The Ugly Truth about owning a boat... Stuff Breaks...

- In this episode we haul out our 42 Freeman for some service work and repairs. We change all the gear lube, the local dealer installs a new lower unit, we paint the bottom, plus fix the wrap. It's all part of owning a boat!

I’ve spent a tremendous amount of time with keeping up on the boat maintenance. People who go fishing with you don’t realize how much time you put into the boat and keep it going
100%.
@@StanzFam no ugly truth about owning a boat it’s facts . Welcome to the lifestyle 😎
salt water kills period……
A friend of mine once told me; "you're lucky because all the fish you eat are free". Hmm...I keep a 32' Cobia CC in a boat yard and didn't have the heart to tell him my fish probably cost 10 times what I could buy them for at the market! Love the video!!
Haha truth! When people ask about justifying the amount of fish they catch to when paying for the charter I always say it’s cheaper to buy it at the fish market and not go fishing
@@StanzFam those outboard motors can't be rebuilt?
@@stevensaxon8888 can be but it’s easier to replace the power head itself. I haven’t gotten far in the video yet but I know from experience as a boat mechanic a power head is the best option. If it is a saltwater motor than depending on the corrosion a whole new motor.
Cheap ass folks would never own the boat,
It’s always something! I’m glad you talk about the reality of being a boat owner.
No doubt. Thanks for watching
Capt. Nick, lots of work involved in the pride of owning a boat.
No doubt. Thanks for watching Ross
Stanzman you are my hero. Got everything fixed on way back home something breaks and no cursing at all. Impressive
Me and my daughter got pictures by this boat... usually Jamaican Mike is the one around when i swing by... never had the chance to see you brother...but love this channel. Respect and love for you and family.
Thanks for watching.
Mike is the man, hope to see you next time you’re at the marina
@@StanzFam Thanks for your message brother...means a lot you take time to respond. Bless you and your beautiful family. Your vids are so cool and awesome. Keep the great work my man.
People think charter Capt is a glorious job. You are a commercial fisherman. That's a very tough, gritty and difficult way to earn a living. Respect to you sir!
Thanks! I did the charter grind for many years but fortunately have expanded into a couple other business endeavors. Charter and commercial fishing definitely ain’t an easy way to make a living
@@DENNISTunaKiller I do work hard, so I appreciate that, but I hate to break the other news to you. Somehow I make more money than the marina makes (and I don't consider what I make to be a ton, although its a fair amount). Between high end fishing charters, fishing schools, selling boats, endorsements/sponsorships, Social Media income, real estate investments I've done well but of course always want to do better. Hard to take a pay cut and go work for the family marina when there's not enough income there to buy the things I like owning. Sure the family marina was a stepping stone into the fishing business and you're right that my father owns a "famous marina" but being famous doesn't mean it's an extremely lucrative business. The value is in the property of the marina, not the business (yet). If he ever sells it, yes we would have a pile of cash. You probably didn't know father has been married 4 times but I'm sure you've heard divorce isn't cheap. Living in a trailer for 4 years with my mom brother and stepdad wasn't all that long ago... my first job out of college was making $650 a week working for billionaires... Those people had real money. Don't sell yourself short, work hard and you can have the things you want. Don't forget I spent nearly the first decade of my career on a 1982 34' Crusader the marina owned... the cheapest charter boat at the marina... a charter boat it could afford... (not a Freeman)
@StanzFam I apologize for that comment it wasnt right or fair . you are a hard worker and your a great captain sorry again im an azz
@@DENNISTunaKiller all good. Just like to be honest about the situation and put more of the story out there. They say timing is everything in life and a little bit of luck goes a long way. My dad still thinks I'm crazy for buying big center consoles but I bought Freeman boats when they were just getting popular and had no idea they would become such a lucrative investment for myself and so many other people who bought them. The gap is closing but who would have thought any of us would have been making 20 - 50 % selling a used boat after 2- 3 years. No doubt the marina has helped get me started and played a major role in my upbringing and my life, but working at the family marina wouldn't have afforded the lifestyle I wanted (the boats, houses, travel, kids etc). I'm far from where I want to go but we're still working hard to have as good a life as possible. I never expected that social media would be such a big part of my life and income as well but here we are.
