I love your energy and enthusiasm when exploring different boats. Great job can’t wait for your next adventure
Thank you steva! ♥️
Great comparison of those models! When we bought our Jeanneau, the Cutwater was our other option, but the gunnels to walk around and to the front of the boat are very narrow and not safe. When you need someone to go to the front to assist docking or with the anchor in a rough situation, it is not safe. For us safety was a deal breaker. Now, they added an extension attachment to the walking area on the sides but it looks weird. The Jeanneau has a nice wide area with a railing to walk around the boat. Great job!
Thanks! Coming from a walk around cuddly boat, I thought the gunnels were pretty standard. Safer than our Grady even. The jeanneau definitely had more space to walk around. It’s all compromise with boats. What I won’t compromise with is the creaky, noisy and bouncy floors in the cockpit and in the cabin as you hear and see in the video. Especially if I’m paying 500k for a boat (which I wouldn’t). Nice boats, cool styling, layouts were great but didn’t come close to the quality of the cut water, ranger and solara boats in our opinion. Small fuel tanks so you don’t have as much range. I’m curious to know the running numbers as it seemed these boats were underpowered too. Any of these boats are better than our boat though 🤣 Different boats for different folks! Thanks for the comment! 🤙
You were both troopers braving all the rain - thanks for all the info!
🤣we did our best! Thank you buddy! 🤙
We had tickets to the boat show, but didn't go because of the rain. We were going *specifically* to look at boats in this category, so thanks for braving the elements so I didn't have to! Great work, Captain!
Shucks Kirk! Sorry you guys couldn’t make it! We’re glad the video helped though! Thanks for the comment Cap! 🤙
Boat shows in the rain are the best. No lines all boats are accessible.
@warlordop713 you’re right about that! we just weren’t prepared. Fail to prepare be prepared to fail. One tiny umbrella wasn’t cutting it lol. You also get to if the boats leak at all. If you check out our other video, and if you look closely, the Parker was leaking through the top hatch. 🤙
I liked the 1095. 3 berths, full bath with stand up shower. Seems like a nice one.
That was a nice one too! tons of space! 🤙
Did you look at the Jeanneau 895 Sport. It was in the background when you looked at the 695 in a different video.
I have to double check we may have missed that one. The rain was a real pain and we were trying to not get soaked half the time. There were also the European Parker boats but they didn’t have any reps on them and they were closed. So we may have missed a few boats. Sorry about that.
Y'all nailed it with that cutwater 288. Definitely my pick as well. I am a large man at 6'1" and pushing 300 I feel like it would be the least uncomfortable for me.
Thank you so much! It definitely had the most space of the bunch. Lots of room to move around! 🤙
Just watching now - the Cutwater C-288 C is sold as the luxury edition which comes with Lithium-Ion batteries for AC and reverse cycle heat - I think the version you showed was the luxury edition so no generator needed unless you are going for extended cruising !
This one did have the lithium batteries so you’re correct! I think you get 8hrs of ac with it! 🤙
Wow all boat beautiful
Hey guys, greetings from New York City. I have a suggestion. I think it would be great if you guys could review the boats in a tag-team “format”. My wife wants to hear what Alison likes about the boat. So maybe Alison could review one boat or one part of the boat and explain the features that are most appealing to her as a woman, and perhaps the guy can focus on the electronics, the engine, fishing features and other things that appeal more to guys?
I think that’s a great idea! And thank you so much for the comment! That’s definitely something we will be working on! You’re totally right! Thanks again!
@@perfectfitboating We are in the market to upgrade our 25 ft Sea Ray to maybe 35 ft or more so these walkthrough overviews are very helpful. Naturally my wife wants to hear Alison"s opinion because the reality is in my neck of the woods, New York City, the women are in charge of the boat. The guys just drive it (but only when the women let them do so :)
@@gm1937 🤣🤣l love it! Glad you enjoyed the video. We’ll be doing more as more boat shows pop up! Thanks for watching!🤙
Yes I agree. If you want to build your channel you definitely need to utilize your greatest asset Alli. You are a great couple just a little friendly advice.
