The financing on that Sportsman is INSANE! $866/month for 240 months AFTER 20% down. That’s 230k over the life of the loan for a 116k boat and it’s 23’….
Never finance a boat. It’s the worst thing you can do. If you can’t come up with cash do not buy it. You probably won’t be able afford to insure, store, maintain or fix it. Generally speaking Boats are a luxury man and not feasible for everyone
Hey, Buddy I enjoy watching your videos , very educational on boating and maintenance of a boat . Can you make video on world cat boats , thinking of buying one next year when the prices go down . A 230DC world cat , also a video on all the good catamarans . thank you , keep up the great videos .
That Carolina Skiff come with raingear? Lord knows y'all gonna need it. Not one of them CSkiffs had a Jack Plate.. Way too much when you need to put all the goodys on it..
That 24 wellcraft for $160k with a single engine! Lmao I owned that Sportsman 232 open. Pretty boat but they don't handle the chop very well and buying from Sundance was a horrible experience
I just bought a 1999 SKIPJACK 24 OPEN for six grand. COMPLETELY REFIT, 30k. top to bottom. for 36k i got a boat that will blow any of these paper thin hull excuses to the bottom. fuk new boat prices.
Boat builders are too numerous and will never have the economies of scale that should make you purchase rather then renting - don't buy unless you get 30% to 40% off of their stupid prices - buy in December - I mean please - listen to this b#$#
The Market has to be coming to an inflection point, right?!?!? The hardwork and quality of a fiberglass boat, to include the outboards and electronics, has been increasing, but the premieum applied is beyond most those who are the greatest market: present recreational fishing; blue collar families who want to learn fishing/boating; hard working, money making fishung guides. But, on the contrary, it seems the prices keep inordinately increasing, wich pushes out those most likely interested and numerous. Who might i ask help or argue blame? Biden? Harris? Certainly not Bush.

Todays prices , it’s cheaper to hire a guide and fish once a month and come out better
Assuming your guide didn’t just buy a new boat. I assume you’d enjoy it more.
@@John_GGG I never assume anything. Prices are just ridiculous.
I love my Carolina SKiff 23LS. Tons of space to walk around
I sold that 2200 TRS at the show! Thanks for stopping by the Pathfinder Display.
How much? If you don't mind me asking.
$80k for that Pathfinder @@leversforever9748
Overall good video. Always show the head compartment on all of the boats. Helps to sell the idea to the wives.
Was there no key west boats booth?
These prices are insane!!
Thanks!
Hopefully you can do a Robalo 270 and 302.
We did those :)
I was wondering if you could help me out. I have a 2018 50 horsepower merc forestroke. I was wondering what control I would need for that.
One hand on the wheel, one hand holding a beer should control it.

Is there a wheelchair accessible boat that's not a pontoon at these shows by any chance?
All boats are over priced but the regulator 23 is unjustifiable
I've never seen more expensive useless junk under one roof in my life.
SHO - not show....S.H.O. like super high output
The prices are insane. But the last four years everything has quadrupled. Thanks harris biden.
