Thankyou 🙏

She's a real head turner

yeah that one just kinda slipped out, but glad you liked it!

That how we Aussies talk mate lol 🤣

Wow thanks so much for the feedback! Still new at this and really appreciate the feedback

Cheers Geoff, appreciate the feedback and will continue to make more reviews. Thanks for the nice comment!

I would second that

Thanks Roald, going to keep trying to make them better as we continue to learn. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the comment.

No worries, glad you got some value from it

She's a beauty from every angle

Thanks for watching!

She's a gorgeous looking boat for sure!

Cheers

No worries James, i'm still new at this so appreciate the feedback, Cheers

And great looking

Cheers.. i'm happy to hear this

Thankyou! Great boats! Real head turner

Oh no worries at all!

Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks! Yes it has the fixed stabilizer fins aft. No gyro.

Thanks for the feedback!

Living in Croatia, on beautiful Adriatic coast (Dubrovnik) and hoping that we can diminish the CO2 impact , I can not imagine better boating then with hybrid boats ( before we turn to full electric) . Excellent job in presenting the Greenline 40 !

Thankyou!

Cheers

My German is very bad but i think you're saying that the presenter great, actually the greatest presenter on KZfaq and that he should do more videos like this for the great people of Germany. :)

Thank you! Cheers!

Thankyou

39 is a faster hull design - think more Down East style. The 40 has more redundancy with the twins. Stabilizer fins have been fine on the many ocean triips i've done and help the boat track nicely in a following sea.

Agreed!

Yes the original owner preferred Apple Home Pod which is why no stereo installed. You'd be amazed at how good the sound on those things is these days.

I'd love to have a crack on a unicycle! Sounds like heaps of fun. Do people take you seriously rocking up in one of those??

@@theboatbrokerage about being taken seriously, they are kinda curious how a 74 year old can ride one. Practice makes better.

Crikey! Thank's Ken, i'm l'm just learning by doing when it comes to KZfaq so really appreciate the feedback. Trying to make each video a little bit better and your comments really help. Cheers

No worries. That Greenline 40 and its bigger sisters are beautiful boats! I live in western Japan and the 40 or 45 would be perfect for cruising the Seto Inland Sea, also longer stretches to Okinawa and the Ryukyu Island chain down south. Keep up the good work! Looking forward to more of your videos.

@@AlfDog1955 Hi Ken, i don't know much about cruising in Japan but it looks amazing on Google Maps. I have been aboard a couple of 45 Greenline's and they are next level in terms of space and facilities (also price lol). We will list more Greenline's on here in future but i have started another channel kzfaq.info_DansBoatLife where i am just reviewing and testing boats so feel free to keep an eye on that too.

No problem

Thanks and good point!

Not in Australia. Maybe some of the Euro lakes have fully electric boats? We still love our fossil fuels down here

You’d be better off sailing, it’s only capable of cruise speed 4-5kn over time.

No i don't think you would see much difference as you still come up against hull speed with a design like this.

Yes i think that could be the future of electric boating. Hydrogen cells and electric motors for example. Will be exciting to see what happens in the future

@@theboatbrokerage : thank you for your reply. Hydrogen at sea? Probably not a good idea; even in tanks, hydrogen doesn't like to be shaken about too much, and it has to be kept at a very low temperature to be cost-effective. I am currently working on a solution which is capable of running pure electric for long enough to take a 50 foot boat across the Atlantic at an average speed of about 25knots, without using petrol/diesel for more than 10% of the journey. I was very pleasantly surprised to discover that such a feat is not only feasible and cost viable, but the technology already exists. It's just a matter of using it efficiently and thinking "outside the box" to put the whole thing together, up and running.

Hi Don, no joystick on the GL40 but you can have this on the GL45 which comes with either shaft drive or IPS as an option.

Hi Kamin, from what we have seen so far the honest answer is no. There are many experimental boats doing long distance journeys but the technology is not at the stage of mass market production for long distance at this time. I think we will see sailing yachts achieve this first using solar and re-generation while under sail and then we should see some very large motor yachts experimenting with this technology before it filters down to the mass market. Because of the high drag in water it is a big challenge to overcome. We may even see new fuels like hydrogen one day take over petrol and diesel..?

