I reckon if those issues you mention at the end are the biggest problems you have then you've got a good boat! Congratulations

wow.. im speechless.. the old man no waste of time, he know everything and good to work with... this why i loving it..

Never gave sailing any thought until you guys talked about it so I started watching sailing KZreads and I'm so hooked. It is so much better than RVing! I like the destinations better. I've never liked the idea of RVing, because the US is so much the same in my opinion - same chain stores everywhere so looks the same in so many places. Not challenging to travel about either so RVing just seems boring to me. Sailing offers what I really like - a big challenge and getting out of the USA. Never sailed before in my life, however. We are going on a cruise later this year and I feel a bit embarrassed now to be part of that crowd after watching these sailing KZreads. Got to go - my wife has never been and wants the experience for us.

+Dwayne Dixon Happy you've joined us on the new adventure!

I have been learning oodles and gobs by watching you two neat people search for a sailboat.....thank you!

You guys are living the dream of every adventurer

This series is so exciting, to see complete beginners buying a sailboat and learning as you go is captivating. Thank you so much for your amazing videos!

You guys are very thorough with your search and purchase of the boat!! Would expect nothing less from you guys!! Excellent video and showing how important a great survey is!! Good luck and we will keep watching!!

Welcome to boating; let the check writing begin. "Ocean Wynns"

I love that you are taking all the precautions before you make your decision.

Again can't wait for the journey. Thanks

Really having fun following your new adventrure. I vote for "Fair Wynds" as the name!

+Tharamis another vote for Fair Wynds! For those that dont know, in the nautical world we wish people Fair Winds and Following Seas as they depart on thier journey or as they move on in life.

In theory you are supposed to register the boat in the state where it is going to be used the most. I recommend using it the most in Delaware because they won't charge you a tax on the sale price of the boat. hint hint

As always a good videos, when having samples on the oil done they always check for soot levels which tells you when the oil needs changing, high levels of soot causes more wear in a diesels . You two make a great pair, good luck.

Been sailing most of my life. Sold my sailboat to buy my Motorhome. Still carry my license and will do deliveries. Glad you got a survey but you will have a pretty steep learning curve. It is fun to do but I am sure there will be moments of questions. Have fun.

Hi Nikki and Jason, after what the surveyor has showed us about the Leopard I think it is a great boat! And think about the fact that the dinghy (tender) including the outbord is a great addition and worth 10-15k as well. I whope for you that the ownder is cooperative but he attended the whole time, he saw the inventory / survey results and therefore there are no surprises for him. He will sell the boat for 290k. Thanks again for the great images. Especially Jason always looks so excited and amazed that your footage means a great motivation and inspiration to me. It is highly appreciated! Kay

This is so exciting!! Can't wait to follow your journey!!

I used to build sailboat interiors YEARS ago and always wanted to full-time on a boat, but... I have a propensity to getting seasick.So RVing it is. Love your channel and I'll get to vicariously "live-aboard" with you guys.

Giant congrats you two. Can't wait for the adventures.

it's gonna be so much fun watching you handle your first storm without a clue what to do.

That's what sailing school (and sailing friends) are for. :)

I have registered my boat in Delaware, very easy and no property tax. I paid $72 for a 3 year registration at Shorts Marine (close to Rehobeth Beach). Just pay the money and they give you a registration card.

Awesome! Congratulations, Wynns!

Really magnificent survey all considered. Just upgraded to a 40' from 30'. We needed the standing rigging and Jib too. I like the peace of mind the new rigging affords. Great job! Looking forward to the videos.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! Enjoy your new adventure. Nothing wrong in owning a sailboat. Sad that a lot of the comments are negative. You both are young, enjoy life. l love your video's. Please keep us updated.

Great video! Your presentation is wonderful, entertaining, and informative. Although you are novices at boat buying and sailing, your attitude clearly shows a methodology towards success. As a sailor for fifty years, I am especially impressed with your hands on approach. A key to pleasurable boating is knowing the boat, expanding you skills, and knowing your own limitations. I've owned mono-hulls for many years and currently own a Beneteau 42s7, but catamarans are a design I know little about. While going to college I worked for a successful sailboat dealer who sold both mono and multi-hulls boats. The catamarans were under 20'; back in those days the only large cats were built by backyard builders. I'm enjoying your story and am looking forward to future videos. Thank you.

