Thanks for sharing. Like #3
Glad you like it!
Good morning a couple c clamps will hold it down
Yes that's a great idea!
You guys previewed a Europa style trawler for us near Stuart about 3 years ago and saved us a lot of money and time. The boat looked great in the brokerage photos but it had been on the hard for several years. Thank you Chris and Alyse for saving us from a very expensive mistake.
@@garyagish glad to help. Sometimes we see boats that are good to go or have minor issues, too.
Good morning. I was told as a young man , the smartest people i will meet in life know to ask other people that have expertise .
@@walterdavis4808 excellent.
Thx. Like #5
I liked that too. HOT day in FL and I was walking on a pier under covered slips. What could be better!
Couldn’t ask for a more perfect morning!
Smooth operator this Captain. !
Hopefully the purchase headsets
@@JJP72095 that could’ve helped.
Good morning 0 dark 30 is my favorite time of the day
Chickens are awake and ready for the new day, so are we!
Thanks for sharing. Like #13. Gotta like dual thrusters
You bet.
Is it safe to assume the thrusters are both hydraulic?
@@fredlamprey8824 yes
Good afternoon
@@walterdavis4808 let’s go waterskiing this afternoon to cool off.
@AskCaptainChris never been water skiing . And my boats to slow !
Nice, easy descent into the well. Long pause, before he continued. Keeps the boat from "wash tubbing" and rocking back and forth. Saves a lot of $$ by not scuffing the hull. Great job operator!
IN South FL these guys are Pros, they have full time dedicated Travel Lift operators so they have the experience to do it right.
Thanks for sharing. Like 9

Nice looking Boat. I'll never be able to afford one this big. I did notice the drive system. I don't think I would consider a setup like this.
Volvo diesel IPS 600 system. Very popular. Welcome back Smokey!
Hey smokey ! You never know. things get old and need a little clean up and repair ,.. you got a big damn boat to play with !
Had he been prepared with docking lines, this would've been over on the first shot!
And he knew it too….too late.
Nice view of the bridge Isn't this the one a Ship hit a while back.
Yes it is, gone now!
Hope alls well by you Smokey-have a dandy 4th my friend🇺🇸
@@johnm5714 Us too from sunny Vero Beach!
🇺🇸It’s the 4th of July buoy-and with that I hope every great American here has wonderful-safe holiday today! That’s a great shot of that Bridge Chris-I hope it can look like that again real soon…🇺🇸
This buoy is representing the War of 1812.
@@AskCaptainChris thanks for the history Chris-fitting for today being July 4th but very interesting to know it’s true meaning. Sad to know the bridge was destroyed a while back and souls were lost.
@@johnm5714 yes very sad for those who perished. But the pilot and crew’s fast response are what saved so many more lives by notifying the bridge of what was unfortunately imminent.
Good morning
Beautiful day on the ocean, come to FLA!
@@AskCaptainChris if i get the boat right and can make the time, she might be in hobe sound this winter
@@walterdavis4808 You'll pass by us in Vero Beach on the way to Hobe Sound.
@AskCaptainChris ill stop by ,!
@@walterdavis4808definitely do.
I honestly did not know you could come in to Ft Lauderdale and not have to wait on a cruise ship to maneuver to leave.
They arrive in the evening and leave in the morning, middle of the day is no problem.
Dates for your diesel maint course? Cost?
Thanks for your call. Here’s a link to the course outlines and upcoming dates. www.captainchrisshipstore.com/ and you can always do FaceTime or a private course. Hope to see you soon.
😃
Good morning
Good morning and let’s hope you don’t need your lifejacket today.
@AskCaptainChris funny you should say that .... on the list of things to do is take a small john boat to clean out a blocked drain in a detention pond that is over flowing !
@@walterdavis4808 that would really be yucky to fall in that. Watch out for snapper turtles and snakes.
@@AskCaptainChris it went pretty smoothly
@@walterdavis4808 👍🏼
Good morning , thats a nice clean space .
Morning from Stuart once again, different boat. Agree- clean engine space. Clean makes it easier to see any issues.
Fenders are good…..Even better when they’re deployed a few minutes before you need them….
buy a $3 wrench dont use gauge to do that ...
The gauge belongs there and that’s all the tools we had aboard because the client just bought the boat. Yup. Needed a few more trips to Harbor Freight.
Thanks. Like 8
Good morning. How high does that open for boat traffic?