@@theboatbrokerage Thanks for the info! I’ll keep watching as the tech evolves on these boats

check out Silent Yachts its the closest thing that i know of. They already crossed the atlantic with one.

@@danielbrown7231 Thanks! I've seen some videos on them. Unfortunately they are still very expensive. If only some of them were within reach for the average joe that would be great. :)

@@cavemanabc NONE of these boats are within reach of the “average joe”

It uses heaps at 7kts but i think i mentioned the number of Amps we were consuming at 7kts in the video, hopefully that helps?

@@theboatbrokerage, I think you mentioned how much at four or five knots, but not at seven. I’ll go watch again to be sure. And yes, Amps would tell me the answer I’m after with a bit of math and a check to see how many Volts the motor runs at (48, I think).

So in the middle special end of the scale a good prop best metal working sea & best pitch sized diameter for load either holed or studded fine tuned 85% efficient if working not racing motor can hve

I have forgotten the exact capacity now but it did have the upgraded hybrid pack which gave you the more powerful motors and biggest lithium available at the time. It may have been 600AH of lithium but don't hold me to that. 4-5 kts seems to be the best speed under electric as WOT on electric really sucks the juice. I mention the amps i'm consuming in the video from memory

I forget the camera is rolling sometimes lol

@@theboatbrokerage it shows personality and thats what everybody likes... doing a great job Dan!

They are already available. Range and cost is the current problem which has not been solved.

Yes i'm afraid both not recommended and not possible. This boat is just not designed for that kind of a journey. Something like the Nordhavn 40 would be more suited to that trip in a similar sized motor boat.

@@theboatbrokerage thanks. Guess I'll keep looking.

Hi Paul, SHe's actually sold and i've been busy training the new owners how to operate the boat. keep an eye on our website www.theboatbrokerage.com.au for any future listings like this

She's sold now Bhatt but feel free to send me an email enquiries@theboatbrokerage.com and i'll flick you the price. I don't discussing pricing on social media that's why. Cheers

G'day Charlie, i see your points however i would say that the sunroof is pretty essential to let some air through the cabin.. I actually delivered this boat to the new owners yesterday in Melbourne and his kids went straight to that cabin and opened the sliding hatch and started playing and having a real laugh.. i'm no expert but it seemed to work for the little tackas. Dinghy davit system is choice. I love it and can't think of a better solution considering you have solar roof. Thanks for your feedback, i enjoy getting everyone's opinion

@@theboatbrokerage so one customer liked it and all of a sudden it must be on every boat? Not a very good argument. Kids also go for anything they can use their imagination to play on or with. The truth is that skylight will be covered up by pretty much everyone buying the boat, because a cabin is supposed to be private, and opening it up to the cockpit removes that privacy. I think I'm referring to the correct sliding hatch.

This is a really great, informative walk through, so much better than most - great job. I hear they have a new 6th generation hybrid system coming in this now, any idea what has changed?

Hi Paul, this boat was listed for $1M Australian Dollars. I'm happy to exchange an email if it's something you're interested in second hand when the owner is ready to upgrade. my email is dan@theboatbrokerage.com and the Greenline Yachts website is best to use when searching for local dealers www.greenlinehybrid.com/en Good luck these are top boats.

FYI it's Dan Jones responding from my other KZfaq channel. I'm the guy in the video from The Boat Brokerage.

It is a great boat - thanks for the feedback

Haha thanks for the feedback!

Ie if u get fuel rev dialed in perfect load sea normal range u r most likely over taxing motor. Better to shot for 85% fuel push load max spin working normal seas range & long term durability, or your a racer buying new outboard every race or 2 & don't care.

