- it's the biggest boat we've reviewed to date. It's a 78-foot 1984 Alden Palmer Johnson 78. It was a delight for us to see such a large, comfortable boat that is really well thought out. Now her price is a bit above our regular target but we figured it would be worth seeing

Hey crew. RanDay got hit with the Covid this past week
It would be great if you sent him good wishes for a speedy recovery
Will do.
BTW, re: that "translucent" thing that you always seem to get backwards. "Lucent" refers to light and "trans" to through; therefore, translucent means only light travels through this material.
And when you hear "transparent" think of "...parent" as in apparent. Therefore transparent means that things that are apparent (viewed) travels through this material.
You can see things through transparent material but you can only see light through translucent material.
Thank you. I do get confused when the article is heavily tinted Oh well. Thanks for your effort
Best wishes for a speedy and complete recovery RanDay!
Absolutely! Get well soon RanDay and hope its a very mild case...Take fella's and thanks for the great vids.
Get well soon Ran-Day. Sorry you are under the weather.
The knowledge this man has of ships, sailing and accessories will always have me sitting with my mouth hanging open. Respect
That would be an incredible live aboard sail the world with family and friends.beautiful!!
That’s the spirit!!
Seriously stunning 😍!
nice to see somethng completely different from usual..., like a class field trip. Shows you what all the "little" boats aspire to be.
Wow is an understatement. You guys are a lot of fun to watch.
Great find, Captain!
Palmer Johnson is where I had my graduation party from college. They were commissioning Kialoa 3. I had already committed to buying a boatyard and used them as my benchmark for quality. Amazing workmanship that is now lost.
that's a bummer... they produced some amazing vessels over the years.... fun to see Kialoa 3... would love to see her on the water again
@@YachtHunters This made me cry. That was just an amazing yard in its heyday. Pat Haggerty gave them any capital they needed to improve processes and quality. Mike Kelsey ran it with such enthusiasm. Everyone, right down to Helen, the receptionist was so excited about the boats and their place in the sailing boom. Flawless joinerwork and, at the time, the best aluminum fabrication available... all gone.
What a steal for such a beautiful yacht! Thanks for sharing with us. I hope the new owners properly explore the world with her.
Captain Q as an RC pilot you peaked my interest when you mentioned your RC sailboats. How about an episode featuring your RC boats?
YES!!
we would love to i have been involved with the 1930s J boat rc fleet these are magnificent 8' long with ten foot spars and weigh about 100#
@@YachtHunters Really looking forward to that video
It's spelled piqued, not "peaked".
@@harbourdogNL gosh, thanks bub!
What a wonder boat. Sea Dog was sniffing that winch like Rin Tin Tin had left his scent on it. LOL 😂 What a magnificent boat. Thanks 🙏
sea dog sniffs out the good stuff :)
Captain Q , you are the ROCK STAR of the sailing world. I’ve never been on a sailboat. Don’t think I will ever be on a sailing vessel. However ,I love your vids . Thank you and you and Ran Day keep up the good work. T.J. Cincinnati.
Thsnks th but do give it a try. I know you have a river nearby and even a few big ponds. Go small and get the bug
Wow!! What an amazing boat! Yes it’s expensive but the value is definitely there.
With that size it makes me wonder what speeds it’s capable of.
You guys make a great team. Your videos are always must see as soon as I see a new one. Thanks for all you do
Double digits more often than you might imagine
Gorgeous, top of the line in every way!❤
Glad you like it!
What a masterpiece! Thanks for showing us around.
you 're welcome
That’s was a great boat tour and gym session in one episode. Good job 😃
Whew
I love this one. This is the best boat you have shown.
Wow! That's all I can say. Just Wow. Oh, and thank you gentlemen for showing a beautiful yacht.
Thanks Matt
The "booty shot" comment got me in stitches. 😂☠️
You two are such a great comedy duo. Never change!
