We are leaving St Joseph MI to the U.P of Michigan for 14 days and because of you I now have a checklist and each and every year I improve our 460 Express Cruiser and being a DIY person like you I feel more ownership than ever. Thanks for all the video and it means a lot. Thanks
Sounds good, but don't put that list away just yet. . . Beyond what I've shared here on my channel, I have many, many more projects of varying degrees that will not show up here. For more insights, one will need to go to my Patreon Page, as I'll be sharing more there over the coming months.
Would like to see a day in the life of a 370 as compared to the 330. Bed space, storage space, counter usage, tv, settee conversion, aft cabin usage, electric panel, etc. A little reality boating video from inside the Boogaboo
The silhouette of a Searay Cruiser is something you never get tired of…. And yours is no exception! The surroundings are awesome too; enjoy the season!
Thorah is a great lock to overnight at. And, Craig did a fantastic job with the top, as always. Great to see you cruising again. Cheers from the crew of "The Precious".
You asked if he like your videos?? Umm HELL YEAH! You inspired me to get my dream boat. 27ft 1997 sundancer. I love my boat. Inspirational trips and ideas and such. Keep them coming. So much I just purchased a dock for the year. Live in MN so also nice to have it stored there as well. Just need to figure out projects while on the water.
Thank you Ozzy. Your comment inspired ME to keep sharing our fun experiences on the water! I hope you've had a chance to follow along in my Summer Cruise 2022 series, as we got all the way to the Rideau Canal. I have the next episode coming out tomorrow morning, so don't miss it. Cheers and happy boating!
Great video. Great to see you enjoying your beautiful new boat. I couldn't help to notice at 3:08 that you have a paper chart of the west end of Lake Erie. Planning a trip to my neck of the woods soon? Maybe visit your boat former home? You're always welcome to our beautiful Erie Island area.
Hey buddy, love watching the videos of you and J! Knowing that you're heading out soon on holidays, I have an incrediblely selfish ask: motor over, anchor, and shoot a panorama at that side of Snake Island we spent so much time at, oh, what, 45, 46, 47 years ago, on Island Hopper? So many memories of those days with our families.
Hi Ken! Would love to help you out, but we are already well into our holiday cruise, heading down towards Lake Ontario way. Even though we won't be in the area of Fox Island any time soon, I can share a video I posted a couple years ago when we returned there with our kids in search of buried treasure 😉 Here's the link; ruclips.net/video/HS_-fvVr_AE/видео.html Apart from that, the closest I've come to Fox Island recently is when I moved the current Boogaboo from Cooks Bay (and then back again), early in this season fir the new canvas work. If you check out those videos (posted within the last couple of months), you're bound to at least catch a glimpse of that beautiful spot, as well as my reminiscing about the good old days when we were all so much younger. . . If you do get a chance to watch any of those videos, I'd love to see your comments 🙂
Not sure if you saw my reply on the Shade/Screen from. Awhile back. I reviewed the install video and contacted Oceanair, super helpful mine get here Saturday.
Good to her, so thank you. And keep in mind that we can only go cruising in this part of the world in season, so my time is limited. That said, I'm gonna do my best to capture lots of footage from lots of destinations - many brand new - during our current, long term voyage. 👍
Congrats and your first cruise together on the the new boat! Look forward new places, but the old ones are fine by me too. But that's just me. Good vid!
Love your videos! The wife and I are looking for our first boat together. I've owned a couple Outboards but nothing like the Sea Ray Sundancer 340 we're looking at. Your videos have really Inspired us and probably have a lot to do with our boat choice (we've looked at a bunch of boats of various styles but love the lines and looks of the SD). Keep the videos coming!
That's great! But I gotta warn you that if you continue to watch my more recent videos, your eyes will be turning to a 370 Sundancer 😂 Best of luck with your search!!
I have a much smaller vessel, also run up and down the TSW usually between Couchiching to Big Chute. When I'm stuck here banging out e-mails I often have boating videos on in the background. Keep them coming! Two highlights when I'm on the water, any time we pass the Kawartha Voyageur and keeping an eye out for Boogaboo!
Very cool. And it's not the size of your boat, it's how much enjoyment you get out of it! Funny you mention the Kawartha Voyageur, as we happened to spend a night with her already on our current voyage! 😊
