My partner and I just bought a 1983 Hatteras 43 DC to liveaboard! I have to say, your videos were invaluable to the decision over the past year or so! Hope to see you all out there sometime!

Thank you for providing a video with some short jams of your musical talents. Rock on; love the organic vibe.

Lovers of life and each other....great as usual thank you For including us in your very cool ride!

It's the little things like this that I find very interesting about boat ownership, and winterizing. Thanks Ed and Lynn for sharing your experiences! Especially loved your live Q&A that your hosted last month too. You even answered a couple of my questions during it.

Nothing like a Halloween party on the boat while the cold winds blow. Spring is right around the corner.

Sorry if I make typing errors, somebody was chopping onions. Dear Lyn and Ed, As much as the tales of Trying Not To Sink are amazing, the love the two you share and show, especially when playing and singing trumps all. (and made my vision blurry) Here's to fair winds and following seas. Hope some day to be able to meet and buy y'all a drink.

I’ve got external vent covers foamy Hatteras 53. I also put a layer of foil insulation over the top of the vent boxes. I also remove the inspection ports under vanities to promote warm air flow for fresh water pipes. Also, suggest purchasing a tube of zipper lube for your fly ridge curtains

Happy anniversary Ed & Lynn you definitely have a fan with me - looking forward to seeing your future trips your friend Don 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Happy anniversary to both of you. I'd love how you come up with solutions for issues that pop up. Just like with the 220 heater I never would have thought about tapping the switches. That was absolutely genius. I didn't even know about the amp draws from 220 and 110. Here's a little tip that I have for you On your isinglass. Mothers makes a product that is meant to be used with their Powerball. It's a plastic conditioner and cleaner. After I was done everybody at the marina stopped and looked at our boat. They could not believe how good it actually turned out. The only thing I can say for doing it right is just to read the instructions. I know as a man we're not supposed to read instructions. Just do what I do take the instructions in the bathroom and as you're walking to it start complaining there's nothing to read around here. -) I'm really impressed that you don't winterize in the Philly. Trust me I know how cold it gets up there. Here in Annapolis we will sometimes get some very cold temperatures but it doesn't stick around like it used to. I'm surprised that your marina allows you to have heaters plugged up over the winter. I can't remember if you guys are living on your boat now. I follow a lot of different boaters but by far you too are my favorite. You don't use T&A to get people to watch your videos. My wife will tell you first hand that kind of nonsense pushes me away. I had subscribed to a Harley magazine for years and they slowly starting moving intowards haven't asked naked women sitting on bikes. So I finally after all those years canceled my membership. I respect someone more on content of a subject than trying to distract you since they can not add to the subject. I cannot wait to see your Annapolis video. Thank you for another great video and for giving some needed knowledge out there. Again happy anniversary, you too still seem like honeymooners.

Happy Anniversary Ed & Lynn!!! Love the Boat & the Bird. I had a Grey for 31 years, he was around 36-38 years old when he passed away.

Ok Guys here are a few tips to survive on a boat through the winter. Since you are not insulating your water lines make sure to turn off the water when you leave. If you want to have running water you have to insulate the water line from the dock to the boat. If you are staying at Pier 5 there water lines have heat lines around the water supply lines. My next tip is to get wall mounted electric heaters that have a thermostat on them they are a lot safer than space heaters. Also check your power lines often for burnt tips. I've seen to many boats catch fire because the lines over heated even in the dead of winter. Another tip is to have a dehumidifier that will help to keep the condensation down on the boat. And my last and least favorite is putting plastic on the outside of the windows that will also help with the condensation. So just a few tips of living on a boat at Pier 5 for 18 years. Stay warm and safe.

Very romantic. Happy anniversary!

Happy Anniversary! I loved the outfits you had on. Good thinking about using 220 volts to reduce the amps!

That is very interesting! We’re thinking of having our Hatteras 50 MY taken out of Lake of the Ozarks and put in the Mississippi River to take down to the gulf. I think we’re wanting to go to the Bahamas this upcoming summer! Hey! Maybe we’ll see ya around! Happy boating!

Happy Anniversary . Loved the bird giving you the eye.. I even recognized some of the songs , show how old I am too ..LOL

Family is key. Thanks for sharing. Roger out.

Great video! Thanks for having me over for the Halloween party, and toilet papering our boat 😏, hope it was a great anniversary

The Boats and Hoes banner raised your awesome level to 1000!

I'd probably would put remove before running streamers on your engine room vent covers, or when you make the next set use bright orange or something that stands out so you never forget them. Ceramic heaters might be a better option for heat and a lot safer than those you have now.

Love the channel and happy anniversary!

Happy anniversary Ed and Lynn!!

