Wow, I just found your channel as you were building the minivan, and I look forward to going back to watch your old videos while catching up with the new. Subscribed.
Showing the upgrades you do in your different homes is definitely interesting. I enjoy hearing the plans and seeing them once they are completed. The out of the box thinking to solve unique problems is great.
This is Sweet! I’m excited to follow along! I started watching your channel in 2019 because I saw your bus at your parents house when I was selling pest control door to door, I’ve loved watching your videos ever since! Good luck with is new adventure bro!
I had a yacht cruiser 46 footer. Very nice boats. You can call the manufacturer with any questions and they will take care of you. Good luck and enjoy your time in the water.
Subbed! Boat life is an upgrade in my eyes from van life, similar, but your boat can access places a van will never go! Some glassy anchorage at midnight . . .
We are super excited for you Brandon looking forward to the new adventure. Props to your dad for launching that boat with a F-150 that takes big🥜 smart move engaging the trailer brakes!
I had sailboats in San Diego california. And I lived on all four of them. Sailed them out in the Pacific to Catalina Island down south into Mexico, it was one of the greatest times that I've ever had in my whole life!
Congratulations!! I'm excited and really looking forward to seeing how you personalize this boat to your liking and to see what adventures you'll be taking us all on with you!! It's a really really nice boat 🚤 Brandon! Again congratulations on your purchase!🥰❤❤❤❤
A new adventure for you Brandon. I know about boats because be dad used to own sailboats when he was alive. I have seen the bottom of boats before. Congratulations on the boat. Love seeing your adventures Brandon. ❤❤❤❤❤
Hey Brandon!! Congrats on the new boat! It’s beautiful! 🛥 😃 Can’t wait to see it when you’re done fixin it up! Have fun and stay safe on your new adventure!! 🥰🤩
I had a cruisers yachts quite some time back and overall i enjoyed it. the motor and outdrive setup on it was a Cobra and i will never own anything with a cobra motor on it again. Super happy for you and wishing you the best! If you haven't already done so i would put together a compartment of spare engine parts... belts, impellers and gaskets... Enjoy! subbed and waiting for more boat content!
I have only just found your channel it is obvious you are very excited about becoming a boat owner. And perhaps even more excited about getting the sound system set up .
Just started following you when you did the cave with the young lady……and now just catching this video love all the diff content keep up the awesome work
Love it ❤ well done Brandon Love how you just go for it whether you might fail or not your so motivated and you never fail to inspire me ❤ thank you for another awesome video
I've been watching you, Sarah, Nikita and a few others for a bit now. Watching you guys, I've thought that van life would be a pretty cool lifestyle, but I've always thought that if I ever lived anywhere else other than my house, it would probably be on a boat. I think you are going to have a lot of fun in your new home! Very nice boat!
Logistics specialist here. You can send it the way it is but it is probably cheaper to remove it. Being that all you would have to have pilot cars with feeler gauges and they would have to go over every overpass.
those two outdrives are going to be a big problem for a liveaboard...... your inexperience is showing, and its going to cost you big$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. You got me hooked.
Boat life is the best. I miss it. I lived on a 2 story houseboat on Lake Shasta for 5 years. Best days of my life. I Got Married and had to give it up for a home. Hopefully, soon I can convince the wife we need a houseboat to spend our summers on. I know the kids would be all for it. Enjoy it while you can. Time flies. Always check the hose fittings and clamps in the engine compartment. All it takes is one loose hose clamp to sink a boat. Put extra automatic bilge pumps. They are cheap investments. I also put a water level alarm. If the water in the hull exceeds the preset depth a loud alarm would go off. I never had an issue but it helped me sleep well at night knowing I had all those safety precautions. There is a TH-camr "B for Build" whose yacht sank because of a single hose coming loose and he had no warning.
Welp, this is different! lol Congratulations Brandon...how fun, well except for taking that thing off! Good catch! I would also be putting in a whole new subwoofer system...gotta have that bass baby!
Super stoked to see you happy. This is going to be rad to watch. Does the boat have a bathroom on it? No more bottles? That’s what I call a come up. 😂 hell yeah brother. ✌️
Very true, that’s what most ex-boat owners said. To add on, they said the boat is like a lady… always wet below! However, the wet bottom of the boat is dangerous especially when one is far out in the sea. Then some older saying goes… “always have both feet on the ground if want to feel safe”. So here’s my verdict after I got my van camper…. I feel safe when I can just brake and stop if I’m coming into danger and if my car steering malfunction I can leave the car where it is and walk home. I remember I was screaming like hell when my boat steering hydraulic failed and at that precise moment I’m passing under the bridge!!! Now…. no more boat for me….haha
your doing it right my buddy! just pulse the controls calm and relaxed :), now you can explore the world,convert your boat to gas/electric hybrid for some really long range, then again a great battery and electric motor with a couple solar panels would take you where ever gas free anyways :)
It’s always funny to me when people wake up and say good morning when we all know they already were awake and put up the camera back in bed and then said good morning. I just think that’s funny to me.
Boat life... I can dig it! 😎 Don't know if I would've gotten one quite that big though, that thing is _huge!_ Anyway, I'm here for it... Been considering getting some kind of boat myself, as it's kind of a sin to live along the Ohio River in our area and not have a watercraft of some sort, and my kayak doesn't count. Lol
Never run a generator where’s there no shore power with the exterior enclosure closed even with the blowers running ,,, my mom and grandma were calling my uncle 41 big healthy man no answer they went down to the boat , found him dead in the cabin of the boat autopsy revealed carbon monoxide poisoning ,,, this man was on the Great Lakes since 8 years old to 41 ,, very experienced boater , carbon monoxide rolled back down into the cabin
I always considered living on a boat (remember the 1980's TV show Quincy?). But it is hard to find an liveaboard slip and the slip fees where I want to live is prohibitive ($400-$1k) for a 40 footer.
New subscriber here I just love ur content. I'm so happy I stumbled across ur channel. Anyways keep up the great work and much love to ya brother from Maryland❤❤❤.
Nice!!!! Wtheck you gonna make us wait to see the inside? You’re not right in the head and need a time out mister. ❤I just know it will be amazing. I’ve seen all your other vehicles so I know what you are capable of. ❤
Just found your channel today! Growing up around boats and boats on trailers I was immediately freaking out when that F150 started pulling that boat. Just because something didn't go horribly wrong, please never do that again. They put tow ratings on trucks for a very good reason. Anyone with a HD truck would've done the job without the white knuckles and clenched butthole in this perfectly executed launch attempt. Knowing nothing about you I assume you chose the location for your boat based on the proximity to your parents house, Otherwise it you aren't tied down I'd be heading down the Intracoastal with that thing to Florida for the winter months or a permanent home base. New subscriber so I can see what you do to the boat and where you take it. Enjoy!
Haha it was definitely sketchy launching with the f150! But all went well! I’m not tied down to anywhere and would love to have the boat in Florida for the winter but I just don’t know if I want to put this boat in salt water
Wait Brandon 🛑. I go from a ProMaster to a Toyota sienna last week. I was just thinking about your van and researching houseboats yesterday. Now I turn on the tubes and see this? Man after my own heart 😂😂
Does this mean you won't be coming to Mooresville NC? I once rented a house boat for a week in Fort Myers Florida. We had to use a dinghy to get to shore. It was an adventure for sure.😊

