Ter waterlating HARMONIE bayliner 2455

Neat little video of a guy hauling away a Bayliner 2455 with what looks to be a Jeep Wrangler or Cherokee That vehicle is probably no more than a small 8 cyl. This shows the power of these pocket cruisers: towable, easy to launch, lots of fun.

Azimut Yachts

Yes, of course, million dollar yachts are nice but I wanted to post this video as an example of slick marketing that shows the elegance associated with being out on the water.  The video could have as well been shot with a 28 ft cabin cruiser.

Astinor 30

Apparently Astinor is some sort of Spanish boatbuilding outfit. I really like what they have done. They have taken a yacht and shrunk it down to 30 feet. Many American builders seem to have gone the opposite way ... starting with cuddy powerboat designs and stretching them into Cabin Cruisers .. all the while forgetting the very concept of the yacht all together.

On this model I could do without the flybridge. In my climate, I'd either be dying in the sun or freezing my butt off in the wind.

Great, stylish video. These Astinors go for a princely sum but you can see how the interiors are 100% luxury.

Trip across Lake Huron on a Bayliner Avanti 3250

This was neat video I found whole trolling around You Tube for boat videos. This video is one of kind and it is a bit exhilirating when you consider that the dude did a 9 hr trip, alone, on an older boat (one that I would be likely to buy.) All that in a 7:48 min clip. I had forgotton how huge of a trip this was until he mentioned that he spent something like $1500 in fuel (2008 when the prices were sky high.)

There's one element of boating that I really like and that is the sense of possible danger but when the risks are properly managed, being in your boat is no more dangerous than being in your car (perhaps safer than a car where you ALWAYS have oncoming traffic.)

Anyone who lives near the Great Lakes is lucky because those damn things are just like the ocean only without the usual salt water problems.

When I do finally buy a boat some day I am going to look for boats that started their life in freshwater. In my area that would be boats in and around Winnepesauke and Lake George, NY and whatever that lake is (Erie?) that borders northern New York. I have noticed some nice craft listed out of northern Vermont which must be Lake Champlain or something.

Anyway, this is a good video and it would be cool if people would make more videos like this whether it is focusing on the fun that they had or more of a technical documentary of the checks/procedures that they perform along the way.
