- This is a video on our search for our perfect loop boat. We never thought the search would be so exhausting and go to so many states. We also didn’t expect to be disappointed multiple times with the boats we looked at. But our search for the perfect boat finally paid off and our Maiden Voyage warning! They said do NOT cross Lake Michigan today but we did anyway! Say hello to TrEd Water!

Thanks to epidemic sound for providing the music for this video.
I wouldn't make a habit of tempting fate on the Great Lakes.
I’ve ran the Pacific Ocean but mostly the Mediterranean Sea in discreet conditions but nothing scares me more than bad weather in the Great Lakes.
Yeah, the water is cold. Even in summer you can get hypothermia. The waves are different it seems on the Great Lakes. It's probably just perception, but they seem closer together than the ocean when the wind gets up. Not big rollers, but tight frequency nut thumpers.
The two happiest days of a boaters life, when you buy your boat and when you sell your boat. Enjoy!
unless you get a nice small one that gets you on the water. this is like a rv with boat issues
BOATS SUCK
Be grateful you won one in a row! NEVER push your luck with predicted weather on passages!
Congrats on the boat purchase, video tip sound quality is actually more important then video quality. Get a good mic and dead cat for the wind/ road noise. Use lavalier mics when you can.
Thanks for the advice. We will be looking into that for sure!
Did 3 tours in the Great Lakes. Small boat station, Icebreaker (140ft) and our HQ in Cleveland. I've also been on two different 210's out of Florida and experienced a hurricane on both (81 and 98). I rather ride out a hurricane at sea then deal with the confused seas on the lakes any day. Even on a ship designed for heavy seas, pulling out of the Sturgeon Bay ship canal into Lake Michigan while there's a winter storm flowing from the south, makes riding out a hurricane seem like spring storm. Unless you are 100% sure you can make it across before the weather turns bad, best to just stay at the pier. I've spent days/weeks out at sea looking for those to took the chance, and failed. Always file a FLOAT PLAN and make sure your EPIRB/PLB is operational. Fair winds and following seas.. 73's
Took jet skis across Michigan in much worse weather
Because you made it doesn't mean it was a good idea. The fates smiled upon you, they might not next time.
Nice boat. Congratulations. In the future, If you want us to hear what your saying, maybe you could kill the music.
Music ridiculous
I have family that has property on Kelly’s island ,my bride & I bought 2 Yamaha wave runners & went from Kelly’s island to put in bay ,that was the hardest ride EVER !
No lights on the wave runners ,we barely made it back to Kelly’s island before daylight.
I was sore for a week ,& NEVER MADE THAT TREK ever again !
I was told not to do that
Congratulations on your new boat. However, very unwise to take the boat across the lake! If you said you checked the weather reports yourself and based on the pattern, you saw it differently, that is ok with me. I have been going out on the Lake for over 50 years, in all conditions. It's much different than the ocean. Obviously many of the people commenting are not familar with lake Michigan. Yes, 5ft waves are ok, but when you are dealing with wave interference, it's a whole different ball game.
You’re right, it’s not the North Atlantic, but it’s still nasty at times. I can tell you now though, after spending time on both, and being a commercial fishermen on the North Atlantic,,, the ocean is much more terrifying, but I won’t be pushing either limits.
@@freedomflyer7319Agree mate Aussie commercial fisherman here who thinks a nice day out is 15-20knots and anything under 10 foot swells is like glass smooth. difference with us is we have to go out in uncomfortable and sometimes unsafe weather just to feed our families.
Few times i thought i would never return home. few friends never did.
Worse trip was 35-45 knot winds and seas over 40 foot in our 30 foot aluminium boat..
When you check out San and Rev of "What Yacht to do," NOTE WELL that they do not allow "Techno Noise" to interfere with their Narrative. That more than anything makes theirs one of the BEST Powerboat series on RUclips.
We are working on figuring out that background noise issue. We are new at this so hopefully we will improve with time. Thanks for tuning in and following along.