@@BoatingWithBoogaboo You said it Paul, we count the minutes until we can get back on the water. Five days to make money to fix them up, 2 days to enjoy!!! We last passed KV on June 30 on the bottom side of Lock 42, she was headed for Sparrow. Beautiful back drop for that size boat. Hope to give you a wave some time, I'll keep my eye open, tons more summer left!
Congratulations on your first little trip on the new boat. The boat looks beautiful, I hope you have a great time this summer. Just to let you know your videos are not boring! I really enjoy watching from start to finish. Take care dude.😎🇨🇦
The more is see you and Anchor girl enjoying the new Sundancer, the more I feel like I may move away from a trawler style boat. At least for my latest cruising needs.
I totally agree about a slightly heavier boat. Okay, you have to push a bit harder when leaving a lock. But it's nice when you step aboard and the boat doesn't budge ;-)
The boat sure does look great , especially with the black canvas , my only concern would be how the bird droppings will clean off the canvas , hopefully not leave a stain , but besides that its a beauty and I'm jealous ........ congrats
Paul, I know you know that I know you know...the videos are great, regardless of a repeated visit to the same spot. The content and commentary are fresh, and even tho you've been there, and we've been there with you (in video-land...we need to change that!), it's all good my friend! I finally got off the dock this weekend for a cruise too...video on my channel soon!
Always enjoy your videos. We are in Lefroy harbor and plan to be cruising most of August. If you see a Carver 3207 called shooting star, stop and say hello!
I'll keep an eye out, but if you're not way, way east of Lake Simcoe, probably ain't gonna see you. We are on our way to brand new locations - even beyond the lovely Trent Severn Waterway 😊
I have a 105+ forecast for the next three days so I'll stay inside and watch the crusin'! The cats were panting like dogs so they get to stay inside. Thanks for the vids!
That's a little ironic, as we are currently sitting aboard Boogaboo, air conditioning running and little Tiny is not keen on coming outside with us. Too hot for him 😸😂
At this late date, we just loaded up the 330 for our first outing of the season. Of course, an hour after loading, the thunder roared and the heavens parted. Hoping for an AM departure to Mackinac Island.
Even if the scenery and routines are the same, you always throw in some interesting new tidbits (such as the comment about the duck bill valves, which caused me to make a note to order some replacements for ours to have on hand just in case). Question: You keep docklines affixed to bow rail, and they stay on even at speed; are they attached with a physical locking device (such as a fender strap) or just a well-secured hitch around the rail?
As I believe I've mentioned many, many, many times, I like to keep everything as simple as possible. I'm continuously blown away by how many folks insist that doing things 'properly' has to involve extra steps, equipment and expense. We just throw them over and pull back through tightly. Easy Peezy.
@@BoatingWithBoogaboo I love easy-peasy! My “co-captain” doesn’t believe me that they won’t come off and get tangled in the props when running at cruise speed…but now I have it on good authority. Maybe he’ll believe YOU. :-)
Keep an eye out for an upcoming video, where we were mostly on plane for four hours, only having to slow down three of four times at narrow passages or passing blow boats. Boogaboo is performing wonderfully 😁
Nice, as usual. I think most still like to see wherever you go - even if we have seen it before too. With the new boat, do you feel any difference in the tracking at low speed? Also, with the increase in the length of the boat, do you feel any appreciable difference in the hull speed before throwing any wake?
Yes, with the extra weight on the 370, the added heft definitely gives even more control at all speeds. Most appreciated when coming into and out of the locks. And she also throws less wake both on plane, as well as low speeds. I think that has a lot to do with the extra length and beam. All in all, a real pleasure to drive - even with some wind. Very happy with this boat 👍👍👍👍
ENJOY YOUR VIDEOS, I don’t see a dingy being pulled or carried. Are you going to install dingy davits on this boat ? What are you getting for top speed ? SHE’S A REAL BEAUTY ‼️🛳⛴. HAVE FUN. Vinny 🇺🇸
I guess you missed it when we sold the last boat, also sold the dinghy/motor and the Sea Doo. No plans on replacing them, as we weren't using them enough.
None of your videos are really repeats, you always have a way of making each one unique. They're definitely of interest to me.
Great to hear! Appreciate it 😊

