I am not so much into sailing but into life on the water. No matter your method of propulsion, I will be watching.
As long as the content has to do with boats I’m in.
I’d say 80% of those watching are in it for the girls just as much when it comes to content haha
Besides, isn’t it true that sailboats spend a significant proportion of time under power anyway?
I agree with this. It's more about the alternative living for me..
@@thomasbrown782 That is a big heavy pusher not a sleek sport fisher. And heavy heavy heavy!
Haha, I remember in one old episode once Laura said "Bobby, why don't you just get a motorboat since you motor boat so much", and you looked so annoyed.
Holy cow slightly impressed, not by the vessel but by the amount of projects you've knocked out already!🤯
Hes a doer !!
He’s a scammer
@@Depaor1970 ive heard it takes one to know one !😐
@@Depaor1970 - You must feel right at home making a comment as such. Was it really needed if so please let everyone know why you feel the way you do.
It is not my problem if you cannot see through this guy and his grift/con. Probably trump supporters, the guy wanted rid of his yacht and wanted a new motorboat because he sure don’t like sailing and he sure do like beer and trying to get some titties. The guy is a joke.
Love the boat, my wife and I are a couple of years away from retiring we are thinking about getting a motor boat one a little smaller than yours, maybe something around 40 to 44 feet. We want to travel the ICW. I’m glad you got a motor boat, this way I can learn from you before we get out there.
I never cared how you get from one place to another. I just enjoy your adventures and company.
As much as I like sailing, I now have arthritis in my back and hands, so sailing is pretty much out , so power boating is the way I want to go too. Good luck with your new boat. Really like it .
I would be useless on a sail boat. My wrists are too weak.
Hope you enjoy the Dark Side! I also moved from sailing to motor boating and honestly, once you’ve experienced the luxury and convenience a motor vessel offers, there’s no going back. Occasionally we charter a sail cruiser for a change and enjoy the actual sailing, but the small cabins and basic beds and facilities are no comparison to those on my boat, also American made, a Searay 455.
My sister and brother in-law made the switch from sailing for 25+ years to a "stink pot" 36 ft Bruckmann powerboat. They are retired and got tired of the physical demands of sailing thier 34 ft Sabre. They like the ability of hitting the twin diesels and pointing to the destination on the chart without worrying about the direction and speed of the wind. Good luck with this new boat Bobby!!
I’m 60. Been through 18 to 36 foot powerboats over 40 years. Salt and fresh. Now I have a 41 foot Gibson River Yacht. Best boat we’ve ever had.
Thanks for not leaving us powerboaters in the dark. No pun intended. I love all the boating you do Bobby.
Scuba tank rack, heck yeah. Love the extension on the back of the boat with swim platform.
Bobby that is a fantastic video. At age 72 I have owned lots of boats the biggest being a 42 foot sailboat that I lived on before buying a house. You clearly are intelligent and experienced and it sure is nice to see you share this lifestyle with the public. In my days we simply did not have CZcams available to share this info. Instead we attended yacht clubs and listened to people tell us about their experiences. Now we can just visit fellow sailors online. Yikes! Thanks!
It's just good to see you back on your own boat Captain.. Best of luck
This is fantastic!! There are many sailing channels but cruising in a floating condo is rarely if ever done on utube.
yo, Bobby, I also caught some crap from family and friends when I posted a family vacation picture of me, with the wife and kids, wearing white sun glasses. So get down with your bad self, brother. Love the shades, stick with them. And thanks for easing the monotony of the whole COVID fiasco with your videos. I've binge watched them all over the last year. Wish I had the funding to be a patron, even more, wish i had the funding and gaul to live your life. You're probably the only living person who can say that a stroke was the best thing to happen to them but, hopefully, other people who've been dealt a bad hand will be inspired to overcome by watching how you've overcome. Keep on keepin on, you good man. I love watching what you do.
Best times ever. Thanks! Needed this!
My uncle(passed in 2016)was a USN Motor Machinist Mate 2nd class. During WW2.
He was responsible for 3 Gray Diesel engines. In a very cramped area.