What's with the overwhelming background music? If I wanted music, you tube has that, I came here to learn about your boat and your adventure. This is Almost as Devastating as music over Raw Engine sounds in racing that guys love to hear, Not the music!!!
@@ceisarsrepair7958 thanks for the feedback. We are working on improving our video editing skills. We value everyone’s perspective as we are trying to put together a channel that people enjoy and we can share our adventure with. Thanks for tuning in to watch.
@@tredingwater144 you've got the potential for a Great channel, just lose the music completely. We watch it here at the marina, yacht owners would like to see more once the music is gone.
Thanks👍👍
when i look at a boat, as long as the hull and engine are good, that's all that matters to me. the small stuff you negotiate price for and fix later on.
I agree. There were some other small things we really didn’t bring up and primarily focused on the larger items to massage the price some. In the end I feel we got a very well cared for boat and paid a bit of a premium for that and that’s ok.
Also thanks for following along on our adventure.
Congrats on good crossing and successful first cruise. have fun with the new boat. I look forward to watching more videos of your cruises.
Thanks for watching!! We love it so far!
Wave height isn’t the problem the frequency is
That's right
Congratulations on the beautiful new boat!! 💯 🙌 👍 👏 ⛵️ ⛵️
Thanks!! We do love it. Hope you subscribed and are hopping on our adventure!!
Congratulations.
Awesome job to captain and crew for successful crossing! Keep safe!
Thanks! Hope you subscribed and can follow along on our adventure.
@@tredingwater144 yep subbed! can't wait to see more loop fun!
Mckinly marina…thats where i have my boat
Great taste on the list... HAPPY BOATING.
Maybe you should wear a life vest when your on the bow like that by the rails not too good of a boater influence rite there
Must be nice safe travels
Great looking boat PS no shoes on board LOL
Gorgeous boat, I like the lighter interiors also. $35 for a parking ticket, they are up to $100 here in LA.
Thanks a lot. Also thanks for following along. We will have more content coming soon!
We were really surprised how much we liked the light interior. Now having had the boat for a while we are totally sold on the light interior. Spending so much time aboard we really want and now are thankful for the airy feel and colors.
I grew up on Lake Erie. We had a 30ft 1989 Celebrity Sport Cruiser with twin 4.3 engines. We ran out of Dunkirk, NY to Port Colburne, Ontario and it was 15+ft waves. Pretty much ruined boating for me. I didn't go the next year but it was smooth. My dad took that boat out in some nasty stuff.
Lake Erie can be a quick and nasty lake for sure. You really should reconsider being out on the water. Hopefully our journey can inspire you to try again. Thanks for following along.
wr9ngv¹5 fit biat fun
Wring itvtmcan it giid boat. 15 foiter naster chef 16 fout waves
Congratulations on the new boat. But the music was so loud missed a lot of what was being said.
Hey Jon. Sorry about that we are still learning the editing thing. Check out our other videos I think we are getting a handle on it now. Thanks for joining us on our epic adventure.
God Bless you and your beautiful family sir 🙏❤️
What’s your bridge clearance height? It looks way taller than 19’ 6”.
Our electronics fold down which brings our air draft to 17’ 2”
Nice boat and great job!!!👍👍👍
Nice channel...looking forward to following. I boat out of Grand Haven...and Lake Mi is its own beast!! I always check multi sites for weather and waves.....!!!
Thanks for following along. We have found windy and predict wind to be our preferred apps so far.
@@tredingwater144 My Radar is another good one!!! Good Luck!
@@davidmilitz2275 just downloaded the app. Thanks.
We're almost in the "same boat" lol. subbed. best of luck guys.
Thanks so much. We are going to need it. Lol. Thanks for following along!!
Great video guys, loved your mini experience. Very informative as i am also on a verger of buying a boat myself and doing adventures just like yours. Enjoy you loop trip and have a safe journey.
Question: could please say what is the company of the boat.
Sneh we have a 2002 Sea Ray 480 Sedan Bridge. We say get out there and explore our great world. Thanks for following along on our adventure.
