Hey guys, welcome to my channel! We are still
in the coronavirus lockdown here in Southern California. Normally, would like to show you a lot of new boats. We do a lot of boat shows premieres, but I was thinking would be kind of
fun to reach out to local brokers and to see what kind of brokerage boats, used boats, pre-owned
boats, however you want to call it, what cool and interesting boats we could show you guys. We are
on board of Forbes Cooper 80, which is gonna be a pretty rare boat for a lot of you guys, that's
why I thought it would be very interesting. It is Canadian-made. This boat has a pretty cool name,
it's called "Risk and Reward". We've been talking a lot about liveaboards and different possibilities.
And this is a very interesting boat because it's a pretty massive yacht. A lot of space, it's an older
boat, but it would make a pretty cool liveaboard. And here's the kicker. It was actually built in
1997. Alright, let's check it out - come with me! So here is the aft cockpit, it's got a really
nice sitting area here, a beautiful table - beautifully done. A lot of room. The staircase
is going up to the flybridge. And should we start inside. Yeah. Let's start with the salon. So
long, nice big sliding door. All right - come on in! It's got a really nice bar area. Actually super
cool bar area. It's got a big wine cooler fridge. Nice set up here for glassware. The little working
bench, I mean that just that's really nice. It's great for entertaining. Somebody likes wine.
Yep. Nice little wet bar that closes with a sink. Let's see. It's got two different
sitting areas, which is kind of interesting and unusual. I'm guessing this one is more of
a game room type of bar entertainment space and the other one is more of a TV watching spot.
It's got a big 55 inch TV. Storage-wise in the salon, you can see there's a couple of little
storage areas here on the bottom, also behind Rico there. It's a really nice spacious
bright salon, great living room for someone if wants to use it as a liveaboard boat. Totally.
Alright, let's come forward! All updated and upgraded lighting - it's all LED lights now
all around. So let's come to the galley. It's a separate galley on the port side. A really good amount of space. There's a lot of new appliances and everything this is definitely not
1997 here. A lot of KitchenAid. It's got big oven. Yeah it's got a great size oven. Oh yeah - wow nice. I am
jealous of this oven! Pizza night! Yeah, the amount of storage, you know, it's really great is that a lot of older
boats, have a lot of nice built-in little stoppers. Yeah it's really nice, because a lot of the newer
boats, I feel like are kind of missing the details. When you're underway and it's nice. Nice large
side-by-side fridge/freezer combination. There's a lot of room here. Lots of storage. Yeah lots of
storage you guys. Good countertop space. Really nice galley. Good galley. Yeah good kitchen. And
then on the opposite side, on starboard we do have your favorite! Go ahead. Love, love, love day heads.
If you guys don't know that - already, big, big pet peeve of mine. Just put a day head, if the boat is
bigger than 7 feet, 7, 7, 70, 70 feet, put a day head on it. Even on a 60 footer. Put a day head on it. I know
sometimes it's hard on the 60-foot. But 70 foot oh for sure, like put a day head on it - it's really
nice to have. All right walking forward. Is that a dishwasher? I didn't even look. Oh yeah,
full-size dishwasher. Fantastic. Oh that is a great galley - really nice! What are these?
Tons of space a lot of storage in the galley. All right coming more forward. We've got a big dining
room area. Really really big - Rico actually said like, why would need such a big area. Seating for 8. But it's really nice you could have a nice proper dinner. It's right next to the galley, but
it still feels kind of separate. It's nice really nice. The windows are actually really
great, for the age of this boat. Its really cute. Look there is this little cute light up here. So
you've got the doors to go forwards. Port and Starboard, on both sides. Also really nice if you want to
create a cross breeze and just open both doors up. Don't even need to run the a/c. Totally agree.
Lots of storage space here. Being nosy. Yep, even like some kind of drawers right here. Okay, I know
it was updated with a sound system, and it's got its got a lot electric electronic. It basically had
an electronic update, not necessarily a facelift, but more of all the insides of the boats been
updated so. Yeah, they definitely started a refit on the boat. Yeah, it's really good. All
right, should we go forward? Yep okay, so forward we got a VIP. This is a really nice room.
