It’s funny how when I first started watching this channel a year ago, I immediately watched all of the super yacht videos, and didn’t pay much attention to the smaller boats. Now, a year later, I have developed a huge appreciation for these smaller boats, with their unique configurations and creative uses of space.

I've been watching you for over 3 years now Nick and this weekend I bought my first boat! It's a £6,700 Maxum 1800 SRL Bow rider that needs a little bit of TLC but it's without a doubt a purchase I've made almost entirely due to this channel and seeing you and Marianne on SB2. Can't wait to get out on the water. Thanks for the inspiration!
Once a boat....always a boat! Your new addiction!😉 I'm on the water for 3 years now. I could live on the water...it's probably gonna happen....can't wait!
@@pinopino1086 15 years time "I've been watching you for 18 years and I've just re-mortgaged the house, sold all my worldly possessions to buy my 8th boat.... Thanks a bunch Nick 🤬" 😂😂
Welcome to the club, it's a addiction you'll likely have till you're 6ft under. one of the better one's to have though, I've been infected since I was 7ish. 😁.
@@120Livi more like I've sold my house and all my worldly possessions and now live aboard my 65 foot Nordhavn. Classic Nordhavn of course with many places to tuck yourself away with a good book. 😆🏴
Outboard engines - hmmm. Once all the clobber from inboard (onboard) engines have been removed thanks to the outboard motors, one gets something amazing on a boat - MORE ROOM. But rather than just put loads of GRP spaces below, real design has gone into the below deck, new found "voids". Three staterooms and a spacious head with separate shower area to start. And loads of added storage. Roomy inside and easy to get around in, this is a proper extended cruising boat. Nice. Thanks again, Nick for bringing us a broader view of under 40' boats.
The helicopter made me actually laugh out loud, I do enjoy your random silliness! Lovely practical boat, not sure about that starboard cabin though, I'd wake up thinking I was a carrot in somebody's lunchbox. Lots of accommodation for this size of boat though, and a nice open cockpit on a single level with HUGE windows. Cracking video again, as always, thanks Nick!
thought the same, dont think that S/B cabin is a double. Fine for a kid though. Wondering how much fuel 600hp outboards would guzzle compared to 1x D3.
Thank you so much! Been waiting for one of these vids from you for what feels like forever. This is my single favorite boat and for mere mortals like me almost affordable! Fantastic value for money, I think.
Such a charming video. While others might get frustrated at interruptions or background noise, Nick improvs a little snap and away everything goes. You can really tell that he has a lot of fun making these videos for us.
"This is a...." And I've already hit the like button! I LOVE the Merry Fisher and I was waiting this video for a long time. Now let me sit and enjoy every second of it! Thanks Nic, cheers from Ravenna, Italy 🇮🇹
Hmm, I like this. Add a generator and make it a single .... fantastic little coastal explorer. As I've said before, the variety of oats you sow us, is fantastic. Another top quality Aquaholic Tour!
Never knew you had super powers Nick.. I do hope you returned the Helicopter to the sky when you finished shooting 😂😂 What a great little boat.. Can't believe the space below deck.. And so many places for storage dotted around her. Thanks for the tour Nick...
Amazing value for money, I can see why these boats are so popular, you get so much for your money by going for the outboards. Very tempted, great video as always.
Have been eyeing up a smaller version of the Merry Fisher, so I'm very glad you've released this video! Not many good tours of them available on RUclips. Thanks again Nick!
What a cool looking boat! I think this is one of the best value for you money that you have shown us yet! I don't suppose anyone would buy this for me today since it's my birthday? I promise to take good care of her and not end up one of those other RUclips channels such as Boat Fails or Idiots in Boats!
Another great starter boat really nice, think I am warming to outboard engines as they are easier to get at rather than trying to get my big girth through some of the small access hatches to engine rooms. nice finishes and quite roomy for its size. Thanks Nick a lovely tour as always.
I've never been a big fan of outboard motors. I always felt like they made a boat look less...finished, I guess. But there are two huge advantages to them. 1) cost: it's amazing what this boat offers for this price, especially when compared to one with inboard motors; and 2) maintenance and upgradability: something wrong with the motor? Remove it and fix it or replace it. Good luck doing that with a Penta 360. This tour was an eye opener for me - thank you!
Also great for places like here in southwest Florida with shallow areas because you can trim them up and even out of the water. It’s mostly outboards down here now.
Always the great presenter of boats of all sizes , the odd chopper or what ever comes along , if nothing Maggie is always along side . Have a great season Nick, you work hard for your time boating .😉👍👍
Got to be the best family weekend trip boat I have seen it has everything someone would want and need absolutely amazing and u did it justice great job
Really family-friendly! Love the layout, the finishes and overall internal looks. Exterior looks great, not flashy at all. I bet you can't look like a knob in something like this. Great tour, Nick! Cheers!
Love watching Nick’s video’s, I continue to learn and I’m gaining confidence. I am actually contemplating purchasing a boat now I’m coming up to retirement and live near a marina. Keep up your video’s they’re fabulous.
Great little weekender cruiser! I would have it as a 2 cabin layout if that is an option. It's too small a boat for the 3rd but if you've got 3-4 kids or a couple of couples, you'll be crowded but functional. More and more, I'm attracted to the space savings you get with outboards and you don't seem to sacrifice performance. Gotta get past the prejudice that inboard engines make it a real boat! Space onboard for a 7.5kW generator...you know I need my 220V offshore! Wonderful, affordable and practical "bit of kit"!