@@tredingwater144 Never allow the "background" music to become a distraction or compete with the Camera's talking or spoken audio track. With a strong clear camera audio track that is not picking up wind and engine noise, the volume of the back ground music track would have been borderline a bit to loud. But with the weak camera audio voice track the background music in this one was way too loud...distracting...fighting with the voice track. Congrats on the nice boat and glad you had a smoother ride than predicted by the experts.
@@timhardman4764 thanks for the feedback. We are new to video production so the feedback is appreciated we are working on improving the audio and figuring out what works. Hopefully the videos will improve. Thanks for following along on our adventure!
seems like luck was on thier side THIS TIME but their general attitude towards advice is the kind i avoid in who i choose to ride with or let on my boat but I respect the skippers choice to go and while I may not agree I dont have enough info to question their command decision.
I'm interested in your experiences ... BUT the music is louder than your words. I'm definitely NOT interested in a concert.
Thanks for tuning in. We are working on figuring this all out. Hopefully we will get better as we go.
The boat will bring you joy twice! The first time you buy it and the second time you sell it!😂😂😂
I notice that the boat was in Milwaukee but had Florida registration. What is the story with that?
Previous owner registered it in Florida to save money.
Never can trust those weather people. LOL Did that broker say he got in trouble listening to the weather forecast?
Lol. I know right. Everything we looked at we felt we could proceed. So we did. Lol. Thanks for following along on our adventure.
Just for refrence, the camara flattens out what the waves are actually doing by a large % ….it never looks like what it did in person …
I just saw a 480 for sale in Grand Haven. I was wondering if it was yours?
No that isn’t ours. We are still out here braving the waterways around the eastern US and Canada. Thanks for following along on our journey!! More videos coming soon.
Congrats on the boat and thanks for the video. Will go through any other vids you posted as we're planning on a loop. Hoping you don't have constant music over your voices. Would much rather hear you. But, as I have hearing difficulties (cost of military service), most of the time the music was clearer than your voices. Suggestion only, congrats again!
we have been on the great lakes in bad weather - never again.
Thanks for following us on our crazy adventure. More videos coming soon. It can get very serious quickly. While we did ignore the warnings we did carefully re-examine before continuing on.

Gosh, I love those yacht boats. If I was younger and single, I'd be living on my yacht... being I make pretty good money somewhat. Boating is exciting to me. Adventure!! I had a little 16ft ski boat once and me and my wife went out on it about 5:00 in the evening traveled about 20 miles to see the fire works on the water beside the North Carolina battle ship in the capefear. It got dark. When head back and we got lost in the inlet. Full moon was out. It was beautiful, but I keeper on riding. My wife fell asleep. Finally made it to the channel at 3:30 in the morning. Long story short. It was an adventure. It was scary but we both had fun when we look back. Oh...no navigation systems. Lol
Yikes!! Always a little scary when you get turned around especially in the dark. But agreed once you get to the other side you hopefully can switch fear up into “oh yeah that was exciting!” Thanks for following along on our adventure. We will have more videos coming out shortly. We have been just to busy with making memories and exploring. Lol.
Did you get a chance to see the gigantic wooden shoe in Holland? Touristy, but kind of worth a look around.
We did but what we didn’t get to see was the tulip festival or get to tour the tiara yacht factory. 2 things we would have liked to do but the timing was off. Thanks for hanging in there with us on this adventure.
@@tredingwater144 That side of the lake is much nicer IMO. I've spent many summers in that area, but just a bit further north.
You need to ditch the music your audio gain on your narration is to low. If want to have a successful video channel with many followers take my advice. And get microphones an do not rely on the camera mike. The audio is atrocious.
We are working on that exact issue. Hopefully with time we will get better. Thanks for the comment we appreciate the feedback. Also, thanks for following along!
Screw the music
Continue off that cuz you look good
Cool stuff, Chicago native here and I've always wanted to do that. And I love the west coast of MI, as a sea kayaker who likes bumps I can say it's usually rougher on that side of the lake.
Thanks for taking the time to follow our adventure. Lake Michigan is an incredible body of water. The west side of Michigan is a beautiful shoreline. But the rock faces along your side are equally spectacular.