Happy Anniversary. Another great video- well edited and interesting. I thought I reached the end of KZfaq and then you saved me.

I had nice Sunbrella covers made that just snap on over the engine vents on the outside of the boat to keep the cold out.

I love your Channel and look forward to notifications of your posting of a new video. This video does not disappoint. I hope you had a great Halloween. It looks like everyone was enjoying themselves. I’m not a safety expert, yet from my limited knowledge about fire safety, it appears that use of space heaters that are left unattended, or perhaps while sleeping could be considered a fire hazard. Just thought I’d share my thoughts to make sure you’ve considered this potential risk. Anyway, just a quick FYI. I hope you have a great Winter season in the waters off of Philadelphia...Ed

Happy Anniversary Day Sailors, it is only r`n`r but I like it, wish Wiki and Pegasus Crew from Finland

Happy Anniversary

I use 2 off the radiator heaters on my boat. They have a thermostat and I like the safety feature they offer.

And PS happy anniversary

When you have to deal with really big motors, 4160 volt works great for the same reason as your 220 volt heaters. Stay warm, oz.

I'm going with one of those China diesel heaters 8 kilowatt it draws 5Watts after startup my boat project is coming along nicely just re teak the top two panels of the hatch and redid the gutters and Silicon it all in bathroom is sanded all but two pieces and needs to be teak the enclosure turned out good she did a good job on it I had just bought a sewing machine I am going to redo my canvas also love the jam session and y'alls channel

PLAY SOME SKYNARD. LOL 😂 I always yell that out!! Th pastor hates when I do that!!!

7:53 I was just about to ask why you guys don't use diesel heating. I installed an 8 KW diesel heater from Planar in my Princess 38 and it cost me around 1,200 euros including installation. Two pieces would probably be enough for your boat and it is definitely worth it. I also know enough people who let the heating run through the whole winter without any problems.

When did you go full douch bag with the ponytail?

lyne what a nice man u have

You’re better off storing the ision glass for the winter because it gets extremely brittle when it’s cold so the chances of it cracking are high. Or heat it as best as possible.

💯

I’m not sure how safe those electric heaters are Ed seems sketchy to be leaving them unintended, but maybe just me?

awww im so jelouse

You ever think about getting Webasto Diesel heater and piping boat ?

Lol, I can never get Jana to leave either....

Ed, to reduce the fire risk several have mentioned, a stone paver under the heaters would do the trick. With the heaters centered on the paver. Odd question: Want a Russian Typhoon class ballistic missile submarine with it's own 2 nuclear reactors? 175 meters long 45,000 gross tons when submerged. only $945,000 CAD. ? Listed on Craigslist for Vancouver BC.

Good info and viewer suggestions. Do you get ice in the water around your boat? I've heard that some people have bubbles in the water to prevent ice.

Thank God you're not a politician now a days because pretty soon thery will be executed for crimes against humanity! Ps love you show and stay safe.

I enjoy your videos. I used to hang out at Penns Landing even before it was built up. Great place to get sun in the winter. What is the product you are using to seal off the openings in the engine room? I am thinking they may be useful in my motorhome.

What is the 220 heater you got for your salon? We are trying to find a 220 heater that doesn't look like a garage heater, but haven't found so far. Yours would be perfect for our needs. Can you tell me the brand/name, model number? Thanks.

are you going to use a bubbler in the slip or doesn't it get cold enough for long enough to matter

You mentioned your Carver, why would it have to be winterized if your Hatteras doesn't? (Assuming you only have one at a time and were using them similarly).

Are there issues with the electric heaters being a fire hazard, just wondering since I've seen so many house fires caused by them?

I wonder if they are making a marine application heatpump yet that works as well as the new mini splits, mine is rated to -5 F (This will be my first winter with it and we've already been down to the low 20's and it supprised me at how hot it was blowing) how ever I've been seeing some that are rated all the way down to -24f with videos showing them blowing hot at -27 here on youtube.

Those "vents" arent they just a big hole for water to enter the engine room?

While you're somewhat correct with wattages needed to heat that much space, you slightly messed up on the 120 volt portion. If you connect all the 120 volt units on one circuit coming form the pedestal (and I know your "floating home" uses 120/220 volts----essentially two 120 volt circuits, then.....yes you probably were using 70 amps. Had you found a way to balance the load----halve the heat units on one circuit and half on the other, you would have been fine. By switching to the 220 volt heaters, and using both the circuits from the pedestal, you eliminated the guesswork. Just a long explanation on how you made it more "fool proof"

what is your air draft on the boat

A little bit of Pink Floyd animals playing in that little tune

Thanks Ed & Lynn. I need my boat porn.
