It's not always easy with new builds since the spec and price can change so drastic. When it comes to brokerage, I've no idea why some channels hide this info when it's the 1st question any buyer is going to ask 🤔
Omg, what a BEAUTIFUL vessel ! The amount of storage can only be truly appreciated by someone who has lived aboard a boat. The accouterments that tie the window coverings, pillows & bed linens, to things like the sinks in the heads, bellissimo ! What a comfortable home she would be. And the engine room: The engine room, which has been my domain since I was a lowly QMED, and this girls ER lea es me drooling. I'm sure the new owner is excited ! Congratulations !
Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. I really enjoyed my time on this one, and I'm not surprised this one got a lot of attention and sold quickly. I'm hoping to get onboard similar boats soon 😎
Best quote I've heard this month: "To put this in perspective, this is like buying a three bedroom home and it comes with a boat" Wonderful review, Garnock, and very fitting for this fine yacht. With big yachts, it's always first about the engines. What a fine work space in which all four of them do their work. The owner really needs nothing beyond a thorough set of skills to keep everything humming while either going down island to the south or down east to the north. One fuel bladder and Bermuda can even be in one's sights.
Thanks Jack 🤠 I honestly can't think of anything this one needs besides some grub and drinks in the galley. Everything has been serviced, upgraded or replaced already 😎
Shawn Rhymes here. I enjoyed the walk through of this yacht. I live near Jacksonville and I wish I could afford to purchase the yacht. What I've done with the old Christmas classic The Night Before Christmas will have to take off like a rocket before I could even consider such a purchase. Again thanks for the video. 😊
Small world! Glad you enjoyed the video. I'd love to make an offer on these boats, but for now I just get to pretend they are mine for 30 mins 🤦♂️ Maybe some day 😉
😁 I'd love to know if the boat next door just needs a real good scrub or if there is more substantial damage. She looks a nice boat if she was in good condition.
Thanks! I personally liked this one a lot for having the perfect balance of modern creature comforts and electronics etc, but in a classic design. It's like adding Android Auto to a 66 Mustang 😁
very nice little ship. or should i say fairly large home. never thought about it in that perspective. and you're absolutely correct. again, nice price tag for the quality of the boat. thank you for the tour sir.
I actually saw this one the other day while out filming. She's looking great under her new ownership. Still a head turner as you walk along the pontoon that's for sure!!
Wow! She's a beauty! I'm partial to DeFevers anyway, and for a 1988 that boat is in outstanding condition. With that tender the asking price almost seems like a bargain. Thanks for the video.
Glad you enjoyed it. This one got a lot of attention, and I am honestly not surprised. A fantastic liveaboard and with a ton of time, money, and effort clearly invested in recent years.
Love these videos, I live vicariously through them/you. I would love to go into retirement with a boat like this as a vacation home/hobby. I have no clue whether I could handle it, or what it would entail to get the necessary training or licenses, or the costs of upkeep for such a huge boat, but am in love with the idea of it.
We can but dream 😁 I've heard insurance is a challenging one if this is your first boat. They would prefer you to start smaller and then upgrade, similar to cars and motorbikes. Weather permitting, I'm filming 2 trawlers tomorrow, 1 of which would be perfect as a 1st time boat at around 38ft.
I'm based in Jacksonville, Florida and so is this boat. I just did a quick Google search and it says 235 miles from Jamaica to Cayman Islands. This one is supposed to have a range somewhere near 800 miles. That being the case, I'd see no issues at all in making that sort of voyage 🤠
I have to be honest, I was really hesitant to watch this review because of the age of the boat, but I'm glad I did watch... A boat of this age needs to be hauled out for a complete survey, from bow to stern... The upside, for $300k you're getting a nice boat, however, IF you can afford to put another $150k-$200k into it you'll have a better boat than a newer boat priced at $500k or higher...time and $$$ is what will make this boat "perfect"... When fitted out and finished, this is the kind of boat that one motors to the Bahamas, anchors offshore for an extended period of time before moving to the next island paradise...
She would be a great island hopper for the Caribbean. On paper it may read like an old trawler, but it doesn't feel it when onboard thanks to all the maintenence and upgrades that's taken place over the years. She will make a great liveaboard cruiser for someone, hopefully very soon 🤠
@@-bigdog negligible amount, You could add a small chest freezer somewhere to more than make up for the small amount of lost space. Along with a drink cooler somewhere else.