He was on a LCT(6). 1082 "Little angel. He was a part of Flotilla31. which made the longest transit during the war. Traveling from Pearl to Okinawa. On a BOAT(flat bottom)
and a draft of 3 ft. Usually LCTs rode piggy back on an LST.
Being a power boater over the last 15-20 years, I will certainly enjoy watching your adventures in power weekly! ps..love the sunglasses! Keep wearin' them!!
I love the white sunglasses!! Keeping flipping those trolls off!
You need help.
Those. Generators have zincs in heat ezchangers and need to be serviced regularly. The stabilizer only works when the generators are running. If you run those Detroits slow they will Carbon Up . the cylinders. Have two orings keeping the coolant out if you get hot at all it is over. I hate to. Be the one to. Educate you. But these are hard learned lessons. Clean fuel. 2 micron raycors. do not Run anti freeze. Run. Water treatment nalcool or equivalent. Change all The impellars now. Keep spares generators and Mains
That loose Oil fill would Have blown Oil every where.
Frank Ferris n
Those 24 year old. Engines will need. The high pressure oil hoses to the remote filters and oil. Coolers replaced with new areoquip hoses asap. I have made most of my living from. Detroit. Diesels that owners. Never read. The service manuals
Bobby, Good luck with the new boat. I can really relate, I suffered a stroke in 2010 that forced me into retirement. I was always a sailor and found it to difficult for me after the stroke. So I bought a trawler. To tell you the truth, I really have enjoyed the more relaxed pace and I was able to concentrate on my fishing which I have always loved. At 8 knots I burn just shy of 1 and a half gallons per hour so with 400 gallons useable onboard I can go a bit over 1500 miles before refueling. As long as you're not in a hurry it's terrific!! Hope you enjoy and I'm looking forward to your new adventures!!
Can't wait to see and hear your take on that boat. I will learn a bunch, I'm sure. There are many of us who have come to an age where sailing is a PITA if not impossible due to mobility issues. This boat won't give you a lot of rest, but it should be much more manageable. Stablizers, gobs of fuel, good navionics, watermaker, two large generators...should be a good blue water cruiser!
I like the glasses. They're kind of iconic.
We all know Bobby has done a LOT of "Motor Boating"
Best CZcams comment of the week
I knew that was coming up considering the talent level of his crew
Yep always a gentleman, But you know..........
That's why he got a power boat 😂😂
There it is, I knew I would find it.
I'm a long-time sailor myself, but that is one cool boat, and wish you good luck with it. I never will understand why people bother to make negative comments, I suppose it's mainly jealousy...oh well! I like the fact that you keep wearing white sunglasses mainly to annoy the people that don't like them. I have a pair similar to yours only clear and I wear them for the same reason.
Best reason to wear a specific type of sunglasses ever.
This is the "ultimate bachelor pad" or "man cave" on the water. You know we all envy Bobby right now and wish we had done this once upon a time. How do you not love this boat no matter how into sailing you are? Stay single long enough to make some unforgettable memories Bobby. We wish we were you.
Yes, some of us live vicariously through Bobby's YT channel.
Also, it is much less money to "own yachts" in your dreams than in reality - though it is probably worth it to own the real thing.
Time to go back to reality and the nagging xwife.
The fuel costs are gonna be a challenge, bobby. Let's see where this goes.
Oh yes indeed.
Im sure the gullible patrons will fund whatever he does.
I can’t believe how people who watch for free will criticize people who fund the page.
Hello Bobby! It is wonderful, it is amazing . Just now I am enjoying the dance of Taylor and other two ladies. They are swimming, they are dancing. Ofcourse Taylor is enjoying a nice cruise with other two ladies. Bobby! You are experiencing a nice sailing with your crew members. Thank you.
Great boat Bobby, great shades, tell them all to get "Stuffed" looking forward to cruising with you Cheers from Down under.
Nice!
He covers so much stuff. I keep feeling like my brain is getting tickled by all the different things he talks about. Cool boat.
She’s a beautiful boat Bobby. Can’t wait to see your new adventures. You pull off the white sunglasses 😎 like a boss.