To a true boater it's always interesting and no matter how large or small I always learn something keep um comin
That's a very true statement. I myself, watch endless boating videos on RUclips throughout the year - some more than once!
Another wonderful video.
So happy you've so hard to bring us alongside!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Would like to see a day in the life of a 370 as compared to the 330. Bed space, storage space, counter usage, tv, settee conversion, aft cabin usage, electric panel, etc. A little reality boating video from inside the Boogaboo
I like these videos. It is the reason why we have been travelling the TSW for the last 9 years!
Thanks again Jack. And ya never can tell who - and where - you'll run into someone you know 😉
The silhouette of a Searay Cruiser is something you never get tired of…. And yours is no exception! The surroundings are awesome too; enjoy the season!
never get tired of seeing any of your videos Love your new boat
Awesome! Thanks. We're hoping to do a lot more cruising this upcoming season, so.ill have many more videos to share from the water on this vessel 😁
She looks awesome Paul. Videos are always great
Thorah is a great lock to overnight at. And, Craig did a fantastic job with the top, as always. Great to see you cruising again. Cheers from the crew of "The Precious".
Cheers Rob🍻
Boogaboo looks great! Another great video. Karona is looking very happy on the new 370. Looking forward to more great videos in the future. Cheers!
Yes, Krona loves the boat as well.
You asked if he like your videos?? Umm HELL YEAH!
You inspired me to get my dream boat. 27ft 1997 sundancer. I love my boat.
Inspirational trips and ideas and such. Keep them coming.
So much I just purchased a dock for the year. Live in MN so also nice to have it stored there as well. Just need to figure out projects while on the water.
Awesome! And yes, lots more coming, as we are currently in an extended summer cruise to parts never seen before 🤓
Watching your videos is not only interesting but I gets me going inspired to get in my boat during the weekends! Your boat does look amazing! Thanks
Thank you Ozzy. Your comment inspired ME to keep sharing our fun experiences on the water!
I hope you've had a chance to follow along in my Summer Cruise 2022 series, as we got all the way to the Rideau Canal. I have the next episode coming out tomorrow morning, so don't miss it.

