88. Dirt Cheap SIXTY-EIGHT Foot DREAM PIRATE SHIP [Full Yacht Tour] Learning the Lines

So Randy and I just arrived at yet another boat tour, but we've got a long walk on the dock here so we figured we'll do the intro right now. We're in Cape Coral, Florida and we are looking at, I believe it's a 58-foot custom fueler? Something like that, yeah. It's like a custom boat that the original owner put about a million dollars into building so from what I understand it's in pretty good shape. And unfortunately the owner basically got to the point where it was ready and then the owner passed away. So this boat is for sale at much much less than a million dollars. So let's go take a look. This is our boat now. So we are aboard. So it's like narrow but secure. Yeah. Like it's almost kind of, what is it, hugging you? Yeah, I mean that'd be good in big seas. It's got really high lifelines here and they're solid. You know, they have this teak on top. It's got good handrails. But yeah, I can brace. You get to hear it too. But yeah, it was very, very well thought out going forward here. Looks like they all go back to the cockpit. Something Jordan's always wanted. Mass steps. Yeah. That's nice. All the way up. The granny bars. How's that deck camber feel? It's really steep. Yeah, this deck, it's very, I don't know if you guys can see it, but it's very steep. It's significant when you're standing on it. So all that water would run off really easy. Yeah. Very light non-skid. That is a huge, huge one. 1500 watt 12 volt. And you have a cutter rig again. We like cutter rigs. There's the headsail. There's the staysail. And then you have what, like an eight foot bowsprit. Look at this thing. It's probably six and then the anchors. I don't know. I think that's probably more than six. That's taller than I am long. Let's test this out. For some perspective. So if I'm six feet, what is that, four feet? No, I don't know. I think there's four feet above my head. These huge fenders. Big old Samson post right there. This boat weighs 70,000 pounds. Yeah. That's a lot. Furling lines. It's insecure. I wanted to call them dormers, but that's a house. What am I trying to say again? Doraids. Doraids. Randy can't talk right now. I can't talk today. The doraids are protected by these stainless bars. You got your other, your hatch there. It's like a lot of room on top of the kayak. The coach room is pretty cool. Yeah, look at how tall it is. Yeah, it's really tall. I mean, it's, they're very secure going forward on this boat. You're not gonna fall off. Emergency tiller. Yeah, that's the emergency tiller right there. That's like so easy access. Yeah. Emergency tiller. Got your winches. Got a Samson post back here too. Another Samson post. Yeah, this guy just, he went all out. He went all out on everything. This is like nice wood too. Nice home. Pretty, pretty small cockpit for the boat, but safe and secure. Oh, the door? Yeah, it's so nice. Yeah, the wood's real nice. As big as this companionway door is, you managed to hit your head. She's got a track record of hitting her head. Well, it was the thing dangling down. I saw the actual height. I thought it was good. So, the interesting thing about the interior of this boat, it was, it's a little bit of a weird design. It's, it's almost like what I would call an open concept because it doesn't have really any real berths. This is like the main berth right here, and is this close? I don't think it does. So, this is like the main berth right here, and then you have your main head that's right here. So, there's the head. Lots of storage. Lots of storage, and you know, that it's a wet head, wet head, but everything opens. You know, lots of storage. So, head and shower, wet head, and then, forward of all that, you have this huge, no, this is like the pilot house area. Beautiful pilot house, and yeah, I would call it salon one because this is as big as this, you know, as a saloon in a boat. This is awesome. Oh yeah, this is, this is the highlight of the boat right here. Being able to see, which actually, it's, the bow comes up so far that you actually can't see straight ahead. You can see to the sides, but to be protected in here, yeah, in weather would be just, just really cool. All that control. So, you got slightly older electronics. This boat was built in the 2000s, so, and it's kind of set since then. 12-volt DC panel. Your AC, your AC panel as well. So, AC main breaker. Just, yeah, lots of stuff on there. Oh yeah, and then the thing is with this boat is everything opens. So, your engine access is in the floor right here under the cabin sole. And there's your engine. It's a Yanmar diesel with 50 hours on it. Is that a dripless? That's a dripless, yeah, that's a PSS dripless. So, all of these compartments open. So, Randy's, you know, so there's tankage down there. Grey water. Fresh water, grey water. There's more engine access below here. There's more, there's more access below there. Every little wall and cubby opens. Yeah. Which way does this go? There's more stuff there. Oh, this one I thought was the coolest. Even up here where you would never think there's storage, you've got, how does it open? Yeah, look at that. Little drawers that come up out of the ceiling and they're plexiglass in the front so you can see what's in it. So, salon one, pilot house, settees, TV. We'll go down to salon number two. Oh, yeah. There's just, there's so much stuff. That's a freezer. Just like, just all these compartments open. Like, this opens behind here. Somehow, this comes off. This opens behind there. Like, that opens down there. This opens here. Behind here, everything opens. I mean, everything. Like, literally you can access everywhere, which you guys know on our boat, that was one of our big concerns, was that you can't access everything. You can see the construction of the hull here. So, this is actually another composite boat. So, it's mahogany and fiberglass. So, it's like mahogany, fiberglass, mahogany, fiberglass, mahogany, fiberglass. So, it's a pretty thick hull. About, I think, two to three inches. Two to three inches, I think. Something like that. You said it's fiberglass, three-quarter inch mahogany, fiberglass, three-quarter inch mahogany, fiberglass. Yeah, and I'll use, it's all West System Epoxy, so it's all like 100% waterproof. Let's go down. So, you have your