At that age the price is far too high!! That Boston Whaler is a far better value than that first older boat!! In the Bahamas we use mainly two brands of engines which are Yamaha and Mercury for outboards! I would not buy a boat right now under the year 2000!

This should be a short video...😂

Cool!👍👍

Great video and post! Thank you for doing the work to bring this to us.

Having baught a 2023 boat brand new from a very long standing manufacturer here in australia i xan confirm that i am super disappointed with many aspects of it that are similar to what are highlighted in this video. The wiring is absolutely aweful throughout the entire boat and the fibreglass finishing is terrible. I wish id taken more time to pick the boat over when i baught it as now its too late.

About time we had honest reviews

I also noticed every manufacturer there is using the cheapest engine on the market Suzuki....wtf they have innovated or upgraded anything in 25 years. Prime example are their quads.

Id never ever buy a brand new boat. Its worse than buying a brand new car. I spent 5k on a used boat and have been enjoying it for the last 4 years with my family and haven't had to put a dime in it besides gas oil changes and trailer tires. Buy used

Mediocre presentation. ....opening and closing cabinets and drawers , 80% of the 😢time

7:05 I could live the the hinge strap. A hydraulic closer would not work there. The lack of weather seal is cheap as F*ck and unacceptable.

Oh man, soo many boats i wanna see. Wish you couldve looked at the pathfinder 22 for that price! Thats my range and type im lookin for

Absolutely disgusting...where is the professionalism today...quality? Thank you for showing what's out there today.

New boats should cost $1000/ft not square foot either.

To be honest, at these prices, the people buying these boats don't know anything about manual labor and buy on appearances and can afford to trash these things in a few years. Boat industry knows exactly who they're marketing to.

The comedy in your videos are under rated LMAO!!! I bought a cutwater 24dc in may, really thinking should have gotten a pilot house with ac now. Love yahs videos its really honest and informative no hidden agendas!

I've been curious about this process. I had two floor jacks, getting the bow off the trailer would be even easier! Thanks for posting.

Love it. ❤ The best one is the Big Bayliner. Jorge's boat for the money is a great buy. I've was told that decor and everything that is seen comes with the boat. Love that! Great video. ❤

Yepp, mostly agree! Polish and Turkish cheap boats will kill attitude

Thats a shame 😮

Cool deals!

My guess ,outsourced Chinese components.

Zero excuses. Who signs off on these 100 k abominations .

Profits before Quality. Private Equity buyouts are decimating every industry they touch.

Wait! Wasn't that same, Carolina 21LS was $49k at 2023 show? I take it back, show was 6 months ago and same boat with umbrella chair was $41k. Wthl happened in 6 months!? 18k difference !?

Only in the 50 ununited 3rd world countries of america where boats, cars and houses are crap crap crap!

You are very lucky that your wife helps you and hangs out with you! Keep her because they don't make that model any more!

There’s good deals out there, just gotta go find them, great video 👍

Forrest and his channel DIY Waterworld was the first boat repair channel I ever watched. It's a riot that he takes his projects over to the Bahamas and back. Keep up the roadside boat shopping; I enjoy it!

Good job👍🏼

Good video. I guess all it takes is a good eye and basic knowledge on how to scope out a good buy. Thanks for the advice.

dei hire.

That's a great price for that hydra sport

Great job with your content. When will you take the GradyWhite out again and give us an update on the skiff you are working on. Cheers 🥂 to your next adventure.

No longer any pride in craftsmanship. I don't know which is worse: RVs or boats.

Great video , I love your content 😊

Are you seeing a decline in the boat prices for higher end center consoles. I’m hoping these sellers come down to earth on their asking prices

Thanks would like to see you guys make a run with your Grady to the Bahamas after the storm season before you move on to bigger one

How much ?

Dude no disrespect, but you Girl is stunning, love at first sight, God bless her,

I'm noticing more and more boats like the Ranger that are built with zero bow flare. Is this an issue when you hit some chop ? Are they expecting that, because this is a pilot house type boat, that you wont mind catching a lot of spray to the windshield or do they compensate for this in other ways ? I'm with you on the Cutwater 248 Coupe. Even when I have "Money is no object" type dreams of boats, I try to stay below 25 foot. This boat does a REALLY good job of having the features and the room I'd want within that size.

Great deals is a misnomer if not an outright clickbait title. Most of these are over priced and some of them are massively overpriced.

That's a Safeboat...

I LOVE the OLD small hulls. 15 to 17 run-a-bout. Before floatation and multiple additional compartments. A friend took the entire cap off of his 15 Glastron to redo transom, stringers and floors. Being able to remove the cap and gut the whole boat made the restoration so much easier and more complete. I've heard some say to stay away from marine grade plywood when rebuilding the structural elements of a boat. Something about the chemicals used prevents good adhesion when laminating the boards in. They feel that a better bond between the wood and the fiberglass is more important than the water resistance of the wood you are using as core material. Have you heard this or seen it to be true. What type of wood do you use when using wooden members ?

Theres alot of good deals on facebook market place too, I love the content bro, great job!

V20 with cabin is my fantasy boat. Does everything I want a boat to do VERY well. Saw a KZbin Short of a V20 with 225 doing 48 on the GPS with smooth water.

Should've. Put a couple drops of black paint to match existing color

So jealous of all the fresh fish you caught and ate. I have been to Bahia Honda on a road trip. Beautiful park, and nice to experience the way you did thru this video. TY

If I’m going used. I’d lean towards trailer and hull only, late model to repower.Maybe consider one with a newer engine. Not touching ANYTHING that I can’t have my mechanic check out for me. I feel like in this economy there’s going to be a ton of newer boat going up for sale for cheap. People went hog wild during Covid and over spent on toys. The piper is calling and if you look around you could get paid for other’s mistakes. The repo man is coming for a lot of folks y’all and you could benefit big time. Just my opinion…..

First boat $15,000 max especially with cheap motor. 2nd boat $8,500 and that's for motor only.

My Brother great video! As Always! Thanks so much for your support! Peace from the Keys!
