I love the new stripe. If there is one thing the PNW doesnt have enough of, it is Dark Gray
Right? 🤣👍😋
I have lived here in The Great NorthWET since April 1960. I was six weeks old, so I can say that... lol.
Especially these past few days. Woke up this morning, and there's a tiny hint of Fall in the air at 6 a.m. today.
Yum.
Ha! Funny!
Environmental charges ARE TOTAL BULLSHIT. It's like a "doc fee" at an auto dealership.
Spot on financial advice, good for those considering a boat purchase. When people use the kind of clear-eyed budgeting you use for required future expenses lots of surprises are avoided. This kind of literacy should def be taught in school, thanks!
Please keep your subscribers up to date as the vinyl stripe ages. I am very curious about colorfastness, resistance to corrosion, ability to clean it, resistance to scratches, etc, etc.
Budget 10% of the replacement value of your boat. An older boat will be less expensive to purchase, but there will be more large expenses, engines & generators may need to be replaced, electronics updated & on and on. An older boat that is a 'good deal' may be the most expensive one.
Thanks for keeping boat ownership real. Love all of the details you provide.
One of your best yet! Thanks.
Great video and great, realistic info! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for a great video Capt.Elizabeth. You always do a quality presentation, best on the Tube for boat owners, IMHO. I was glad you went with the "Prop Speed" coating, I'm curious to see how long it will last and if you need to reapply it the next time you haul out. Thank you for the breakdown of the costs too .. that could be a nightmare for some folks if they are not sure of what they are getting into. These last three videos of the haul out have been so helpful .. again fantastic work. Please give Martha and Mr.Sully a scratch behind the ear for me, they are so cute! .. Hope to see you if you come down the coast ... Take care and Fair Winds.
Outstanding work. You guys are killing it as usual. Thanks for the transparency.
Great information on cost, not many people will share that information. Love your videos, thank you!
Thanks for giving an honest and realistic cost assessment of boat ownership. I have owned everything from a small 8’ dingy I built with my father when I was 12 to a 23’ cruiser I kept in the water in Long Beach, CA. Boat ownership is expensive. Ownership of anything is expensive and getting higher. My backyard beekeeping hobby is expensive and increasing. I’ll be making a cost roundup video similar to yours for what it cost in dollars when I had to destroy my beekeeping equipment due to a wax moth infestation.
Sadly, there seems to be a fear of honesty or fear of judgement amongst the TH-cam Creator Community to disclose the cost in both dollars and time for the projects shown in the videos. I have stopped following many channels because of this very reason. Thanks again for your honesty and sincerity. It helps others who may be just starting out or considering the boating/boat owning life style to get a sense of the costs involved in the increasingly costly recreational or live aboard lifestyle.
Great information! Glad all went well 👍
That is a great price for Seattle. Seaview is great. I didn't know they let you stay onboard. You can get it done for $42 a foot including paint in other local yards but no staying aboard.
Extremely informative! Thank you for the detailed breakdown. As a private pilot, I budget similarly for the annual inspections and TBO items that will eventually require major overhauls. What I found interesting is how similar the costs are, despite owning a small, but late model Cessna 182RG. Kudos to you both for your enlightening and entertaining videos!
Hey this video was Premo!!! Nice break down of everything. We are glad to see you guys back afloat.
I always appreciate the "cost of everything" episodes. Not (yet) being a boat owner, I have no idea about these costs. Your channel lets me better understand what I would be getting myself into. Thanks.
MV Freedom is providing a real service to to those of us who want to go to sea. My "Offline" cost us every two years over the 8 years we had her in line with your costs. We had to find a hotel and I did some small tasks not anything as big as you guys did. We lived aboard for 18 months and loved every minute. The Bahamas was our hang out and cruising ground plus up and down the East Coast of Florida. You are a very good story teller and your editing makes it even better. Good luck to you both and continue the adventure.
Great episode this week 👍
SUPER! Freedom looks fantastic and always you and Shawn do amazing work. Keep it up!
Awesome breakdown! The boat looks fabulous. How much was it to do the interior cushions?
Enjoyed your informative video regarding your recent haul out. The cost and budgeting explanation was very good information and well presented by Elizabeth. Thank you! Enjoy your northwest videos. I live in South Puget Sound, and the areas you explore are very relevant. Keep up the great work 👍
Thanks for this - very helpful for planning!
You two take such great care for freedom that has just paid you your dividend. Freedom is immaculate. Well done, you got what you deserved;)
Thank once again for. Sharing!! Have a spectacular day!
