- We are moving on from our wonderful Merry Fisher 895 Offshore. In this episode, we take a last look at our MF 895 and highlight our intention to continue reviewing Powerboats (Jeanneau in particular). We shall also be sharing our experiences of our new MOBILVETTA TEKNO LINE K.YACHT 79 Motorhome!

I'm already in your future, yes.
Please let me tell you of my pleasure following your impressions owning and exploring the Merry Fisher. It was very easy to feel identification with your calm experience of being together in a kind of handover, under the colour of some grieving melancholy. Life is a permanent change.
You are young in comparison with me and you are both adorable.
Being Portuguese, I am looking forward for your time in my country. You'll feel good and so I will.
Thank you so much,
Thank you so much for your kind words and really glad you enjoyed the film. Life certainly is a change - we are now motorhoming in Europe - that You Tube channel is called
Motorhoming Adventures
@motorhomingadventures
We hope to tour Portugal soon! ☀️☀️
Thanks for all your detailed insights! Sorry to see you go. Looking forward to hearing your final thoughts on this particular boat as I watch today's video.
Many thanks Chris and albeit the 895 has moved on we’ll still be get in amongst them which we’re looking forward to.
Absolutely loved the boat and honestly can’t find a downside from all the fun 🎉🎉
Get a tow bar fitted and attach a 695. You will have the ultimate set up. 🚐🛥
Happy travels in the A class.
All the best,
Paul.
Thanks Paul and there’s an idea!! 😁😁
You have been such an inspiration as sailors...now as thoughtful parents too....will miss Rezzy...Thank you for the adventures
Awwwww thank you so much Le Fernz. Beautiful comments from our amazing YT family - we’d love you to stay with us for the new adventures 😍🎉
Wow gutted you are leaving us. My new boat arrives on Wednesday. You have both been very helpful and informative. I will miss the videos but wish you happy travels in the RV. We used to have one and loved it. Good luck.
Many thanks Matthew and we wish you many fun times on the new arrival 🎉 do keep an eye on the channel and we’ve enjoyed having you along 😁👍
Absolutely gutted to see you guys leave the marina but hopefully not for to long. On that note please feel free to call in to say hello anytime and hopefully sometime in the near future we can go out for a paddle together. Best of luck guys and I really look forward to the new footage.
Thank you so much Adscon - loved it and yes deffo re paddling :)
This was more emotional than expected 😂 Loved your videos and very useful guides. As a new owner of MF 895, I could not thank you enough! Good luck and enjoy future endeavors! Will hang around to se what you guys are up to. Greetings from Sweden (thumbs up for that Haglöfs jacket Bob! :)
Awww Hejo, thank you sooo much for your wonderful comments. It means a great deal to us and inspires us to keep sharing our adventures with you X (Love the jacket :)) PS: We need to drive to Sweeden too - it's on our list :))
@@PowerboatingAdventures Hope you are doing well! Just took delivery of our 895! It's a blast getting that thing up on plane 😀 Thanks again for your great videos, everything feels very familiar already thanks to you.
Fantasticcccccc and very exciting for you and so glad you are experiencing this at last. Have fun and enjoy the 895 🎉🎉
You guys are being good parents. Great job on the channel.
Many thanks for that docbryan01 we are looking forward to the next adventures :)
Oh man!! I just placed my order for the same boat with Daniel. If I had known you were selling.....
Thanks for all your MF895 videos, most helpful.
And safe travels on your new Yacht!
Oh wow Jim that’s great news and very exciting. You’re very welcome and we’ve loved sharing them with you. Thank you - the ‘yacht’ will be funnnn. 😁😁🎉👍
Arrrrghhh - I just found your videos because I'm in the market for a NC 895. I've learned so much about this boat from you and your Queen. Maybe when ya get back into boating it'll be a 1095? :D
Many thanks indeed Eckstant and we’re so glad you’ve enjoyed them!! Never say never re another boat. Seeing a friends 1095 in July so we’ll do a film of that :))
Disappointed but family comes first, can you recommend another channel that I can get power boating tips like yourself, thanks for the help
Many thanks Neil and we of course we’re unique 😂😂 in all seriousness I don’t know of another channel which was the main reason we chose to start our channel having looked unsuccessfully for good 895 walkthroughs and an owners channel. I’m sure there will be one or two out there though. Our thanks again Neil - we’ve loved our YT community 🎉😁
You are a wonderful couple and wonderful parents. Your dougthers are very lucky. You will enjoy a lot the new motorhome, mobilvetta is one of the best motorhome. If you will come in italy tell me, i will give you same information or everithing else. I have an old camper and who knows If one day we'll meet in italy somewhere... Good luck!!
We would love to come to Italy - a beautiful country - we’ve been to Rome but need to see MUCH more 😍👍
So shocked and sad you are selling your 895 after just one Covid disrupted Year. However fully understand and respect your decision. Family must come first and boats are a VERY expensive pastime. I cannot thank you both enough for all your entertaining and informative videos. Your channel has been unique as you are both the owner and user of your particular boat. Hence your videos are packed with tips and advice that only an owner and user can give. It has certainly helped me to choose and buy an 895 ( like many of your subscribers). I will really miss your videos. I am sure that your Land Yacht Onshore adventures will be just as entertaining for a new audience of motor home enthusiasts. They will now benefit from your superb and unique videos. Just a sad loss to us 895 owners and amateur sailors! The best of luck for the future Bob and Nicky. You are always welcome to video my 895 next year if you are getting withdrawal systems and need a fix!
