2024 Long Island Boat Show 26' to 30' Center Consoles - What Does $150K to $399K Get You?

[@sapelesteve]

Thanks for the boat tour John! IMHO, it's gotten to the point that only people with the big bucks are able to afford those rigs. Even the used boat market is ridiculous!

[@petermont1]

Love the Cravelle

[@FishingLongIsland]

Hi John. The Southport is worth more now that your blood is on it. Haha. Thank you for the review. Definitely looking forward to done trips this season. Happy New Year 🎊🎈

[@DaDuddaMan64]

As far as a fishermans view the tidewater is my pick

[@blankrobber]

Will there be a vid on the pilothouse boats @JonesBeach? Couldn't help but notice the Defiance 260 alongside the Carvelle

[@jiggingjerks]

I have three videos on them

[@blankrobber]

@jiggingjerks you sure do 😄 ! Never got a notification 🤔

[@jiggingjerks]

@@blankrobber turn on that notification bell lol

[@blankrobber]

OK- I'm on board now! Just out of curiosity, were there any Hondas outfitted? Was surprised while in Mex how popular that brand is down there

[@jiggingjerks]

@ I honestly don't remember but I can tell you from the many boat shows I attend, it's EXTREMELY rare to see Hondas on the boats displayed. I've owned three over the years and think they're terrific but their market share is almost non-existent in the States

[@Fluke17]

When did tidewater start making boats without forward seating

[@jiggingjerks]

I know

[@Mike-hs8fq]

I built a 28 southport in 2007 for 145K now 399 lol. Great boat though just not worth 400K

[@seanhakakian8075]

How do you find out about these boat shows

[@jiggingjerks]

Typically social media and emails. If you buy a ticket for one online, you’ll generally get notified about most future shows

[@seanhakakian8075]

Thank you but where or what account should I follow on social media

[@slange455]

The Cravelle is way to crowded feel to much stuff in the way

[@aaronbennett7168]

some of these boats put to much on seating.. a beanbag chair feels better when ridding anyway and you can put it where you want when you are riding

[@jiggingjerks]

@@aaronbennett7168 agree!!!!
