1. 👍🏼 we thank you for this video Tim 👍🏼

2. Ya gonna pass on that one.

3. The good thing about being a pessimist, is that it is always a pleasant surprise to be wrong.
   I knew gas engines in and out before I started sailing and learned diesel. When I hear an engine was replaced by an unknown party and IT LEAKS OIL that's a red flag to me. I like diesels that will sleep quietly, but wake instantly and totally reliably when needed. BIG ticket item if it needs replacement, or even a full tear down.

4. Good stuff as usual. I have learnt a lot from your channel. Thank you.

5. Every Westerbleak [sic] I've met was slapped together with a block and parts each sourced from the cheapest bidder. WB is just an assembler, and they slap red paint over everything including all the rubber parts. Gates, Goodyear, all the folks who make the rubber parts say this is the best way to kill them. And not hard to avoid. So WB? I just can't trust shoddy work built with lowest cost bidders.

6. one other thing to question on this boat that is not the original cabin sole?

7. 40ft hunter legend in gulf Port. 45k on marketplace so I don't see the point in spending the extr. Check it out it's clean

8. Few have the choice of buying anything but a used boat.

9. You know you can fly to the Caribbean right? They also have all-inclusive resorts !!! What you are going to spend going to the Caribbean by buying your own boat, and everything you will spend before you get there, can be spent on several weeks at a resort.

10. What is up with the floors? Looks like cheap laminate. Was that put in when "repairing" the grid after the grounding? Gaps in the flooring all oner the place.

11. 🤣 Funny dude. Could a guy ever convert three state room to two?

12. Buy one with lightning or buggered motor, rip it, tanks, all other unnecessary weight out, incl gas. Drop in emotor, sufficient PV+48v/16s eve diy build (much cheaper options vs victron, i.e hybrid aio), new/modern devices, rigging, suitable outboard on tender that will also push boat "if" needed, noisy 2stroke easier to diy fix if it goes for a swim.
    Might not be ready to go sailing NOW, but when ya head off next season, you'll know the boat almost as well as you know your mum.

13. Might be a possible topic: upgrading electronics. I've got 20 year old RayMarine (2003) that I want to replace with B&G. Is the Ray Marine NEMA 2000 compliant? Should be. Will I have to replace my sensors (haulout for the thru hulls)? Or can I just buy the main components and install them myself? And if I go iPad, what about AIS? (I currently have AIS on a Windows Chromebook that hasn't worked in months. Sometimes the menu item I need to select appears, sometimes not.) I don't need my specific questions answered. This is general. What still frustrates me is I have the money, I want to upgrade! When the local B&G installer finally calls back, all they want to talk about is Garmin. Not because it's better in someway, it's just that Garmin is elbowing its way in. Maybe that's an episode topic: Money Can't Solve Your Boat Problem. And what features do I need? Just how well does that Ray Marine smart camera stuff work?
    One thing I really liked on a B&G radar. It can read storm clouds, tell you what's about to hit you. In the Bahamas it was like a game. There's the storm, if we go that way, we'll miss most of it. It could also 'interrogate' a target. That's just noise, or that's a boat without AIS moving in this direction. On a boat I just sailed across the Pacific on the B&G radar couldn't do these things. Without these experiences I wouldn't know.

14. I'll take a pass.i believe Zola was in a YouTube video of the same name a few years ago.those owners looked like idiots!it explains some of the oddities.

15. Your information is priceless. Loved this episode. Thank you.

16. Looking at the drawings of the two versions, the "full" aft cabin, only looks to simply be a bed. No place to sit and the hanging locker is outside the cabin. Whereas the three cabin version both aft cabins have hanging lockers inside the door. And, in the two cabin version, one of you will have to climb over the other – just like in the pullman. Except the pullman has ore space to climb across, whereas the two cabin aft cabin only has the width of the door, since the bed apparently comes right to the door (from the drawing).

17. Hey Tim what do you think about the Cape Dory's for ocean sailing or island hopping

18. Great job on this one, as with all of them. Just waiting for my wife to retire so we can live on a sailboat. That's our dream. 4 years to go.

19. Tim for an older starter "learn how to sail" boat is an Atomic 4 reasonable?

20. The kitchen counter is not the original. The floor is not original. Strange.

21. it's simple when you see s*** laying on the side of the road don't pick it up and play with it

22. Hooray for 12 volt freezers. I just bought a Setpower for $186 to my door. Put your camera and binoculars in the galley fridge and your food in the portables. That Beneteau lacks battery isolation switches. A disaster.

23. Such good content, made me laugh, thank you keep it up

24. This the same boat the owners of our sailing club have. We use it for all the ASA training and testing. Also for practice sails with small groups of the members. It is a very comfortable and great sailing boat. I hate going back down to the Capri 22's (the fleet of day sailers we use regularly) after spending time on this gem.

25. Thanks again for all the good info: i do have a question about insurance on boats over 20 years of age … are their any specialists that you know of ?

26. My wife and I are BIG FANS of your channel….I am currently onboard our 375 Hunter Legand, on the Chesapeake Baby sitting through this storm. We have owned her for 24 years. Raced and cruised her (10,000mi) ….going into retirement very soon . Curently have a bid on the sabre 426 on lake Michigan (Renaissance) what's you thoughts on the 426 sabers…

27. Sorry, but a tablet is not a substitute for a proper modern MFD integrated with AIS and radar. These two things greatly enhance situational awareness. Add forward facing cameras with IR and you have a powerful capability. Nothing is a replacement for standing a proper watch.

    Also, your assessment of older diesels is bunk. A properly maintained Westerbeke, Perkins, Universal, etc is incredibly reliable and relatively simple to maintain.

28. Speaking of iPads for navigation, you should do a new video on that subject. iPad types, size, storage, especially on mounts, etc. my boat came with no electronics and I don’t plan on adding a chart plotter after spending $2k on a new instrument package although I may replace the old non working radar with a Furuno wireless unit that can use the same, or another, iPad. Also I do realize you did a video 4yrs ago on this but I can only assume the info is as outdated as electronics of that era are now…

29. Really? You must know that this boat was owned by YouTubers Nellie and Banner

30. You can catch a part of the history on this boat by checking the YouTube channel which is now called flying Zola. Looks like they sailed it for about a year and sold it about a year ago.

31. Wouldn't 3x cabins likely be ex-charters? I guess that's 10+yr ago now.
    Great observations, inferences & questions, from just ad pics & copy btw. ✅
    I'd rank: 1. Yanmar, 2. Volvo, 3. a few ok brands, … 10. HappyGoodLuck.
    That opening sentence WAS in English, wasn't it Captain? 😂⚓🇦🇺

32. Love your vids… good clear communication. Always crack up though because I can't help thinking you could possibly be Russel Crowe's first cousin.

33. That first boat is from Sailing Zola. A youtube channel.

34. My thoughts exactly about my iPad. I prefer Navionics over my chart plotter every day of the week. I keep the iPad zoomed in and the chart plotter as just a zoomed out Birds Eye view.

35. With AGM's, if you want them to last you don't take them below 50%. So that would be 300 amp hours not 450. I have them in my rv now, I bought lithiums to replace them, will be installing soon. I'd never buy AGM's for a boat, JMO. I'd rather buy the cheaper boat and put a new engine and a couple on new sails on it if there were only a few things wrong with it.

36. Why don't sailboat listings mention if the mast is keel stepped or deck stepped? Sometime they don't mention what keel it has. These seem important – are we just expected to know these things.

37. This is the greatest pee review of a boat that I've encountered.

38. I caught scabies from high school gym mats.
