my favorite part of this video...Bridget on the Fourwinns Cat, "OMG I love it"...Tom "its nice but we havnt seen the price.."...Bridget..."have another beer"... hysterical and true...
I for one can't wait to keep watching you guys on this venture! Tommy And The Admiral are going to be getting something really special. Great video Sir!
Your wife has such a huge smile when she's on a $400k+ boat !!! She's got great taste !!! lol You can tell how much the price tag will be just by how big her smile is !!!
Yeah those cats are absolutely beautiful boats I've been on a couple here in Newport Beach Harbor and then went outside the Breakwater and hung out just off the coast and what a sweet smooth ride those are. Really Bitchin lookin boats on the water and in the Marina. That one's got Plenty to Enjoy on the Inside
I've been looking for something new for outside, like a wide beam Pursuit 350 Offshore and a used 26'-28' center console for putzing around inside. Depending on use and lifestyle, it's a tough choice to make. GL
I think Brigitte likes the Four Winns. I think that’s the perfect boat for you. You can’t beat the 700 horsepower. That’s massive, the cabin is beautiful
Man I loved that 36XO that the V birth had a square bed can't stand boats that have the rounded edge on the beds to me it makes a very uncomfortable bed!!
Some great boats, thankyou 👍 Love the Jeaneau 1295 fly, from same group as the Beneteau 12, same hull i believe, but they have more cabin space and more useable space up top, from @ $650k I think. Have fun choosing! 👍
Hi Guys, I’ve been following your trip to the keys and I just watched your boat show video. Great job! We own the Jeanneau 10.5 and love it, I did see that you guys liked it at the show. Next Saturday we are taking the 10.5 down to Marathon, Fara Blanco…and I’d love to speak to you about the best route…and some places to stop on the way down, I can also share some of my local knowledge of the Marathon area. Maybe we can have a brief call or something! LMK if possibly tomorrow afternoon or early evening would work for you. Looking forward!
Hi Tom and Bridgett another great video. makes the boat shows in Michigan very small. been following all of your videos since boat yard in New York. this Boat show makes me feel like my 99 Well craft 32 Martinque very obsolete lol. wonder if your next boat 34 to 38 will be outboards? anyways thanks so much stay safe Alk in Michigan PS Bridgett will get what she wants lol
Everyone loves the latest bells and whistles, but none of these new boats can beat the value of the 341 Meridian. Keep your boat, upgrade a few things, and enjoy!
The Beneteau Antares 11 and the Jeanneau NC 1095 came from the same factory in Poland! The Jeanneau feels a little bit spacious inside, the Fly is almost the same as the NC… the pro is you have on the NC a third cabine almost for storage…
If you look into the used market you will open up so many more opportunities. Of course you need to have them surveyed and plan on spending some money up front but those new boats are 2-5x the price of some older boats. Most features can be added and maybe not as beautiful but better to save your money for cruising. If you buy new there is a severe depreciation curve over the first 5 years.
You should have checked out the Aquila 44 or 54 ! Those power Catamarans have more than enough interior space and if you get the enclosed flybridge or even if you just enclose it with eisenglass(sp.) the a/c is more than sufficient !
Thank you for taking me to the FLIBS. I was unable to attend this year. Are you replacing both boats or just one ? I thought the Four Winds TH 36 was nice with an acceptable price. But staterooms on cats can be cramped. You seem to be leaning towards outboards.
We first went in 2019 and finally got went again earlier this year. The power catamarans are amazing. Trip of a lifetime for a boater! Meant to add check out the Wandering Hillbilly videos.
My view, do not buy new! Look at what one can get if willing to look out for boats in the 2014-2018 time-frame! Much better bang for the buck! 44'-48'ers for way less than 800k, for sure! Still newish with loads of extras added by previous owners. Way to go!!!
there are a bunch of newish outboard crusers in the 34'-38' range but only post 2020. We have a 2022 Regal 36 XO and love it for both day crusing and overnighting. It's nice having recent technology but even new boats will still have some maintenance issues.
Finally someone did a good boat show video. Not just boats that go fast with 6 engines.❤
my favorite part of this video...Bridget on the Fourwinns Cat, "OMG I love it"...Tom "its nice but we havnt seen the price.."...Bridget..."have another beer"... hysterical and true...
my favorite part was no commercials Boat show was awesome Thanks guys Loved it
Buy em ALL! 😂😂😂❤❤
Good comprehensive boat show coverage. I like the way you make it seem as though you have a choice throughout the entire video.
😂
Great tours, really enjoyed them!

