I’ve always heard that you don’t want a boat, you want a friend with a boat who will invite you along lol
🤣 hahaha this must be why none of our friends have boats they just come on ours!
@@naomireaves3742 Got room for one more?
A scientific fact of science
This strategy also wears thin. Always on some one else’s time.
That's exactly what we have
“Babe! What’s the towing capacity of my Tacoma? I thought you’d know.” This whole video is my marriage.
This is also the reason we are “boat rental people”.
We had two friends who co-owned the junkiest boat ever and named it the Thou Shalt Not Covet.
My parents always had a boat, grew up on the water making memories. Now I'm a father of 2 I've had one boat or another since I was 20. Couldn't imagine not owning one.
Right on brother, could not have said it better myself. For people who complain about the cost, you can't take it with you. Spend it now, or your adult kids will.
I bought a boat during Covid, just finished 2ed season and loving it.
I am thinking of getting a boat for this exact reason... Want to enjoy life a little. I have 2 jet skis, they are a lot of fun and if I add a boat the whole family can get out on the water...
The bit at the end about the water bottle was priceless 🤣
Actually it was about 12 bucks ;)
"Since you're a good customer, I'll only charge you double".
The main reason my father in law didn't finish building his house is because he bought a boat.
Lololol
you can live in a boat. cant sail a house
Smart man.
smart enough to notice that work for other people it is not enjoyable
You forgot the fueling the boat up on the water. Those boat gas stations are intense. Fastest 300 I've ever spent
I have a 14ft with a 15hp Mercury 4 stroke....3 gallons will last me damn near all summer!
@@penguin12902 fuck yeah bud
@penguin12902 yep. I'm about the same. 12' aluminum vhull and 9.9 mercury 4 stroke. 🚤🎣😊
"FYI I have a headache!!" 🤣
This was hilarious and true. Can you do travel trailers and RVs next?
YES
They already did
They did!
this is why our boats are kayaks, a lot less to break and comparatively cheep
I prefer canoes for the cargo capacity.
Intelligence overload
I bought a canoe and a tiny outboard engine. I still have a boat, but I won't go broke
@@mutilatedpopsicles 14 ft aluminum v-hull with a 15hp mercury 4 stroke. 3 gallons of gas lasts me dang near the whole summer :D
Well done! The boat ramp footage and editing was very impressive. To be able to script all of that, the different camera angles and on top of that do some of it while others assumedly were actually launching their boats. Much respect ✊ 😅
Boats can be a bit $$$ but they are super fun and they can make some amazing memories!
As a boating instructor, I get to see all of these steps, all the time! Well done!
My grandpa has a 1957 aluminum John boat that still runs perfectly fine. Never had a problem
The two happiest days in a boat owners life: The day you buy and the day you sell it. :)
came to post this
lmfao
Then you aren't using it right
You beat me to it!
and the day you get so fed up with it and "accidentally" forgot about the plug and then years later see it covered in mud in the former lake mead floor bed as people on utube are checking out the latest discovery 🤣
More of the boat service tech guy! His list was hilarious lol
I will never understand why the least qualified person in any group seems to be the one in charge of backing the boat into the water. I taught my friend real quick how to back the boat off the trailer and pull up to the dock safely to pick me up.
I bought my first sailboat in 1993. I've owned three. I didn't sell any because of this. I sold because someone offered more money than worth. So I sold and upgraded.
Love every minute of it.
Yep, some forms of boating are extremely cheap. I've got a jonboat that's got a 2000 Johnson and has had 0 problems I couldn't easily fix for $50-100. Total spent is under $3000 and I've had it for years. Use it 2-4 times a week. Buddy got a 1979 Catalina 22 for $3000 and we sailed all over the Chesapeake bay for a few years on it without issues. Not all boats fall under the B.O.A.T acronym. Really seems to be most true with the I/O lake boats and V drive boats that everyone wants for whatever reason.
