- While waiting on my new boat to finish being built we have returned to the dark side and bought a 2001 Searay 340 Sundancer to use for the winter and spring. The boat has twin mercruiser 7.4 liter gas powered engines that make 320 horsepower each. I will be selling this boat at the end of the spring... want to buy it? bobby@sailingdoodles.com

I'm very impressed with the space on that boat. It looks a lot bigger on the inside.
Small boat. Good for the lakes in Minnesota.
Nice boat, smaller but has everything you need. The Light Side🛥
Happy New Year Bobby and Amanda. Nice looking boat.
That looks like alot more room down below than I expected , looking at it from the outside I didn't think it was so big . Nice boat . 😊
My brother just purchased a 2001 340 for $95k with similar upgrades and a similar fiberglass issue. The price Bobby paid is not unreasonable. Especially with the new remanufactured engines.
Great Boat we used to run a Searay 350 out of Marina Del Rey to Catalina on the weekends same engine set up. It's a drinker but it get's you there quick. One thing to keep a eye on if you go over any kelp or debris watch the engine temp . We had a couple times the intake grates under the hull would suck stuff up and get clogged and get it running hotter. Nice thing the grates caught it every time and it's a quick dip in and out and your back on your way. Love the channel, been enjoying it for years. Keep it going. If your ever back Glamping Doodles in Ca I have the Skyline Drive in in Barstow, your always welcome.Cheers!
I had a slightly smaller 1998 SunDancer for about 6 years and loved it! Great boat!
Nothing remotely close related to the thumbnail image in this video. You’re welcome.
I loved it, and also am a huge fan of express cruisers. It will be fun to see you go faster for a few months, well done!
Glad you have a rigid dingy. With that crew, you’re going to need it.
bouncy dingys are the best!
You are definitely the hardest working person on CZcams. I love your dedication!
This is awesome!!! Totally relatable and something I've been looking to do. Really looking forward to these episodes!!!
You can tell Bobby is very technically focused. This probably has something to do with his days as a pilot.
look up flying doodles
@@Fatalimit -- look up, it is in the sky!
Look down, because they are in the water!
Really looking forward to this series. I have an 07 300 dancer and this is exactly what I want to do with her.
That boat looks well taken care of. Of course the new covers and equipment sure doesn't hurt.
Nice boat... nice companion ...I want to be like Bobby when I grow up..god bless
Nice to see Amanda getting used to having the camera on all the time.
Beautiful boat Bobby. Looks sharp
Many thanks for the upload, keep 'em coming! 👍
Great transition boat. It’ll be interesting to see what direction your content goes with just a couples cruiser.
#BobbysLifeDoesNotSuck - love the fact that Bobby says that there it has two sleeping compartments and ...under his breath .. they use the 2nd for storage. ... Amanda is a little more forthcoming with the fact that "if this boat is rockin don't come a knockin"...
Great boat Bobby. I am impressed that you so easily and comfortably switch back and forth between sailing and power over the years. I enjoy watching both. If my health would only cooperate, I would like to do something similar. But I am beginning to doubt that will happen.
Nice boat, Bobby. Looks in great condition. My pal has the same boat and I've been out on his many times. Sea Ray makes an excellent express cruiser.
Oh boy a new toy for Bobby, looks sharp and go fast. A good choice to create content until the new boat is ready.
If you are in the market for a boat like this buying one from Bobby, you know he’s gone through everything. Great looking boat.
I would agree what ever he sells it for its gonna be worth it ... I have the same boat 99 first year love it .. its not brand new powered so I could only imagine someone gonna buy this fast
The ideal boat for going around the Bahamas etc. Now in great shape for cruising with Amanda
soooooooooooooooo Bobby - only one bed? I have been seeing something starting between you and Amanda. She is absolutely stunning
One bed but two women. It’s going to be a little crowded. Early in the video under his breath Bobby said the back cabin is used for storage.
Nice upgrade bobby, and the boat is nice to.
Awesome. Thanks for the video.
Beautiful boat!
May grandfather had a Sea Ray that he had custom built. Back then they placed a plaque at the helm station identifying the vessel and stating it was custom built and designed for a specific person. He had twin diesel engines and it would boogie when needed. They build very good reliable boats. We always end going out on his and all the trips we took on it (a bunch) it never let us down.