+Dick Dixon Thanks for taking the time to say hello. Cats have come a long way since those days and we're excited to hit the water.

I have a suggestion for your new boat's name .. "Prevailing Wynns" best wishes, may the winds be always at your back.

Jason, you are a lucky dude! Not only is Niki cute, she drives the MH and the boat, she's all down in the bilge with a socket working on the engines, she's got her nose in all the nooks and crannies with the surveyor, and has scraped up elbows from getting down and dirty in there! Two thumbs up for the girl who does it all!

Thanks for another super interesting, informative, and fun video. That is one awesome boat. I am really looking forward to your adventures in her. Best Of Luck!

I should have long ago adopted the habit of clicking "thumbs-up" before watching. Outstanding! Congrats! And I don't think that survey "cost" you a dime - it's a terrific investment - I will be doing same when purchasing my next RV.

I am getting excited for you!

Watch SV Delos for some clues on standing rigging replacement.

I've seen home inspectors that are not that detailed. I know more than many of them. This man you hired is excellent from what I saw on video. Yes money very well spent. You have a lot to learn about sailing, for sure.

You're certainly doing it the right way. Best of luck to you both on this new adventure!

Hey congratulations looks great we are happy for you

I love it...."moseyed over". You guys are double down on your adventures. Fingers crossed all goes well with survey and purchase

Awesome news! Good luck with the negotiations and hopefully finishing it all up! Another AWESOME video again!! Fingers still crossed!!

Love your videos and got to see the plastic thingy's on the portholes @04:06, so I guess it were the same Catamaran you fell in love with a few video's back.

Za very nice video and so educational. Now I know what I must do pre purchase. Thank you both wishing you happy sailing days ahead. God take care of you.

My partner and I have really enjoyed watching you're videos over the past few months. We've enjoyed so much that I'm off to Texas in about 24 hours to pick up our own Class A at MHS. Please keep us posted as you move your adventures off shore. PS .. I think you should call your boat "Trade Wynns" Ed & Dennis in Baltimore MD

Don't know if you did this or not, but ALWAYS close all of the seacock valves before the boat is lifted out of the water. This will prevent all of the water in the lines from draining back out the bottom. When the boat goes back in and you restart everything, the pumps will all still have water in them and will have an easier time repriming. Anytime I start engines, I immediately go look for proper flow of cooling water out the exhaust (assuming your exhaust is above water). Those 4 cylinder Yanmars can run a surprisingly long time without water flow at slow speeds before they start to overheat. If your air cond. pump ever loses prime while you're tied up at the dock, try using the dockside water hose to spray water in to the thru hull fitting where the water is normally discharged ...... sometimes you can get the pump reprimed by doing this and its super easy ! Boat mechanic for 25 + years ;) Also on a 2 year count down to becoming a full time RVer !

The most thorough survey I have witnessed. This guy you hired is worth his worth his weight in gold.

Lol, that sale's man showing all the boat's is a South African. I heard his accent and recognized it immediately.

This is exciting. Good luck!

I'm glad you guys are doing this so I don't have to thanks.

How exciting! when a new video pops up, I'm all 'yay'! plus I'm living vicariously through your videos.....and learning a ton. when we are in this process, we won't feel so novice,I guess :)

thanks for sharing all this information. I had no idea it was so complex. it's not like buying a motorhome driving away! good luck

Exciting stuff! Good luck and anxious to see the next vid.

I'm having the best time re-watching this series of videos. A great way to spend a Saturday afternoon. I hope you're about to set sail from Tonga about now.

I concur Niki always looks great. Been following you for a long time and never disappointed!

this is going to be a fantastic Adventure.

Great video. I am late going back to work from lunch now, from watching the entire video. Good luck. I hope you get the boat. 👍

Good luck with the offer. Hope ya'll get the boat soon so you can begin your next adventure - on the water.

Fair Wynns was the first thing that popped into my head when you said you were looking for a name, it only makes sense , no big deal just a way to tell you two how much my husband and I look forward to watching your progress. It is contagious to see how much fun you're having. would like to mention a note though, cats, need to look into their safety for your sanity beacon light collar and a life vest that inflates on impact might be a good idea

Love following you guys!!!!