@77RB77 absolutely! We have a boat show coming next month, we’ll do a tag team on that one it’ll be great! 🤙
Love it brother .. Kristy and I just finished watching the one before this. Watching the second time I laughed at the music you added with the S Poll. 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 gotta have fun doing these! Thank you for the support brother! 🤙
@@perfectfitboating 🤣🤣
Very well done Review, I liked the 1095!!
Cool boat. Just felt cheap and made a lot of noise! Thank you brother!🤙
Great detailed video! Thanks Brother! Enjoyed it! Peace from the Keys!
Thank you Jorge! Appreciate you! 🤙
Testing in the rain/bad weather makes for the perfect review weather!
Youre right about that… check out our other video we did at this show. You can see a leaky window in the Parker boat 😳
Actually you brought an unexpected journey for me. I loved the oceanis 30.1 (coastal distance in small comfort) in particular. I’m athletic but 70’s and climbing a mast could be a reality. My interests, under $200k pocket yacht, possibly trailerable. The real beauties seem to be about $300k and slip required. Thanks for introducing the cabin cruisers to me.
You’re very welcome! And thank you so much for watching! We’re headed to another show this weekend so stay tuned for more vids!! 🤙
I got catfished with the thumbnail!
Didn’t you see the yachts!? 🤣😉
bro... i like your videos, i amazed to the boat and yatch you review... awsome the best... 😊❤
Thank you so much jayjay we appreciate that! We’re gonna do our best to keep making them! Thank you for the comment!
@@perfectfitboating for me your the best... happy to watch your videos bro ..
and sorry bro ... both of you is the best for me, hope you can make a videos how to build a yatch.. 🤣 ❤️
@jayjaydelarosa475 we have another project coming up but it’s not a yacht lol just a little skiff! 🤙
Cutwater the perfect boat to do The Great American Loop
Heck yeah!! 🤙
I’ve seen 40 foot boats get trailered on those quad axle trailers in the market for a Grady white 300 Marlin or 282 sailfish currently. Used obviously. It’s easy to know the new boats are a scam. All it takes is a calculator to know how much they are really worth. Those albermales are awesome though. I went on a 41 express back in last July for a sailfish charter. Caught 2 sailfish. 😂
Those Grady’s are sweet boats! We have a 24 offshore pro and we love it. It would be nice to have a 28 or 30. Our fav is the 33 express 😳. And we love the lines of the albermale. Had those clean lines and is a fishing machine! Hopefully you’ll be able to catch more off your grady! Cheers 🍻
If you can, check out the Trophy T29 explorer. It's right in the "pocket yacht" niche, but I want to see someone tour it who *_isn't_* a salesperson looking for a commission. It's also supposed to be an excellent value at $210k. If that's really the price because I only saw it in a comment. Great review, btw! I like most of the Cutwater, except the Isinglass wall and windows.
Hey Bradley! We actually did that boat at the Miami show. Check out that video! It’s huge and has a lot of space! Thanks for the kind words!🤙
@@perfectfitboating Cool! Thanks for the heads-up!
Good job...I like the 1095 and 895
Thank you! Those were nice too! Lots of space! 🤙
The more I boat in Florida, the more I want a boat with the wind in my hair and open windshield. We have removed all our eisenglass on our fly bridge and love it. We haven’t been caught in a rainstorm yet, so maybe I’ll change my mind after that, but time will tell. Always looking for our next boat so thanks for the reviews. Too bad weather sucked!
Thank you so much for the support! Glad you liked the video! Hopefully you won’t ever get caught in a rainstorm, they’re awful! lol are you guys headed to the Sarasota boat show in April? We’ll be there!