Great review and nice work!
The whole haul out was very interesting, really enjoyed it. I'll be waiting for the the next one. Stay safe
This was a very interesting and well paced episode. The style suits your personality.
Hi Elizabeth (and Shawn), thanks so much for this really informative and fascinatingly interesting series of videos (I'm thinking particularly about the haul-out experience). Best wishes for your future cruising, from a subscriber in northern England. xx
Very interesting video and thanks for the specs. We were on a recent trip with a friend who has a place on Orcas Island so finally had a first hand experience with your boating playground.
We are currently hauled out in Port Townsend with our 48 foot trawler. We are using the same bottom paint and Propspeed. Our costs will be very close to yours. We are taking longer and relaxing more. Thank you for sharing
The money saved now is a nice head start for the next haul-out!
Awesome job u 2. 😎😎🚢🚢 love the breakdown of cost..👍👍👍😎😎😎
Well done! You always amaze with your stories and attention to the details.
Great videos! I've been watching your videos today on this glorious Seattle day lol. You've got about $3500 ahead of the next haul, or more upgrades :) Happy Holidays to you both and thanks for the videos! We're boaters too, see you on the water!
Boat looks beautiful ! Outstanding video ! Very informative with great humor ! Thanks for sharing 😊.
That was less than I would have guessed. The yard sounds like a very fair place. I have a couple yards on the east coast I use and when it's that time I usually work my travel plans around one of them. It's always nice to have somewhere your familiar with and have some trust in. I've seen some yards that will really stick it to you once they have you on the hard.
TY for such amazing transparency. So helpful...for us hopefuls. MV Freedom. Ship shape again!
& Susan here, We think this was one of the best "whats it cost video's we have seen" , thx
The costs seemed really great and the way you two budget and prepare for the maintenance in general is rewarding to observe - it just seems Nordhaven owners are inclined to maintain THIER boats in a pristine manner- your’s always look immaculate- Thanx again for videos and sharing
Great Job ,video was great , boat looks great. Thanks for being so honest with the cost, excellent information. Thank you
Great update, thank you.
Very informative and nicely done. Now go and enjoy the boat!
Great job, good video, thank you. Love it.
Wonderful presentation - frankly I was surprised at the very reasonable fees from the marina. You omitted the costs of the interior work though which was of interest to me. Love the gray stripes. Glad all went well and you are back off the hard.
We were interested in the interior portion as well.
Thanks for the your being so willing to share all of the cost info very interesting. We have also learned that the 10 percent to value is painfully accurate LOL always a pleasure to watch your videos Hopefully you guy's will make it to the east coast eventually with Freedom and experience the Chesapeake Bay
That was a very thorough explanation and easy to understand, so thanks. Now back in the liquid stuff, “enjoy”.
Excellent price for the basic haul out and bottom paint. I just paid about a thousand more for a 31 foot trawler. Also got hit with $500 insurance surcharge. I think that was added for me doing some of own DIY projects.
Hello Teresa I think this was one of your finest episodes in your adventures if you were ad-libbing you did a fabulous job love the continent the progression everything, Sean I know why you work so fast because your mind is moving even faster where the average person is figuring something out you’re already four steps ahead of them and figuring out exactly how do I finish this job instead of where do I start. But to me that’s something that’s a wonderful gift enjoy it.
I like the new white cushions must be so much brighter inside great info too cheers
Well done guys, I really enjoy your videos, very informative, well presented and thoroughly enjoyed every week
Considering what my wife spends on designer hand bags this is a steal ... I'm new to your channel and I like the "this is the reality" aspects of the videos I have seen so far.
I just found you on TH-cam I have watched a number of your videos and I have enjoyed them all I look forward to following your life, your such a lovely couple and beautiful family, sharing your journey brings me happiness ❤
both seaview boatyards are the most expensive and restrictive boatyards in the seattle area. there are lots of other boatyards that allow you to do your own work and cleanup and the cost of a haulout is much less.
Damn, that doesn’t seem that bad! I agree that you got a great deal on the bottom paint. I switched brands of bottom paint on my Hunter sailboat to BlackWidow (I sail on a lake) and I don’t think I’ll ever do that again. Way more labor than I thought.
Great video - Considering what you had done, that's not bad at all. Just a bottom paint on our Bertram was 3k.
awesome video!
Really like the new stripe, good choice!!
Thanks for the information!
Makes sense with your maintenance budget being 10% a year at a value of $600,000
I made my first trip to the San Juan islands (from Oregon) using so the knowledge gained from Shawn and Elizabeth. I’m moored at Friday Harbor and they are here also! Thanks guys you made the trip unforgettable and easier.
