Standing under there with no stands is risky. I’m thinking about buying a Mariner so thanks for the videos. I would only have it on a lake. When are you getting another boat?
Well yes it’s risky but if it wasn’t safe the marina would have no allowed it. I did buy another boat. 26 foot glacier bay cuddy cabin and ford f250 to pull it. Florida
Hi friend. I am writing to you from Spain because I watch your videos on you a lot. I had a 40-foot Carver 350, from 1999, it has two Cumins x 250 hp diesel engines. I would like to know where I could buy parts such as the rudder or propellers and more accessories from Spain, thank you very much
Just fell in love with Carver 350 Mariner, starting to research, found your channel, watched a few of your vids and bam! you sold it! Wth bro!? Lol Why would you do this? This is the best boat out there at that price range. What didn’t you like about it?
Ahhhhh. Well....to answer that question is what you want to do in the water.????... if your starting research well......Well....... it's a lake boat. I was at anchor at anclote and it rocked 45 degrees. On the flybridge it was horrible. This boat has no room for a seakeeper. Ahhhhhhh. Think about what you want to do.
Yo. We are thinking about a newer 30 foot cobia probably April of 2021. I have a feeling that there will be lots of boaters unloading boats next year once COVID is under control. I might even buy an old hatteras for a complete restoration project. That would make for some good videos
Hey Tony, out of curiosity, what did you end up selling the boat for? As I may have mentioned in my earlier message to you, I have a 1999 Carver 350 Mariner. I just purchased it and I'm knee deep in troubleshooting and repairing many things that were neglected, so still hoping to lean on you for some wisdom and guidance. I too don't foresee this being my retirement boat, but I couldn't pass on the deal because it came with a slip which was in high demand. Congratulations on the sale and I"m really looking forward to your boat shopping adventures. Chat soon Captain :)
Thanks, I Had it under contract for 60k and reduced it a few thousand to fix a few items. Surprisingly there were no blisters on the bottom. These big boats have lots of small items that pop up. The biggest head turner I had was tracin down any electrical issues. Next time I would hire marine electricians and mechanics for quick diagnostics. Because it is so hard to trace back the route cause of problems. I hope you can sort out your issues. For me my main concern was to make sure engines, generator and ac were good, everything else was a honey wish list.
@@anthonygrasso8620 Thanks for reply. Ya, the engines and electrical are my main issues right now. None of the bilge pumps are working and I just noticed one of the bus bars in the engine compartment was completely corroded. The troubleshooting is definitely challenging. My plan is to have a professional diagnose and then I'll try to do repairs myself with fellow boat owner. Thanks and I'll be in touch.
Yesssss your back!!!!
I'm back with with a 26 foot glacier bay dual console glacier bay cuddy cabin
I been watching all your videos for a year. Saved up all my money and just bought this exact model cash. You inspired me!!!
Hey Tony, looking to buy the same boat. Just would like your input on it. Thanks

$250K will get you a NICE sport fisher-maybe a 34-38ft Luhrs ??
Tony,
How's the boat shopping going? What vessel are you looking to buy?