Thanks for watching. I have been running my channel for almost 3 years, and this is fast climbing its way up to being the top video since I started!! I can certainly see the appeal with this one.
Considering her age, she is outstanding! And there is more opportunity for further upgrades to make her even much nicer. I like that it has a water maker! How thick is the hull? Fiberglass? I'm willing to sell my house for her. But, I would need a surveyor first.
Nice boat, I was thinking it was just about perfect till you got to the engine room. Not a fan of the 3208's. All the other needed upgrades could be done pretty reasonable.
This boat was on my list to go look at and was the top boat, sadly it is under contract before my home in CO sold. Kind of depressing to see a nice video review now that I cannot have it lol
I'm confused, do you mean when the owners bought it last time it was on the market? I can double check with Mark, but my understanding was that this one was still for sale 🤔
@@GarnockReviews no I am looking at boats right now, several days ago MZY emailed me to tell me it was under agreement when I inquired. When did you shoot this?
@@GarnockReviews yea theres another one in FL that doesnt appear on YW and has been for sale for some time, but I am also a little nervous about old turbo cats and a 30+ year old boat that size to take back to the Great Lakes.
I was told 22ft which rules her out the loop. That being said, the radar arch is on hinges. I'm not sure what the height would be if you uninstalled all that frame work on the flybridge, and then lowered the arch. My gut says she still won't clear the bridge for the loop.
Can't say for sure for this boat, but in general there are 2 main reasons. The 2nd anchor normally has rope so that in the event of an emergency, you should be able to raise it by hand if there is no windlass. The other reason is that rope is lighter than chain, so rather than 2 heavy anchor setups, you have 1 heavy and 1 light.
It is a backup anchor or available to run off the stern if you need a second anchor. Using mostly rope rode makes it easy to deploy in the event of an emergency and easy to retrieve. If all goes well, it is never needed.
couldnt help but notice the ocean 53 MY on her port side also one of the most creative designs of her time. its a shame the way all those were treated. i have never seen one that was properly maintained. they all look like rats. truly sad. nice showing of the POC. thanks
I've been fortunate to get onboard several Ocean Yachts, and you're right, they don't all receive the treatment they deserve. They are great boats when maintained well, with a great mix of offshore fishing but with comfortable accommodation onboard too.
I don't recall seeing a bow thruster at the helm, and I don't see it mentioned on the listing at www.yachtworld.com/yacht/1988-defever-poc-8850460/ I'd assume one could be fitted if there isn't one already.
@@GarnockReviews I'm Canadian. I need to spend 6 months in Canada to avoid messing with my benefits. I'm also in the greater Toronto area. So either coast would work. Too tall for the great loop though.
It looks like this one is too tall. The height I was quoted was 22ft. Not sure the height if you removed all that framework and arch on the flybridge, but that takes away from a lot of the appeal 😉
That's a lot of engine for this kind of boat 3408's can output 600hp+ (440Kw) each @ 2000rpm,, but for best cruising on would probably run them at 1200 rpm, so if you don't mind the fuel guzzling @.4lb/hp/h you can ramp these engines up to 2200 rpm @ 800hp and maybe she will get up on a plane @24knts (80gal/h) and you can try some water skiing.. LoL Not quire big enough for a permanent crew of 2 for a charter, but plenty nice.... Cat ® G3408 (Industrial electric generator engine ratings: (190-)317 bkW (255-) 425 bhp @1800 rpm and 249 bkW (332 bhp) @1500 rpm {16,000h TBO)) (rebuilt @$24k+) Nice addition to your Florida Condo and Cessena 441.
I love powerful engines in cruising yachts not necessarily for speed, but if you hit strong tides or bad weather, you should be able to power through it. I was once on a 30ft sailing yacht in the Irish Sea with the engine on, and both sails up, and still technically going backwards as the tide was as strong.
The last I knew, she was under contract but not 100% sold. I'd recommend reaching out to the broker to confirm. Their contact details are within the 1st minute of the video 😉
They are getting tougher these days with everything from cars, homes, boats etc. If I had the time and money, I'd gladly offer full asking on this one 😎
I personally liked it. However, the good thing with changing the decor is that at least the boat is fully functional. You could sail away today and upgrade / customize as time and money allows 😉
It's not impossible, but both finance and insurance get more difficult the older the boat is. It's key to having a boat survey well which I believe this one will.