Nice work on the click bait. Should told the old owner to stop being a karen.
A short ways up the Lake it was quite out of control. We got a little lucky that day.
Iwe have crossed Lake Michigan in a 350 sea ray sundancer twice and it was fine
How old? How big is fuel tank
Looks easy to board??
Taking a big boat on a dangerous lake with warnings for a first real trip is plain foolish. Too risky and a lake is not forgiving at all.
Doug in hindsight it was probably a bad idea thank goodness it all worked out. Moving forward we are really paying close attention to the weather windows. It’s awesome you are tuning in to see what other havoc we wreak on this adventure. Thanks for following.
That boat should be able to handle some nasty stuff. I've seen videos of the 560 Sedan crushing big waves.
wróñg
@@mkp3824 better safe than sorry. Lake Erie is very unforgiving
Wrong
13:20 is finally when they are out in open water....
turn the music off during dialogue sheesh
He didn't trust the bot he sold ya
Ya will be reading about these people….in the Obits section 🤪🤪🤪🤪
Don't disrespect the wheather report ?
Wheather report😂😂😂😂
Black sole shoes on da boat is a no no did you christen the boat first?
OMG!! That is a HUGE catch. Ok it’s confession time. Yep those rules have changed. But the bigger problem here is this….. wait first yes we did christen the boat. But…… we have NOT performed the renaming ceremony yet and now I think Neptune might be a little upset with us at the moment. But…. Bananas have not been on the boat yet either. So in some ways we are safe. This is risky business we are in the middle of for sure. BTW thanks for following along on our adventure.
Wring
What happened to #13? Navigator is one on my wish list
Congratulations. THAT boat is $money$, it’s one thing to buy it and it’s another thing to operate it. He’s running 20MPH, that consumes about 100 gallons of fuel per hour. On a 6 hour excursion, that’s 600 gallons of fuel at $4.50+/- per gallon….that’s about $2,700 to go out to lunch and back. Do that 4X a month and it’ll be better than $10 grand. For some…no worries.
That's right
Nothing like annoying music playing while you are talking. Next time play the intro music for about five seconds then turn it off when you are speaking. My 11 year old makes TickTock videos better than this
Thanks for the feedback Mike! Those 11years olds are way more tech savvy than us old people but we are working to improve our production skills. Thanks for watching.
Your props look very exposed. If I bought that boat I would have some cages made to protect them from grounding damage, submerged debris etc.
I haven't watched all the videos yet and certainly haven't read all the comments so this may have been mentioned already but I'm concerned about the height of their boat. I'm thinking of the
Lance I know the boat looks tall. We have equipped the boat with retractable electronics on the hardtop. Check out the boat launch video or our Facebook page there are some videos of how it works. With the electronics down we are 17’ 2” of air draft. We really wanted the 52 or the 56 sedan bridge but the hard top itself was too tall. Thanks so much for following along with us on this adventure!
@@tredingwater144 I'm glade to hear 17'2". I was with a friend years ago who had to turn around there. He wasn't doing the loop, just lived in the Chicago area, but still.
Thanks for the response. Safe travels.
Lance, forgive my ignorance. I am from Chicago, which bridge outside of Chicago? What exactly is the "loop" ? Great lakes to Atlantic to the gulf then up Mississippi?
@@mznetwork4294 the loop is circumnavigation of the eastern United States basically. It’s through the great lakes into the Illinois river then into the Tennessse river out to the gulf around Florida and then up the east coast then back into the Great Lakes. “The Loop”. Thanks for following along with us too!!
@@tredingwater144 thanks for answering. I have done half the loop. Pentwater to the keys thru river and gulf.
Nautical Wheelers 😂
Plenty of people with anti- authoritarian tendencies who believe warnings, procedures and safety rules are bullshit will be encouraged in their own decisions to ignore all of it.
None of my business but the way you ignore that warning text comes off as pretty foolhardy.