"Just kidding, water is just $12" Bahahaha! 🤣🤣🇺🇲
Definitely a lot easier to get your boat in the water when you have a house on the lake. My uncle and aunt live in the house and our boats are docked with a simple lever system
My parents got a boat when my grandfather died. The boat was a lawn ornament for a long time. 😅
My cousins had a sign hanging in their camp. “A boat is a hole in the water, surrounded by wood, into which one pours money.” So true.
my first car has been the same way
That mechanic is why my boat has gone out only about twice this year. The water is a scary place for my wallet.
Two best days of boat ownership, the day you buy it, and the day you sell it.
Be about a thousand 😂😂 love the addition of the lisp!
As a boating family I CONCUR! 🥰
Aahah omg, he said "8%, way better than our house", I couldn't stop laughing.
I love Heidi’s enthusiasm, but I can’t really believe she said Yes!
The "hehehehe" in the bed was the foreshadowing he didn't pay attention to. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
It didn’t cost anything……………..today. 🤣
Omg this is facts!!! as I’m getting our boat ready to go for the weekend you forgot the best part trying to relax and all I hear all day is “dad can we tube now”
I think you can insert about any toy into this video and it would be the same. I keep debating on getting an side-by-side but then I wonder if it’s going to be a money hog! I had a camp trailer that was older and it seem to have problems all the time as well.
I drove around a Polaris ranger 400 for nearly 6 years daily. I worked maintenance for a large sub division and took it off road, over curbs, on streets. You will assume the normal wear and tear but honestly they are pretty simple to work on too. A lot of videos online. They are great to have for the utility aspect alone.
I’ve owned 4 boats and 1 side x side… so far, the side x side is a way better cost to value / fun ratio. I do love boats, but I’ve realized that I don’t necessarily love owning boats.
What can you even do with a side by side that is fun?
Man that last bit had me rolling... and then the last bit had me dying!
But seriously tho. This is why you always bring your own water and never buy beer at restaurants.
Had a used Bayliner Capri with a 125 Merc for three years, only in salt (Puget Sound, WA) not one problem. Loved that boat.
Had my boat for 7 years. Just bought a newer and bigger one. Always buy brand new, and get the warranty. Also never trailer your boat, park it at a marina so all you have to do is show up, and head out.
We own two trailered boats (sailboat and motorboat), I would HIGHLY recommend keeping them on trailer and learning to do your maintenance. The costs go from tens of thousands to a thousand. (Marinas are not a friend when it comes to money economy 😂)
@@BigmanHaus The last thing I care about with respect to boating is......money.
I love how the life jacket gets upgraded too 😂
My uncle gave us his boat. I did not want it. My mom was excited to get it. The boat requires a fair bit of cosmetic work but is in overall decent condition. Thing is, we don't have the time to go on any body of water and I'm more wanting a camper than a boat because at least the camper can be used as a temporary cabin if guests come over.
I'm hoping she'll see the light when she sees how expensive having a boat is. I don't want the boat.
Sounds like you need a bigger boat … you know …. For the occasional guest house
You guys are awesome. Keep up the great vids. Btw 1974 is not old! Lol
In boat years, that thing might as well have a mast with a pirate flag
@@jessediem3064 tell that to my 1974 Shamrock center console with 351W inboard that I still waterski behind. Maintenance wins.
Don’t forget the day before it goes up for sale. “Welp, this is it……all that time and money for this…..just cruising on the water……yep…..it’s windy, I’m cold, im done.”
"It didn't cost anything ..... today .... ..... " hahahahahaha
My buddy told me its cheaper to rent a sailboat. I explained to him the boat is mine the house belongs to my wife. She doesn't visit my boat unless i invite her down to it. We are very happy!
A friend of mine, who used to have a boat, always told me there are 2 great moments with owning a boat: the day you buy it, and the day you finally sell it.
It's like the old line "You only have two happy days when you own a boat, the first is when you buy the boat... the other is when you manage to sell the bastard."
Dude all the work into this video is great🤣🤣🤣
1974 is very old, take my word for it 😊 Your happy giggle always makes me laugh out loud ☀️
Dudes. Summer before last boat a 1986 boat with the lady.
