A Wiley Sharp tour without a "pano"? I've been ribbing him so long I never expected to miss it!
That camera person has a super steady hand 😉👍
Good to see wiley sharp on the channel
Did I see Taylor waiting to get the camera back from Bobby?🤔😊❤
That would be a great new Cat for Sierra, Billy and Jetty. These Cat dealers should be fighting each other to give them offers.
As always great review Bobby, and excellent camera work Taylor 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Wiley's vids are the best! Thanks Doodles!
Wiley is a salesman who I don't get paranoid about. He seems solid, reliable.
I agree. Seems like he would not steer you into something you don’t want just to make a sale
Have dealt with Wiley. He’s a good and honest person who will always do the right thing.
The position of those dual helm seats are an open invitation to something horrific happening..... Imagine someone in rough seas, at night, on a crossing with swells rolling up behind the boat. They'd be completely unprotected and exposed with the water merely inches away.
Agreed.
Ok, not ideal for atlantic crossing, obv. But, you get better line handling and visibility. Lets face it, most people are gonna lightly sail her, and just park her somewhere beautiful. Its just a big extended vacation platform. Safety first? Buy a steel hull mono.
I watch a lot of sailing channels and I'm always amazed at how little time the sailors spend looking at the water directly in front of them. Logs, semi-submerged shipping containers and all sorts of things are out there, waiting patiently to be run into.
@@jimmarshall5453 Its a big ocean out there .
@@billhanna8838, true, and there's a LOT of crap in it, 99% of which isn't tracked. Perhaps we should make an effort to tag and track the large and dangerous debris in the seas just as we do even the tiny stuff in space, a tool or even a bolt.
Wiley Sharp is a good Dude!
Another CondoCat for the bareboat market. Thanks for doing these Bobby.
Wow.....Wiley Sharp gives a boat tour, never utters the words "quick pano." Guess I dont get to drink for the tour....
Very nice. Always cool to see different boats. Thank you.
So expected a surfing penguin to show up during that, salesman in bare feet so casual yet knows everything about the boat. No tyre kickers here. Taylor was that you at 10:12 nice cameo you made it twice in that vid lol, nice camera work by the way, dynamic duo
Bobby is in love! Nice catty!
I'm not a fan of those helms outside like that but thanks for the walk-through
Looks like a fair weather coastal cruiser. Not bad, if that is what you want/need.
Same, the visibility looks really poor.
lmao hell yeah wiley, my favorite broker. he needs to steal the camera and do a "pan-O" then end off like Christmas and say "oh hell you know the normal sign off"
Nice surprise to see Wiley in your video :-)
The buoate is sweet. Love the buoate!
Hi guys. Enjoying your work, thanks.
Bobby I wish you had this boat
The HELMS are in the wrong place, needs to be up higher to see ALL AROUND and you are missing a view forward and about 5 degrees port. The window covers a lot of it and you can't see thru it to good.
Good boat tour!
Nice Look see... Entertaining and informative!
Heyyyy Its Wiley sharp!!! Watch many many of his walk throughs on youtube, good score for your doodles chan.
A very nice Cat for the size!
Nice tour, thanks.
aft helms are fine on race boats but visibility suffers .during a stormy crossing it'd suck...no protection ..stove right over a stairway safety hazard....all things easy to fix but trends sell over function ...but its awesome to see Wiley
Agree, but those things are not so easy to fix.
Floating condo with a porch, thats a different type of sailing. I have nothing against a cat, I just feel a monohull is more romantic, the old ways of sailing the wind.
Hey, was that a split-second glimpse of Taylor?
Yes you did
sighting @ 9:22 - ?
@@drx1xym154 yup that was Taylor 😉
I think it was the body shapes that was the giveaway!🤩
I'm still waiting to win the Lottery hahahaahhahah
I would have liked to have seen how the engine rooms were set up but that's me most likely no one else would be interested.

check out SV Ruby Rose..they've been doing a series of cat reviews..they have a thorough 40 mins Excess review
I try to keep the vids to 12-15 minutes. Yes some serious buyers would be interested in a 40 minutes video but in general people would not. Stats show viewers prefer videos ~12 minutes long. If I a browsing yt and see something I am interested in but it’s 25 min long I usually skip it.