Great video Nick. You are so awesome. Can't wait to see you again. Alan& Maria
Thanks for watching! Hope all is well
love these videos when you actually do the work yourself, and talk in details with how much everything costs. Keep 'em coming ! You guys have a great channel !
Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching
Years and years ago my dad bought a boat when we were living in Florida he pulled into the yard back the boat up on the trailer and our neighbor next door he was from Alabama walks over looks at the boat looks at my dad and says in a southern accent y'all know that boat is nothing but a hole in the ocean that you throw your money into and my dad being an Italian New Yorker turned said well if that's the case when you wanna come fishing you gotta buy the fuel started laughing. The next day we all went fishing and the neighbor bought the fuel in the tank lol
Hahaha! Too funny!
And when ma daddy had a boat…it was yellow!,, duh
I really like how you keep all your content real, much appreciated.
Thanks!
Happy Mother's Day Sarah😊.Alan&Maria
Thanks 🙂
44 years old living on jersey shore and bought my first boat three years ago. I have since bought another boat for mid shore fishing. Thanks to your videos, Iv been able to do gear oil, oil, thermostats, plugs and some other stuff including replacing my trim lift next week after it pissed all it’s fluid out. Thanks for all your videos. Now, if I can only catch fish like you. Lol stay well
I enjoyed that. interesting. thanks for sharing Nick.
Thanks for watching 👍🏻
I know boats are a lot of work & lots of fun, I can see you are a good Captain who really care about his boat. love the show, every time I watch it, makes me home sick for the Keys.
Thanks for watching 👍🏻
My first summer in college, I scraped barnacles, pressure washed and painted boat bottoms in St. Petersburg, FL. That was 1981 and the 100 degree, 100% humidity days all but killed me! We worked primarily on Hatteras and Bertram yachts , but didn't have the masks or safety suits! I rode my bicycle to the marina every morning and back to the campus of Eckerd College every evening. I started at $3.75 an hour for 12 hours a day, six days a week. They gave me a $3.00 an hour raise the second week. I was too tired to spend much money so I had some decent savings at the end of the summer. I had so much fun and learned so much about boating, I would have worked for free!! I still fish with some of the friends I made then and always have a place to sleep and a boat to use when I am passing through St. Pete. I wouldn't trade that summer for anything.
Great story. You remember every bit of it! Awesome that you still fish with some of the people you met back then
awesome vid, maintenance is part of boating, mine spends more time on the trailer than on the water
Thanks. Agreed
Hi Nick, is Pipo. Just to say Happy Mother’s Day to your wife, Mom and every mom in the family. I hope you get the boat in the boat back in the water soon. I hope to see you at the boat show next weekend.
Thanks! Will tell them.
Unfortunately We won’t be at the boat show this weekend
Brings back a lot of memories working own boats for 20yrs
🙂
That’s crazy! I’ve never seen one of the blades break off of a prop!
It’s happened 2 or 3 times now on this boat : /
I think the props are made a little different now or something
Nick, how old are the props, stainless has flex in it and when they get aged the flex leaves the steel, remembering you were saying 2000 hours or something? I've seen lots of stainless props with cracks over the years, very easy to spot a crack on a polished stainless prop
@StanzFam prop metals softer to preserve lower unit integrity.
ps
Did you say boat's going up for "sale" or "sail" as in fish?
The saftey of the crew the vessel and the marine environment. Technical name for boat maintenance.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
B.O.A.T. bring on another thousand, what we go through for tight Lines Nick!
That's old school.
Now it's B.O.A.T.T. for another TWO thousand
😂🙌🏻🙂👊🏻
I like to grease the threads on the nut for the prop too.
👍🏻
Another great video buddy . Love watching the videos as they are extremely educational and enjoyable!! Capt Andy
Thanks Andy. Appreciate it
Great video of what it's really like to own a boat.
Thanks Tim!
There's only 1 thing better than owning a boat ...... and that's having a friend that owns a boat.