Thanks for following along on our journey! It was most certainly foolhardy. Although it was not completely ignored I did spend time after receiving it studying the weather ahead of us and made the decision to press on after not seeing anything too alarming given our time frame. Of course should something have happened on the water which slowed us down then it would have been 100% a foolhardy choice. Luckily that did not occur and the lake only began to “wake up” as we arrived at port.
The Music is Too Loud
It's called an inspection not a survey! And the background music wrecked your video. Totally not the place for it
Thanks for the feedback Marty we are working on that. Thanks for tuning in. Hopefully our video editing skills will improve! Thanks for following along!
Wa wa wa
Great presentation and congratulations!!! Love the music..i have no complaints on rhis presentation,seems you have many haters in the comment department lol..
Why push your luck like that. A few dats mean nothing in the big picture
music on top of music makes it hard to understand what your saying , pretty dumb to cross the lake with inexperience and didnt heed the sellers warning
I wish i was a millionaire
So douchy
The lake let you win. You were still foolish.
Dumb luck
CLICK BAIT!!!!
Thanks for following along on our epic journey! Luckily Mother Nature took it easy on us despite the warnings.
Dont watch!!All they do is talk!no lake crossing!
Just because you got lucky doesn't mean you were right to try it.
Oh it was a pretty risky move for sure. Thanks for following along!
@@tredingwater144 thats a big boat, it can cross in 12-15 feet waves with no problem if the captain know what he is doing,,,,
@@MrKveite1 it is for sure a pretty sea worthy boat. But in heavy water I am sure everything inside would have been scrambled up. BTW thanks for tuning in hope you subscribed to follow the fun.
@@tredingwater144 well the clue is just enough speed to raise the front a bit so it goes over the waves instead of through them meaning they wont break the boat down and that will also prevent the massive hits for each wave and everything inside would get pounded a bit but not totally demolished.Boats can normally handle a lot more than the captain can but a good one knows the limits etc.
@@MrKveite1 Thanks for the advice. I will definitely give that a try if the situation arises along the way.
Keep trying your luck and see what happens. Roughly 10,000 shipwrecks and 30,000 dead in the great lakes. Much bigger boats than that.
The music is horrible, very distracting.
Let me make a suggestion on the music you have in the background while talking. I also noticed it on your intro video. Music is too loud as background. You might want to lower the music volume....otherwise, good vids so far up to your departure video.
Yeah we are working on figuring all this stuff out. Hopefully we will get better. The background noise issue we are still trying to figure out too. But thanks for the advice. We want these to be good for everyone for sure.
One piece of equipment that I would recommend getting is a set of two-way headsets. They aren’t called “marriage savers” for nothing. Also I would strongly suggest that anybody walking on the deck while getting on or off the dock wear a floatation device. In the locks, you will find that it’s a requirement. So get in the habit now. One last piece of advice, communication is the key. You can watch “What Yacht to Do”, Sam and Rev are great at communicating with each other.
We do have headsets and we love them for sure!
I have followed Sam and Rev for a while, they have good content.
I didn't see any waves over 2ft. Thumbnail was BS.
Thanks for watching! This journey is all about the experiences this was the first one! Thanks for following along.
The music adds nothing to this story, in fact its bloody annoying. Too loud, totally the wrong type of music anyway. I couldn't hear most of the speech passeges...why do it. Also, you were lucky on this trip. That boat has a shallow draft and would be thrown all over the place in really rough seas. Inexperienced boat owners who ignore weather forecasts are frankly stupid. Also, your first long trip with a bad weather forecast, and not one of you had a life vest on...
Anybody that hasn't boated on Lake Michigan has no idea...it's the most dangerous lake in the United States for boating and swimming. It's shores run parallel, causing unique wave shapes. The confused shapes of these waves combined with high windage make boating treacherous and contribute to rip tides, one of the most dangerous and deadly things swimmers can encounter.
life vests on the forward deck, please. Inflatables are comfortable. I'm an avid great lakes sailor and a former auxiliary member.
my dad, a US Navy vet who sailed the Atalantic says Lake Michigan has moments like a return trip from Europe in the north Atlantic
Fools,there are bold sailors and old sailors but no old bold sailors.
