Love the channel!!
210 is still the largest PPE boat in USA.... very good choices.
You guy got a nice boat- I’m trying to get one
Omen07 17: Thanks!! Appreciate that! -Capt Dan
Good evening Sergeant Major Dan and Miss. Elizabeth, we are new subscribers and love the scenery , the fishing and mostly how you interact with each other. I've been through the Keys when I was younger , did some deep sea fishing in the late 80s when I was a teenager , and I remember how long it took to land my Barracuda. We boat and fish in the Niagara River and Lake Erie and Ontario , you guys certainly helped to get through the lingering winter up here. Look forward to more great videos . Sincerely, Brett
Thank you SO much for subscribing and commenting, Brett!! We really love the feedback and hearing about your experiences too!! Barracuda is not our favorite, but they do give a great fight! Tell us about fishing up there - are you able to get the boat out already, or will it be a few more months? - D&E
@@FloridaFishingCouple we live in Niagara Falls, so boating and fishing in the Niagara River , Lake Erie and Lake Ontario are very much local and accessible to us. Large and smallmouth bass in the river and Lake Erie, sometimes some Pickerel ( Walleye), and Lake Ontario is more the larger Lake Trout amd Salmon if we ever get to use down riggers. Our favourite is towing the boat up to Muskoka or the Kawarthas for the scenery and bass, Northern Pike and when we are lucky... Musky . We are happy just cruising but usually do find spots for fishing. Georgian Bay is just gorgeous and pretty much any fish species . We are still waiting for the ice flow to finish , but should be out starting next week. You guys are great together and look forward to sharing some great scenery and fishing with both of you. Cheers, Brett and Jessica .
@@FloridaFishingCouple I was actually wondering what your favourite few fish are for eating , now knowing much on the salt water side of things. For us, just a bit of butter and garlic in the pan with some smallmouth bass filets is amazing. We have seen some of your videos where you prepare some, but have many more to watch . Hope it was 90 deg and perfect in the Keys today , cheers.
Great Video!
Thanks!! Really appreciate you watching and your comments! -Elizabeth
Currently have a 235 & 210 Chaos without bottom paint. You ever see a triumph down there without bottom paint? never needed it, so just curious. If you ever find yourselves in Maine, get to Camden.
nothing like having the boat back when everything working the way it should good luck from the bottom of the keys
That's for sure!! We are all summer ready now!! -D&E
Here up north we spend months without our boat in the water, so a week is nothing. Thanks for showing us your maintenance
Justin P: I don’t know how you do it. I remember being a kid growing up in New York and just waiting out the winter to go fishing. It seemed that winter lasted forever.... -D
@@FloridaFishingCouple trust me it's not easy. I wait and agonize with each cold day. but hopefully with global warming our winters won't be so long anymore.
Justin P: Yes, global warming will save us all!! 😀. -D
I have a 180 CC wellcraft I put a 36 volt Minn Kota Ulterra on. It can hold the boat within 3 ft of a GPS reading in pretty rough waters, you should consider that for your boat.
Audie Carter: We did actually, however the bow of the boat sits way up high and would need a custom extension of the lower unit to work properly. -D
I believe that's the same place that had a HUGE yellowfin out front when we were down. Boat looks awesome! Can't wait to see what's next!
Nice to have it back! Looking forward to watching your fishing adventures this year!
You need to teach her to back the trailer in. Everyone at the boat ramp loves it when my wife backs right in.
Eric Kuklis: She’s a keeper for sure! -D
Did my overall service in January. Needed to replace the steering this year, so it got a little pricey. Since I trailer I don’t have to worry about the bottom paint. Thanks for sharing !!
CPro Fishing With Wayne: Hey Wayne, can’t tell you how glad she is back! -D
Glad to see you ready to fish again. My triumph needs a good cleaning to. And my cowling could use some new paint also that Florida sun is tough.
Good job on annual maintenance.
she is much younger than you...? Just wonder how much older are you to her ? hmmm....lucky old man..!!! she love you man.
great teamwork getting her serviced Captain Dan. You guys are ready for that mutton spawn now, great timing!
Luis Rodda: Thanks Luis! Always appreciate you and your comments. Your channel is way underrated. You have some awesome videos and we hope some of our followers will check you out. Send us a few pictures of your fishing adventures and we will post them with one of our next videos. -D&E
riva ??? hmmmm expensive. went there ones. 500 to change plugs and oil on a ski .
I love this Part. Specially when done by you. Feels proud🐟🎏🥂🍾🏅
Cesar Gonzalez: What part Cesar? -D
My wife & I were staying on your canal last week on Churchill Downs St. We were hoping to see you guys boat by. We watch your channel from Seattle. Hopefully we’ll have a vacation home in Key Largo soon. Keep up the videos, we really enjoy watching your adventures.
Kwikfish Matt: That’s awesome!! We loved Seattle when we visited your city 2 years ago. Hope to see you guys down here soon. Sorry we missed you this last time. -D&E
Yes, Dan, yankin' the boat can be a traumatic experience. I feel your pain, brother!! lol Just remember, good things (a refreshed boat) come to those who wait. It’ll be worth it, and you’ll soon be back on the briny again.