This is a very nice boat, but it will work someones butt off keeping it this way. I always wanted to live on a boat; until I didn't. In three years I learned what not to like. I lived on a 44' trawler in Florida, and you NEED another home. It will get small quickly. You will learn about turbos, diesel fungus, Black Water, Bottom maintenance ect. This is good for Coastal cruising; not blue water. Just saying 300K is just the beginning. Nice boat though
I love all ships but if this is so amazingly decorated then what isn't? Not one person watching this video would have picked that horrid countertop color if they were designing a boat...The contrasting white/wood was gross looking. Felt bad for those cute blue sinks for having to live there:(
No es mi estilo pero aprueba. Falta una meza mas amplia rebatible por falta de espacio si. Por lo demas esta bueno . El paso a seguir es invitar 4 o 5 chicas bien chevere y a navegar si si🤣😁😄👍
I appreciate your channel but this is sad. I thought maybe $100k, fine but this is Like touring a 30 year old mobile home in a trailer park. No expense spared? Samsung fridge, micro, 4 year old mattress, tacky carpet. This boat needs a 6 figure refit. $300k too much. Pride of ownership? Min. Chain should be 100 meters. 800 mile range on a boat like this is not impressive. Also it's an aft deck, not a cock pit. It could use one though. Cheers and no offence intended to you. Try again😊
The contact info was about 15 seconds into the video. Here is the Yachtworld listing with more info too www.yachtworld.com/yacht/1988-defever-poc-8850460/
If I had the time and money, I'd love to see if that boat next door could be fully restored easily. I've seen old commercial fishing boats and workboats look like they are on their last legs, and be brought back up to like new in no time at all.
Sorry Philip, but this one went immediately under contract. She sea trialed and surveyed last week. There is a line of people waiting to make a 2nd offer if the deal falls through. Even on here, it's got well over 80k views in under 2 weeks.
@@GarnockReviews its a crazy world we live in now, people are paying over 90 g's for pickup trucks. Total insanity. Btw I wonder what that boat cost when it was new.
Costs for so many things don't make sense to me. I plan on buying a cheap 2nd car in the next couple of weeks. What was easily under $5k a couple years back, is now more like $10k.
Question for you; Why, in any well-regulated society, would any individual want or need more than $1,000,000 per year? Why, in any well-regulated society, would any individual want or need to live in poverty? But for the fortunate with that sort of money a boat like this is a doable proposition, and why not?
OK, but, let’s talk safety (USCG certified 100 ton Master here). Is any prospective buyer interested in the condition of the hull? Has this vessel had a recent marine survey? 36 year old vessel with lots of time on the engines, but no comments on their condition or history ? Very unprofessional.
I look forward to watching your RUclips videos to compare and take notes 😉 I recommend all buyers for any boat place an offer subject to sea trial, survey, and engine inspections. This yacht is no different. At face value, I didn't see anything that required urgent or immediate attention when onboard. You can clearly see this yacht has had thousands spent on her over the past few years by the owner. It's my understanding anything that was damaged or dated has since been repaired or replaced.
@jayrobertson232 Excellent point. It's also grossly unprofessional to remove comments that bring to light the fact that this boat is 35 years old and made of fiberglass, and fiberglass tends to weaken with age. I would have never known that, had it not been for that one individual's comment stating that: a. the boat was too expensive for her age and b. The age issue with fiberglass hulls. Unfortunately, his comment, while it was a bit crudely stated, was true. *Yet it was taken down.*
@jayrobertson232 I hope you don't mind if I subscribe to you, sir. You seem to gave more integrity. Ever thought about starting up a chan. here? I'm sure you would be doing prospective boat buyers a lot of good!
I noticed the boat next door was filthy disgrace, i wouldn't show this boat next to that really makes someone wonder what conditions this been through also horrible color design choices for those bedroom comforters, makes it really look old

I personally liked it. However, the good thing with changing the decor is that at least the boat is fully functional. You could sail away today and upgrade / customize as time and money allows 😉
Maybe a condo would be suitable for someone concerned about decor.
Well i guess after u buy it not hopefully alot of maintenance like a house but 299k. Ill get a house that will hold value
I’ve heard banks won’t finance a boat this old; true?
It's not impossible, but both finance and insurance get more difficult the older the boat is. It's key to having a boat survey well which I believe this one will.
@@GarnockReviews thanks for the reply, she’s a beauty.