Fun to see a boat of this size and caliber. Thanks for going off course a bit.
our pleasure and thank you for watching
My boat has 4 dorades, two facing forward, two facing aft. I believe air going over the aft ones creates a partial vacume which helps pull air through the bow dorades.
Correct
This is fantastic!
This was a stunning find, if only I could win the lottery 😊 Thanks to both of you for sharing this beautiful video 👍👍👏👏🥰🥰⛵️⛵️⛵️
We’re right there with you buying tickets!
Stunning!
Hello Captain Q, Hi Ran-Day! As usual... you're presenting another great vessel in a vid that's simply pro. Other channels could learn a lot from the two of you, I believe. And... what a great boat that could serve as anything from an extremely versatile week ender up to a live aboard. I've already imagined taking her from the US East coast right across the Atlantic over to europe... Greenland, Iceland, Ireland, Wales, Enland's South coast though the British Cannel and so forth... or even down to the Med. One perhaps would have to fit a wind generator and some solar panels plus some extra batteries, if required, and eventually upgrade the electrical systems for the use of 220V shore power. Anyway... thanks for entertaining me this magnificient way!
its the stuff dreams are truly made of
Wow, Amazing yacht. Another great review.
isn't she
What a magnificent craft
This boat looks awfully familiar as my husband and I walked past it several times this morning as we off loaded from our modest 1970 Allied Seabreeze Citation after completing a week long cruise in Penobscot Bay, Maine. It is an impressive vessel! Such a treat to see what’s below deck.
Get well soon, Ran-Day.
Although I don’t know where she is but we saw her last in Newport but she’s a boat that should not standstill. So she may have hoped up to Penobscot bay And I don’t know but I’m. Pretty sure there maybe only one of these. Gorgeous
Hope you enjoyed your cruise Certahad the best msine could offer
Just WOW!!!,so beautiful!🤗🤯
I am amazed !!
Great job guys. Could have spent twice the time on this ship and it would have been enjoyable. Thank you.
Yes I am aware this does not have a square rig but the size of the motor and deep water intent of this one I think would make her a ship.
So big that when the Captain called you down below, there was an echo in the audio. Quite impressive.
Anybody down there?!?!!! 😂
I agree with 55 to stay alive. And Sea Dog got two references. My goodness what a dream boat. 😍
Blown away !!!!
Another amazing boat!
Wow , that boat is a great buy it’s half the price it should be !
Great to see such a dream yacht. Definitely a "yacht," not a sailboat, lol. Perhaps a sailing vessel! Keep them coming, love it!
That's the plan!
Well so much for the $10K fixer uppers. This is a BOAT!! Thanks
we try to mix it up a bit.... depending on the Powerball jackpot ;)
Drive it up on the rocks and its a $10,000 fixer upper. After you pay the Federal pollution fine of $100,000.
Amazing boat. I am envious of the person who got it. The 7' draft with dagger board up makes this one easy to get in tight.
It dwarfs the common cruiser and looks stately on the mooring.
What a boat!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cheers from Peru Capt Q!!!!!!
thankyou Lucho
Beautiful boat - one can dream :-)!
I've never bought a Loto ticket before but...Finding the fountain of youth would be nice too. Beautiful Yacht.
ok go get it someone has to win
If that is not big enough- there is the PJ 92' "Aria" (1975) which we used see on Lake Michigan flying its boomless sails. Refitted now and $1.3 million-somewhere.
Finally
you show us a boat we can all afford
hahahaha... if all of the viewers just chip in $10 each :)
I have two.
Gentlemen you have outdone yourselves this week. I believe if you were to compare this to a catamaran like a Lagoon, while the price might be similar, this is the boat you would want to take on serious offshore. Imagining this in the Southern ocean off New Zealand in 30 ft swells without breaking a sweat. This is really a ship. Thank you for the dream Captain Q and Randay.
my sentiments precissely
I would be sweating unless it was 20 degrees.
