Yeah. That's a lot of "clams" but, your "condomaran" has some pretty Cadilac (or Tesla) sizzle features that likely makes it one of a kind in this catagory. You guys did an awesome job. incidentally, Ty, don't apologize for or feel the need to eliminate the "boring how-to videos". As a nerdgineer (nerd + engineer = nerdgineer) boat owner with some pretty champaign visions, I find them both entertaining and helpful.
Thank you is much for your comment and thank you so much for the compliment. We are very proud of our floating home and are so grateful that we can share it. We are glad you are enjoying our videos, we really try to be entertaining and informative. Also, I will be using the term "nerdgineer" in the future!😉
End of the day, it’s priced like most move in ready homes in this country. And, making some assumptions here.....it’s paid for, meaning nothings been financed. It’s your home, you built it for you and yours. Like any home it will require up keep and maintenance. Smart and skilled people! I’m sure that even with your “carrying costs” it is 100% worth it. Happy for you all and though it may be a sin....envious. 😁
Y'all have done such a wonderful job I've been able to watch a lot of y'all's videos I love all of the work y'all Johns especially your eye for detail you only get that from years of experience and then transfer that over to a sailboat y'all did such a magnificent job I just hope one day I can see your boat keep up the good work and will still be following you
Great video and insights... You are WAY ahead of the game, as you know where every system is, how it works, and more importantly it is the peace of mind that "when" it breaks you can fix it. All the best to you and sail safely.
To the haters, sure they could have bought a turn key boat.... but who'd want to watch that? Congrats on all the work and the bonus of now knowing just about everything about your boat :) Other than routine maintenance, are there any near in the future repair or upgrade items or issues you will be doing?
Thank you for a great, honest, & transparent breakdown of cost. Our family is super excited to follow you in your adventure and hope to be out there ourselves soon!
I love it, but most importantly YOU love it! And the memories and experiences that you will create are priceless!! Worth every penny! Thanks for sharing your journey!!
35k for electrical! That's awesome! I like how you included labor for the fiberglass work. Wish you'd done that for each step. Really impressive project!!!
As always, you guys are amazing! Your fortitude combined with your ingenuity and your transparency are character traits not commonly associated together. I truly appreciate your raw realism that you inject into your dream chasing. You are truly an inspiration for us mere mortals. You are objective and resourceful with an incredible work ethic. Keep up the good living and inspiring others to just go do it! Quadrillion Kudos!!!
Good morning! Watching from Los Angeles, CA. I love to save money! Thank you for posting another video. Steve Miller. Boating is costing you guys a ton of money. Now, I guess that you guys are in Florida as of today. Would like to know where you guys are going to take this beautiful boat??? Next!
Channel is growing, I appreciate the way you are able to put much of this in laymen terms. Putting the inverters in parallel with diodes was very clever. did you do this alone or did you consult with an electrical engineer?
Great video!! You guys are an awesome team, even your kids seemed to really get into it. Your boat is gorgeous and extremely well equipped as a home and a serious cruiser. Cheers from Austin, TX
I really appreciate your guys content. Your living mine and many others dream. Keep it up and youll get the subs. Favorite channel and watch many. Can't wait for your on water adventures to start. Thanks!!
Hi guys have watched all your videos and enjoyed them all, I was surprised that you eliminated the generator, if you where caught in a major storm on an ocean crossing and lost your solar panels you could be weeks from anywhere, how would you charge your batteries, I suppose a 2 or 3 kilowatt portable generator would be a back up. I wish you safe travels and will be with you guys every week. Dauntless looks fantastic. Have been watching the crew from Parley as well. Good luck.
Just seen most of your episode and love it. Thanks for doing this so we can follow your work. I also want to get a cat in app 3-5 years ? Regards from Denmark 🇩🇰😎
Wow. You shipped your “ship”. So hard to respect you guys but I get it. It takes all kinds. Just some are salty than others. I just wouldn’t have videoed it 😂
I've been loving watching all of your videos! Quick question on the Tesla batteries. Are you guys worried at all about having no warranty on those? I know typically when you purchase from a company directly there will be a 10 year warranty and sometimes lifetime warranty. Would be keen to hear about your thought process on that. Thanks again for these videos!
Thanks for the update! Those are some scary numbers considering I pay less than 4K per year for a covered 60' slip where I'm at... BTW I installed a Cerbo, let me know if you have any questions. One question I have is, how do you handle your shore power going into your 230 volt inverter as every thing here in the states is 120v or 240v split phase. I ended up going with 2-48v inverters wired for split phase. Great content thank you!
I have now watch all your videos and I love the story, looking forward to you reaching Australia at some stage. Keep up the good work. PS work on your audio a little
Hey guys great vids, appreciate you and a your efforts...mad respect for a your sweat equity...i havent been able to track down the purchase proce for your boat? Could you please let me know. Thank you
I don’t get the insurance deal. I’m not a pleasure boater, but have a commercial boat just rebuilt it like you guys did and my insurance made me insure it for replacement cost. 750,000. No matter where I go in the states or other countries, 1,000,000 in crew coverage, oil spill coverage. I pay 11,000 a year. I feel insurance companies down there are kind of shady.
We just watched your interview with Parlay. We are under powered with our solar. If it is not too much to ask, could you please tell us what Tesla batteries you installed? Being builders ourselves we wanted more however our boat builder did not even want to do what we got, never had done lithium before. Thank you.
Q: #1: Did you have to take out any loans or did you have savings? #2: If you have loans, how much do you pay back a month and for how long do you expect to repay the debt?
May I suggest you find a free mortgage calculator online if you’re thinking about loans and assume it’s a 30 year mortgage on a $450k house. Obviously every situation is different but if you want a vague ballpark answer, that’ll get you there.
Then don't watch. Or at least don't comment. Every boat is different. There's something to learn from each video. If you have nothing to learn, then perhaps you should be the one making the videos.