Michael Rutledge: Feels great to be be back out on the water. Just in time for Mahi season this April! - D
Hi this John from Miami I agree I don’t have boat any more lost it in divorce but my brother has one and said I can use it when ever I want 😁 I help keep it in good shape and Engine running good so hope to see you all out there one day keep the videos coming thank you
Beautiful this place Congratulations!
Have a great week!
Stay with God always!
*Kisses!* 😘💋💋
Suellen Gonçalves - Pesca Esportiva: Thank you Suellen! -D&E
Hey , That was a cool video. Boat looks great. Did you guys use a different camera on this video, Quality seems better ?
A can't wait for more fishing / boating videos. Thank you for all the videos you guys do , I enjoy them all. Brian
Brian O: Right you are Brian. We did get a new camera, a little Sony. Seems to work great. Now we have 2 GoPros and the Sony for this summer! -D
Great video, I’ve been doing yearly maintenance on my boat as well. Now it’s time to go and get some stripers on that daisy chain. Good luck with your fishing!
Good luck to you also Glenn; looking forward to some pictures of your success!! -D&E
Right on! Can’t wait for your videos.
As usual nice video and gorgeous couple..thanks for sharing.
Mina Fady: Thanks Mina!! -D
Hated to take the boat out of the water. In NY, I did it in Nov. It went back in the water in April.
You have a very nice boat. Why do you have a First Sgt decal on your boat?
Ray Kelly: Spent quite a few years with the U.S.Army and left with the rank of Sergeants Major. We are a military family. -D
just got my second boat home from services and winter storage. will put her in the ice free water at weekend i hope! As you say.... 2019 here we come!!
Ekbergarna Linus: Yahooooo! So glad you are back on the water. Send us some pics at FloridaFidhingCouple@gmail.com and we will post them on one of our videos! -D&E
Nice boat. Sold mine yesterday and now looking. The price difference between 2nd hand boats in the USA and Australia is just insane. I might have to import one?
Great video my friend 🙏🙏🥰🤗🤗
THE LIFE OF LAZ: Thanks Laz, been checking out your channel as well. Good stuff! -D
Thank you my friend 🤗🤗🤗
I was wondering what that kind of maintenance would cost? Like bottom coating $200-$300, cable replacement about $300-400, cowl paint $100....but what about annual registration and inspection? And don't you have to have the coast guard inspect the boat also?
Roland Feroty: So the bottom paint was 1K; annual service and replacement of the throttle cables $800; and the re-painting of the cowling was $375. Ahhh, the joys of boating..... Need a part time job to keep the boat in the water! :-) The Coast Guard inspection is not mandatory, but you are subject to inspection anytime they wish to board your boat. -D
😬
@@nickhall1376 😒
I keep mine in dry storage! lol Great videos.
Mark's Snakepit: Ha! That’s a rich mans dock! -D
@@FloridaFishingCouple lol
The worst time of the year for any boater? Sad day? One week? What are you guys talking about lol, all you did was tow it down the street and pay someone to perform annual maintenance on your rig lol.
If this is the worst time of year for you as a boater then you have it pretty easy ;)
The majority of boaters either don't have a choice for financial reasons, or sometimes even want to do the work their self, which would have cut your bill more than in half, and those that do have to have someone work on their rig, 1 week turn around is unheard of, try 3 to 8 weeks average turn around
A normal fishing trip for most around here is a 25, 50, 100, even 200 mile tow down freeways, highways, pulling 7k pound+ 26 to 32 foot boats, 2, 4 sometimes 6 hours on the road, traffic, lines at the ramp, etc.., EACH time they go fishing, just to get to the water.
You guys are cracking me up, towing it in to have someone else perform the work is the worst time of year lol.😂
Should have been titled "What most boaters only dream of when it comes to annual maintenance"
TxFishin we have done the boat maintenance ourselves for YEARS... I’m talking covered head to toe in black bottom paint, and boat engine fluid... so trust me - we know how fortunate we are that this year we found someone reliable to do the major stuff for us. We used this annual maintenance as an opportunity to support and highlight local businesses. If you watch our channel at all, you’d see that Captain Dan does allllll the other work - replacing transducer, replacing the water pump, lights, you name it! With how much we use our boat, the worst part the year is anytime we have to take it out of the water and be without it. Thanks for your comment and some insight into your perception. -Elizabeth
@@FloridaFishingCouple Just giving you guys a hard time ;) and show how lucky you guys are, one day without a boat is one day too long, one week turn around for all that work is crazy fast, you have a good service place there no doubt
Great videos and looking forward to watching more
Through the magic of TH-cam it seemed like your boat was gone for only 5 minutes
La Marc: Now that’s funny! Seemed like a year to me! -D
Nice 💪💪💪💪♥️♥️♥️
How much all of this cost.?
alee Nabeel: A ton! Well 1/2 ton actually! Total was about 2.5K. The throttle cables were the add on from the usual maintenance this year. -D
@@FloridaFishingCouple thanks mate! All These thing helps to educate guys like us.good luck and all the best we are waiting for tons of videos or 1/2 a ton of videos from both of you.cheers
Dan, Elizabeth is as Pretty as all ways, the boat is getting all prettied up, and then there's Dan (lol) what can you do for him??? Hmmmm this might get expensive,,, lol
Kenny Velez: Hahahah! True that Kenny, I am about due for my annual service as well! Gonna cost a bunch!! -D
That's only if you don't do the work yourself,.