That is one of the most elegant and luxurious yachts i have seen ... Classical, space, pace and grace very impressive.💙😎😎 And as you indicated you would have to spend multiple millions to get near it in any two departments let alone the whole package..
And still cheaper than an apartment in a many cities or towns.
Cheaper than an 'apartment' in a 'town'? Does Martha's Vineyard count as a town?
@@t.a.ackerman4098 must do to some but even a decade ago a small house or luxury warehouse conversion type flat in London Docklands would have cost a million £ this probably has more space than a lot of waterfront apartments for less money 💰
Thats more a sign of how ludicrous property prices are in many Cities. Like London, Bath etc. If i was to ever win a major lottery I know what i would prefer to live in.. given a choice and im not particularly into monohulls ... but this ones quite
special. 😎
We agree!
@@clivestainlesssteelwomble7665 London and Bath aren't "towns". If it comes down to watching "fantasy" boats, I'll go somewhere else. Show me a cruising channel where they have a 60'+ boat.
@@t.a.ackerman4098
They are cities yes but the point is as a place to live, this isnt as expensive and offers a better space for living coming fully furnished and with aircon and its own independent power supply.
Beautiful craftsmanship. Get that Mega lotto ticket!
i got mine
Saw a vid on people who won more than $350 million. About half ended up worse for it. One guy started a meth lab and hes doing a 10 year stretch in the big house now. One guy ate and drank himself to death. One OD'd on coke. One started a charity which was nice.
Amazing! If I hit the lotto, I’ll give ya ring next week! What a beauty!
And if we hit it, we’ll give you a ring!!
@@YachtHunters I’ll be ready! 😍
Great boat and tour. That boat is bigger than my house.
Thanks for watching!
You two really do have a nice chemistry on camera. I'll bet it is the same off camera, as well. What a boat! A tad bit for my needs, though.
Thanks very much DG
Great episode and it was fun to see my boat in the background. 😎😎
Must be near Ran-days…
The inflatable? Shes a beaut. 10 HP? Some guys have all the luck.
wow!!!! what a boat
isn't that the truth
Gonna have to go pickup some mega millions tix. Now I know where I'm going as soon as I win the jackpot. 😃
Glorious. All I need to do is win the lottery.
see you at the lotto counter ;)
That's an amazing boat
Beautiful boat! Didn't catch the hours on that CAT 3208
Check the online listing… should be there (in the description under the video…)
Capt & Ran Day, Well my friends you really done it with this one!!! Told my wife time to sell the house I just fell in Love ❤️ She said me after the divorce no way I can afford this beauty! She said same as I can't afford all the beautiful young girls she knows hits on me when I travel. She hates I go out of cell coverage (good old faraday bag 😅) and sat phones are restricted. 😏 Seriously I almost didn't look at this one but I couldn't help myself 🤦🏻♂️ Now my wife wishes I bought the Calypso! Thanks again for that old feeling of wanting what I can not have! Be safe. Fair Winds and Following Seas my friends 🤙🏻
PS: I actually feel like a kid again with this one, you guys are the best!
hahahhah
It's a common occurrence I've noticed that the price of these beautiful boats is rather small compared to replacing the boat in today's world.. I have been looking at boats for sale because I've come up with a cool idea for one as a vacation home until I can retire and then make it a retirement home. Keep the wonderful videos coming showing us these great designs
Now why didn’t we think of that. Lol
Great idea. Glad you are on board. Good luck and stay in touch
Somethings should never been seen on a boat tour video and a Captain Q "booty shot" is one
Beauty is in the eye… something something…
WOW just WOW
"Your Ab"!!!? Too funny! (Wise guy. He is the Captain!)
Randay forgets his position from time to time
@@YachtHunters 😆
Is keel hauling still an option for a Captain to use or perhaps just a berth in the bilge?
Simply stunning.
Thank you! Cheers!
O-M-G !!! Simply unbelievable value for the money. However, would need to hire a captain & crew member to run and maintain that beautiful vessel.