About 20 feet. Good morning too.
@@AskCaptainChris hummm. Not sail boat friendly !
If it's a lock, it only seems to have 1 door. Upstream traffic will shoot through when it opens like water down a drain. Wear your life vest.
That’s a flood gate. And you should always wear your LJ going through locks.
Stargazer looks like a Mainship 34 Pilot.
Good morning. Nice little 3 cylinder deisle .
Yes. Northern Lights is the brand. And good morning back atcha.
Looks like you can get to most of it to service.
Everything except the exhaust elbow on the back side. These are great machines and have more copper than most other generators.
I just noticed the blue tab. What happens if I don’t pull that up?
Then the needle won’t move accurately. That’s a shipping wedge.
Good morning ,
Good afternoon from Stuart. Last minute call to help a new owner learn below deck systems.
Nice looking Boat, love this style 👌
Welcome back Smokey, we missed you, hope all is well!
@AskCaptainChris Thank you. I always watch, just haven't been commenting. They have us on 4-10s. I have to leave at 5:30 a.m.
@@alabamasmokeywilson6818 yikes. That o’dark thirty for sure!! But it must be nice to have that extra day off each week. Say hi to Shortster.
I can spot KK, Fleming, and Nordhaven boats from a mile away. Deep down, I think it's because I'm jealous and I know I'll never own one.
Keep dreaming and buy lottery tickets. We WON $2 last week. Trying for a bigger payout!
A dollar and a dream !
That Krogan 52 is a nice looking boat. I like how the bow swoops up. Probably handles the ocean pretty well.
Yes it does. 👍🏼
Chris knows EVERYONE at the Ft Pierce Marina.
My home stomping grounds, just a few miles south of Vero Beach.
Looks like a great place to be. Wish i was retired lol
Take vacation and come to FL.
Good morning
Yes it is, we love our cool FL mornings. It was down to 75 under our palm trees!
@AskCaptainChris i had to go home . There was a really bad thunder storm that took out the power for the next few days .... one of the kids filled the generator with heating oil ... it runs on gas . now im fixing it.
@@walterdavis4808 Is your heating oil kerosene or diesel? Is it stored in a yellow or orange jug. At least nothing blew up. I assume the gas engine will smoke for a while.
@AskCaptainChris it was in an old gas can labled " waste oil " . Generator is running now , im onto the lawn mower now
@@walterdavis4808good job Macgyver!
Good morning
CBD and I do not mean hemp oil!
@AskCaptainChris every day im a day closer to the water !
Welcome to the Palm Beaches!
I love your videos. I am a captain myself learning the ICW and seas. You have been very helpful. Keep it up Captain and thanks.
Thanks for watching. Glad to be helpful.
Where is this marina in Pawley's Island? I've spent many of weeks there and I know the marinas in Murrell's Inlet and Georgetown. I agree with on the bow line, I can make a twin screw boat "dance" in any conditions.
I think this was a Safe Harbor Marina.
@@AskCaptainChris So in Charleston, SC?
@@jeffreypinder9398it’s a town called Pawleys Island SC on the Waccamaw River north of Georgetown.
@@AskCaptainChris I stand corrected, it's Safe Harbor Preserve.
Good information excellent video. Thanks Captain Chris
Thank you. I enjoy sharing everything I see during a regular day's work on other peoples boats. I get to explore.
Not turning off the AIS just creates a bunch of useless clutter, if you are not underway.
I agree and it gets worse everyday. Some waterway channels are polluted with AIS ICONS and you may not see the ATONs on the chartplotter. When you tie up the boat and go home TURN OFF THE AIS so others can see.
We enjoy these NYS canals
We do too.
What about wake next to floating dredge lines Capt'n?
We were traveling at idle speed. The dredge system was fine.
Good morning .
Great day, orange sunrise and promise of afternoon rain!
BEST time to dock, at SUNSET....DEAD CALM! Same for daybreak. Only other thing of concern is current.
If you are lucky enough….👍🏼
Good morning. Guy did good !
Slow and easy. Looks like he has done this before?
Good morning
Another beautiful day here in Vero Beach. That storm off the North FL and GA coast seems to leave us alone and head away from us. YEAH!
@AskCaptainChris still hitting the hay fields , once im done its boat life !
@@walterdavis4808 are you ever done with the crops in the fields? Lucille? (Sorry. I got carried away on that one )
@AskCaptainChris yea. By the first week of july i should be finishing up