How much was the cost of the boat? And how much for a similar boat not damaged?
Your boat looks awesome and you’ve made it comfy for you.
Yeah! I becomes useless to watch these videos unless you know what the price of the boat was
I believe they shared it in the video of them purchasing it lol 😂 was 200k something

The project is never really finished, but yes we have a list of things that we are adding. And of course we will be doing videos on them.😉
Loved the video! So crazy to see what the boat was to how far it came and where it is now! Much love and support from Texas!
Kim and Ty, I'm going to say this again.. I love you two and your chemistry together! You Rock!!! P. S. Syd rocks too!
Thank you for a great, honest, & transparent breakdown of cost. Our family is super excited to follow you in your adventure and hope to be out there ourselves soon!

Subs are growing!!!!!! Awesome stuff guys!!!!
Great inspiration for all of us trying to make this a life in the future!!
Thanks so much for the breakdown.
Just saw you on Parley. Just subscribed. Keen to watch the backlog of videos.
Thank you for subscribing!

Somewhere warm and beautiful!

Nice job of keeping track of all the details and Love the "I Dream of Jeannie" transitions !
Great job, I'm catching up on videos while working the greenhouse yay

We have an alternator (up coming video) and some small portable generators for emergency
Congrats on a awesome boat. Love the channel, just watched all your videos. Thanks for sharing the true cost of everything.
Great video, and great channel. Thank you! Used to own an L400, loved it and love the 450 even more.
Great detail guys, love it💪🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Onward and off shore thank you for Sharing :)
You guys are good at this.... Do it again😁
Ha!
@@SailingDauntless HA! Indeed
Just seen most of your episode and love it. Thanks for doing this so we can follow your work.
I also want to get a cat in app 3-5 years ?
Regards from Denmark 🇩🇰😎
Hello. How do the Tesla batteries work? Your solar and alternators will be 12v and Tesla is 24v… did you have to change your engine alternators?
Expensive but you now have a beautiful boat / home!
Since you guys bought a Lagoon, did you check her bulkheads and reinforce them? Nice winds
Wow. You shipped your “ship”. So hard to respect you guys but I get it. It takes all kinds. Just some are salty than others. I just wouldn’t have videoed it 😂