I have a 2003 Sea Ray 320 Sundancer that I have owned since 2007 and navigate south of the Washington DC area, your 34 is very similar and hope you enjoy your time on the similar boat!
One thing I'm a little confused about.....
Blowers on a boat are to get rid of the flammable gas in the engine compartment to stop explosions.
You have to flick a switch for these blowers before turning the key to start the engines.
Why on gods earth with all the safety features forced into everyday items would this still be allowed.
The blower should be in the turning the key process, engines should not start until a venting procedure is complete.
I've seen 1 explosions and 2 aftermaths from this so it must be common as I don't even live in a boating area.
there is also a blower on/off switch at the helm next to the port/starboard start switches. there are two so if you are in the lower cabin you can begin the process before entering the helm.
Bobby, it appears you have mapped out my retirement!!!
I have been looking forward to these episodes ever since you said you were buying a smaller cruiser and going island hopping. This boat seems perfect for solo or couples. Add a washer/dryer and it's a perfect live aboard. Maybe in a year or so I can thank you in person.
I take it you have a younger wife…Iam divorced 3 yrs and iam living my retirement through Bobby…He is truly Living the dream…🤣🤣🤣
@@tommygunz8692lmao 😂😂 Hang in there brother!💪🤝
It's the little things that add up in the end. This boat reminds me of when o bought a range rover lol. Best and worst day of my life. Know exactly what bobby is talking about
@@tommygunz8692 My wife passed away 10 years ago but I do have "girlfriends" that would love to runaway for a weekend or a week or two.
Ooooh This is going to be interesting. My first boat was a Sundancer Express. I used to take it all over the Great Lakes. Sea Ray makes a solid boat! You will definitely appreciate it.
Love the power boat option!
I am glad that your Dinghy is Rigid Bobby. With the crew that you always have I would expect that.
If he made a channel on how to keep up grading “boats” id subscribe to that channel too.. 😅
That is a very nice boat...fresh everything...Great buy and it should be a quick sell. Amanda is gorgeous. Looking forward to the next episodes with this boat.
You are a lucky man, Bobby :D
My family owned a 98 33' Sundancer. It is the best boat for days out on the bay. Does not handle rough seas though so be careful. 6-foot ocean swells felt very scary on this boat.
I had a 2005 340 sundancer and cruised the ábacos with no glitches, just calculate your fuel stops carefully. I had mercruiser 8.1s horizons vdrives. Range with a third of a tank in reserve was about 110 nautical miles. Had the boat for 10 years an a 1000+ hours and when sold they had the same compression as when purchased. I still miss her, COVID finances sale
If Amanda comes with the Boat, sign me up! 🙂
My brother in law just bought a 2007 for 31k and it is in almost perfect condition!
Looking forward to these videos! I'm thinking of a boat around this size for Lake St Clair and the Great Lakes in Michigan.
80k for a 2001 340? doubtful
He actually said he is looking to get everything he put into the boat which is around $85k total. I'm curious if he was able to sell it for that.
why? The was in fairly good shape.
I would say the main strike against is the twin gasoline engines .. diesel is typically superior on almost any boat/yacht.
What a Stunner!! The boat's beautiful as well! ;)
Bobby, you can certainly tell with Amanda that she has been in front of a camera many times before. I do think that she adds something to the podcasts. Good motoring.
I have a boat just like that and I put a 4500 watt inverter generator on my swim deck which cables into my shore power plug. I added a soft start to my AC. I can run everything on the boat when I’m on anchor overnight and it uses 2 gallons of gas for 10
Hours. My Westerbeke costs a lot if you are running it overnight.
Best built power boats on the market. Sold vessel, thick hull, great fibreglass. Enjoy Bobby!
Really nice boat!
*Bobby out here clapping cheeks!*
Nice compact cruiser.
Very nice boat!
Nice boat, like all the electronic upgrades.
It is a nice boat, but the price is definitely steep, even considering the extras. Looks like you paid a little too much at the start. Best of luck
Correct I just saw one for 29k and thought that was steep.
Although, what does a 2001 Toyota with 5k miles cost? Hard to put a price on Something old that’s meticulously maintained or barely used so who knows if it’s a good deal other than him 🤷♂️
The title pic “Motorboatin’” with a buxom Amanda is good display of subliminal messaging on Bobby’s part.
Que the Little Big Town song. 😏
Name for the boat?