Build that into the budget… gotta maintain your new house
Hey its just money. Try crowd funding.
A round the world cruiser. .. Cheers.
Either direction
Wow Beautiful boat. Increadable
We agree!
Surprisingly she is still listed for sale.
Holy Moly!!!!
(from my end - visual only - no sniff test, I thought you had a boat with cedar in the closets not too long ago... is my memory faulty or the lack of smell-o-vision the problem?)
Your memory is correct!! We had either forgotten or actually shot this boat before the other one with cedar!! Nice catch!!
You can buy the cedar at a lumber yard. Did my closets which are small. Put in lights too.
I will be buying this on Saturday!!
I plan on willing that 1 billion dollar lottery tomrrow night.
But only if I win.
Seriously though....many may think that this vessel is expensive but for quality and beauty of it I would say that price is very fair.
Well said and we’ll see you in line to buy lotto tickets
Just in time for the mega millions!
See you at the ticket counter
Ha, ha! "The booty shot." You guys were having too much fun with this one. Or, not enough.
This boat is marvelous. Beautiful interior and immaculate. Thanks for the tour.
Let's see, $695,000 asking price, down payment, financing, carry the one ....
That’s the idea
A beautiful yacht! The next buyer will probably be the owner of Dinty Moore.
Or at least own several cases 😂
@@YachtHunters I would prefer trout almandine grilled with a nice rice and salad. Keep your C rations thank you. Maybe a Zinfindelle.
A big boat for big waters. 14’ draft! 1200 gallons! A true yacht of super be quality. It should inspire Randy to really spruce up his little puddle jumper 😇
Maybe busy will be the tender to this big gal 😂
⛵️ Ready for Patagonia 🐧
We want Dinty!
Intro to a man smelling a boat...I got to watch this one!
can sniff out a good quality one 😂
WOW!❤
Nice boat, pretty traditional Alden. Hopefully you can review a newer Alden 44 as well. Heading home from Mac race and watching the show on the hook in Charlevoix. PJs would have been across the lake and as someone pointed out it makes me sad they're gone. Aluminum just kind of fell out of favor. The developmental rule aka IOR has hurt the industry in my opinion. Which Clorox bottle do you want to race. Sure there are some big boat guys playing the game but not to many 40' guys. Expense is sort of down but ...
Great boat, always like when you talk designer and builder. Please always throw some of that in each time.
We did an episode on an Alden 44. Loved the boat She sold in about three days I think
Is'nt Deerfoot still in production?
Absolutely love the boat❤️...Let's buy it Capt. And then sail the World... Except I want a hot tub installed on it..lol
Sailaway sailaway
Ps she will be floating in a hot tub !
That is a very nice boat ..
Ahh a master of the understatement lol
@@YachtHunters I’m picky and conservative so if I say it’s very nice- that’s a major compliment .. this boat has all anyone could ask for and then some and can sail comfortably in any latitude .. I would not be afraid to take it to the higher latitudes . May have to do some rudder protection may even consult with Skip to see how it may be improved to do such a trip.
Love your videos Cptn & Randy - do keep them coming .. the longer the boat the better.
"you're going to have to use your ab." Hysterical.
RanDay never misses a chance
My god what a boat.
A sizable floating house! 😍
Wow, just Wow.
Wow
Mister Ran Day do you still have your own channel with updates of your yacht in progress? My apologies I have a new device. Thank you both gents for bringing so much entertainment and a treasure trove of info
Nope still going to keep those episodes on this channel for now… just way behind on my own editing. Stay tuned… should have one in the coming week… it’s a dooozy
@@YachtHunters
tnx buddy.... was just curious about dealing with so many thru hulls
Probably dealing with consolidation on a more long term basis… higher priorities at the moment…
@@YachtHunters
tnx for the update sir..look forward to the progress....time is on your side friend
I encourage the channel to review a few more of these big (expensive) boats. Not too many!! We want to keep the channel relevant. But, a few more.
thanks!! yes... we'd like to mix it up... even if we can't have these in our budget... we like to learn the design features that we might incorporate into more modestly priced classics. Great idea
I like to dream big lol
@@wmjessemiller Yeah, me too, but, I think I would by a smaller, more equipped boat with $700000.
