Can’t beat having friends with offshore boats. Had my share of them too, but now if I want to go I meet them at the boat ramp, fish and come home afterwards.
Thank you so much for this video! Moving to FL in 3 years and have been having a hard time deciding on a boat. Makes total sense to have a pontoon boat in the Keys.
1 day left to go……..Who is going to the 2022 Fantasy Fest in Key West, Florida? October 21st to 30th this year’s theme is: “Cult Classics and Cartoon Chaos”
You both make good points, as usual. The value in a boat is what it does for you and your lifestyle. Its a fine looking rig. Maybe we can by and see it on our way to Big Coppitt. Keep living your best life Y'all.
Very nice boat. Not sure what it comes standard with, but I would at least hang a 200 hp on it myself. I had a 1964 Aluminum Starcraft up until about 5 years ago. It was still holding together very well.
If you are a boater then buy a boat, otherwise find a friend who has one and send time on there’s . The fun is the same without the maintenance issues of owning one.❤
Thats a nice pontoon for a lake but I don't think it will hold up to the saltwater and sun in the keys. All of the vinyl will come apart in five years unless its covered. The aluminum pontoons will corrode with the harsh salt water. Yall should consider a Parker sport cabin. plenty of room to hang out in the stern covered or not covered and a cabin to get out of the weather if a storm blows up., and best of all it will last for many years.
$92K!!!! Wow. My first home was 21K. But boy. That’s a boat. Now comes the insurance. Not to mention the homeowner insurance for living in the Keys. That’s got to be murder. I’m inland in Sebastian bye 4.5 miles and my insurance doubled this past year, $4200! I can only imagine
So let us know how much you still like it 5 years from now, provided you still own it. lol Salt and aluminum arent always a great mix. As for the head, you obviously have a special wife. Many would never tolerate that type of a setup. Its simply one step above a porta potty just sitting on the deck. Fact is that there is no perfect all round anything, including boats. There will always be a few tradeoffs. Show me an add in a magazine where it dosent show the crew with their caps on backwards and hanging onto something while running in a center console boat, even the very large ones. Yet what has become the most popular boat for offshore saltwater use, especially in the Keys. Years back maybe 20, a couple bought a house on the canal not far from me. They had moved from Long Island NY and he brought a 25’ cuddy cabin boat with a single diesel engine with him. I thought, what a perfect boat for here in the keys. But in a few months the boat was replaced with a 25’ center console with a T top and a 225 Yamaha outboard. Reason was he had run aground a few times back in the gulf with the inboard. Within about 2 years the center console was gone also, because he couldnt get under the low bridges around Duck Key because of the T top. In my opinion, what he should have done was to have kept the cuddy cabin diesel inboard, and bought say an 18’ flats boat as well.
Smokin' Hot. GiddyUp, in the real estate biz in the Keys, how much better does it get than to entertain prospective buyers? Man, if this don't beat farming, I don't know what does. Go big or go home. By the way, think of al the cool video you can make!! Best wishes for a good decision.

Ohhhh you guys that’s amazing, love it! It is so spacious and luxurious. I hope you guys get that one 🙏🙏 can’t wait to see your next video 😁
Thanks!
We're over on the canals north of Daytona. Lots of sandbars here as well. Pontoons for the win!
That looks like an awesome boat! And the price doesn’t seem steep either.

Thank you, haven't given up the ProCat yet though, she is still a great boat!
@@GablesOnTheGo off topic why did you guys move from a canal house to a house off the water? Do you store the boat at canal house?

True, we would have to cover it between uses.
So let us know how much you still like it 5 years from now, provided you still own it. lol

Don't do it get

Not my type of boat!
There is a boat for every type of activity, that's for sure.
Pontoon boat 🤦🏼♂️
A pontoon?!

Unsubscribing!

Nah! Have fun!
Hahaha, nothing is set in stone, we just like trying new things.
