How I chose my Island Packet 320- What to Look for in a Used Boat

This video is about How I Chose my Island Packet 320 - my journey searching for my new boat. I learned a lot about what to look for in a used boat. I had narrowed the search to either an Island Packet 32 or a Pacific Seacraft 34. Follow me as I show a selection of the boats I considered. If you are thinking of buying or selling your boat, I highly recommend Terri Ivins of Whitaker Yacht. She was my broker and she is great. Her email address is [e-mail]. Be sure you tell her Capt Kris sent you!

After I purchased my boat, I had to install a new Yanmar 3YM30 before I could bring her home to Key West. Here is the video showing the install: czcams.com/video/lpFoADuldso/video.html

Hey Capt Kris great video I really liked your layout. Looking forward to your future videos :) be sure to document your experiences on the boat I am thinking about getting a island packet as well and I would love to see any work you have to do on the boat and how you go about fixing it.

I'm delighted you found your dream boat! You couldn't have made a better choice than an Island Packet 320. As the owner of one of the otherboats you considered, though, and because your video has already had so many views, please allow me to make a correction. OFFLINE, located in Mystic, DOES have air conditioning, however it's not listed in the specifications, a serious omission I need to get corrected immediately. Good luck with your new boat!

[@southernstar1367]

Hi Steve! Offline is a beautiful boat too! Glad my video helped point out the omission in your listing. Thanks so much for the kind words. Hope you find a buyer soon! ⛵️⛵️

I hope your purchase price was figured into the motor install. Does SV have a generator to run the ac while away from the dock?

Fantastic job. You bought a GREAT BOAT. You also landed with our best yacht broker, Terri Ivinis, she really knows Island Packet Yachts...almost as good as I do..ha ha Hayden of #svIslandSpirit in Grenada

[@southernstar1367]

Thanks Hayden! Love my new IP! Hope you are doing well!

What work needed to be done on Mighty Mo?

[@soldozer]

Mainsheet is in my marina and STILL for sale. Something wrong with it?

[@krisbaker3158]

That was the boat I drooled over. Couple things. No windlass at all and the location. I decided to start my serious search closer to home...thanks for watching! 😊