What is not to love about Moterboating with Amanda?🤷♂️
Hahaha so subtle
Amanda has the most amazing soft and big 30yr old ta-tas..
Beautiful Boat.!!!
Great Video! Beautiful boat!
I wouldn't get anything done around the boat with Amanda on it with me.. lol
I Love that Sea Ray boat!!
😻 Gninrom doog 💙
Beautiful, and the boats not bad either.
I had a Sea Ray 7.5 metre in Sardinia . V6 power made it very fast . Good boat
Nice lookin Boat Bobby n Amanda.
Nice tie over boat Bobby. Keeping the income coming in. Nice Pull over!
Excited about Key West!
Boat has more things going for it than I would think for something that size.
I'd have already bought your sailboat in Greece if it had been possible. Love your content!
Its interesting to hear you guys perpetually referring to this as a "little boat". I guess if you're coming from an open water cruising background this is small but from people like us that boat on inland water ways and bays this is a pretty significant vessel. Our 22' Baja is probably dinghy status to you. In any case this is a perfect upgrade for us
Bobby great to see the new boat, great video cheers!
Both using the word WE....sounds like a partnership.
Sea Ray makes some of the finest water crafts out there, this Sundancer is very nice. I like the full enclosure. On a lot of sail boats you can't get out of foul weather and I don't like that.
Nice ride 😎👍🏻
That yellowfin center console is gorgeous.
We had a 32 Wellcraft St. Tropez when we lived in south Florida. Just a little shorter, but the same style boat. It's the one boat I wish we had kept, and it was perfect for south Florida. The only negative was twin 454's that burned a lot of gas.
W0W! twin 454's! I'm guessing it hauled A$$ when you asked it too!? Seems like an awful lot of H.P. for that size boat.
@@arottie4097 , it would move.
That is a great boat while you wait for the big one!!
thanks mom!
The trigger word "WE" that dooms every doodles first mate !
Motorboatin' with Amanda, that's as good as it gets!
wow, basedon the titl,Iwas expecting a much different video 8-(
I love this! I have a 320.
Nice boat for 23 yrs old.
a very popular size boat up here in Lake St. Clair and the great lakes.
Nice boat Bobby.
Right on Bobby, that's a sweet li'l boat right there. 👍
Sea Rays are quality boats, good selection. 😊
That is a pretty good business model. Get a decent deal, upgrade it, create videos and memories, sell it for what it cost. No loss for you, no real loss for the buyer.
Nice boat. So funny to see him talking about this boat being nice and small and cheap in the marina etc.
I know that is the case for the U.S.A. since everything is big there. cars, boats houses, roads, etc.
Here in the Netherlands a boat this size is called a pretty big boat. Sure we have bigger yachts in marina's but those are the minority. We bought a yr 2001 twin turbo diesel cruisers yachts 3470 express this spring after going out camping weekends for 10 years in a 19ft maxum sports cuddy. For us this new to us boat is massive and we could not be more happy with it. Think it is a similar condition like your Searay. And in some area's better with the layout and less in others. But in general the same size. Only we have a seperate showerstall in the head and a seperate cabin with a door in the front of the vessel. Like to see the adventures you will have with this boat.
Jamie is the man… also I own the slip to your port side… love RD…awesome spot. Travel safe
Oh, my gosh! My name is Vita!! The lil boat behind Bobby is named after me!!! Cool!!
Sweet!!!
lol did anyone notice the tv bahahaha
I’m all in! 👍🏻
Things move fast in "Bobby's World". New boat, New woman.........
Nice boat 😮
Nice one Bobby and Amanda. What was with the sirens Bobby once you put the boat back into the slip. Looking forward to next video. It will be nice however to see you in your new CAT
"Motor Boatin" could be a whole new area for "Just Stop Toil" protestin
I can feel the soft deck under my feet from my couch. But those are one of my all time favorite boats, came close to buying one in 2011 but passed on it since it was in need of a repower. Was available for under 15k at that time.
Would be cool to hear about the boat flips. How did sale go etc.. Like sail boat that was in Greece.
By the way love watching your alls channel, look forward to each new video
I miss Alina.
She has a bar she has to run and probably a boyfriend to attend to also. She's not free to sail all the time with Bobby 😔
“Another couple…”. Implies that there is a first couple. Ah yeah. Bobby, you da man.
That's what a TV looked like 100 years ago 😅. Cool boat, though. 😎
THANKS!
