Those were the best. I recall my family having the same concept when I was a child. We are in search of the right boat for everyone. Thanks for the support! Appreciate you following along on our channel.

Anclote key/three rooker is the life for me!

@@BBatazhan You know it!!! Remember when Anclote was a huge sand bar? And when 3 rooker was one island 🤣 I'd say those were the days, but I still frequent both islands!

I'm rebuilding a 1972 Starcraft 16' Deep V . I'm keeping the side console so I have plenty of floor space to sleep. Im going to rig some kind of camping top.👍

Yes I can relate to that. We just bought our third boat. First one was a little 4.2mtr little 4 seater speedboat with a 40hp on it. Used it for watersports and for camping out on anchor small as it was. We made a little camper canvas to be able to be dry and warm. The back to back seats could go in lounge mode with the last of the 4 pieces under 45 degrees up. We would lie down and the cockpit was 100% filled at this point. shoulders touching each other and the sides. I made carpet and indirect lights under the little gunnels and we could make tea when I sat down on the mini bow. Sitting straight up would mean your complete head was higher than the windshield. It was a very small boat. When most of our friends got into having kids we felt it was time to upgrade so friends could still come with us for a day on the water incl kids. So we ended up with a yr 2000 Maxum 1900 sc with 4.6ltr v6 mercruiser. This boat was a sports cuddy and also had a full little camper canvas, little porto potti, 6 seats and padded engine cover that could flip over to convert to an extended table so you could eat on it with 4 people seated on the two seats next to the engine cover and the two back seats of the two back to back seats in the boat. We also camped out a lot with this one and also used it a lot for watersports. For camping out on anchor we usually stayed for two nights and had food an water to provide us for those two and a half days on the water. Later even had a 100watt semi flex solar panel to have power for the little car fridge we took in later years. Even with our daugther we kept going camping with it. But When she started getting bigger sleeping space got a problem. Again trying to sleep in a space that became too small in this cuddy with the tree of us. So last year we decided it was finally time to get a bigger boat and ended up with a yr 2001 cruisers yachts 3470 express. Great boat with a lot of space compared what we were used to. Two Yanmar turbo diesels. It has a lot of comfort because it is like a little luxery house that can move pretty swift compared to a speedboat that can sleep two persons in a small cuddy you need to crawl in to. But I must say that I do miss the ease of use and manouvering of the old trailered boat. Miss fast acceleration and the feel of going fast and flying over waves. But in the end it is a much better situation for us because the Maxum got too small and we took so much stuff for the weekend. Many towels, food, little camping stove to make simple meals on the swimplatform or make tea and coffee. the car fridge, solar panel that we only had out when on anchor, the extra battery, the rc boat and charger, phones tablet, little battery powerd bodyboard, water, floties etc. The longest time we stayed on board at anchor was 5 nights with the three of us in the little nature reserve. Great trip. swimming and playing, watching a movie in the evening, doing games. So yeah great great memories but now busy making more with an even bigger boat.

It is a very beautiful place. Thanks so much for the kind words and support!

Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed the video. It's never too late to get out there and enjoy it for yourself.

Thanks for following along. Happy to hear you guys enjoyed your trip. That must have been an epic camping trip. We need to look into a coffee pot to bring out.

Thanks so much for following along on our adventure.

Thanks so much! Stay warm.

I bet it was incredible. I would like to try it in a sports fishing boat.

We saw one recently, neat design. We are still in search for the perfect boat for our new family.

@@LifeByTheBow We traded in the ski boat for a 20 foot pontoon. large enough platform to take kids without worrying about bouncing them overboard. Lol just moved the action inside the boat instead of outside. A lily pad, sunscreen and a cooler full of beers, fishing rods, daiquiris is all we need. Cheers!

Our pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it.

Our pleasure! We are glad to hear you're enjoying the Channel. Hopefully you can make it this way soon to experience for yourself again. Best wishes!

I'm sure the landscape has changed a lot. I never had the chance to see what it was like then but I bet it was beautiful.

We actually used the front of the boat cover. We had it custom built for the boat. It's made by Captains Tailor.

Hmmm not sure I think it’s a little different since you’re technically in a big body of water

Yeah, but sometimes things happen. Thanks for watching!

Lol there’s only 99 other reasons now for a Verrado to leave you stranded

Glad you have had a great experience with Vrods. Thanks so much for watching!

Just preference but maybe if we had the smaller boat we'd choose an island over the boat. Thanks for watching!

@@LifeByTheBow ok I get it, thanks for the reply. Your channel is awesome…

We are prototyping it. Thanks for watching!

It's not fixed yet. Thanks for watching!

Haha, not sure if that’s the direction we are headed. I’m sure Stephanie would love it lol. Thanks for watching!

Thanks so much! I appreciate the support all the way around.