Thank you very much John for those kind words. Loved doing the films for our YT community and really pleased they helped you order the amazing 895 - and thank you too for that offer. Our thanks again for being part of our YT community - more to come :))
Another interesting video from you. A little sad that the boat has gone as i was getting into your life on the water, but life goes on as in this case a slightly different direction due to the new mode of transport. So looking forward to your new adventures wherever they may take you.
good luck for the future.
Thank you Robert and very glad you’re coming with us on the YT journey 😁😁
Am gutted your selling your beautiful boat been a real pleasure watching the amazing videos!!
Best of luck in the future hopefully your will soon be back on the water maybe with a different boat maybe a 1095 😊
We are hoping to do a walkthrough of the 1095 soon Christopher :) Many thanks indeed for your kind comments. We've loved sharing our films with an amazing YT community. Land based films will continue :)) Someone suggested towing a 695 behind the MH - there's an idea!!! :)
Best of luck I've enjoyed your boating exploits..... Phil
Many thanks Phil - land based exploits now!!
@@PowerboatingAdventures And a few more MPG
Good luck with your new adventures. Will miss the chats at the marina 🙂
Many thanks Alan - yes indeed and thank you for watching - do keep an eye on the channel :))
many thanks guys an inspiration for all 895 prospective and present owners, you will be missed,
(quick question the 1000miles you registered how many hours did that equate to?)
and wishing you both many more adventures
all the best
Hi Isabella, thank you for your lovely comments. We are sooo enjoying our You Tube family and don’t want to lose you - stick with us 😁. We were at 96 hours for that 1000 and loved every bit! Sending our best wishes and our thanks once again 😍
Hi Guys. I’m about to acquire an 895 this week (in Lymington) and have found your videos most educational so many thanks. I hope your land based adventures go well. I see you were using an inflatable rib. Grateful if you could advise on what size you recommend please ? Andrew
Hi Andrew,
Many thanks for your kind words, much appreciated :)
We had the 2.5m 3D dinghy which was fine for the two of us. Probably could do 3 adults at a push if they were all pretty agile. Our film reviewing the Torqeedo shows the two of us in it and that would give you an idea of size/fit. If you were a larger group then up size from that potentially but that adds storage considerations as below......
Also worth thinking about how you are going to store it and/or use it and launch it as those are important considerations. As you saw from our film we put it on the roof once used to dry out before rinsing it off and stowing it when we returned to the marina. If that's a choice then keep an eye on the weight of the dinghy for lifting out of the water and up to the roof.
If you are planning on adding an outboard there are a few more considerations there too like engine weight and storage and fuel type - electric or petrol etc. The oars provided were very good and would easily get you to and from the beach if you were at anchor on most dinghys. We liked the option of exploring a bit more/further away, hence the Torqeedo.
The 895 lazarette is great for storage as you've seen and the SUP rack adds more options too.
Hope that helps :) and enjoyyyyy that amazing MF !!
Hum just got used to watching you both , we actually brought a new 795 , but only stood on one at the bar at show , would love it if you can do a walk and drive video with the 250 hp on ,I love your videos so informative and most of the questions I have seems to be always answered lol . The very best of luck with motor homing we’ve done it but always hired them , we driven to France , Ireland , Scotland and with the dog we loved the freedom . I keep an eye out for your up and coming videos . Be safe stay well .one very Quick question , how do you get both satellite and normal display on your Garmin ?
Many thanks indeed 63melvyn, much appreciated. Those adventures sound fun and the 795 is superb. Yes do keep an eye on the channel and our thanks again :))
Hi Guys, which boat would you recommend for a few months live aboard at a time in the Mediterranean, budget max £250k.. thanks. Ps looking forward to the Rv content 👍
Well Mark what a choice that would be with such a good budget!! I’d be like a kid at Christmas not knowing what to choose next!! The 895 was great for trips and a few nights away but with that budget I’d look for something bigger with more cabin space and a better sized shower space. That sort of budget gives you a tremendous choice - have a look at the 1095 perhaps. Thank you too regarding the RV adventures - looking forward to those!! 🎉
May i ask how much headroom the 895 had in cabin? Thanks !
I’m interested in buying one 😊
I can stand in both cabins Tom. I'm 5'11" (180cms). The mid berth cabin loses height quickly as you move from the door area into the cabin itself so standing in doorway then ducking down to move in. The main cabin is standing room at the door area for me (a slight duck to get through the door) then it has those steps at each side of the bed so you lose your headroom as you move to left or right of the bed. Main cabin bed extends to 2.1m in length if required :))
👍👍
Thanks Pat 😁
which coast is more interesting Devon or Wales ?
Well now there’s a question!! We’ll just have to travel round each one to finally decide 😁 watch this space …… ☀️🚐