Thanks for the tours. Really helps to see them like this.
Mind blowing! So many boats to choose from. I'm sure you will make the right choice.
Thanks for a great video.
Thank You, for bringing us along. Have been wanting to go to a show like this for years.
Our pleasure!
I really like that Jeanneau 10.5 WA. Very well laid out deck and cabin.
Always a fun show to attend. I haven't been for a few years, must get it on the calendar for next year!

I've been watching your channel and was just at FLIBS as well. Some great boats there. Thanks for sharing your day!

I love to go to boat shows to dream and plan ! Have fun!
Awesome tour! 🚤

His and hers sleeping arrangements, you can’t beat that
Man I loved that 36XO that the V birth had a square bed can't stand boats that have the rounded edge on the beds to me it makes a very uncomfortable bed!!
You look right at home on the 42FXO Capt. Tom.
That was fun! Wish you would have shown the Pursuit boats. Have fun shopping!
Not sure how I missed getting them in video.
Regal has some nice looking boats.
I see the boat prices are still Covid like... used is the way to go. I saw a sweet 2006 Meridian 341 in my price range 😁
Some great boats, thankyou 👍
Love the Jeaneau 1295 fly, from same group as the Beneteau 12, same hull i believe, but they have more cabin space and more useable space up top, from @ $650k I think.

I think they were more in 800 range. We love them. But too much $ for us.
Nice boats.

We’re leaning towards outboards. Less stress in shallow waters.
The Regal 42. It's a nice boat, but I would go for the Aquila 44. It has 3 state rooms, 3 separate heads, 3 separate showers, and full bee master.
Both are very expensive for us. Lol
Hey, one day go over to Marine Max and do a video on the Boston Whaler Conquest's and Walker Marine on the Pursuit OS's

I tend to like the flybridge layout on the Antares better but the 3rd cabin on the 1095 is nice.

Understood. Tough to find what we want used. The large outboard cruisers haven’t been out long.
I enjoy the videos. My question, are you happy with your current 341 Meridian? I see some for sale in the Northeast and curious of the pros and cons
I love it! We’re looking for something a little faster with outboards. Sort of between the regal and meridian. I’m torn on giving her up honestly.
Out of all the boats you looked at I would not give the last boat you purchased for any of them
You should have checked out the Aquila 44 or 54 ! Those power Catamarans have more than enough interior space and if you get the enclosed flybridge or even if you just enclose it with eisenglass(sp.) the a/c is more than sufficient !
price point is tough. maybe a used one?
Leopard 40 is my favorite boat, I have been looking at them for a year now,,,
Brigitt’s too! Way too big way too expensive. Lol
For $300,000 you could purchase a very nice used Grady 33, with outboards.
I think I like the dinghy the best🤣
at 13:00 that’s my parents!! 🥳🥳
Know them pretty well now! 👍

Outboards are the way to go in Florida. Need to get close to sandbar islands and beaches.
@@AdventuresofHappyOurs Outboards are also easier to work on
Have you two ever done a British Virgin Island charter?
@@dianelyons7017 no we haven’t. Plenty of cruises though!

Nice duplex 😂that TH36
Jeanneau all the way
All of the newer boats seem so small conpared to 10+ years ago...
I really like your 260 XO. I remember you saying it's a 2019. What is a boat like that worth? Thanks
Wide range from new to used. 2019s about 130k. Ours going up for sale soon.
Glad I got into boating when it was affordable to the common man
Aquila 42 or a Formula 430 SSC
I will never not be amazed at boat prices. Hard to justify in the northeast.
Anyone using diesel outboards?
We saw some diesel OBs but not on boats we looked at.
Going have to buy the neighbor’s house if you going to get another boat😂
Love the content but I think you should seriously consider upgrading the camera. The quality of the videos is grainy and foggy.
Partially the sun glare and partially smudge on Lense. It clears up later.
Now get on yachtworld and find a slightly used one, or a hurricane damaged one and repair it. 😅
My view, do not buy new!
Look at what one can get if willing to look out for boats in the 2014-2018 time-frame! Much better bang for the buck! 44'-48'ers for way less than 800k, for sure! Still newish with loads of extras added by previous owners. Way to go!!!
I agree, but we are looking for an outboard cruiser in the 35’ range which were not really made before 2020 time frames.
there are a bunch of newish outboard crusers in the 34'-38' range but only post 2020. We have a 2022 Regal 36 XO and love it for both day crusing and overnighting. It's nice having recent technology but even new boats will still have some maintenance issues.
400K for a 39? HARD PASS. 620K for a 39? HAS EVERYONE LOST THEIR MINDS?
To much of some one walkeing in front of camera for me sorry
Wait… did I see you can get a million dollar boat financed for less than $6,000 a month? 🫢 I may be in the market to upgrade… 🤔
that’s the hard part. well first sell our 2 boats to pay a bulk of the new one off.