@@BoatingWithBoogaboo I’ll be watching for it… thanks 🙏

Yes. Keep them all coming!
Will do!
Good to see anchor Girl and the cat back on the boat.⚓
Me too 😃
Lovely new boat, more videos inside your big boat!
Congratulation poul for the new boat god bless you and your family and you new boat enjoy
Glad to see you actually using the boat the way you enjoy. I think it is so cool you can dock up by the locks and enjoy the peace and quiet.

Looking sharp!!!!
You've got the instrument panels looking great.
Glad to see you finally getting underway with the full crew after such a long journey since selling your last boat!
I have to agree with everybody else Paul the videos never get old keep them coming brother really appreciate it
And I appreciate your comment.
I'm actually working on editing one right now - right in the middle of our summer cruise!
Not sure if you saw my reply on the Shade/Screen from. Awhile back. I reviewed the install video and contacted Oceanair, super helpful mine get here Saturday.
Nice! I actually installed a new one on the current boat myself and very happy with it 👍
So glad you are out making videos. I really missed them and don't care if you go back to the same locks. Love the boat.
Good to her, so thank you. And keep in mind that we can only go cruising in this part of the world in season, so my time is limited.
That said, I'm gonna do my best to capture lots of footage from lots of destinations - many brand new - during our current, long term voyage. 👍
Loved this...as always! Please keep them coming. Can't possibly be bored with any repeat locations! And the boat looks fantastic!
Congrats and your first cruise together on the the new boat!
Look forward new places, but the old ones are fine by me too. But that's just me. Good vid!
Keep these videos coming there great ! Not tired of them at all
I always look forward to what you are doing and put together for a video, thank you so much for sharing 😊
Yes most definitely,keep these videos coming and thanks again for this and many more to come
The boat is looking great. Keep the videos going and enjoy your adventures. Cheers from the Monterey crew on the great lake of Ontario.
Always enjoy your videos, regardless in they are repeat locations. Glad you and Anchor Girl are finally getting to enjoy your 370.
Happy to be out on the 'real water' again! 😃
Great meeting you today! Safe travels to you both. Looking forward to more videos!
Tahoe?
@@BoatingWithBoogaboo that’s us!
I love all your content. I check for new stuff almost daily. I'm going to watch anything you put up. Congrats on the first over night 🛥🛥
Great video. Loved the trip. Same place but different journey.
I just picked up a ‘99 380 Sundancer. Haven’t had a chance to take her out and won’t until spring. I’ll be studying the Bugaboo vids closely! Cheers

Your videos are great.
Keep them coming.
Much appreciated .
Enjoy your new boat.
Paul, boat does look sharp! If you think it's worth filming, I'm watching. We go boat camping same place every time and it never get's old for us.
Thanks James. I'm capturing new stuff right now, as we continue our summer cruise.
Love all your videos
Great to see you out on your 1st adventure On your new boat👍
Love all your videos each and every time especially the Fenlon Falls ones. Spent my summers there when I was a kid. Keep those videos coming . Thanks
Will do! And thanks for your comment. Always appreciate positive feedback 🙂

The more is see you and Anchor girl enjoying the new Sundancer, the more I feel like I may move away from a trawler style boat. At least for my latest cruising needs.
Love that feeling of being a million miles away even for one overnight! The boat does look really sharp with the black canvas and fenders!
Thanks Jeff. Happy to see that you guys got away for your first overnight out of your marina.
Looking forward to seeing more!
is I Ijust be able to
I have
I have
I have to do a little
Your videos are always interesting. Love the new boat. Keep up the good work!
I totally agree about a slightly heavier boat. Okay, you have to push a bit harder when leaving a lock. But it's nice when you step aboard and the boat doesn't budge ;-)

You guys should go to Mackinaw Island in Michigan alot to do there! Grand hotel longest porch! No cars can go on the Island!
Yes, I'm familiar with that lovely spot. Just might make it a port of call in a future cruise.
I have a 105+ forecast for the next three days so I'll stay inside and watch the crusin'! The cats were panting like dogs so they get to stay inside. Thanks for the vids!
That's a little ironic, as we are currently sitting aboard Boogaboo, air conditioning running and little Tiny is not keen on coming outside with us. Too hot for him 😸😂

Hi, really enjoy your videos, I have a question, do you do any type of ceremony to change the name of the Boat to Boogaboo. Thanks enjoy the summer.
ruclips.net/video/APOzxHKE7vc/видео.html
@@BoatingWithBoogaboo thank you.
no dinghy on there yet?
When you get up on plane, how long do you stay there? If you were crossing GB, would you stay on plane for hours? Thanks.
Keep an eye out for an upcoming video, where we were mostly on plane for four hours, only having to slow down three of four times at narrow passages or passing blow boats. Boogaboo is performing wonderfully 😁
I noticed you use both throttles when under way. Do you not have engine sync or do you just not use it?
Have it, don't use it. I'm planning on never using it. I don't want it, but the boat came equipped with it.
Congrats - hoping to follow suit shortly as the "must do prior to heading out" list shrinks.
How do you like the V drive
Loved the Vee Drives on the last Boogaboo and still love it on the current Sundancer. This one handles like a dream!
Nice, as usual. I think most still like to see wherever you go - even if we have seen it before too.