Haha truth
Nick rockin the mini me with Claire on hand! The older she gets, the more she looks like you. You should let her grow a mullet like you had. 🤣🤣🤣
Haha thanks! She is a little mini me
Awesome video, Nick. There's a lot of work taking care of that monster!
Thanks for watching!
Milwaukee 1/2" drive impact ratchet would make the work a little faster. Love what you do.
🙌🏻
Wow...selling the boat already? Time flies when we watch ocean adventures with our favorite captain. Sucks that prop gave way like that.
Hope to sell in the Fall now, thought it might be late summer but sounds like the new boat will be delayed
Gotta sell before it loses all of its value lol
I loved my stay At Budd and Mary's and I believe if you take Care of your equipment your equipment will take care of you.
100%
Glad to hear you enjoyed your stay
205k subscribers!? I remember when you just started this channel. Congrats
Thanks! Almost 5 years now but we are still having fun
As a sign wrap installer I cringed like finger nails on a chalkboard when you guys were patching the wrap but hey I get it...its a fish killing machine not a show piece.
😬
Good thing you got extra power back there.
For sure, can still run on 3 if needed
A lot of work. Thank you Nick!
No doubt. Always something. Thanks 👊🏻
Hope you get everything sorted out. I love you boat its beatiful.
Thanks. Appreciate it
One damn beautiful beast of a fishing vessel capt 🤙🏽
Thanks 👊🏻
Hey Nick, Great Video.
Thanks! Appreciate it!
Boat= break out another thousand. It's responsible for your livelihood so it's got to be done. A labor of love.
🙏🏻👊🏻
Lower unit lined up and installed 😢1st time!👏
Took a couple tries but had to shorten the video so did a little editing, but we got it on there 👊🏻
I owned a boat and lost it in hurricane Ian. All good. Joined a boat club. For me it was the best move. So much cheaper.
Nick, if you go for topnotch gear topnotch repair and maintenance bills are included. And they are not like something you want happen to often.
👍🏻
Boats are expensive. Some guy on a TV show years ago said, "You know what boat stands for right? Bust out another thousand." He wasn't wrong. My dad caught a gravel bar on the snake river in the 1997 Chaparral 2130 SS and I wasn't even onboard to witness it. But he tore the skag off and shredded both stainless props on the bravo three. The props at the time were $900 a piece and all said and done that mistake cost a few grand. My dad did say that it was pretty crazy running aground at 50 mph and then looking back to see some softball sized rocks coming back to earth. We learned later that a gravel barge dumped fill in the wrong spot and made a shallow spot that should not have been there. I miss that boat. It had a 7.4 and that 454 coupled with the bravo three counter rotating props got with it. On glass that damn thing would do almost 70 with me and a passenger. Those factory big block 21ish foot boats became hard to find not long after the mid 2000's I think. Now all these 21's have silly little V6's. Someday I hope to buy a 2130 SS with a 454. It was expensive to run but you can't beat the 454 and bravo three.
Yikes, lucky no one was hurt. Boats definitely are expensive 🙃
@@StanzFam Thanks for replying Nick or StanzFam! Love the content. It was a pretty wild ride from what I heard. 50-20 mph can't be fun and it slammed everyone forward hard.
A boat is a hole in the water that you throw handfuls of money in. Sorry for your troubles but thanks for sharing!
🙌🏻
Congrats on figuring out basic boat maintenance 👍
Thanks 🙂
i have a struggle just dealing with my 23 ft lake erie boat. put a new 400hp v10 merc and ima spend 6 months in the poor house. cant imagine having to deal with 4 outboards...
😬
Stan love that boat I bet she rocks how fast is it 😊 best safe and shows are awesome
Thanks! We love it too. It will run a little over 60 mph
B.O.A.T= Break Out Another Thousand. Hope the Broad Minded is good to go. Be down in less than two weeks. Can't wait
👍🏻👍🏻
I am OCD with my boat, thank god I have wrenched since a kid so I can do must work myself to save money. My bilge area is as clean as it was brand new. The COVID boat buyers are starting to figure it out that boating is not cheap especially if you farm everything out to the marina. Hate bottom painting though, I double roll my boat and touch up every season to extend the time before doing it again.