"Guys, thank you so much", Respect. Nice boat, thanks for sharing.
Yeah.... that 10% rule is spot on. Great job, well done. 👍
You guys are so cool.. love your enthusiasm
Excellent recap
Good One!! Enjoyed Cost/Benefit analysis. Because of my fishing addiction I do a highly technical analysis of our cost/pound of fish captured for consumption…. Its somewhere between $3 and $5 thousand a pound that goes in the freezer… eating our catch makes us very happy but…. Clearly an addiction…. 😵💫
Thanks for the good info 👍
another great video!!!
You're just a doll. Excellent video, Shawn is a cutie too.
Long time fan!
Thank you for sharing that , it's definitely not just put gas or diesel in and let's go , great tips and information for sure I'm sure they're are a lot of people that don't take into consideration what needs to be done for the life of a boat .
Another great video. We live full time on our 44 DeFever and certainly know the ‘costs’ of this life style. Sold the house and etc, etc, etc….
Question! You’ve had Sully and now have Martha. They look like the same breed??!! We know you adopted Martha but don’t remember the back story. Small and compact and they seem to be very quiet. Are they? Great lap dogs! Our little girl passed last year and now we’re getting antsy for another dog. But we’re not up for a ‘barker’! Or at least relatively quiet. So? What’s the scoop??
Thanks for any thoughts.
Thanks for the transparency on the cost of ownership. Seems to be a secret most wont discuss
Amazing how that new grey stripes changes the whole look! We’ll done!
Great recap
Excellent video thank you
Love watching your videos
Awesome show your the “BEST”
This is a great video for those thinking about purchasing a boat and what the costs to maintain it would be. Many new boaters do not think of such things at all. kudos to you guys...and besides a Nord is well worth the money right..hahahah
Such educational videos that help comprehend all of the mechanical and physical details that require attention and maintenance on a well designed routine schedule.
Do you mind sharing a cost breakdown of living aboard a boat in Seattle? Thank you. Hoping to join the life style one day.
Seaview has always been great to work with, and yeah, Shawn IS a machine. Good job to both of you for knocking out some hard work. Btw - I bet the yard gets their paint at wholesale and sells it retail - jus say'n - but the rest of their fees seem super reasonable. Congrats on getting re-splashed. Grey boot stripe? Really? That is so 2021.
I'm vague on why so many people offer creepy advice on your makeup and hair and whatever. I'll just tell you that you have great legs and a nice smile and call it good. You can grab a scraper and break a nail once in a while, it will add to your charm to get a little grime on you once in a while. When Shawn is doing something like the seals on the stabilizers, maybe a bit more of the actual work and sealing up so people can see how it is going. Maybe a report on the prop coating next time he is diving to check hull growth? I'm wondering if it will it will wear off on the leading edges.
Thank you for including the costs of things. Like many people I day dream of a live aboard sized boat and wonder how much money and time are involved in maintaining the boat. The green stripe had to go along with the creepy green interior ultra leather. Good call on both.
Your orthodontist must have a hundred pictures of your smile all over his office !
Givin your climate there and it’s your house , year around living on the water is doable! Not having a house or vehicles is also a plus but you missed the cost of the vessel ( good deal or not ) bringing that back in line ~ cost of a house is around $450,000 + taxes and upkeep so you are saving money !
Great video and great information thank you..
I have just retired and want to get into a trawler boat. I just watched the video of your helm instruments that you explain what you had I was just wondering is there something your boat does not have that you would like in your wheelhouse
Great vid! Thanks for posting. I would have lived with the green stripe. That kind of money buys a pretty large tray of treats and "adult beverages".
Excellent Video and highly informative - It's nice to hear some of your honest opinions thanks - John
Great video and information.
BOAT - Bring Out Another Thousand. I went with another money pit a motorhome.:)
Great looking boat!
Heads up, storing those Botes inflated in the sun can cause them to fail sooner. Best idea is to deflate them quite a bit if you don’t have the room to fold and stow.
All the best for the future guys
Very informative video. Thanks for making it. GOD bless, JC
If you only cruised the Great Lakes, would you have to haul out as often?
Cool Vid Thanks
Thank you!
after they splash, the first thing we do is go down in the bilge and look for water pouring in...
great video and infos 👏👌
Like the vinyl stripe. My boat needs a paint job. Going with plaid vinyl and a wallpaper artist to install. Thousands cheaper than a vinyl installer.