I had to laugh when the helicopter showed up and you commented about it. When I was in college, my PolySci prof was fond of teaching class in the gazebo next to the class building. One day a big Pennsylvania National Guard Chinook helicopter flew by and in mid sentence talking about the US Constitution could be amended he shifted to talking about the Chinook and what it was like to fly in one. Memories.
Almost the perfect boat. The only thing I would change, is I would have the bow thruster on the other side, to make it easier to stand outside the door when docking.
Really nicely laid out boat. Despite the size of the "kid's cabin", I still think that finding room for three cabins is impressive. And with the flexibility of the table becoming a berth? Bonus! Great tour as always, Nick, thank you! And if only we could all make life's problems go away as easily as you got rid of that helicopter...sigh...
And Thank you Nick for this nice show of the Jeanneau Merry Fisher 1095 the biggest in the range in the beginnig I saw those more with a inboard engine but now or days I see the more with outboard engines can still choose?
Instead of considering yourself a “simple man”, I suggest we use the terms “well grounded” and “down to earth”. That’s part of what makes these videos so darned enjoyable.
I actually like this model. Giving it outboards is smart on a number of levels, and it looks like a perfect fit for a family. Other than that dumb round mattress this is a nice boat.
Another superb tour! Another cracking boat with plenty to love given the price. Like @Livi 120 I've been watching for several years and we've just upsized our boat to one you had as the outside choice in a MB&Y article, so another boat sold partly because of you! Maybe you should start asking for commission?! Keep up the great work Nick
Sending positive thoughts, vibes, and a well-penned letter to St. Nick (pun intended) to have one of these shoved into my stocking at Christmas, or before.
Only found your channel recently but love these videos. Having seen these amazing yachts in harbours I really love seeing what they are like inside, thank you for showing us 😀
The storage space in cabin three can be equipped with an optional extra fridge and there is a huge storage space under the lift up bed in the main cabin. There is even a door that I always thought would be great to remove and turn the storage space underneath the bed into a doggie-cave.
@@cyruslad5462 this is a 36 footer. If you are looking to downsize then you have options, the boats that come to mind personally is my boat (beneteu Antares 9), the downsize of this boat in the same lineup (merry fisher 8.95). These are pretty much identical boats by the way. You can get an outboard version of the grand tourismo 32, and there are also a couple more. If you have any questions about the Antares 9 feel free to ask me questions
Another convert to the outboard motors on smaller boats, the extra room is great. Personally I'd hate to sleep in cabin 3, it's not for even the mildest claustrophobic, but you are getting 3 doubles for your cash. With the void in the rear of the boat, youd think you could reconfigure a bit to gain that headroom somehow.
Interesting windows in the hull. They need to bring one of these boats to Haulover inlet in Florida and run the inlet a few dozen times to see if the windows will still be there.
Now that’s a good bit of boat for the money, I do like the fact that they’ve got one good sized heads with a closed off shower rather than squeeze in two silly small heads in the same space. Who needs wet toilet paper? There’s a couple on RUclips who got one of these ( or it might be a smaller one) and they share their adventures on it. A good watch. Cheers Nick.
Very nice offering at the price point shared. Seems like if you take the big chunky engines out, and replace them with simple , easy to service engines you can save quite some amount on a three cabin boat. Noticed that you do loose on the bathing platform but there can be design to cater to that problem.
Nice boat. Good review, I love the disappearing helicopter trick! One niggle for the builder, why not put the bow thruster on the dash next to the side exit for ease of docking?
If this super little boats was just a little longer. It be nice to be able bring out board motors up with out moving the bench giving you about 4 to 5 feet
hi, i love your videos! Just great, so quiet and such a good view of the boats. Could you try a Parker Monaco in the near future? A similar boat, also with outboards, but much nicer. Thank you very much
Fuel capacity on ours is 150 gallons, two 75 gallon tanks. Not sure in liters. But it is the beneteau version of this boat, the Antares. We cruise at around 25 knots.
I love Jeanneau’s, always have but for some reason I don’t think that I’ve realised how much space you gain with outboard motors which of course you would. Anyway brilliant tour as always Nick!
Nick - we have the Beneteau version of this boat, the Antares. You should do an overview of that line - they are great boats! We love it here in southwest Florida. Just ran down to the Keys on it for a week!
Hi Nick, Have you got a Sealine F530 lined up any time soon. There is a motor boat and yachting one but it was first off the line and had faults that needed fixing. Also motor boat do not poke about like you do.
Great tour as always Nick 👍 Personally I’d give this one a miss, preferring a Beneteau Swift Trawler of similar size but am sure this will appeal to a lot of people, it’s very good.
I love this style of boat - the 895 or Beneteau Antares 9 would be a better cost / size ratio for me. But my biggest gripe is I don’t want petrol outboards - and the videos I’ve seen on ownership show on the 895 you’re going to be getting a real life burn of 55 to 75 litres an hour for the 20 to 30 knots range. Marina petrol prices (assuming you can find petrol) mean that that consumption rate will be v expensive…..I don’t mind losing a big locker under the cockpit for inboard diesels - and the greater capex of diesels is easier to accommodate than a large increase in fuel operating costs (higher price of petrol X lower efficiency)…….a great video Nick btw!
I wish I had your magic fingers! If I had a dollar for every time a retake was needed due to noise interference while taping I’d have enough to buy every boat you video!