Still on the fence since I lost mine!
I was a Detroit Diesel mechanic and parts man when Doris and I married in 1976. The Series 92 was brand new then. They proved to be very strong and reliable. Because they are two cycle (not 4 cycle) engines, they like RPMs. You may find that they want to go faster than you planned ;-)
I'm still trying to catch up but I love this change in direction wth regards to this type.
Bobby you bloody rock the white sunglasses. Don't let anyone ever tell you differently.
I guess it was when he got to the bathtub that I just went OMG that is incredible. Personally, I have no problem with Bobby trying a powerboat. Sailboats are also cool. Lucky guy, but also incredibly smart and motivated. Way to go.
Congratulations on the new boat/home. We had a cabin cruiser for many years and loved it. We have enjoyed watching your journey at sea. The sailing aspect has been really interesting to us. It is going to be cool to see how power boating will influence your journey.
You’ll not be sorry you went power. I owned a Wellcraft Portofino for 11 years and it was one of the best 11 years of my life. Power/sailing, two different worlds but both have their pros vs. cons. I think you’re going to have a fantastic journey...
As a motorboater (34 ft Avanti) who loves your sailing videos, this will be a hoot to watch.
Thanks for trying it.
You need images of Goose and Maverick somewhere outside.
RIP, Mav.
Thanks,
John
The white sunglasses master is back!! And Taylor? Well done Bob!!
Very cool.... something different from Sailing Doodles. I retired from boating a few years ago. I can live vicariously through this.
So happy you went to motor boat. Many of us have more money than time and want to learn how to and where to go. Thank you!
Nice change Bobby, looking forward to your cruising videos.
Holy shit Bobby, looks really cool! Keep them White glasses on and piss them off lol. You are quite the handyman and the boat looks great. Gonna be interesting and fun to watch.
Best motor cruiser made.Caped a 1974 56ft Hatteras out of southwest Florida. Best use of space boat builder in America.Enjoy.
You only go around once. Trying something different is always a good idea. Plus, that is a great sea boat. You can always change back if you are not happy.
😂😂😂 I can’t believed you received bad comments about your sunglasses 😎 you doing it great 👍 and it’s a real pleasure to fallow you
That’s a cool looking boat dude glad to hear Amanda’s coming back as well she’s a honey
About time there’s more power boaters! The fuel burn isn’t too bad on these big cruisers once you get used to it. Granted my boat is about 10ft smaller and only holds 500 gallons of fuel, it can easily last a season if I’m only doing local boating
Bobby congratulations on the Hatteras motor boat. You will love it. I have a 1996 42 ft Hatteras CPMY and its a great boat. Safe travels
Nice new cruiser. Will be interesting to see your improvements and how you compare under sail life with power life. Agree with your solar plans for off grid running.
That boat is a beauty. Looking forward to the new adventures. Enjoy.
Most impressed, it is in excellent condition and clearly will only get better as you tick off the jobs. The cost must be eye watering.
One idea for your stove top burners is not replace with another burner top but get a couple of portable cooktops: Duxtop 1800W Portable Induction Cooktop Countertop Burner, Black 9100MC/BT-M20B or something similar. These are available online.
That looks like a great boat. Looking forward to your future adventures.
Love the sun glasses story, LOL. Great looking boat, I'm not a boater...yet... but seeing this is edging me closer. Very nice boat, look forward to the season ahead!!
Stay away from boat ownership unless you've got plenty of disposable funds and are completely dedicated to keeping up with all of the inherent maintenance that goes into it.
@@charlesincharge3404 hes a smart guy, he would have done the sums mate !
Bobby- you have the boat of my dreams. I grew up on my families 36 foot Chris craft on Lake Michigan. I miss boating. I look forward to your cruising adventures
Hi Bobby! Very nice looking boat! Thank you for sharing it with us. I've been on your channel for quite some time; I recall watching you and Megan livestreaming from a timbuktu island bar.....Freaky tiki or something like that buying you two a bottle of booze on the live stream...reception coming in crappy.....and I sitting overseas just wanting the war to end. And here you are on to a power boat. It will be neat to see how this concept develops for you. Safe cruising!!
