That would be a big decision but you're right if you started at the head gaskets for both engines you would have all that covered on a good point but,,, and dropping it off it would have been only 20,000,,,,, it sounds like you learn what you need to learn

LED lights are easy DIY, they make replacement direct bulbs. Your flouresent bulbs can be replaced either direct or have a true LED by unwireing the ballast and direct wire on new tubes, most will have Drivers built into it.....the second option is best because it removes the additional draw from a ballast and more efficient. All DIY....good luck

@SearchingforCShels2 ай бұрын
Spearfishing is allowed in the Bahamas, with a pole spear or Hawaiian sling as you hinted at. You cannot use a speargun in the Bahamas, and you can't spear with anything when scuba diving, you must freedive. We use a pole spear mostly.

In your experiences so far in the Bahamas, is a 5.5ft draft going to be a problem? We want to be able to get in to the anchorages and explore with the tender.
@SearchingforCShels2 ай бұрын
Lots of boat here with 5+ draft with no issues. Those with 7 or more will anchor further out, but you will have no issue getting in to some nice places with 5.5.

In these interviews I want to know things that are impolite to ask: how much did your boat cost? How much do you pay for insurance? How much did your engine repair cost? Your guest talked about the extraordinary cost … but getting to the nitty gritty is what is not often asked. Still you two are amazing
@SearchingforCShels2 ай бұрын
We get it, but if we asked those kinds of questions, no one would want to be interviewed. We tailor the questions to be open enough that if they want to share that kind of info, they can, if not, that is ok too. We appreciate you commenting. Cheers!

Great video. A maiden voyage of 1500 miles ?? Nobody told them this was a bit too much for a 'maiden voyage' ? My god, we were already impressed with ourselves when we did 300 nm as a maiden voyage. 😀 But a Fleming is also our dream boat, still hoping we will come across 'the one' on one day in the future.

We did similar when we took delivery of C-Shel II. We went from New Bern, NC to Ontario, Canada. The Fleming is a dream boat of ours as well. Hope we see each other on the water on our Flemings in the future. Cheers!

@robindavis1572 ай бұрын
Hi Tom, the short answer is YES, but if I had the ability, I would opt for a 58. It's significantly larger than the 55 in all ways, yet, you're not trying to find space, lifts, etc for a 70' boat. However, the 55 checks all of our boxes and more.
