Perfect topic for 90% of us. Watch the subscribers run to your channel. Well Done Sir! It's reassuring to hear your experience speaking here, not just a prancing floozie scantily clothed trotting around anything that floats. Get to hear facts, so I get the right boat that attracts the 'floozies'. Now look what you've got me thinking ! Thanks again.
Based on what you said, if someone is looking for a turnkey, coastal cruiser that's ready to go right now, it sounds like an ex charter would be hard to beat!
There are seriously charter company contracts that require a boat to be hauled and surveyed after every charter? That seems outrageous and only a one off. Can you provide any examples where a 'standard' boat is put through this after each charter? Not trying to be a troll, but that sounds odd to me.
@@ChasingLatitudes I may have misheard you, but that was what I took away from the comment. my apologies if I didn't remember that correctly, it just stuck out in my ear as I heard it. I have chartered multiple times, have owned a couple of sailboats and my dad had his boat in a charter fleet. Cheers
The engine gets used more, the sails still age in the sun, the rigging still ages, and like a condo rental the heads, water pumps, generators, etc get used and abused, but better Maintenace than your average owner. Hey does your book cover pricing and figure out if a boat is a good deal or not? Like how to appraise a boat and figure if the price is reasonable or if it's its high. I've watched several videos where you remark on several 20+ boats the price is to high.
LMAO @ leveling something with a 2x4, at least use the factory edge of some plywood or sheet steel FFS. I bought a fixer-upper, but only because I'm bored and in training to repair fiberglass to aviation standards.

Hah, glad I could help
Sitting on the land staring out to sea and watching your videos. Happy days.
Really enjoy these videos, lots of questions were answered, Thanks Chris .
I would say if you want a newer boat going for ex charter is one of the best budget options if you have a tight budget as you said!
I agree
I often see quite cheap newer models in Croatia for sale.
Yes

I don't think I said that they did that after every charter did I ?

Fun fact, shipyards also buy in bulk.
