You can pick these Marine Traders up at a really reasonable price over here in America. That boat ( of sold over here) can be found for half the money. Another great video. And yes I am a subscriber and I hit the bell for notifications. Boy hearing that gets old FAST!😩🤣😂🤣
I own a Kha Shing 40 which is the same boat but with two sleeping cabins instead of three. They are very well made and built tough. I don't agree with the comment that the hulls are flimsy. They were originally built with beautiful teak interiors..I suspect that the windows leaked so they repainted. I re-bedded all my ports (standard maintenance on any vessel) and 40 years on the wood in the interior is perfect and she is dry! They are thick and have stringers the whole length of the hull. The quality of the hardware and wiring is excellent. I agree that they are not good in a beam sea. The cabin is incredible for a 40 foot boat. They are a good economical coast cruiser but no more! Good overall value.
Great looking boat for it’s age! Am sure all put together with quality materials in the day. Could also be a live aboard with all that space and big cockpit! Love this one❤
Great boat - thanks for the tour. I think it shows off a fantastic use of space. I especially Iike being able to relax in the salon/saloon without my knees jammed up against the kitchen cupboards or having to look at cooking clutter. And that rear outdoor deck is absolutely massive. So...a question for us landlocked lake lubbers who do not have to deal with tidal waters. When a boat of that size settles onto the mud do you not have to worry about bending prop shafts and rudder posts, clogging thru-hulls and other unpleasantries?
Thanks for watching and for leaving a comment 🫡 The mud around here is very soft so doesn’t really cause too much of an issue as long as the boats have decent skegs/keels etc
Question and suggestion, How do you replace equipment in the engine rooms (on this and on the bigger yachts) as well as the galley? Would love to see a video of that. I always wanted to see how a navy ship did that, but I was never on board any ship long enough to get to see any of that.
Two places I want to go: 1. Syberia (just because I am nuts and love cold weather) and 2 Scotland (that includes all areas around Scotland) oh Scotland because we are descendants of the border reivers.
If you like cold weather go to Alaska instead. Going to Siberia isn't fun at all, and this is NOT about weather, it's all about establishment and corruption. Well, unless you are a real nuts and deciding to explore Russian penitentiary system, particularly in Siberia!
Yo ho ships.. now this is nice. Retirement. Cruise out of galveston, to new Orleans then to ' Bama. Then the keys. Christopher cross " sailing" playing.. thanks and atta "buoy."
She weighs 18 tons at only 41ft. There is nothing flimsy about that unless they have stuffed some lead in the bilges. The other issue I have with your comment is that a marine engineer is unlikely to own a flimsy vessel.
@@achosenman9376 they are 12.5 tonnes dry weight, ie, less water and fuel using the old tamd series 6 cylinder diesel Volvo's. The bottom of the hull is reasonably well layed up and stringers running up most of the hull, the sides above the waterline are very thin. I know, I had one years ago and accidentally lightly hit the corner of a pontoon, which left a wide gaping hole. Myself and the company I used to do the repairs were shocked at how light it was. Subsequently sold soon after.
She is an unexciting boat, but great value. And to be sure there is nothing really wrong with her, just a workman of the seas. Be a great long weekender with another couple. Unfortunate that she is stuck with that from fridge, that is really the only real issue.
So they will get massive reach for potential buyers by getting featured on your channel, but they’re only willing to give you access for an hour to film..? Strange thinking…

My favorite thing about your videos is that you and I are the same height. This gives me an accurate idea of if a boat is right for me.

If I had that boat, I’ll probably travel to Spain and Greece, probably quite a few places very nice boat 👍👍👍
glorious boat..... in another life maybe
Fantastic.

Great Loop Baby! 👍
Oh yeah!

Gorgeous boat.
That one is in great condition but, they hate heavy seas and they've got very flimsy hulls! She would make a great liveaboard though.
Yes. I was thinking the Marina at San Diego California.
Good luck with getting it in that location but yeah perfect for that location @edgarcia4794

@@max-vj4yw You didn’t lightly hit anything that punched a hole into the hull. Thinner topsides is Lloyds standard layup on boats.
I would like to have this one in my country - Chile, South America - Please give me more info about this wonderful Yacht. Thanks so much.

unexciting boat??!?!? Bit like your above comment.
Hi bro,
I guess like all traders it's a steel construction?

6'4"? 1. You do not look that tall; 2. And you are navy? for sures not Canadian (to tall); and 3. I would have thought you would have gone artillery.
Ex navy! 🫡
@@YachtBuoy Hope so. Funny if you were an army guy who talks navy. We will not talk about airforce.
Don't like this at all sorry
What a cracking boat for the money, its ready for the next lucky owner.