Congratulations! I am so happy for you!!! I can't wait to see the boat once you finish.
You are SO blessed to have family that help you with your projects. Family that plays/works together, stays together!
Couldn’t imagine life without them. Very thankful 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
hell yeah! I have a wife and kids so im living vicariously through your channel, thank you Brandon/skipper.. cheers
Oh wow, Brandon! That boat is so nice! I can’t wait for the next video to see the interior all fixed up. Much more impressive than my little kayak 😆

Looking forward to your new adventure in life. This should be a very interesting follow along for sure.
I have only just found your channel it is obvious you are very excited about becoming a boat owner.
And perhaps even more excited about getting the sound system set up .
Haha sound system is the most important part of a boat😂. Thanks you following a long!
Have fun with the boat, make sure to use it. Take it places and make memories.
I’ve been using it a lot!
The acronym for boat
Bring
Out
Another
Thousand
Hahaha well at least that’s how we felt with all the different boats we’ve had … Best Wishes.
It’s so true haha
YEAH BUDDY. Bro, next time you're in Albuquerque hit me up. Would love to meet you brotha.
Just started following you when you did the cave with the young lady……and now just catching this video love all the diff content keep up the awesome work

Looking forward to the full tour of your new digs; And seeing wot you do to it.
Going to post a full tour video soon!
I've been watching you, Sarah, Nikita and a few others for a bit now. Watching you guys, I've thought that van life would be a pretty cool lifestyle, but I've always thought that if I ever lived anywhere else other than my house, it would probably be on a boat.