As a captain with a few lake superior crossing in small sailboats is on never taken that chance,and my boat has crossed oceans before still would of stayed in
Not a Captain I would want to travel with. Poor judgement. Got lucky.
Visit the maritime/coast guard museum in Ludington, MI. Beautiful town but you will respect the lakes after seeing the history of all the shipwrecks. The Armistice Days storm of 1940 produced 40ft waves. I didnt think my son and I would spend over 3 hours in the museum, but we read and learned everything we could. It had my 11 year old son interested that long so.... Only 5 minutes into your video but you apparently made the trip. Nice boat and safe travels, been on the lake enough to know conditions can change real fast.
music or talking--pick one ..jeez
I hear ya! We are working on it. New to this working on our editing skills hopefully we will improve as we go!! Thanks for following along!!
Get rid of the music, must be new to You tube
Thanks for the advice. Yes we are totally new at this. We hope our video quality improves as we go. Thanks for following along with us!!
Looking forward to following your journey. Please lower the music in the background it’s a little distracting.
Being a boater we’re all looking to live vicariously through your adventure.
"Wishing You Fair Winds and Calm Seas"?
Hi Robert. Do me a favor check out our latest video and give us your thoughts on this topic. We are new to this and we are working on our editing skills. We are also not videographers but we are having fun trying and hopefully people enjoy it. Thanks for following along.
@@tredingwater144 for beginners I think the quality and content of your videos are very good. I have watched your most recent video and I did like how there was quality content and less background music which didn’t drown you out.
Keep it up! You’re only going to get better. Have a great Labor Day weekend and be safe.
My wife would have killed me, if I with held the wind info. Then told her afterwards.

I like your channel. I wish you would not play music, or at least turn it way down so I could hear what you are saying better. Thanks for sharing
Hi Mike. Thanks. We are new to this and are working on that exact issue. Hopefully we get better with time. Thanks for joining us on our journey!!
I think maybe americans hate lifewests......no one uses it here😱anyway...loved the boat....enjoy😍
Takk, vi elsker båten. trolig bør ha redningsvester! Takk for at du fulgte eventyret vårt.
Enjoyed my little 18 minute mini vacation!
Might need some of your photography skills along the way though.
Beautiful boat. That boat can handle quite a bit on Lake Michigan or Superior, but if you fail to respect those waters, they will kill you dead in a big hurry. I've spent some time working in the Carribean and on Lake Superior when I was younger. I was taught and learned to respect those waters. We were out on Superior collecting Lake Trout samples (WI DNR) when a pretty good gale got up, we were in a 65 foot boat in 10-12 footers (Small craft warning was issued). We barely made it back, I thought we were goners. THAT was a harsh lesson! A fishing friend of mine used to go out of Milwaukee with his bass boat and fish salmon over there. Well, he never hit any real wind over there and got overconfident....he was out there this summer with his longtime girlfriend and good buddy fishing Salmon and the wind got up...bass boats are NOT made for that water! My friend and his girlfriend were both pretty overweight and certainly not fit, neither were wearing life jackets, his buddy on there with them was. Wind got up, waves got big...boat swamped. My friend and his girlfriend both perished, their friend that had a life jacket barely survived with his life, even he needed resuscitation when the coast guard got to him. He was fortunate they got an emergency call out. They failed to respect that big water and paid with their lives. God bless you Brian the "big guy". Super nice both of them, a senseless loss.
Hello from Newfoundland, Canada…. Enjoyed your video & nice boat congrats….. most skippers think no one can handle their boat as good as themselves haha good job proving them wrong….
Hello there. Thanks a lot. Would love to visit Newfoundland someday. Thanks for jumping on board and joining our adventure!!
Id divorce. Wife takes 7 minutes to read 5 small paragraphs, wtf. hopefully hes planning to use her as an anchor or something.
I’ve crossed Lake Michigan more than half a dozen times . If you research the weather and monitor , it’s not terrible.
Nice video, great boat. I could do without the music though.