I mean every single part was spot on. Except second boat purchase.
Nearly slipped laughing in the shower when the engine died in the water.
It all progressed just like that too for us.
This is all SO TRUE! But really, all toys are insanely expensive to upkeep.
There’s a difference between boaters and boat owners.
Great vid, reality of it though is it all depends on if you’re humble or not lol. My partner bought me a boat for Christmas this year, $500, 14ft fibreglass playmate, good overall condition and all still original. So far I’ve spent $250 on servicing and other minor repairs as required (2nd year apprentice mechanic). Looking at another $260 for boat and trailer rego and that’s it. Just something to go out fishing in and having a great day out with the fam. It’s all I could ever want. 100% will not be “bout another thousand” that’s for sure lol. If your humble you won’t break the bank, if your flashy and gotta have the best of it all then good luck to you lol
I got a family cottage in muskoka Canada. We still have a 1989 16ft charger with reinforced transom, 150xr2 racing engine from a tunnel hull race boat it’s got the 250 modVP lower unit with high flow racing prop, hot foot so you can drive with two hands and a custom gas tank because the engine chews gas. It does 87 mph and tosses water 150ft. We just got the lower unit rebuilt and it’s starting to become very hard finding parts for it. I hope pops passes or down to me so I can take it further with a custom paint job hydraulic lift and tilt and a brand new updated interior. I’ve been boating now for 35 years almost every weekend I can.
The 2 happiest days of your life. The day you bought the boat and the day you sold the boat.
I’ve been a boater since 2005 and because I maintained my boat I didn’t break down all the time like people do. When I buy a boat I go through it and replace a the stuff that wears out. Like my last boat before I even put it in the water I put a new alternator, starter, water pump, sea pump, belt, 2 batteries, rebuilt the carb, new fuel pump, plugs and wires, coil, bilge pump and keep the old one for a spare incase of emergency so it’s set up to be used immediately, the rubber bellows and because I do all this maintenance I don’t break down on a Saturday afternoon and ruin the day but 99% of boaters do absolutely zero maintenance then complain when it breaks down.
So true, a lot of people buy a boat without educating themselves what maintenance it requires... and they arrive on the ramp only to find out the boat will not start or crank because the battery is weak. Simple common sense would have save your day by making sure to start the boat before heading to the marina.
Maintenance is the key! My dad was right.
Yup!
Great editing, very fast cuts, funny and never boring!
That feeling of getting out on the boat before it breaks is amazing!
My last Sea Ray (21 ft) was burnt in the Beachie Fire at Detroit Lake, Oregon. Burning material landed in the marina.
Yo, this video got me dying laughing... I just bought a boat and went through all the steps. I almost choked laughing with the gas part...
I bought a used boat this past April. It proceeded to snow almost the entire month after that. This was followed by very warm temps and the snow run off made many area waters too high and fast to land the thing. Now it hasn't rained for a month and the water levels are too low at many landings. Buy a boat, it's an exciting experience!
I’ve had my boat almost 20 years. I put about 200 hours on my boat a year. I can’t imagine life without it.
The boat mechanic is my favorite character you do lol
It can be pricey, yes. But owning a boat is one thing I wouldn't give up until/unless I have to. So far, so good.
The two happiest times with boats are when you buy a boat and when you sell it😂😂😂
You forgot the neglect stage where it rots in your driveway for years and you avoid looking at it. 😂😭
Get a sailboat, I lived on one for 5 years, great investment!
I’ve always heard that the two best days of boat ownership are the day you buy it and the day you sell it.
I’ve been a witness to the frustration of owning a boat since age 4, dad bought a 77 Bertram with 2 engines and stern drives, outdrive service is a thousand, trailering and winterizing is about a thousand, A full tank of gas is over 700 bucks, everything is about a thousand. Anyone here thinking about buying a boat get one with outboards or inboards, stern drives are money pits
Im not yelling, I'm just instructing loudly 🤣
love the repair man " that will be a thousand " same guy at the R.V. shop must be next to each other.... boats, r.v. ,, auto, or home ALWAYS take a trusted repair person with you ..be VERY criticle of every part and parcel, write it down then take time to determine cost of repair..IF the selling party gets mad or tries to rush you RUN not walk away, its a bomb waiting to explode.