@@Sailingdoodles ...stats also show casual viewers prefer videos with click bait bikinis..that's marketing and all well and good but some of us like something more in depth ....good on you for hitting up Wiley..he's one of the best around
@@Sailingdoodles I understand one can only show so much in a fifteen minutes. You did a fine job thank you.
@@Sailingdoodles I know you guys are fixated on those metrics, but imo sailing channel viewers are an exception. We're practicing some escapism and vicarious living (I call it research). -We like longer vids.
Cool concepts.
Bobby's first question: "Yeah, but how many babes can I stow aboard?"
Are maintenance mondays still a go? Very nice presentation Bobby
Nice👍
Was just thinking about how the stoves are made so the stuff on top doesn't spill. Do they ever build beds like that? I've been watching a lot of these videos and it seems they move a lot because of rougher seas. Seems it could be a solution?
I'd love to have a Beneteau but NOT a Cat. Sorry Wiley, I'm the Roadrunner!
Get one!
You need to get him to say "Boat", more ...
Booat
Nice
Wow. I like it. It can be yours type Yes if u believe.
Is this boat suitable for world cruising?
I would never buy a boat with the stove next to the stairs. Even if I could afford it. Keep imagining a pot of boiling water slopping over somebody using the stairs.
That is a beautiful boat for sure but I think I like Nauti Dogs better, she has more... character!!!
HATE the aft helms!! Sure the cockpit’s bigger, but ya can’t see half of what’s ahead without moving to the other helm.
as far as cruising boats go I will never understand a double helm especially when they are both outside or at the far rear of the boat where a following c-can wipe you off the boat. space is at a premium here the h&h and gunboat design is the best put the helm in the middle of the salon with a safe sheeting and trimming area Forward around the mast.
Not fussed on the helm position
It looks like Beneteau is trying to clone a Seawind! The Ausies will give you a better designed cat for about $150k less

Waw there any real wood on that boat?
Good tour. I'd suggest not pointing the camera to you as you fill the frame and not the boat. When you are interviewing and someone is showing the features that works fine. Thank you!
Cut the check!
What happened to the doodles??
The dawgs were not invited to this boat tour!
The dawgs are on nauti - dawgs.
did he say 600 Grand for a 38 footer ?
I didnt hear Wiley say "pano"
Love many things about the Excess, hate the helm position. Lovely for docking, but for passage making it SUCKS
I like Bobby's boat 10x better that this one.
Mr Pano!!!
Nice boat but performance was not discussed much
Are you looking to buy a catamaran?
Me? Or Bobby? I'm not looking to buy any kind of boat, and Bobby's already bought a monohull. Pretty sure this is a paid advertising feature video.
Nice boat. I like NautiDogs better.
Nice but nothing like your boat.
Wheres Taylor?
Behind the camera
A cool 600k. Didn't that guy usta drive a mail truck. U know the one shacked up with that saucey brunette lawyer.
Half million for a 40 foot cat.....damn boats are pricey
Another pos...
SeaWind 1160 with outboards better)
🖒🖒🙌🙌
Dont know what you really think Bobby, but IMHO that is one poorly designed Cat! Totally no consideration for inclement weather with those helms and galley position. You would have to spend a lot to enclose adequately both helms, and probably further ruin the profile of the boat. Overall it looks very 'Ikea', but that is a boat I would not want to sail in Scandanavian conditions! For Catamarans, I think the helm position debate is best solved by a sports helm, still connected to the cockpit. If well positioned & designed, with a sports helm, you can see all 4 corners of the yacht, it is relatively easy to protect from weather/seas and secure the helmsman(person). Balance Cats have an excellent versahelm to solve the issue & Privilege have a superbly designed cockpit & helm position. To be honest, Beneteau do a good job with the helm on all but the flybridge versions of the Lagoons, no idea why they went with this Excess dual helm flawed design. I've sailed many Lagoons, and although a sluggish boat if
Bobby, I noticed a round can shape in your back pocket!!!! Please don't tell me you chew tobacco?????
Haha those are our boat stickers
@@Sailingdoodles Great to hear, Send one to: 6 Liberty St. Nashua NH 03060!!!
thats a cheesy boat.......i dont see much quality in that craft.......just sayn
