I think this is the first video of yours I've watched, and I really enjoyed it. Very nice tour of a lovely boat. Well done, and I love the casual vibe of the video. Keep up the good work!!
One suggestion, please show more of the things Ally is talking about, I often wanted to see the thing she mentioned but the camera was on her and not on the feature. Or, when the feature was shown it was off to the side and difficult to see. Thanks for the video!
Great video! It brought back memories of my family's Silverton 392 that we had in the early 2000s. One of the best memories was a family trip where we left a harbor near Chicago crossed Lake Michigan into Lake Huron, then through the Soo Locks in St Marie, MI into Lake Superior, and ending up in the Apostle Islands near Bayfield, WI. Thanks for bringing back such great memory of the Silverton.
We love this one! By far our favorite. We have learned so much about the Yacht life watching your channel. You point out so many good points. Thanks for the tour. Paul & Magen
Little fact. The halon system is nice. Must remember that although halon itself is not poisonous, the chemicals left over after it’s extinguished a fire are. So if you do go down after you’ve put out a fire have oxygen with you. (It’s not really poison as much as carbon monoxide I think). Also that’s halon 502 I think. Newer generations of halon may have fixed that issue. Great video!
In your opinions which boat you looked at is the best for build quality and reliability? This is with any maintenance being done regularly. Silverton seems to be a more value driven boat. How is its build quality?
We are interested in buying a 40' power boat for outings in outings in Puget Sound. 40' seems like a good size to take my wife, me and one of one of our married adult kids on a several day get away several times per year. With your experience, it would be interesting to get your feedback on: Can you buy a reliable boat for $100,000 or less? What are essential things that a boat should have when we purchase or upgrade it? What is a good way to buy a boat like this? How do you go from no boat skills to enough skills to feel comfortable taking the boat out for your first excursion?
Hi Leo. Great questions! Can you learn on a 40'? Well we met a guy this weekend who bought a 4087 as his first, but he also drove a caterpillar for a living. We do recommend taking a power squadron course. Yes, you can find a 40' under $100k, but it might need work. Diesel engines last up to 5000 hours or way more, compared to gas, which only last about 700 hours. So when you look at an older boat, definitely get diesels. We had our broker spend a little time, but not enough. Check out our first video and blog post about it. Good luck!
washer and dryer LOL why bother moving onto a boat, I had been the the panama canal a dozen times before I turned 20, sailed to Easter Island and Argentina when I was 22, lived and cruised aboard a boat for over 20 years and I never had a washer and dryer. These people aren't boaters and they aren't looking for a boat they are landlubber meaning looking for a floating RV. this boat is nothing more than a floating RV and built about as well, it's not a real boat as it couldn't handle anything other than fair weather, the single helm tells you that. No lower helm station means that you are stuck on a fly bridge regardless of the weather and that sucks big time, when the weather turns the last place you want to be is on the fly bridge as every movement of the boat is amplified exponentially meaning you're going to be getting tossed around like a rag doll up there. when I look at a boat, I can care less about something like a washer and dryer I want to make sure that the boat will keep me alive if the weather turns bad.
Every boat is different. You do have to pay moorage, mortgage, insurance, maintenance, repairs, fuel, etc. Depending on the size of your vessel and the particular marina, your costs will vary.
Odd layout, one thing about doing a tour, it's a given that these boats have tons of storage, but we don't really need to see every bit of it,we know it's there,just a hint,stay healthy.
Why not buy a REAL housebot= 60 feet by 14 feet or longer? You can buy a bowrider for fishing/fun... You can get the hull for these large HB's fixed for saltwater..cheaply
The houseboats here are on Lake Union and Portage Bay. They are very regulated and it is difficult to find moorage for them. We have MANY permanent houseboats, but they are very expensive too. We like to travel up to Canada and a bowrider won't get us there. Thanks for your feedback!
@@BoatingJourney yea... I didn’t include that the content is great. I follow many boating lifestyle youtube channels. Your journey for finding your next live aboard is great. Hope you didn’t find my comment harsh... it was meant to be helpful.
I have seen several of your videos, this was not your best work. It's nice to hear you narrate and describe the vessel, but please keep in mind that your intent is to show a boat, not the narrator. The narrator should hardly ever be visible - instead show what the narrator is describing, to give a better overview of the boat.
Thank you for watching our videos, we appreciate your feedback. Keep in my our purpose is to find a liveaboard and the features we want. These are not necessarily boat tours, but rather our exploration on the boat. Thanks again :)
It's to bad you show her instead of the features you are talking about. Such as when you talk about the wine bottle cut outs, you saw them, we saw her. Maybe in the future, keep that in mind. You are showing a yacht. This is not a video about you two.

Gorgeous yacht
Thanks for watching!
Where has thus boat been my entire life there is honestly nothing I would change about this boat
It was such an awesome boat!!!

Thanks for your feedback. We hope now over the years, we are doing better.
Been a liveaboard on a Silverton 362 for 5 years. It checks all my boxes.
That is so cool!!
u still live on it?
@@poker4080 still here.
@@charlesdavenport2543 ;pretty awesome!! im looking to get something soon and try it out, seems like a peaceful way to live!
We have a 99 352 really enjoying our Silverton. I too enjoyed seeing all the storage options in this boat. Thanks for showing.
Awesome!!