Just seein ya'll at Horsetooth is hittin the feels!🤣 Miss that place! Tay def rocks the mustache!
I thought it was horseshoe! My hubby & I camped there for 2 weeks one summer (fulltime RV travelling) and the cars in the background driving by as they are "discussing" why the boat isn't running gave it away!
"$265, hopefully for the year." 🤣
I have been in the marine industry for a long time… Amazing how accurate. I still see this 🤣🤣🤣 good job 😂👍🏼
🤣 This is awesome!🤣
You must be some type of boater because you nailed it! haha
I died laughing at the repair guy that’ll be about 1000 so accurate
Oh shit.. hahaha I love it. You’re speaking to us guys. My wife and I just got a boat and that was the last month summed up in minutes 😂😭
Holy smokes this is spot on, thankfully I did all maintenance and repairs on my boat, but now she’s someone else’s burden… $300 a trip for fuel HURTS
To be fair, my John boat can’t into big open waters like that style boat, but $20 in gas & 2 stroke oil and I can go out for the next month 💁♂️
I like creeks and lakes anyways.
YESSSSSSS AMAZING I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!! ITS SO ACCURATE!!!!😂😂😂
Lmao wooh full 265.00 hopefully for the year.
🤣 Another thousand?
"i don't like it" buddies life nearly died for a sec
I still remember that beautiful summer day on Halifax Waterfront, I watched a couple trying to back their boat into the water.
It was painful to watch but they eventually mamanged to do it without break anything (all the watchers include me was holding our breath), only to find out that the engine won't start. Then they painstakenly get the boat back to the trailer and drive back…
Omg ,so funny. Love your video.
Picked up a boat and trailer out of the weeds of some dudes back yard for $300 with paperwork only into it about $800 worth of small stuff!
If I get to use it once I can still say I only paid $300! 😂
forgot the drain plug. i love watching couples moore and dock
My favorite part of the boating season is watching new boat owners fail miserably loading and unloading the boat. I've watched people drag their outdrive up the ramp because they forgot to trim it up, lol.
Boat is an acronym: Bust Out Another Thousand. Unless you make your living on the sea, its just a giant floating moneypit.
Im a boat mechanic and 𝖎 can confidently say “i would never buy 𝔞 used boat”😂
Cool boat with the 454!
The best two days about owning a boat, the day you buy it, and the day you sell it
"Why did you buy a 1992 boat? You said we're on a budget." 🤣😂🤣
I had a 28 foot ocean boat I felt that about a thousand personally and I just bought parts and fixed it myself 😂
I feel like you almost have to be able to work on it yourself, otherwise you'll never get to use it. When something goes wrong, even if you have the money to pay a shop -- the summer will be over before you get your boat back.
5 minutes after it's in the water: "uh-oh it looks like it's overheating". Because every used boat has a cracked block.
I'm no boat owner, but I've been a human long enough to know we get bored of stuff. So I'd bet there's at least another 2 stages in there:
6: the novelty wears off
7: regret
I kept waiting to hate this, never did. Good work 😂
"I did a thing!" 💀
Love this and the owning an RV one. You guys should make one about owning an airplane!!!! $1000 a washer that damn thing!
Lollllllll. And ya those Malibu wake boats r sweet
We had a plaque on our boat that said “A boat is a hole on the water into which you throw money”. Great boat, but also glad not to have the trailer backing arguments anymore!
"Says it has 93000 hours. That's not a lot is it" 🤣
And then it will sit in the driveway for 11.5 months of the year... Right next to the trampoline that you see in everybody's yard that's never being used...
That’s too funny. Got to give you a sub. Can’t wait to see more