eating settees, and I believe you said this table lowers to become a bed? Yeah. You've got another set of settees. You've got your galley, which is kind of like a nook galley. It's a narrow nook, but it's a nook galley. I think it qualifies. And then you got a huge chart table and nav station. Just, yeah, this is salon number two, and I can feel the wind and the boat moving right now because it's, that rain's gonna start pretty soon. I think we're gonna have to take cover in here, or I'll keep covering here, but I mean, it is just, it's just, and again, everything, everything opens. You can see that there's so many panels. Like, I can't, I can't sit here and open everything for you guys. Like, there's just, there's an air conditioning compressor or maybe a fridge compressor or something. I just love how all of the sides open. So, like, you can get to literally anything. So, there's wiring there. Like, it's just, like, almost every floor area opens. Stairs lift. Everything opens. And then that opens down there. Like, it's just, and you have your galley, obviously. More storage. And then the v-berth is interesting. Yeah, it's like a little reading nook, almost, is what I kind of imagine it was designed for. Kind of opening. Yeah. I imagine somehow it converts to be one berth. Yeah. Washer, dryer, right here. So, but. Head number two is behind you. Head number two. It's a wet head again. So, there's got a shower hooked up and everything. Number what? Another wet head. Just more storage. This boat really wasn't set up for sleeping that many guests. No, it was made more for one or two liveaboards. But. Because the living area. There's a lot of living area. I mean, look at this. This boat just goes on forever. I think because we were so focused on the details earlier, we didn't give you a really good just walk straight through. So, I'm gonna do that right now. So, coming from the v-berth, you got the main salon. Randy chillin'. And then you've got the pilot house, the main settee, or the main berth, sorry. And then you walk outside into the cockpit where you can pilot the boat. And then when you're looking at weather like that, when you're out in the middle of the ocean, you don't have to worry because you have this giant pilot house that you can get away from the weather. So, we are taking cover because that storm is little squalls blowing through. Apparently, there's a tropical storm up in the Gulf right now. Yeah. In the Gulf of Mexico. So. It's a little band. I think this is a band coming from it. But yeah, this pilot house is awesome. It's nice and dry. This is the owner right here. This is Dave. He's sitting at the pilot house right now and captain's chair. Radar. We're gonna put Dave's contact information in the description below. So, if you're interested in this boat, you can give him a shout. Look at this. I mean, could you imagine being out in the ocean and it's just pouring rain and you're just protected like right now? It's just crazy. This is forward looking sonar. So, this is telling us what's below us and in front of the That's really cool. Yeah. So, this this opens right up. That's. Oh. So, is this like hydraulic steering? Yeah. And then that hot water heater down there. There's an isolation transformer. That's good. Yeah. Not many boats have those. That's really cool. What do you think granny? It's a really interesting boat. Very different. Really open and bright is what I noticed. I don't know like how you just there was light coming in everywhere which was nice. It obviously is a very large boat and the way it's set up I would compare it to like an open concept. Yeah. To for a house, you know, it's like it was it was built to maximize living area not necessarily sleeping area. Yes, that is one thing it's kind of lacking a little bit in but I mean you have one berth that could comfortably fit two people. So, if you're just a couple who want to cruise. Yeah. Or a couple with maybe small kids. Maybe small kids. Yeah. Or even like someone who wants to just charter a boat for day trips. Like that's a good boat to like take a good amount of people out on. Yeah. It's a good boat to charter in the Bahamas or in the BBI's or whatever. Yeah. Yeah. I mean if you're a charter captain for sure. I mean it's it's an interesting boat and it's for the price. I mean. Yeah. It's crazy. So. It's a lot of boat for 119,000. Yeah. Right now it's listed at 119,000. The person who built it put over a million dollars into it. Yeah. And it's it's ready to go now. It doesn't really need. It needs a little bit of work but it. Cosmetic finishes. Yeah. Everything's there with spare parts. He said it comes with everything that the boat came with. Yeah. You can sail it away now. Which is which I think is very very intriguing. Yeah. Very very. Appealing. Appealing. So. But it is a giant boat. Yes. I mean overall length I think is about 68 feet. Yeah. So on deck I think it's 50. It's massive. I would be. We've never sailed anything near that size. Yeah. I'd be nervous. Dave Dave mentioned potentially taking it out for a sail. So. Yeah. That'd be interesting. With us. So. I don't know I mean let me know if you guys. It's intimidating. It's intimidating. Let me know if you guys think that would be interesting. Yeah. If we went out for a sail with Dave on that boat. It'd be nice. The thing is like I I feel like I could sail it but I can't dock it. Oh no. But Dave is he's a captain with motor yachts. Yeah. And he's he's he's good at motoring but he's not good at the sailing aspect. Yeah. So I think we'd be okay if we took it out you know into the gulf and sailed it around a little bit. We think it's a pretty sweet boat. It's a cool boat. Great price. And you know the construction's interesting. I'd want to look into it a little more. It's you know that it's it's it's mahogany and fiberglass and apply system epoxy. And I know Dave said he just had a survey done. So if you're really interested and want that information he has that as well. And the mast is actually wooden as well. It's it's fully grounded with a giant grounding wire and a and a and a and a lightning rod but. And isolation transformer. Yeah. It's got a nice setup. Yeah but I I still would. It's like a wooden it's kind of like a wooden boat. It's it's a composite though. It's a wooden and fiberglass boat so. But it's it's interesting.