The entire process feels so exciting !!! you guys are awesome !!! ;)

How exciting for you, can't wait to see Capt Singa at the helm.

Congratulations. Hope everything goes as plane for you guys. Cant wait to see new adventures. Winds of luck from Portugal. Luis.

You inspired me so much thanks:) I will be a 43 moneohull and sailing the would. I hope to see you soon.

You guys are very entertaining.

Happy New Year 2020, this is just as relevant for me having boat surveyed this month in Tahtiti. Great info folks and wish me luck!

Awesome! Thanks for taking the time to make this!

Im going on a sailing holiday this year so these sailing videos are so interesting

This video has amazing content and is really well made. Thanks SO much.

Congrats on how well your inspection, haul out and sea trial went!!!!!!!! I vote for either Wynndy or Kitty as the name for your NEW boat!!!!!! Praying for your negotiations!!!! And praying for your patience!!!! :)

Documenting it is the best.

That owner must have been sweating bullets hanging around for the survey lol. Just now working my way though all of your videos - great seeing the whole process!

Hi there, I loved your RV videos you were making, considering me and my wife are in the market right now for a RV, but on the other side, I use to sail when I was younger so I look forward to your next adventure, sailing. Also, it is usually considered bad luck to change the name of the boat after it has already been given one.

this is amazing. thank you

I have shared this video with everyone I know on Facebook, hope they catch on such a great series

Thanks for sharing!

Two of the most exciting days of owning a boat......the day you purchase it, and the day you sell it.

I'm not a sailor but the idea of a Catamaran is interesting. Anyway , while checking out videos, I found one which might be of interest to you from the point of view of technology and SAFETY devices. His U tube handle is: "Off the Starboard Hull" and the video is " My Lagoon 400 S2 Safety Video". It's a 32 minute video and he seems to be "the king of safety and back-up devices". Hope you find this of interest.

I am so excited to watch this. I am soaking up this knowledge!!!

What a learning experience.

We had a small cabin cruiser in the 90's, we named it "Obsession", because we were obsessed with boating back then. LOL!

You guys are so great on camera. I really enjoy watching :-)

You guys make me think of some HGTV show, great editing and narration.

It’s looking good! My fingers are crossed for this boat to be the one.

This was FASCINATING. And funny watching you do the pump repair. I had to do the harmonic balancer replacement on our car. My husbands big fat hands wouldn't fit inside the engine. I watched some of your older vids yesterday. The tours each time you got a new RV. I'm getting an interesting education. Do you think the internet wants to see a 50s something widow RV by herself? LOL

"Wynn Streamer" is my Idea and Thank you for the video update.. very exciting and fingers are crossed, toes too (OMG CRAMP) anyway Eagerly awaiting next video-John and Linda!

Great job on the video, I had a lot of fun watching it.

That was very interesting, glad you documented it. Perhaps the biggest surprise was that despite at least two solid opportunities, neither of you mentioned having a cocktail even once! ;)

Don't negotiate against yourself. Take the survey to the seller and ask him to fix all the items. Let him tell you what he is willing to do. Might surprise you. Don't volunteer to let him off the hook.

If you are going to do some training (which I recommend), check which ones the insurance company prefer, as it can make quite a difference to the insurance costs. I have seen cases where two similar courses were offered, but only one qualified for an insuarnce discount. Great videos, please keep them coming.

Very important to reprime the cooling system after a lift out. All the water will have drained from the pickup side. If you run the engine without repriming there is a risk of burning out the impellor. Always carry plenty of spares. Also you may have a stern gland on the prop shaft that needs squeezing to release air. Survey and lift out sounds like a reasonable percentage of your purchase cost

Great surveyer guy,congrats to his job well done

Patience is a virtue

Looking forward to your cruising video's! Not going to be land locked anymore.

Super informative video. ^.^ well done

you are going to love that boat

good video Jason and Nikki

Congratz on the boat. Glad the survey was good. Good Name for the boat is "Gone With The Wind" LOL or Betty The Boat. I got the RV not maybe next will be a boat. My dream is 40-45 mono. Glad for you guys.

Best of luck with the rest of the process of buying a boat.

Very interesting video, I’m looking for a yacht and your video was great.

I think Scarlett would be a great name for her! It keeps the whole Gone with the wind (Wynns) theme going for you. Love your videos!
