that docked in Ruskin on the little manatee it's a nice area.Keep up the good work your channel is good it's just the kind of stuff I like to watch
I really enjoy your videos. Especially the one when you caught a big sheepshed and cooked it in your boat. Yum yum. You should really do a catch and cook video once in awhile. Please :)
DUDE!!! Just found your channel... great job! You got a new follower. Your Chris Craft is a total beaut' !!! Great job on the custom work. She looks like a marvel!
Love your work Marty. I'm happy to see your life is adapting well. I thought of a Title name for your coming Vids. Seeing the Kon Tiki 3 is finished with the getting ready for travelling. After seeing this vid, these days are more about you and your journey with your pets. So i thought "life on a boat" would suit your vid's more. Just a thought. Good luck with the seas ahead. Regards Mario. Cheers Captain.
Marty, you might want to check out the Best Choice Washer. It could be a good option to keep on the boat or at the business for yourself. It's nice and compact. Lots of RV people use similar ones.
I get to live vicariously through you.. please please don't stop making, videos about you, your dogs, your boat and the adventures y'all endure.
I've never seen the ocean I would give anything to take a trip like you and Mike took but I doubt a wheelchair would work. But I can dream.
your living the dream Marty!!
i loved how you edit the video together with the music " really relaxing", i hope one day i can be like you, owning a boat or a kayak at least.. great job marty... keep it up..

Ps. Found you by accident. Good videos. Real Reality TV.
Marty, this is the video that 104, 625 of us have been waiting for!! Way to go!!
Marty, I can only imagine the feeling of Freedom you must feel when out on Anchor. It has to be amazing! What an amazing dream come true this must be. Drink it up my friend and enjoy every moment!
You did it !!! FINALLY !!!
Nothing like a sunrise with a hot cup of java in a boat at peace. (One of my best life memories)
God bless you brother !
Thank you :^)

Those are some of the happiest dogs I've seen!! Seem to be enjoying the new lifestyle!

from a suicide survivor hitting retirement age..life goes by so fast.
THANKS MARTY !!
You videos are so great to watch..you're like Bob Ross, if he was into kayak fishing instead of painting :)
Another great video Marty! Lovely to see your two dogs running free and having so much fun!
Thank you for all your inspiration and knowledge Marty. Today was the first day I went out in the flats of St Pete and went kayak fishing for the first time! I knew exactly what to expect from watching your videos. Looking forward to my next adventure.
From the little red kayak to living in your own boat, that is just awesome Marty.
I found this vid so relaxing after seeing all the hard work it took to get to this point. Hope you continue to enjoy this segment of your journey.
wish i had a friend like you. we need more people like you in this world. makes me envy what you have something i would like to learn. how to make decisions towards a more free life.
Really enjoyed watching the dogs have such a great time, you too. Thanks for bringing us all along!
"And just like that we were on an island all by ourselves!" Love it!!! That's the freedom of owning a boat and doing your thing.
It's all payed off Marty! I'm so excited for these videos now that you're out of the dock and out for adventures!
Zoffinger I have seen almost all of your videos from your very first kayak to now and I must say, you sir are living the dream my friend! Haters gonna hate but you just keep your head up, fish to your hearts content and keep the videos comin my friend!!! P.s I think it's rad you have sponsors! Why not? You've taught and reached so many people! Live long and prosper!
WOW my friend, I really enjoy the morning with you and the dogs. But when you caught the fish I'm all in on the fun. Thanks
you need a go pro to attach to your dogs.. it would be interesting to see your adventures from their POV.
Great videos! You are a natural. You have a story telling voice. Your videos flow well. I think you got a future on the channel. I hope you get a chance to do the loop. Good Luck and smoothe paddling.