Nordic boats like Quarken and Nimbus do not have adequate bathrooms/showers because their boating needs differ from North Americans. Nordic countries like Sweden, Norway and Finland (and Denmark) have a huge network of Archipelagos where many people own cabins or can easily rent one, so these boats mainly serve function as commuters and rarely need overnight accommodation. Nordic boats are relatively new in the North American market so I'm sure, with time, they will release models which would cater to American needs. (As you can see with Axopars)
That’s cool to know thanks for the info! That makes alot more sense. I’m sure they’ll make a change for the American market. They definitely are nice looking boats. Thanks for the comment!
Hey, I really like those boats bro, they're wild! Let's see which bank I raid to buy one 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Excellent video, excellent boats!
🤣🤣🤣 let me know which bank you choose and I’ll help you! Gracias mi hermanito! 🤙
@@perfectfitboating 🤣 Tu sabe'! 🤣
Jeanneau 1095
Thanks guys I think dollar for dollar the cut water is tough to beat especially given the known quantity of this companies commitment through all their lines. As the saying does a seat for every butt.
Thanks Dave! That’s exactly right. It’s hard to beat compared to the rest. 🤙
I think that storage area can hold a lot more cigars than that…you were talking storing cigars down there, right? 🤣
Ummm yeahhhh. Cigars! 🤣🤣🤣 Cuban cigars! 🤣🤣🤣
Great job in the rain,I was there but on Sunday very nice weather on Sunday
Thanks Larry! Weather was awful Friday and Saturday! Couldn’t make it Sunday. Hope you had a nice time! 🤙
cool video, not fan of Non trailerable boats, But maybe one day!!
Thanks bro! Appreciate the support! 🤙
I like the lady so put her NOW 🎉
Sir, yes sir! 🫡
5'12" ?
Just my opinion, but to get maximum views, change up who holds the camera during the video. Split the time 50/50.
We value your opinion bob! We have a boat show coming up in two weeks and you’ll see us tag team on these upcoming videos! Thanks for the comment! 🤙
ITS A SECOND FRIDGE , not an AC
👍
I would call these weekenders not pocket yachts
Yeah I can see that. It can go both ways. Some of these manufacturers actually call them that if you look at the boat cards with the prices. 🤙
You actually said that you didn't like something. Saying you don' like something on a Yacht review is rare, these days. You get points from me. Your wife should be in the review as well, as others have commented on. Couples do better on You Tube, than single reviewers.
Thanks for the comment Michael! I try to be as honest as I can on these walk throughs. It’s hard because everyone prioritizes different things so I try to be as neutral as possible. We have a boat show coming up in two weeks. You’ll see more of her for sure. We’ll be tag teaming on these walk throughs so youre definitely right about that! Thanks for watching! 🤙
That's not a pocket type of thing that's something you give to your wife so she can carry it around in her purse with that stupid bulky hundredthousand dollar watch you bought last week you never wear for more than an hour . Buy the boat , name it The Jewlery Box and sell the watch to pay for the dam thing . Next year maybe think about . No just keep the boat . Make em throw in the trailer , a blender and a good toaster oven , bath towels , kitchen towels and a lot of ice on delivery day .
Let the girl do the video.
No one is stopping her
I would NOT spend anything over $80,000 for a head I can’t stand or shower in!!! STOP BUYING THESE BOATS WAKE THE MANUFACTURERS UP!!!
I’ve seen some of the defiant boats and c dorys who have a standup head in the pilot house and those are sweet. I wish more manufacturers used that in their builds. Thanks for the comment! 🤙
If this your definition of pocket boat .. your pockets are real deep 😂
Pocket YACHT. Big difference 😏
With enough lithium batteries & solar panels you reallly don’t need a generator. You can even design it so the engine/s turn on if your battery banks fall off to a certain level. 2x 24v 400ah batteries, 3500 watt inverter feeding a panel,,,. Life is great & QUIET!
Man that would be amazing. With enough space, you can load up on batteries and solar panels and not have any noise! I think the current setup they have on these smaller boats you get about 6-8 hours of ac run time. Thanks for the comment! 🤙
