First of all i want to congratulate you all again on the purchase of your awesome new yacht. It is simply a beauty. You guys did an great job on your first real sea trial. I have to give you your props. It won't be long them you two will be master helmsman and helmswoman. I can't wait until your first maiden voyage. Enjoy
Really appreciate you checking in on us! We are planning to get her on the water really soon! We are going to keep practicing it will be second nature to us soon 🤞🏾🤞🏾😏
My wife said she liked seeing you drive thar boat! And we are waiting to see your first outing at Guntersville. Enjoyed meeting you today, and thanks for the stickers!
Oh I was on a whole new level of joy when I got it up to speed. 😂 Please know, the pleasure was all mine! 😃 It was so wonderful meeting you all as well. Safe travels!
Congratulations on your new boat. One thing I found over the years is when it’s rough out there, you either speed up to smooth out the ride or slow it down a little. It seems to be trial and error and based on the length of the boat. My brother had a 36 ft Sea Ray, so like I said the length of the boat also will contribute to the ride.
I am much more timid on the throttle than my hubby for sure. It has been fairly smooth cruising on the lake we’ve been out on but we’ll definitely take the recommendations you made and just try to find that sweet spot if/ when we find ourselves in rough waters again. Thanks for watching.
Hey congrats on your new boat! You'll be old salts before you know it. I suggest you pick up a copy of Chapmans piloting (the boating bible) It covers everything boating like rules of the road, channel markers, buoys, radio procedures safety stuff. Let the fun begin!
Thanks so much! I’ll look that up. Sounds like a great thing to have on the boat. Indeed we’re ready to get on some water again. Thanks again for watching.
We own a Ranger Tug R-23 of a similar size and layout. We took delivery in Pensacola, too! Then we brought her home to North Carolina. Also, big Jeep guy (now my sons have them), and we tow with a Ram 2500. Great video of your delivery experience!
Yes, Ranger Tugs are really nice. We toured a R-27 during our boat search. We hated trading the Jeep in but we just kept upgrading our travel trailers so the tow vehicles kept changing. Thanks for the kind words and checking out the video. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Hello! Just started watching. We are looking for our first boat. I really appreciate you showing the nitty gritty. Can't wait to catch up on the rest. Congrats on your purchase... Nice!
So glad you found the channel and you are liking the videos. Yes, everyday gets better in boat life. Happy boat hunting to you and try to enjoy every part of the process!!!
Hi guys, congrats on getting the girl home. Can't wait to see your first "solo" ride 😂...and,by the way, your are a really good pilot🧑✈️. Amazing docking. Ciao🇮🇹
@@NoahSonicDiaz The 895 we strongly considered was trailerable but a bit out of our price range. I also think that depends on the laws where you are as well. The beam was pushing it probably in most places.
Congratulations!!! I’m so happy for you guys! We live in south Louisiana and own smaller (20’) boats. We’d like to get a bigger one day to sail the great loop.
@@BoatLifeinFlorida Thanks for watching. It has served us well. We have not taken it too far off shore or on any long distance trips yet but we want to in the future. It is a little small on the inside for a family of 4 adult sized people and a dog … so if you have a large family, strongly consider the 895 for a bit more living and extra cabin. Happy Boat Hunting. 🙏🏾🙏🏾
I remember when Sea Ray used to rule boats in this class, specifically the Sundancer and Weekender models in the 24’ to 27’ range. Instead they decided to go the goofy day boat, bow rider route and abandon years of reputation building study, all around boats, I guess to go after the Florida market. Look at all of the sales they’re losing to boats like this, Cutwater, Ranger, even Regal which are all making towable, family boats that you can overnight in. All Sea Ray had to do was re-engineer the Sundancer to capitalize on the trend towards outboards and I’ll bet they’d be in better financial shape.
It is so much competition in the tug style space. I guess some companies just decide to do what they know will sell best because the tug style boats definitely are not for everyone. 😊 We love ours and want to use it more often. Thanks for coming by the channel.
10:54 It's approaching 10 years since the first design and they are still mounting the compass in the centre of the boat rather than in front of the skipper. 🤦♂
I think what the deal is so many people are relying on electronics to navigate that the compass is an after thought. I use my compass because I’m old school but if I could put my GPS right in front of me, it would be a good thing.
What did you like most about the video? What would you have liked to see? Comment 👇🏾

I take directions pretty well most of the time. ☺️ Definitely nervous and excited 😬 about that first time without Adam (our dealer rep) ☺️

It doesn’t appear to be a problem in the location it is in, if needed. I hope it never becomes our only source for navigation. Thanks for watching.