It really depends on where you keep your genny. There's nothing to worry about when you have it where he keeps his. If your generator is in your engine room then a monoxide detector is a good idea.
Jim M the genset is on the dive platform..
I had one already in the cabin to test for the exhaust coming from the two main CO pooters. A tester is a must. Even when on the swim platform, because you're not moving, the fumes can creep around the inside of the boat.
No worries mounted out of the swim platform !
Any room left in your engine bay to mount that generator?
I have a very tough life with my career, everything is hectic all the time and all people (including myself) only focus on making the big buck. To be honest, its great to unwind and watch these videos. Maybe someday Ill have the courage to live like this.... though I do enjoy getting stoned after a long week and watching these.
Marty is doing what he loves and living the dream, he is truely successful and rich in happiness!
Awesome Marty! Dreams are most welcome when they come true. Hope you continue to have many more.

All that hard work has paid off, Thanks Marty!
Man you are really in a good place in life! I really envy you and your videos are about the best and most enjoyable thing I have seen on TH-cam! Thanks!
I have learned so much from watching your video’s. 5 years new in Tampa Bay Area. A kayak will be my next move. I love fishing man.
I liked this just because of your pups. Man you made them so happy, especially the black one.
Thank you for sharing your life with everyone.
Can't wait for you to start your great loop adventure. That would be a great trip
man, i thoroughly enjoy the new style of your recent videos. very relaxing and entertaining to watch.
Also, congratulations on leaving your house to live on your boat. that must have taken a lot of courage.
Just wonderful filming as usual Marty! Your video is meditative.
Beautiful video Marty, as always. I love how you enjoy the whole experience, not just catching fish. :)
Wow! That was the most satisfying video I've seen in a long time. Thanks!!!
your dogs are so cool and a joy to watch them have fun. The lab is too funny.
Your channel is easily my favorite right now. Keep up the great work!
Welcome back! This had the same relaxing feeling as when you started. Made me happy...
Very nice yacht, glad to see someone achieve their dream, there is nothing like life on the hook...see you on the water someday...happy boating
That's awesome Marty! Glad to see You enjoying life.
Youre like the Bob Ross of fishing/cruising. I love it!
Hey Zoffinger, get a 2x6 lumber or plywood and staple carpet to it, and make a Latch of some sort, so you can put on the back of the boat for the dogs to walk up and down from the bassbuster. (A bridge)
Glad to see you out on the water with your "fleet". Keep up the good videos.
I have been enjoying your videos for years. You seem to be a gentle and practical man. Don't let the, I guess Trolls is the word, get you down. They appear to be poorly behaved teenagers (Even though they may be grown men)!
Awesome, awesome, awesome. Looks like it was a beautiful day on top of it.
Great episode. Boat home, dogs frolicking and caught a fish!
Well done Marty, congrats on the boat and the overnight stay love the boat videos
One of the best videos I have seen from you.
Great video, love watching your videos. Much respect from across the pond 👍
Loved this video Marty! One of your bests!
How much better can it get. Great Video, Thanks for sharing.
Ive been following you for over a year now. Your videos are so peaceful and serine!! It's made me change my lifetstyle completely and I have to say, I love it!!! I'll certainly keep watching!!!

I really like how the boat looks love how you bring the dogs along with you.
Federal regulation USCG all gasoline powered vessels with inclosed cabins must have a Carbon Monoxide detector onboard especially if equipped with a generator. Great videos absolutely love them!
thanks for the vid. took me to my thoughts of when my wife and i move on our sailboat one day with our kayaks
Hope it was as good as it looks! Keep being strong because you are enjoying life and the best parts of it...
You are living the life im fantasizing of, when im older im gonna do that too...
Awesome video Marty,
Your living the life buddy. Thanks for sharing.

Hi to the 3 of you! I really enjoyed this video so I subscribed. Thanks for sharing!
Very cool! Must be nice to live on the water and travel around and fish :) Nice job on your boat!
just a man, and his boat. and two beautiful dogs. what more can u ask for
Haha the dogs...those dogs are awesome! We boat in Tampa Bay too, we'll keep an eye out for you!
