Have you completed an upholstery project on your boat or are you planning to a complete an upholstery project on your boat in the near further? Leave me a comment...

Just watched this and Part 2. Did this work well?

So glad to have joined this club and met such wonderful people! Looking forward to more adventures on and off the water! Be Well, Melissa

What was the price and how much was the offer made?

So easy with know Beach and botas flores in a salted Walter 😅

Love your channel will you guys be at the Sailboat Show in a couple of weeks in Annapolis? Also what year is this Catalina?

Hi Tony and Kathy! It was great meeting both of you yesterday. Are you on Facebook or Instagram? We are looking forward to your travels.

Thanks Richard for your insights and following. Keep watching for what happens next and what the real issue was which is not in any manual but we expose the flaw.

Your don't learn anything from this video. Poorly done. Read your manual or better yet take a Yanmar engine course avaiabele at several locations.

I have the same model Catalina and have found the same issues seating the strainer back in the Perko body. It usually takes a few tries to get the strainer to seat. The top of the strainer handle usually drops to the water level when the proper seating is achieved. I'm not sure I saw that in your video. Maybe yours is slightly different than mine. I never use tools to tighten the wing nuts, fingers only. As long as the rubber gasket compresses, the strainer won't leak. The location under the mattress in the main cabin is a problem when cruising since you need to dismantle the bedding to get to it. That is also a good time to check for water or debris in the Racor primary fuel filter bowl as well. I always remember to close the seacock while cleaning the filter, but it seems to me the top of the filter may be above the water line. Next time I clean mine I'll experiment!

We are still at the planning phase. I love the Catalina 380's but my question is, do you have enough storage? We are probably pretty close in age and errr dimensions, so I'll be curious if this is enough space for you. I like the Catalina 42, fewer stairs into the cabin and a nice big hatch.

Where do you plan to sail? You certainly have enough diesel cans. I wonder how 400+ lbs of diesel setting on the bow that far above the waterline would effect the sailing (I'm not a sailor, just curious how it would change the experience).

If Catalina gave the lining crack a thumbs up that would be good enough for me. Funny I lived right around the corner from the Catalina factory and didn't even know it till the Fosters did a tour.

I found your channel from looking at your boat at the dock

Sunsets, Dreamsets

Beautiful Boat!

❤😂 hjmkju

You could have a motorhome and have to deal with the monotony of the road, idiot drivers, stop signs, red lights And enormous fuel consumption And settle for KOA campgrounds. Or you could set the autopilot, kick back, burn very little fuel if any, anchor in any protected cove you can find for free. I know which I would rather do..

Greetings from s/v Dream Weaver of Biloxi, Mississippi. Catalina 38.

There is no way I would have purchased that boat in that condition.

Some larger Catalinas (e.g. 470s) have a an inadequate surface weld within the rudder on the rudder post. A few boats have lost their rudders as a result, one while in mid transit in the Pacific.

So you are crawling all around that boat lift. Who inspected it?

Three digit boat model names were built in Florida. Two digit, California

We are close to entering the stage of life and pursuit of a sailboat as you. Out of curiosity, where do you plan to sail from, to, etc?

What's with the loud music when your trying to listen, pointless

It’s not a map. It is a CHART

I am Basic Keelboat (101), Basic Coastal Cruising (103), and Bateboat Chartering (104) certified and none of them make me a competent sailor or ensure I know how to sail. Knowing how to navigate on paper charts is essential to plot a course accurately but I doubt taking this course and gaining this certification will ensure my competency .

This video really got me excited and not in a good way! That Florida broker broke so many rules regarding the deposit! My husband and I are local boat brokers and could not believe they planned to take a deposit and not refund the entire amount if the boat was not satisfactory upon personal inspection. The process typically is to make an offer which when accepted, the 10% deposit(fully refundable pending personal inspection, survey and sea trial)is then wired and holds the boat for you. I wish you were using a buyer's broker to protect you during this transaction, it doesn't cost you anything and your broker would be holding your money in their escrow account.

a boat or big boat can be a real pain and owners don't even know what they are getting into. You have to be willing to jump in the water and clear an anchor with sharks. You guys have done your research so you are not going into this blindly and you are to be applauded. Ok, well the sharks thing, ha ha ... not so much but you have to get wet from time to time and clear de-anchor

Such a pretty boat!

"captivating" is not the word for that walkthrough.

Like the tunes and the boat isn’t bad either

mantap👍

That was great!! Enjoying your content!

I think our area is still stuck on stop light. Oh well...

Traffic signal is what i call it.. from FL..lol

LOL That's quite hilarious looking back on it!!

Lhoooi😮😮😮

Oh man, that was a great trip! 🙌

insane 💪

Dope

That was awesome and I see you were making huge way with only the head sail. That sail is very powerful as you have found out. We dropped the hook one night at Southport during our moving the boat from Virginia down to here.

Your boat is parked In between the seas the day and blue cobia and you were chillin at the flotilla Christmas parade at the end of the dock

Hey Tony 👋 this was a great passage with you! Congrats on all your next steps!!

The US Coast Guard Auxiliary also teaches navigation courses. Locally they are night courses in a classroom so you get all the instructor interaction you need. The cost is in the $30-$40 range. Good for you to take the course. Now buy a chartkit for your boat. A chartkit book is much easier to use that full navigation charts simply because it is much more compact. Personally I can't imagine going out on the water without the ability to read charts and navigate. Of course the college I went to college had marine navigation as a required course series. It is also useful to learn how to use your radar as a navigation aid since radar will give you both bearings and ranges to things. So a radar bearing on a buoy will tell you where you are.