Hey Bobby. Glad to see you are back in action. Life is short and live it to the fullest. I was going to suggest you name your boat after Tony Soprano’s until I looked up the meaning of the name of his boat. Get out there and have a blast. Like Jerry Jeff Walker said, “ When a Texas Man makes a plan, action will be taken, that’s for sure. “ Good luck. GOD bless you. Stay safe.
Cool new boat, Amanda and Taylor? Unbelievable!
oooo, yeah - get back to the gold old times of Bahama, Mama, Drama!!!
Good times!
Motorboat!
AMMIRIGHT???
You have certainly learnt the ropes and whereabouts very quickly. A really lovely looking boat which could easily convert you from sail to power. I always had sailboats and then went to live in London. Decided to buy a live-aboard rather than a house.......never looked back. It was a 65 ft Offshore Barracuda (an American Twin V12 petrol boat). Man did it guzzle gas. Totally different fraternity in the Marinas though and in the U.K. there is not mixing between sail and power. I am now a nearly 80 has been, so I bought an offshore powerboat to try and keep me young. Never seems to attract the birds like you though. Guess 80 is past it..... so I’ll sadly have to revert to looking at them and watching your channel and fantasising. Good luck with the boat Bobby
That is a great boat, Bobby! I think you answered my question from my previous comment. Apparently, you own it! It’s very good that you’re handy and can do a lot of things yourself. There won’t be any end to the little fix it jobs. That comes with the territory on a 24 year old boat with that many components. You’re going to have some serious fun on the Dark Side. Can’t wait to follow along!
Love the boat!! Wow, love the engines! They are two stroke motors. Taylor coming back, woohoo, love it.
Very nice Bobby! Can't wait to see some scuba footage! Amanda and Taylor on the boat at the same time may completely shut down the internet....
Hopefully he has enough weights for them to dive 👍
A suggestion Bobby...get a vehicle backup camera for your boat with a screen on your bridge. That might allow you to back up the boat while working at the bridge.
Fellow boater here at the same marina (at the Esplanade), and also a Hatteras 52 (convertible) owner, catch you at the Cueva for some beers one of these days. Congratulations.
Awesome. I'll keep watching as long as you keep having adventures.
Awesome Bobby! Congratulations and wish you the best of luck!
Love it! We sail, Canadian sailcraft 33. But love all boats. We may go with something power as we get older. Looking forward to seeing new episodes.
Bobby, this boat is so Miami Vice (circa 1990). It's Awesome and goes with the white sunglasses! Looking forward to some slightly cheesy adventures!!!
I often wondered why you always had white sunglasses. Thank you for the explanation and never stop wearing them.
Can't wait for five years from now when Bobby buys Steve Ballmer's yacht.
My dad had a 53' Hattress back in the '70's. Spent a few summers cruising costal British Columbia (B.C.) in the amazing Desolation Sound area. Remember one of the engines blew out and we were stuck in Campbell River for a few days for repairs. My dad was not happy as it was a big cost outlay. Otherwise the boat was great!
The boat is really nice and having never sailed I would find a powerboat much more appealing. You have always impressed me with your work ethic but you seemed to have knocked it out of the park over the last couple of months. No one can ever accuse you of being lazy. You have a knack of making all of your work seem like fun even when it isn't. Smooth motoring to you my friend.
This was a good episode packing a lot of information. I like the new look!
Great name for the boat. My friends had one of these in Florida and I've gotta say, when we went out for cruises with them it was a whole other level of comfort. Cant wait to see your upcoming adventures.
Great your Bobby, it's good to mix it up. I might have missed your specifically saying you purchased it but obviously you did with all you've put into it already. Awesome space in it, should be very comfortable.
Great tour Bobby (auto correct sucks at times)
Don't get rid of trash compactor until you try it. I didn't use mine for three years and then tried it. Its awesome! Can compact about a weeks worth of garbage with 6 people on board.
Love the new boat, when Taylor gets back, everything will be right in the Sailing Doodles world.