I know typically when you purchase from a company directly there will be a 10 year warranty and sometimes lifetime warranty. Would be keen to hear about your thought process on that. Thanks again for these videos!
No warranty, replacement cost vs average lifespan of 20+ years means its a nominal expense. They work awesome!
Well done! Now go have some fun!!!
Great videos enjoyed every minute can’t wait to see y’all on the way to the Bahamas
Soon!
you guys are insane...INSANE
great video btw
Thank you, glad you enjoyed!
Well done guys following you since you appeared on the Parley Revival.
Watched and liked all your videos.
Fair play guys great stuff
Thank you so much for your support! Were glad you are liking our videos!
Enjoyed the video.
Sorry, What was the original cost of the boat?
It is a Beautiful boat. So what is the grand total including the cost of the boat?
Very Interesting video!! You mentioned that the Powerwall won't fit on the 450, nowhere?
Thanks for the update! Those are some scary numbers considering I pay less than 4K per year for a covered 60' slip where I'm at... BTW I installed a Cerbo, let me know if you have any questions.

I ended up going with 2-48v inverters wired for split phase. Great content thank you!
The inverter is programmable . We changed it to 60Hz 240v
If you had a chance to do it again… what changes or addition you would do??? Thank you n have fun n stay safe👍👍👍👍
Two inverters instead of one for redundancy... no room though
I have now watch all your videos and I love the story, looking forward to you reaching Australia at some stage. Keep up the good work. PS work on your audio a little
Wowzers. Thanks for sharing. $$$$$$!
Did you hook up water cooling for the batteries or did you leave them air cooled?
Hey guys great vids, appreciate you and a your efforts...mad respect for a your sweat equity...i havent been able to track down the purchase proce for your boat? Could you please let me know. Thank you

Pleasure boating in the hurricane zone can is expensive when it comes to insurance. 750k would run between 18-25k per year. Ouch
@@SailingDauntless unbelievable.
The biggest question is, can you share What did you pay for the boat?
Did I miss the boat price?
We just watched your interview with Parlay.
We are under powered with our solar. If it is not too much to ask, could you please tell us what Tesla batteries you installed?
Being builders ourselves we wanted more however our boat builder did not even want to do what we got, never had done lithium before.
Thank you.
We used “model s” modules
@@SailingDauntless thank you, looking forward to more of your family adventures.
Eye-watering numbers... watermaker already installed on the boat when you got it?
No, we installed it
so close to 4k subs!
B.O.A.T. = Bring Out Another Thousand!
hi can you please put a time stamp on that introduction just helps save a lot of time I don't have otherwise cheers
What did the ice maker and materials cost?
The ice maker was 1200 other materials 150.
Wow cost wake up call. It is like refurbing a house $20k to move the boat before you even done anything haha.
What is your background? Engineer?
shoulda just ordered a new catamaran
Captain Ron can move a ship cheap. 🚢
Are you going to do a boat tour
Yes! In an upcoming video
Q:
#1: Did you have to take out any loans or did you have savings?
#2: If you have loans, how much do you pay back a month and for how long do you expect to repay the debt?
May I suggest you find a free mortgage calculator online if you’re thinking about loans and assume it’s a 30 year mortgage on a $450k house. Obviously every situation is different but if you want a vague ballpark answer, that’ll get you there.
We had savings. I don’t think you can get a “boat remodel loan”
👍👍👍👍👍
I cant finish the equation without the boat price!
Assume another $300k for the boat. Damaged.
👍💞💖💞👍
Yeah! I becomes useless to watch these videos unless you know what the price of the boat was
Ho Hum..."So many other people have done this same video...who cares anymore?"
Then don't watch. Or at least don't comment. Every boat is different. There's something to learn from each video.
If you have nothing to learn, then perhaps you should be the one making the videos.
