This really is very helpful and clarifies a problem I was having. Every time I was nude on my sailboat ladies would yell, "NICE DECK SALON" and I would respond "Thanks but my name is not Salon". Now I realize it was a failure to communicate! 😳
I would love to see you talk about Catalina sailboats, my favorite is a 350. I feel like they hold their value and are solid built vessel. I just sold my Hunter 420, it was a easy boat to live on, always liked center cockpits, before that a Islander Freeport 41, again center cockpit. Down sizing.... Enjoy your videos Dave
"AT THE PRICE POINT" it's hard to beat a Hunter. I looked at a lot of boats while shopping. Any Jeanneau or Beneteau that was in the Hunter price range was more worn/used. Almost every Hunter I looked at was near pristine. You could read into that on why. (my Hunter has a factory installed 18 gallon additional auxiliary fuel tank)
@@trippontwowheels Boise Idaho area. I love it here... Lots of great riding spots close and a lot of variety in scenery. Not much for sailing though other than trailerable lake boats lol.
@@ChasingLatitudes Still it would be better to have normal perspective images instead of wide angle. I'm thinking that you found these images out on the internet and that is what was available to you. One other issue is that for the Jeanneau the fresh water tank is the 94 gallons while the fuel is the 34. I wonder if the fuel tanks are roughly comparable since the Hunter is running a 54 HP vs a 40 on the Jeanneau. I suspect the Jeanneau has less resistance going through the water so it will push the boat as fast or faster under power, no? Thanks for your perspective in all these videos.
Hello Chris. I was wondering if you had a video that goes over the total costs of owning a boat as a second residence, 100k sailboat 40ft or less, a permanent slip (if there are any left), insurance, maintenance, and whatever else it all amounts to. I’ve seen insurance can be tough to get with limiting sailing experience, and as I mentioned it seems like ever marina I have looked at has a waiting list. Is it even feasible to have a boat as a second residence that can compete in cost to just a modest home near some water somewhere, or is boating really just as expensive? Thanks for your consideration.
Usually far less than home costs, depending on the vessel you can assume somewhere from 15k a year and up for costs, this has several factors such as vessel, location, marina and so on but usually it's far cheaper living than land living.
Chris I would not complain about either boat. I do know that Hunter seems to have that it can't cross oceans. Me I don't know about that and I would just go anyway lol. Thanks again for a great video, I want to catch up with you for a chat but have been very busy with family and business things.
Lol was going to point out both of your choices are "raised salon" and not deck salon. Moody or Sirus do actual deck salon which allows a 40 to space like a 50 and so on and so forth. A true ds with galley up pretty much puts any of these two boats to shame

Wooo hoooo!!
Hey! I follow your channel too! So you're a rider AND a sailor?! Man... We should be friends! 😁
@@High_Desert_Tanner Indeed I am. Where are you from Tanner?

@@High_Desert_Tanner I’ve got a lot of family in Idaho. Love that state, particularly the Boise area.
Nice job. Well done. All good info.
Wish you would have compared prices between the two
I should have but had to hurry to get things done do to sick family member. I will in the future
Cmon the hunter interior is clearly shot with a wide angle or manipulated to look bigger. It almost looks stretched in some frames lol
Ever been on one ? Trust me they are huge 😃

Another photo finish.
And the favorite wins again.
I really dig the looks of that hunter. Do they make a smaller version?

Salon ? or Saloon ? A beauty or consultant room or a room on the deck of a vessel?
It's an IQ 10000 move, if I post it like this people will comment about it ;) all part of the plan, and you do know it's saloon right ;)
👏👏