It's a really cool cabin, it's got a little TV, for all of you always asking me, if there is a TV in
the cabin. There is a TV in this cabin. That's all upgraded recently. So closet on this side,
hanging closet on the port side. Also there is a closet on the starboard side. Both of the
sides have nice little storage areas here. And a head. This is nice. Look at this. Nice little ensuite. Super cute, really cute. This is good space. Actually a really nice shower. And a good size shower too. It really feels like a house, you know for
you guys, that are not like real boaters. Just to relate like this, it really feels like a nice-size
condo. Like a nice size apartment. The shower. Yeah this will make a great little boat for sure.
That's a good-size boat. Alright, let's look at the other cabins. Okay,
I saw another door here. I'm gonna see what that is. That's like a linen closet. That's big,
it's almost a walk-in. Yeah I would make it a walk-in. Although this is not a master so
this is just a big VIP cabin. Alright keep going down here. So kind of a midship here, we're going
to the starboard side first. Double cabin, I guess there are two double cabins on each site. Closets. Good size hanging closets. Got all of this storage. Head here. So we got two single beds and an ensuite. Nice for guests for
sure. With a shower yeah. Really nice yep. That's great yep. Okay, so it's probably equal, I would assume
it's equal on the other side. Storage here, as well linen closet. Tons of storage everywhere. I
love that. Closet here as well. Yeah, so this one is identical you guys. They look like, just mirror
image, image to each other. There's a TV as well. A TV. Same head. Yep same thing. Yep. Which one
would you choose? Left or right, port or starboard? Right - I like to be right! Yes. You're rarely right
though. You like to be right, you're mostly left. All right. Hey. Since we already up here you
wanna check out the foredeck? Yeah, let's do that. Really nice safe walk. Feels really solid
this boat. I mean the railings are, like you know, waist height. All feels really
nice and solid. I mean you can definitely see the design, you can see the the late 90s style of
the windows and hatches, but when you're inside and actually some of the couches and
things could be even more updated, it feels, it's hard to tell actually, that it is a
1997. Yeah it's good good size foredeck. Yeah you can actually make this even more, sort of
enjoyable, in terms of cushions and kind of you know, do a little cushion area here too to be
able to have more people sitting up here. Yeah. Yeah really cool. All right, let's go up to the
fly or the pilothouse. Let's check out the master. That's right the master. The master and the engine room. I forgot about the master. Okay. All right. So it's really
nice because you've got VIP and the two staterooms forward. And then the Masters has its
own separate entry, separate staircase. Going aft. Come on down. And in the closet space
here, is great a lot of space everywhere. Here's a master, full beam. Lots and lots of
storage. You see there's, looks like a big closet here. See here hanging closet. It's
really, really good size. I am okay with this. It's really cute to have that little sitting
area and also be have like a little getting ready area. Lots of storage on that side, on
this side, all the lower drawers, I'm pretty sure. Yeah. There are big drawers here, like I have
on our boat yep, really good. What's behind this door? Oh. Secret. Access to the crew quarters. Ah, check it out - Laundry room. Washer and dryer. It's like a standard house. There is the aft-facing door, that's the regular crew entrance door.
Yeah, crew entrance. And I mean if you really, really like your crew, they can come to your cabin.
This is a little cabin, crew cabin. Not that little actually, feels pretty roomy. It's got a good
sized shower and full head shower sink everything. Oh yeah, check out the shower good,
really nice. I bet on some of the newer boats that we have seen. Nice walk-in. Totally. Okay, so we got that
door. Alright - let's check out the engine room! Yep. Storage. Yep. Fire Extinguishers. It's
actually nice to have tall skinny storage for like brooms and you know stuff you can never
find where to put that. So that's actually great to have a little place like that. Yeah.
Got all your tank monitoring here - all the 24 volt switches not at all, but a lot of them. Yeah. Generator controls. Some new
Cummins Onan generators were just replaced as I heard! Two right? Two yeah. Okay, so the engine
room it's actually nice for an owner/operator, it's a little big, but it's definitely doable.
You'll have maybe one, you know help, because everything is there. The engine rooms right
here. Kind of great. All right. Turn it! All right. Here we are. Here we are! Two nice
big man engines, 1050 horsepower each yeah. V12 man engines, 3400 hours on them yeah.
