The Pirate Ship Podcast: Recent Episodes
goseatheworld
Doing hard stuff takes courage, but more importantly it takes keeping the right perspective. I am a former Playboy Playmate, a USCG Captain, a YouTuber and single mom. I have been living on a tiny sailboat for the last six years sailing all over the world. After truly falling in love with the lifestyle I bought a 51 foot Formosa that we call the Pirate Ship.
Fan Mail! Jake reach out by email and asked us a few really great questions about purchasing a boat for the first time or trying ones hand at buying a boat and selling it for a profit, or what we have been calling a "boat flip".
Hi, love following your YouTube channel. Your pretty much living the life I want. My plan is in about 3 years to sell my business and live aboard a sailboat at least half the year.
My question is how do you find the boats that you flip? I’ve been casually looking for a boat for several years and I rarely come across a good deal. Is it mostly knowing people and right place right time or are there websites that I don’t know about!
I look at boat trader, eBay, Craigslist and even Facebook market place with very little success.
My other question is how do you manage having multiple boats?
My concern with buying something now (assuming I could find something) is I live in Montana and can’t be there to take care of most of the time. Do you have any suggestions or recommendations for me?
A BIG thank you to Jake for his email!