New subscriber, from a boat owner you made it look easy on your first time.
Very exciting! Love boating, this will be a fun project!
Can't wait!
Man, this is so sweet. I am so jealous of this. I kind of want to do this for a month one summer. Maybe travel the great lakes?
What a great adventure!! I'll be watching you... ❤
Thank you!
Nice job brother. Congratulations on the boat life.!!
Thank you!!
Trust that the inspection was worth it in the end.
Yeah the peace of mind was worth it
Absolutely Beautiful!!! Wish ya the Best!!! God bless and keep Safe!!
Thank you!

The two happiest days of a boat owner’s life are the day they buy it, and the day they sell it…;) Enjoy the next chapter dude! Looks fun.
I sold my smaller boat and bought this one within 24 hours of each other, so I was extra happy haha
No way I love my sail boat it makes me happy
Not true at all boats are way simpler to repair then a car.
Not true I sold my 19 ft century center consol and can't wait till I move to Florida and get a new boat.. $$$$ going bye bye...
Exactly man just wait this guy will be sleeping and wake up ten feet under the water
I build boats for a living, 25 plus years. I would love to have a project like this to work on. Nice
Nice one "Skipper"...!
Been waiting for the video buddy nice keep it up
More to come!
This is awesome, boats are great content! You're going to learn a LOT!
wow amazing love watching your vlogs see what u bin up to x
i grew up on boats the last boat we had was 27 fot bayliner, dad imported it from the states. Miss those days
I used to have a 26 foot bayliner when I was younger! I love being on the water.
those two outdrives are going to be a big problem for a liveaboard...... your inexperience is showing, and its going to cost you big$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. You got me hooked.
Follow along to find out
i have seen lots of videos on van builds, am interested to see how a boat builds shapes up. especially for a live-aboard full time
After you get that boat fixed up, you can invite Sarah on alittle trip with you. It'll be fun. :)
We'll see, I'll have to convince her to leave the pacific northwest!
Ton's of work!
If uou're not
ready to take on
Responsability,
do Not get a Boat!
Alot of work & $$
equal's
Alot of fun &
great memories.
You kids today are so funny. Let’s prioritize the stereo system. 😊

Super stoked to see you happy. This is going to be rad to watch. Does the boat have a bathroom on it? No more bottles? That’s what I call a come up. 😂 hell yeah brother. ✌️
No more peeing in water jugs!!!!
A) your dad is a BOSS!!!!
2) that launch was sketchy. Very impressive 😝
haha thank you! I was nervous!
New Sub. ….I’m Loving Watching This Whole Boat/Home Episode, Watching The Newest Episode After This One.🤗
I call climbing into small spaces to work on the boat “boat yoga”.
As much as I MISS the ambulance I'm soo excited for you! 💛

Go get yourself a boat and meet me on the river!
I woke up with the aft cabin windows a few feet under water , in the slip at the marina , was absolutely terrifying, the water was up to the bed
Absolute nightmare fuel.

Thank you so much!! Always appreciate the support ❤

If it a good motor set up only need 1 motor unless both start at same time make 1 controlled of switch
Looking forward to the new adventures! Go Brandon go!

Haha it's too much of a mess! But Soon!!
I haven't seen the attempt yet with the F150 but damn that's just way too risky. But once he puts the hat on backwards it's all speed ahead. Oof

@@BrandonGross The way you get your boat to FL is to sell this one and buy one in FL.
@@davecisneros5285 haha 1000%. That’s the smart thing to do
Awsome idea to sleep over in the boat vs sleeping in a vehicle !!!
Wait Brandon 🛑. I go from a ProMaster to a Toyota sienna last week. I was just thinking about your van and researching houseboats yesterday. Now I turn on the tubes and see this? Man after my own heart 😂😂
haha that's wild!!
Does this mean you won't be coming to Mooresville NC?
I once rented a house boat for a week in Fort Myers Florida. We had to use a dinghy to get to shore. It was an adventure for sure.😊