100%. If you can do the majority of maintenance and fix and lot of the stuff yourself you’ll be so far ahead compared to the majority of boat owners. I know a little bit but honestly wish I knew more, especially with the mechanical aspect.
Like this video almost more then fishing bud
Thanks for watching! Glad to hear it
I am the proud owner of 3 boats...
A sailing yacht.
A small cubby cabin fishing boat and a Rib.. tell me about it!.. owning a boat its like the name.. Break Out Another Thousand. ;)..for my times 3 hahaha
Well said!
It’s cool you know how to a lot of your own work.
Learning slowly . Thanks for watching 👊🏻
Makes it a lot cheaper when you are able to put work back in the boat to keep it sea worthy and fully functioning.
Never mind on a stone crab vid you just indian key bridge further down rt 1
👍🏻
Yes sir! But always maintain your boat it will prevent much more issues.
👍🏻👍🏻
to true Nick me and my brother where working on a boat there today
👊🏻
I can still get micron 66 here in Massachusetts from west marine
👍🏻👍🏻
After Micron 44, the rest have all been CRAP.
0:07 one of the best sounds is hearing those motors start. IMO, the music is the worst because if muffles the sound 🤷♀️
👍🏻
Them girls are so precious. You should be so proud. I got five boys I didn’t get lucky enough to get a girl
Thanks! 🙂
Bust out another thousand , to pour into the ol hole in the water !
🙃🙃🙃
I like those Enertia Eco props on that gray motor!
Was good till a blade slung and cracked the cavitation plate on the brand new lower : /
@@StanzFam I saw that! Did the props have a lot of hours or maybe hit something? Don’t usually sling a blade on a good stainless prop, but it does happen.
Did you try any 4 blades before settling in on these ship wheels?
love the vids
Thanksn
awesome
👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
when your in the stream every week chasing broadbills the boats and motors get absolutly battered. gone through a couple myself lad
100%
Nick, you are very good at explaining what you're doing on the boat motors. How come you're going to sell that boat? It really looks sharp!
Thanks Pam. Part of the business model for me. The resale value has been very strong with the long wait times for a new boat (3-5 years). Also working with a few of the other companies they have new products out which we like to try out and help give exposure to
What’s next Nick?
@@StanzFam Is there still a wait that long as of mid-2023? I thought that demand has cooled tremendously in the past year with the much higher interest rates on loans.
Why you dont give more fishing video whit you and cattamaran and go zwortfishing i mis this cant off video.
Love the channel very mach.
Greeting from Belgium and my Georges.
Have been dealing some some health issues the last 14 months so haven’t been offshore as much as I used to. Hopefully later this summer I will start getting out there on a more regular basis again
There are two happy days for a boat owner the day you bought it and the day you sell it. Lol
😂😂🙌🏻
BOAT. Bring out another thousand. I wish it was a housing only every time. Boat looks good it is what it is
👍🏻👍🏻
Love your stuff but as a professional vinyl wrapper. That patch won't last. Those wrinkles needed to be worked out!
Love your stuff!
Thanks for watching. The patch is holding so far, hopefully makes it a few more months 🙏🏻
Two happiest days for a boat owner:
Day you buy it, day you sell it.
100%
Good job nick
Thanks for watching
Dang it man, I know the trials one goes through with boat ownership!
For sure 👊🏻
those engines look amazingly clean - SaltAway after use? how are you flushing them - well done
We use the spot zero water system to wash the boat every day. We usually spray the engines down under the cowling once a month and hit with some blaster silicon spray. Thanks for watching
Its a constant struggle...a balancing act really....but its all worth it when the drags start screamin 🤙👍✌️
👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
So what you are saying is you got all the good out of this boat in two years?
Just part of the business model for us to sell boat every couple years. The used ones are valuable since the wait time on a new one is 3-5 years on most models
there's no cavitation plate because that doesn't do nothing about cavitation, it is an anti-ventilation plate because it helps preventing the air to reach the prop
My boats 50/50. 50 % percent work, 50% percent fun. Still worth it? yeah...