Awesome! It really is a great boat! Thanks for watching!
Great for guests, but not great enough that they stay too long! I love it!!
I love this boat. So much room for a 39
Right?! Thanks for watching 😁

You are too kind! Thank you so much!
Great video....my wife and i just bought a 1998 502/46 MY Silverton...brought it around from Detroit to Grand Haven Mi on Lake Mi. Love the boat!!!!
Thank You!! That is awesome! Probably exactly what we're looking for. Thanks for following us!
Fantastic job of showing a boat love the way you two took the extra time to open draws and and engine access and stepping into the showers.
Thank you so much!!
Great presentation, fantastic teamwork 🥉🏅🥈
Thank you so much 😊
Very nice... Love the layout...
Glad you like it!
Thank you, great video!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you!!!!
I love the way you explain things. So nice video and practical. I enjoy watching your videos.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for watching!
@@BoatingJourney you are very welcome
this video is very well done great job its like we are frends just haning out looking at a boat
Thank you so much 😊 we appreciate you watching it!
Like Arek, this is the first video of yours I've watched. Very well done, really enjoyed the content and review. Thanks!
Thank you so much Brian! We really appreciate your feedback and following us! Cheers!
That was a great tour! I thought this might be the one...beautiful boat and affordable.
Keep up the good work!
Thank YOU so much!!
these people really have a way with convincing themselves, good luck your going to need it
Why do you feel you need to be so rude?
This is the first for us too. But really help full we are looking to up size our 32. Thank you
You are welcome! Thanks for watching and good luck 👍
Thank you. Great video.
Thank you so much!
Very nice boat tour. I just subscribed.
Thank you so much 😊
good video! Very clean boat
Thank you 😊
If you like that, you should check out the 453 Silverton
Awesome! We will. Thanks for the tip Paul!
I never purchased any more boat than I'm willing to keep clean LOL
What’s a good affordable starter boat? 61 years young. Wife and I have never owned before. Either San Diego or Maine ports. Thank you
When is the Seattle boat show each year? Thanks Alex
Normally the last weekend in January for 9 days
My partner and I owned the same yacht, in Petaluma,ca
It was a fantastic yacht!
look at Silverton 442 Cockpit Motor Yachts. I don't know how long they made them, but I liked those the most out of the Silverton Motor Yachts.
Awesome 👌thanks for the tip and for watching!!

How many times did she yell : "WOW" ?
In your opinions which boat you looked at is the best for build quality and reliability? This is with any maintenance being done regularly. Silverton seems to be a more value driven boat. How is its build quality?
Hi Ed, we're still figuring that out. But by far our favorite has been the Navigator, even for the price.
The biggest challenge with this boat is the wheels are exposed, no keel to protect them
This boat with no thrusters and being high will sale in any wind over 6knots and be handful to dock.
Exactly. One of the reasons it wasn't for us. Thanks for watching!

@@BoatingJourney thanks!
We owned a Silverton 350, great yacht, we loved ours but on PNW windy days it was like flying a kite. Do you still have your Bayliner?
We sold the Bayliner (it too was like a sailboat on a windy day)....now looking for a liveaboard or project boat. Thanks for watching!
@@BoatingJourney us too, so living through your videos. And, we could be neighbors in the Caribbean 😊
How high are the feelings in these types of boats ? I’m 6’2 Thinkin about getting one for a live aboard
Scott is 6' 1 and he had good clearance!
13:50 (ish) I heard an Uf Da ... I'm grinning
❤❤❤
If only it had a spot for a stackable washer / dryer this would be the perfect live aboard.
So true!
washer and dryer LOL why bother moving onto a boat, I had been the the panama canal a dozen times before I turned 20, sailed to Easter Island and Argentina when I was 22, lived and cruised aboard a boat for over 20 years and I never had a washer and dryer.

Well laid out but my god is that aesthetically unpleasing from the outside lol
We totally agree with you!!!
Stick with the Bayliner .
What are the monthly expenses for living on a boat?
Every boat is different. You do have to pay moorage, mortgage, insurance, maintenance, repairs, fuel, etc. Depending on the size of your vessel and the particular marina, your costs will vary.
What year?
Hi Van. This was a 2000
How is that only 39ft 🎖🎖🎖
It sold last week and it was listed at $139k
Could you show more of the boat and not her w/ your next video.
Yes, Mark we've heard that from this video and our latest videos are much better. Thank you for watching!
The engines were 3116, or 3126, just sayin. Prob around 350hp rated.
Yes, we show the specs at the end and they are 3116. Thanks for watching!
No washer/dryer
True, but they had space for one. Thx for watching!
How much?
$139990
You can easily find a SeaRay 370 aft cabin that is slightly nicer with way more options for under 100K.
Odd layout, one thing about doing a tour, it's a given that these boats have tons of storage, but we don't really need to see every bit of it,we know it's there,just a hint,stay healthy.
Thanks for your input! cheers!
Show it all please.
Silverton, found sunk at the dock. junk
Not this one. This is a great yacht in perfect condition 👌

Show more of the boat during your videos. You seem to focus in on your wife instead of what she is talking about I.e., the boat.
Thanks for your feedback! We're still learning! Cheers!
Camera needs a lot of work. Often times, describing something and the camera is focused on the speaker and not the item being discussed.
Thanks Robert. We appreciate your feedback. We're still learning ;)

@@robertshirkey3758 Not at all. Thanks for watching!
Good job showing the boat ... but, not a pretty boat. Keep your Bayliner
Thank you 😊
@@J0EYbagaDONUTS my first boat was the 2655 CB...great boats!! thanks for watching!

Thanks for sharing.
Something’s wrong with your guy, you point to a feature to show us and the guy keeps filming you, he maybe in love with you.
We heard that, so we have fixed that in other videos
How annoying that you go to show a feature but zoom in on her instead. I couldn't stand to watch anymore
Interesting that it's been one that we have had the moat compliments
