Good morning back atcha. It is a really big boat but with just a little bit of practice you TOO can make it look that easy. Of course, minimal current and favorable wind combined with a competent deck hand and dock hand and we ALL look like a pro.
Super easy with no wind and you have bow & stern thrusters. All of that changes when the wind kicks up, you have a single screw, you have no bow & stern thrusters. BTW, that boat is a classic!
@@AskCaptainChris thrusters make it easy even for the most inexperienced. I do, however, get concerned that some captains didn't learn rudders and sticks (no thrusters and no conveniences) for when those conveniences are not present.

@@AskCaptainChris my boat is 50' and on occasion , I make it look easy ! Lol
😎
@@AskCaptainChris and thrusters!
We have no thrusters but have twin Cats 3208s.
@@carpediemwithLesli Those Cats should be turning BIG PROPS and docking should be easy. I agree a thruster would be nice but not required.
Classy, classic!
That swim platform they added is awesome!
Easy stuff. Good job Capt. 🎉

Beautiful boat and well kept. The accessories such as thrusters make docking easier.
