1997 Beneteau Oceanis 381 - 3 cabin

It is time to find my new boat and as always I'm starting to look at the bottom regarding price and year.
My impression of this boat is that it is very well made inside and out, also very impressive that every window is without any crazing, I only spotted a bit on some of the top hatches.
The Volvo Penta MD22 engine starts right up and also sounds nice.
The owner was ready to make a deal and asked me to make an offer but unfortunately this boat don't have all the things I'm looking for.
Eg. it has no Webasto heater, no bimini or cockpit tent, no steering pedestal cover, no bow thruster, no furling mainsail, and I'm also thinking the bathrooms was to small regarding the possibility to take a shower. If you watch my feet you can see I almost don't have any space to move around at none of the toilet.
The boats name was EOS.
Date for filming : March 19, 2023
The 4. April the seller has dropped the price to 70322 USD and the boat was still for sale.

I want to thank you for showing the height to the roof of the boats or as the Americans say head room, I appreciate it a lot since it avoids problems when buying a boat and brings you unpleasant surprises, regards and good winds

good to hear from you again Tino!

Having lived with a very similar Oceanis (411) every summer for 15 years, I can well recommend it. Seeing your video I miss it, and as you say, the build quality is great!
And now back to watching your great videos on MD2020 maintenance 😊 Thank you!
