    this is the second "walk through" I've watched presented by someone who sounds like a giggly teenager who of course skipped most of the important stuff - the mechanicals. A boat is not a "house" and you aren't marketing to idiots for the most part.

    Interior is a let down. Put a breakfast counter in with a port door, don’t need couches on both sides, free chairs, poker table? Every meal in the living room on a 54 f boat?

    2,000 NM at 10 knots. 829 at 20 knots. Incredible!! Long range cruising combined with low fuel burn at higher speeds, cruising speed is about 24 knots!

    Respectfully, if I may offer a suggestion. I've watch a few of your presentations recently. I enjoy them. You've shown very nice boats in the past, and you cover the features quite well. But, one thing that seems to detract from your videos for me is that the person behind the camera tends to be too focused on keeping "you" centered in the frame, as opposed to focusing on the features of the boat instead. If I may suggest one idea...Respectfully? Maybe consider doing a short opening and closing presentation on camera, then a voice-over of the video throughout the remaining video. That way people are more focused on the boat. With the tight quarters on a boat, it seems the person behind the camera often struggles with finding a good camera angle to keep you and the features in the frame. Case in point, when you went down the port side deck from aft to forward- The only thing the camera person was focusing on was your back. Hope you don't mind me sharing this thought. Very nice boat BTW! Have a great weekend.

    This is one of the most frustrating videos ive seen of a boat walkthrough. The camera person needs to learn how to point it at things as described which means to point it down and pan it to the sides way way more often.

    Yeah great! You NEVER show the engine rooms!! I’m a potential buyer and I know what they look like inside. But seeing the engine room is FAR more important to me. You don’t list any equipment or hull specs in your videos. That was a beautiful boat btw, maybe next time you could remember how IMPORTANT the engine room and mechanical specs are to serious buyers.

    Too bad, as "Cats don't like water." But with all that weight, at only 435hp each it would be easy to re-power with Yanmar 6's, no need to go to a large 6 like MAN because the resistance curve of this boat runs into a wall and more power will only suck down more fuel with little to no gain in speed.

  • @josephkordinak1591
    @josephkordinak1591Ай бұрын

    Never liked how so many builders used 3208's, they are throw away engines. I would go with a Cummins 6 myself. A pair of Cummins 8.3's would be sweet sitting in that engine room.

    @@josephkordinak1591 Know what you mean about Cats, but it's best to get something designed for marine use to begin with. Yanmars may not be big enough for the preferred rating in such a semi displacement hull, but MAN were built to run continuously for really long periods of time - and of course that as Rudolph Diesel's company in the beginning. But I have never heard such smooth or quieter running engines at any speed. No affiliation, I just did a lot of studies before choosing.

    I know Grand Banks Yachts will sell themselves but this video takes the biscuit as it were. Would it be unfair to expect a walk around and have some sort of explanation about the yacht. They are not cheap and are a significant investment as it were. Grand Banks put a lot of effort into their yachts sadly it was not matched by this video or presentation as it were.

    Hi Mark, we typical do walkthrough videos of all our boats! However this boat is not yet in our possession to be able to do the normal detailed walkthrough that we would prefer. She will arrive in South Florida soon though so keep a look out! Thanks for watching 😊

    Nice boat. Been looking around lots. Would prefer a door on the port side rather than storage, would never be interested in built in sofas, well maybe one side but for sure separate chairs on one side. Not sure if all the small windows open. Was looking at the Hunt 63 and fell in love with the wood slat or fake wood ceiling, vinyl has issues after a while. . Grand Banks are nice tho.

  • @grandbanksyachtsspecialist
    @grandbanksyachtsspecialist4 ай бұрын

    There are three large electric windows in the salon (middle ones to port and starboard) and depending on the boat either one or both of the aft windows drop as well. We can do many different arrangements in the salon for seating so we can definitely accommodate your requests along with a custom wood slat headliner, I am sure we can manage that! We actually just listed a boat right now with separate chairs to port and opposing couches to starboard (view photos here - www.yachtpics.com/grand_banks_yacht_sales/60_grand_banks_passat_I/index.html).