3,500 mmhmm yeah so barely broken in. Good access though right! Yeah, good access for
the engine service. Got a water heater here and some of the chiller systems right there.
Big diesel tanks on the outboard side. Yeah pretty good access, and really get a hand room - yep for working here. Got another water heater right there, more chillers on the starboard
side. Let's get them. Good engine room. Yeah. I mean it's definitely got plenty of headroom and
plenty of room to move around. It's not like our engine room, which if you guys haven't seen
it yet check out the video right here to see. Rico doing engine room yoga - a lot of fun. Okay
pilothouse, flybridge. Yep. Got a fire boy here. We have one on our boat - right? We do yeah. How does
it work Rico, tell people! Some people don't know what fire boy is. It's automated fire station.
Basically, if there's something happens, there's a fire onboard, it automatically discharges.
And there's also a manual discharge, which is kind of like behind the wall that, yeah you can
just pull in in discharges it. If it reaches a certain temperature, in that specific area, in that room,
wherever it's mounted, at some point it will just discharge automatically. What are we doing
next? We are going to the flybridge, pilothouse. You know, all upgraded Garmin electronics,
new top loaders, three big screens. Three big screens. So yeah, it looks
like all electronics were upgraded recently. It's definitely good for a cold climate,
because you can be nice and warm here if you doing...comfortable...
if do some good crossings. Okay, it's got a good... it's air-conditioned, so even if it's warm you
just turn the air conditioner on. Yep. Nice look out here, you can chill, hang out with the captain.
And tons of storage as well. There's is all of your, you know, panel right there. Got all the
breakers here. There's a panel here as well. It's kind of a small, little flybridge here,
but it's got a huge barbecue. Big barbecue. Ohh. That's a good size barbecue. Yeah. Let
the tender up on the top deck. Yep. So obviously if you put the tender down, there's a lot more
room here, but..Yeah. It nice little seating area. Yeah, What is this here? Wet bar? Staircase
down to the half cockpit, storage area. Okay, so what do we got here? So what do
we got? Somewhere here must be the generators. Yeah, the generators underneath. Brand new. Two brand new generators underneath and
then we have a little bait tank here in the center. We got a wet bar. You want to open it?
Yep, nice little wet bar, with a cutting board, so you can fillet a fish. Which you caught freshly. It's big space, it's really roomy. This whole thing is a cutting board. Yup. Oh, thats cool. I don't know, if I have ever seen it that big before. Okay. Comes in handy. For sure. It's a really big swim
step slash cockpit. The entrance to the crew quarters, that was on the inside is right here. Yeah. Yeah it's a big space it's a really big space. Chair. Little
fighting chair. I think that's fine. I like what they did with the, with the staples
here. If you I don't know if you guys can see this, but they actually left it open. it's
exactly cut out and you can't really see the bottom there, it's exactly cut out for rod, so a
function as rod holders as well. It's pretty cool. No these ones here. Oh that. So if you look inside there, yeah and
I can't get it in the camera, but you do have the crossbar in there to place
your rod in there, and it doesn't turn. Interesting. Definitely a good size. Good size swim
step slash cockpit...I can definitely see myself living on this size of boat - I wouldn't need a bigger boat - it's a good size..and if you don't like fishing you just put two
three lounge chairs back here, and enjoy some time at the island.
Yeah well, here, "Risk and Reward". This concludes the tour of Forbes Cooper
80. I hope you guys enjoyed it! I hope we gave you some ideas of what kind of
a big massive boat, little older boat you can get for under a million dollars. It's
just maybe another option someone has not ever considered. It's a rare boat to see
on the market. If you guys are interested, all the details are in the description below.

share...really, really makes a difference! Ciao! Here we go. Do one more just in case. It' was pretty good, but do one more. We should have started there. It's fine. Let's just do that at the
end. We have 93 percent. So let's...should we do it at the end, but let's not forget! All
right. Here we got a nice big glass sliding door and oops. Bong .But really good...just banging into a wall. and as far as I remember the boat was recently updated with all electric and electronics. Surprise you remember?