You don't... ;)

I don't know what idiomatic means so we are both confused now :)

@@theboatbrokerage Idiomatic usage / connotation of a word or phrase is divorced from its literal definition and can vary greatly by culture, even among those who speak the same language. The difference in idiomatic words and phrases between cultures, even speaking the same language (especially those who speak it as a second language), can be vast, sometimes confusing, often embarrassing. Idiom is *almost* synonymous colloquially with "slang", but not precisely the same thing. Slang is not always idiomatic. For instance, a non-native speaker might not understand why a couple of guys in the crowd snicker if he asked, "Is Raquetball always played with blue balls?" (For all I know, you might not, maybe this is a US idiom.) Or might not understand that saying, "Man that guy is on fire tonight", is no a cause for alarm. The above is the case even though all speakers could write down the correct definition of all of the words used. "That woman is really fit." = In the UK this is an idiomatic phrase that could mean, in fact most likely means, "That woman is really attractive." "That woman is really fit." = In the USA this phrase ONLY EVER refers to her state of health and physical fitness, NEVER her attractiveness. Not only that, if two men were having a conversation discussing a woman in sight they might not even realize that while they agree with the utterance they are not even discussing the same characteristic. Confusion could arrive if the bloke likes women a little round and curvy. Then the dude, who also likes rounder women, might answer the bloke, "Well, I mean she's smoking (an idiom in its own right), but, bro, I don't think she's worked out a day in her life, she probably gets winded walking up a flight of stairs." The above is the case even though the actual *definition* of "fit" is exactly the same in both cultures. That guy just left. = That guy recently left. This is just what I need. = This is exactly what I need. This boat amenity / feature is *just* here (said almost every single time something is introduced). = ??? Yes, I'm a linguistics nerd. Love the walkthrough though! Thanks.

Good to hear. They are a great looking boat and the finish is up there with the major brands

Haha yes.. but the table unbolts and moves so can be a coffee table too

Personal choice i guess, i can say it chills beers as one would expect. Thanks for the feedback

Copy that. We were trying to show more boat but perhaps not enough.

I suspect she would drag her bum a bit with extra HP. The underwater profile of the 39 would likely benefit from a HP increase but i don't see the 40 benefiting from it. You'd probably just burn more fuel for the same result.

@@theboatbrokerage maybe you right about drag.. but i will like to see more HP and some zipwake, i think she perform better :) Regards

It actually is both a coffee table when down and support for the day bed. Thanks for watching

@@theboatbrokerage Does the table move away from the couch? In the lowered position it appeared to be tight against the couch..

@@GENECARP yes I probably should have mentioned that. It unbolts from the floor so you can move it around

@@theboatbrokerage Thankyou, regards from NY

The question is if you have any idea of the sea keeping capabilities! I ask because this seems more like a fresh water boat and the hull is completely flat. Have you have tested the boat in rough sea or do you have or know any footing in rough sea? Thank you again!

Hi Andrea, Great i'm happy to hear you found this usefull! Yes i've driven multiple GL40's offshore in both up and downwind conditions varying from 1 - 2m swells with both short and long wave periods. The round bilge would be very rolly if it wasn't for the stabilizer fins. These give what is a pretty light hull some directional stability which makes it comfortable and managable in a following sea and less rolly if the swell is on your beam. Upwind if you have her trimmed down and drive at the appropriate speeds she's fine but it is wet so you definately want the 3 sets of windscreen wipers and not the standard one set the boat came with. As a coastal cruiser this hull is fine if you do all the normal things and plan around weather etc. It's not an ocean crossing hull and it doesn't perform as well upwind compared to say a Grand Banks 42 which is heavier and has a keel however it's quicker and faster to manouver at the dock so there is pro's and cons. Hope this was usefull?

@@theboatbrokerage Thank you very much for the reply! Very helpful and it makes sense. On the other end a flat hull, large beam and the 2 stabilizer fins should make this boat more stable at anchor ? (less rolling).

@@adedomini no worries. Yeah I find she rolls normally as a wave passes underneath but the fins kick in and stabilise it very quickly so no tendency to bob around like some round bilges

@@BoatLife_DansBoatLife ok thank you! So at anchor she would roll or be as stable as "normal" boat of the same size....