Better yet, another channel devoted to these.
My first question, is there an intercom system to talk to the bow from the cockpit ? Talk about big, check out those main winches at the cockpit ! Love the internal masts, it almost looks as though 2 competent sailors could handle this bus. Speaking of size, when you made that walk to the fore-peak I expected to find Leo DiCaprio waiting for you on the bowsprit. 1,400 gallons of water... where's the hot-tub ?! I just caught a glimpse of the power management/navigation station and it reminded me of the sound engineer's panel at a professional recording studio before you made the same comparison ! 78 feet and it only sleeps 10 ? This sounds like just the boat for you Captain Q, I second the lottery ticket idea. Thanks for another great video, already looking for the next one ! ⛵⛵⛵
thank you gordon spot on all around great minds
Needs a wireless system to run anchors and bow thrusters. No bow thrusters? Oh please.
How about active stability?
I can only dream! Or be a deckhand on it.
Same!
Yup, $700k plus $200k for updates and we're good to go! I'de need two lottery tickets! Nice to dream, though. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Let us know when you win and we’ll crew for you
I dunno, I found it to be a little claustrophobic . . . Compared to a typical gymnasium, LOL. Wow that's really something, thanks for sharing it!
😂 thanks for watching
Its not what I would design. Nobody wants to go out with me anyway. My boat sleeps 8.
I was just wondering if the orchestra for the ballroom they jokingly call a saloon on that boat comes with the boat or do you need to supply your own? Seriously that boat, or is it a ship, is way out of my price range. Heck I'd need to save up my social security checks for several months just to fill the fuel tank, but she is really nice. Keep the good stuff coming guys.
three piece jazz group is randays first choice
OMG what a beautiful ship, big enough for me and all my kids, what is the cruising speed
with al that waterline we heard 10-11kts is cruising speed....😍
Just in time for the $1 Billion lottery draw tomorrow.
see in you in line!! best of luck!!
I'll take it!
Hurry
W O W ! ! !
yup!
Different zipcode upfront. Like that one
I like it!that randay ....quick as a buttton
Yup price took my breath away…lol
Crazy! My guess is it sold already. That is a bargain.
Last we heard she was available
My lottery dream!
Captain Q and Randy I am available as crew for a world tour on the Alden Palmer/Johnson, just saying.
Just noting !!😀
That's a boat. A big boat.
yup
I think Captain Q and .Ran-day have more of a Bob and Bing kind of duo thing going on then a Dean and Jerry kind of thing, wait, Tom and Jerry?.....maybe.....
Or don Quixote and Sancho
WOW. The kind of yacht that the vast majority of us can only dream about.
Not that expensive as boats go. Kinda old. Goobers here pay that and more for Cigarette boats and blow the engines after a year or two. Burn another $100,000 on repairs.
Weird. So much money out there spent with limited taste Makes this girl seem so much better
$1000 an hour for gas.
@@YachtHunters Just a heads up. There is someone masquerading as Captain Q, Yacht Hunter, spamming your comments section with a fake prise winner notification and a number to call. I suspect whoever falls for the scam will call the number and give them money. I reported it but you'll probably already be aware. They're using your profile image to try and make it look convincing.
It might be worth mentioning to your viewers that you would never ask for money from anyone.
Best, Peter.
I'll take two!
…… And call you in the morning
@@YachtHunters lol
Captain, what about aluminum hulls and electrolysis and those stories of dropping a penny in the bilge and you end up with a hole in the hull.
just i case its not a myth dont bring any pennies aboard just your cc and you will be ok
The marine grade Al on my boat has exceeded expectations. Marine grade is a different animal.