That's a great looking boat, Bobby! I'm still so sad we couldn't be there cruising with you right now .... but work starts soon. We'll save it for a few months down the road when we're knee deep in fiberglass and need a tropical vacation. 😉
just a few days ago, I commented on Calico Skies video of them doing some fiberglass work... I used to cut fiberglass cloth for Keewaydin Canoes (many yrs ago), we both commented on the itching.... So when I read your comment, I had to say.... don't you mean, knee deep in fiberglass and itching for a tropical vacation...lol
Love the idea of Matt and Jessica on Sailing Doodles, It'll be like a working vacation ;)
@Bruce Rhodes Hahaha, YES! We would be 'itching' for a vacation! 😂
What’s the boat brand?
@@cesara136 Hatteras
I agree Bobby, this will be a great new adventure. I was wondering about the crew, until I saw Amanda's post today, where the front railing looks a bit familiar!
Looks identical to the '97 Viking 60' motor yacht. I worked on one for a summer and this one looks just like it inside and out aside from the motors being Mans which pushed the boat really well. They have a similar story with the rear addition. Was a Sweet ride to to the Bahamas
Good luck with the new boat, I went from power to sail due to the fuel expenses. Let’s see how long you last at the power boat thing. Enjoy the ride
@@Outrageousconductoh well 6 months of entertainment better than none !👍
Congratulations Bobby! A lot more space for activities.
Congratulations, Captain! Nice boat. I love power boating and sailing. It's all on the water!
I think it's great! Brings back memories from when my dad had a yacht. 34' Hatteras and then he had a 46' Bertram Sport fish but traded out for a motor yacht after . I lost him in 2000 to Alzheimers. Best of luck and Congrats 👍 .
By the way, I'd love to be a crewmember if you ever need an extra hand!
Well done Bobby!! This is exciting. Keep us updated with economy studies.
Just as I talked myself into rebuilding a cat you do this. Looking forward to seeing how this develops. Definitely looks like a simpler path. Full speed ahead
I love that boat and I love your attitude, give it a try and see how you like it. Look forward to see you take the boat out and modifying it to your standard.
Dark side, love it. Looking forward to learning more. The space is amazing!!
Dude! I am so impressed with how quickly you are able to bust out boat jobs. Love your new boat and looking forward to seeing life on the Dark Side ;)
Looking forward to the new chapter in your adventure. Keep the sunglasses, its you LOL.
Love the new boat Bobby and also love the white sunglasses! Owning a Hatteras is for sure in my future, love the fact that most of the furniture and fixtures in their boats are residential which means it's so easy to replace them when they get too old. Fair winds!
Good to see you looking happy with the new experiment. Looks comfortable and would be my preferred option. Regards from Australia.
Don Johnson called. He wants his glasses and boat back.
and Elvis says where's his sun deck? plus why isn't it called St Vidas' last dance.
LOL...!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍
Funny!
LMAO
looks like fun dude, looking forward to the girls coming back and seeing how she goes
So agree about snapping those off who can`t behave online! It`s hard work being a youtuber, so appreciate your channel a lot. Thanks, Leif
I've heard that Detroit Diesel fuel consumption is basically 1 gallon per hour per cylinder? Nice boat. Hard to argue with that level of comfort. You can always ship it on a freighter when you want to change the scenery. Yes there is fuel cost. But sailboat rigging, sails, etc, also costs money to maintain. And sailboats also have engines on top of that.
PRETTY COOL, YOU JUST NEED SOME BUSTY CHICKS TO MOTOR BOAT AROUND :)
@@Outrageousconduct First was Megan, then Laura, then Taylor, then Amanda; 152-25-36
Oh their on their way👍🇺🇸
Motor boat... I see what you did there....
This
pretty sure that Hatteras boats come with them... There is storage under the decks, they are fueled by wine and beer ..
Hope Taylor is your first guest onboard... congrats on the board.
lol typed this as you said it!!
Congrats for your New Boat.
Your white glasses are great and a MUST.
Thanks from Portugal!
Wow ,you did well..that is a fantastic boat.All you need is Amanda back for your first Venture.