Nick my son and I watch your videos all the time. You and your family have really made an amazing life for yourself! Congrats!
Quick question: I noticed they are painting the barrier coat right over the black Ablative paint …I always though you had to sand that off before applying the barrier coat?!
Thanks for watching! Tell your son we said hey.
I’m not positive but For the touch ups where the bottom paint or barrier coat is gone I’ve always seen them apply a little fresh barrier and then paint right over it with the bottom paint without sanding. I assume if it was a larger area that needed it they would sand it down and apply more barrier to a bigger surface area. The paint/overall bottom was in decent shape so I’m guessing they didn’t think we needed too much prep work
No ugly truth just facts @stanzfam

B.O.A.T. Break Out Another Thousand!!!! Lololol
100%
Wel you know what they say
B-bring
O-out
A-another
T-thousand
Did you ever hear back from Sharrow? I’d be interested to see their prop put to a proper test on the broad minded. That’s a real testament, if they hold up to real use by a proper charter boat.
The first freeman that ran them supposedly has good low end numbers but not what they were hoping for in the mid range for running. Hopefully they keep making more options and we can try them out
You have a bad ass channel ‼️🛳⛴ Vinny 🇺🇸
Sup Stanz Fam. 😍🇺🇸🖤🤘👊🍻🍺
🙋🏻♂️
Going off your video title the ugly truth is the cost of having a boat. Monthly payments if you financed. Space at home to store the boat, if not you'll need to store it at a marina and that will cost by the foot of your vessel. Boat insurance monthly or yearly. Maintenance fee, boat property tax yearly depends on what state you live in. County assessor value your boat 500k with a 1.1% tax you'll be paying 5500 yearly to uncle same. On top of that mortgage bill, home insurance, gas/electric bills, mobile bills, internet bills, water bills, trash bills, car insurance bills, car payments if not paid off. Food and family bills. Haha! You better have good income if you want to have a luxury life.
100% truth! You nailed it! Luckily we don’t have a yearly county tax but sales tax sure is expensive when you buy the boat and register it in Florida for the first time
Get a lock n lube grease gun quick connector.Wont pop off.
Noted 👊🏻
BOAT…Break Out Another Thousand….the two happiest days owning a boat….the day you buy it and the day you sell it.
100%
Stuff breaks alllllll the time don’t think I’ve ever been out on my boat with the live wells speakers depth finder trim tabs trim and jackplate all working at least one thing don’t work
So true 🙌🏻
cheaper to paid for a tour.. when you are done for the day, you go home with your fish... no hassle.. :D
Awesome Video ! Wtf with the PROP !! Oh my goodness. What causes the blade to separate? I run a single engine 300, knock on wood I never have that happen.
It never happened on my old 37 but this is the 2nd or 3rd one I’ve seen on our boat the past year and a half now. I’m thinking the props aren’t made as good as they used to be, but hard to say
Ain't that the truth!
👋
😬😬😬
and I thought you just rode around and looked pretty
🤠😬😕
I think we all work on the boat more than fishing lol.
100%
People thought you were playing the boat, but actually was being played by the boat.
I have 2 fishing boats, I spent a lot of time taking care of them
It’s always something : /
B.O.A.T. Bust Out Another Thousand!
🙃🙃🙃🙃
You need some new zincs lol
100% , soon 🙌🏻
My group has the boat chartered on 6/3 looking forward to fishing on a freeman for the first time.
Awesome. Good luck! Hope they bite for you all 🙌🏻
Big boy toys. You gotta have big boy pockets
100%
Or get a job as a Captain and play with the owners toys.
Good news for me tho, cause I fix em!
🙌🏻. Somebody’s gotta do the work 🙌🏻. I’m better at breaking them : /
Not to bother you where is the tall bridge short one at b and m route 1 I guess
Indian key bridge 👍🏻
42’ for sale later this summer? Upgrade to 47’?
It will be for sale it sounds like in the Fall now. Production running a little behind. Planning on a new one but Not a 47, (not there yet)
