Like that black dual helm but, the price is scary. Nice to be able to get out of the weather if you need to, hard to beat that option. Thanks for the boat show.
I am currently looking at a 15 ft Whaler for here in South Florida, so I like that Mako skiff - last boat I bought was in 88 and got rid of it about 4 years ago before all hell broke loose, and everyone wanted a boat -
I have a ProXS 115 on my 19ft. It runs at higher RPMs than teh standard 4 Stroke so I guess it is like having a little mopre horspower. I have had mine since 2017 and love it. Not a single issue so far.
They are high priced because those are all welded with a full V, not riveted, full aluminum trailer with upgraded wheels & it ready to go out. I believe even life vest are included. Oh and also because the motors have gone way up in price. If you’ve been out in waves or even heavy chop with a boat that has only V in the front but the bottom is flat, it beats you to death. Full V helps cut the waves for a much better ride! That also have plenty of floatation when it will not sink to the bottom if it get full of water. Down south, we call it a Gill bracket, not extended transom & to have have that added to an existing boat costs about $8 to 10k )depending is the size boat) to build & weld on.
You lost me after the Spartan boats. Those boats would be great for scuba diving. Has plenty of floor space for gear, not cluttered with seating. Like the enclosed cabin. Only negative I can see is the aluminum is so hot in the summer. Great video.
The prices are nuts....considering I can offshore fish on a comfortable head - party boat for under $50 for a half day. I can do that every day, all season and still not come close to the payments of one of those. Heck I built my own 16 foot skiff for under $1000, and stuck a nice used outboard on it for even less.
Amazing the prices are through the roof and the Willamete River springers are extinct. The Columbia salmon and steelhead runs are next. Apparently these boat manufacturers think the way to recover fish runs is by building ridiculously priced boats. Makes perfect sense….
With all those ally boats the first thing you do is remove those 'steel' side rails. At least one of those boats appears to have had its first encounter with the side rail. Better install some polyurethane auto guide rails down at the 1st keel roller at the back of the trailer.
I did enjoy the video as to but the boat you picked has no gear on it , pole holders down riggers and the most costly is the navigation and fish finding systems! There’s another 5000 ?
Only sold at NW Cabela's. They sell trackers where they sell and nitros where they sell. Market determines what sells where. U would buy these in Kansas
I'm getting old when ATVs and fishing boat prices are equal to or greater than a used pickup ($35-$40k). We all have our boundaries, I won't spend more than $50k on a truck, nor $30k for a boat used weekends 4 months a year (Minnesota), both dropping in value with age alone. Unlike me
Not sure. I think they don’t sell good down there because people like center consoles because of the sunny weather. Florida is like that. Center consoles are huge down there. Aluminum don’t sell good down there.
@jamespierson9312 it's actually called galvanic corrosion & if you do not wash it down along with flushing out your outboard motor then your boat gets destroyed

Vote for Biden again and that 18' aluminum boat will be $100k next year.

nevermind $71k for what used to be around a $20-$25k boat is crazy
I know. These boats use to be so much cheaper. It’s crazy how much they have gone up. Bought a 19’ one about 1995. I could afford it then.

Maybe if I hit the lottery
124k? That is more than I paid for my house! If I am paying that much the least it could be is big enough to live in.

Not everyone wants to take 4-6-8 people on their boat.