Great job brother the boat has everything one would need well kept
Live a board
This is a very nice boat, but it will work someones butt off keeping it this way. I always wanted to live on a boat; until I didn't. In three years I learned what not to like. I lived on a 44' trawler in Florida, and you NEED another home. It will get small quickly. You will learn about turbos, diesel fungus, Black Water, Bottom maintenance ect. This is good for Coastal cruising; not blue water. Just saying 300K is just the beginning. Nice boat though
I love all ships but if this is so amazingly decorated then what isn't? Not one person watching this video would have picked that horrid countertop color if they were designing a boat...The contrasting white/wood was gross looking. Felt bad for those cute blue sinks for having to live there:(
No es mi estilo pero aprueba. Falta una meza mas amplia rebatible por falta de espacio si. Por lo demas esta bueno . El paso a seguir es invitar 4 o 5 chicas bien chevere y a navegar si si🤣😁😄👍
I appreciate your channel but this is
sad. I thought maybe $100k, fine but this is Like touring a 30 year old mobile home in a trailer park. No expense spared? Samsung fridge, micro, 4 year old mattress, tacky carpet. This boat needs a 6 figure refit. $300k too much. Pride of ownership? Min. Chain should be 100 meters. 800 mile range on a boat like this is not impressive. Also it's an aft deck, not a cock pit. It could use one though.
Cheers and no offence intended to you.
Try again😊
No contact info ! ?
The contact info was about 15 seconds into the video. Here is the Yachtworld listing with more info too www.yachtworld.com/yacht/1988-defever-poc-8850460/
$300,000 is a little much for me. How much for the piece crap parked next to it?
If I had the time and money, I'd love to see if that boat next door could be fully restored easily. I've seen old commercial fishing boats and workboats look like they are on their last legs, and be brought back up to like new in no time at all.
Whoever buys this boat will lose half their money, crazy price for 45 year old boat. Fiberglass gets weaker after 30 years.
That's not good!
How much would you pay for this ship?
300 g's for a 35 yr old boat what are you crazy?
Sorry Philip, but this one went immediately under contract. She sea trialed and surveyed last week. There is a line of people waiting to make a 2nd offer if the deal falls through. Even on here, it's got well over 80k views in under 2 weeks.
@@GarnockReviews its a crazy world we live in now, people are paying over 90 g's for pickup trucks. Total insanity. Btw I wonder what that boat cost when it was new.
Costs for so many things don't make sense to me. I plan on buying a cheap 2nd car in the next couple of weeks. What was easily under $5k a couple years back, is now more like $10k.
Is she still for sale?
As of yesterday, she still was. I would recommend reaching out to the broker asap. The contact details are within the 1st minute of the video 😉
Looks brand new compared to that tramp trawler on its port side.
😁 that one needs a little spit and polish for sure
@@GarnockReviews 🤣
Question for you; Why, in any well-regulated society, would any individual want or need more than $1,000,000 per year? Why, in any well-regulated society, would any individual want or need to live in poverty? But for the fortunate with that sort of money a boat like this is a doable proposition, and why not?
OK, but, let’s talk safety (USCG certified 100 ton Master here). Is any prospective buyer interested in the condition of the hull? Has this vessel had a recent marine survey? 36 year old vessel with lots of time on the engines, but no comments on their condition or history ? Very unprofessional.
I look forward to watching your RUclips videos to compare and take notes 😉 I recommend all buyers for any boat place an offer subject to sea trial, survey, and engine inspections. This yacht is no different. At face value, I didn't see anything that required urgent or immediate attention when onboard. You can clearly see this yacht has had thousands spent on her over the past few years by the owner. It's my understanding anything that was damaged or dated has since been repaired or replaced.
@jayrobertson232 Excellent point. It's also grossly unprofessional to remove comments that bring to light the fact that this boat is 35 years old and made of fiberglass, and fiberglass tends to weaken with age. I would have never known that, had it not been for that one individual's comment stating that: a. the boat was too expensive for her age and b. The age issue with fiberglass hulls.
Unfortunately, his comment, while it was a bit crudely stated, was true. *Yet it was taken down.*
@jayrobertson232 I hope you don't mind if I subscribe to you, sir. You seem to gave more integrity. Ever thought about starting up a chan. here? I'm sure you would be doing prospective boat buyers a lot of good!
These boats are very Stout
Why wont you just say $300,000 and be honest about it?
I noticed the boat next door was filthy disgrace, i wouldn't show this boat next to that really makes someone wonder what conditions this been through also horrible color design choices for those bedroom comforters, makes it really look old
Demasiado caro
This one sold quickly, with many buyers lined up should the deal fall through.
35 years old
