Does a $50,000 Center Console EXIST at the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show 2023

[@ralphholiman7401]

The guys over on Classic Mako have the right idea. Find an old Mako with good bones. Fix the problems they usually have at that age, do the repairs, put a brand new outboard and controls on it, and have yourself a hell of a boat for a lot less than $50,000.

Honestly I agree with this. I’m a big fan of used boats. Buy a good hull slap a new motor and electronics on it and your ready to fish!

Avid makes the 23 FSX with a MSRP of just over $45K and a 23 MAG with a MSRP just a touch over $48K. They are aluminum but they are very good boats.

Interesting, 🤔 maybe at the next show I’ll expand the criteria a bit and see what we can find! Thanks for the suggestion

[@f9372]

Check out Clearwater.

[@LivinSalty]

I’ve heard of em, but I don’t believe they were at the show. But I’ll keep on eye out!

[@EngineNoise305]

Any good dual consoles ?

[@LivinSalty]

Wasn’t looking at them, but I can consider doing a similar video to this with dual consoles if there’s enough interest!

[@JTADVENTURE2]

Great short video, Show us what you can get for $50000

[@LivinSalty]

Thank you! I can do that for the next boat show for sure!

[@jimreid67]

Maybe a RIB tender.

[@LivinSalty]

Hmmm 🤔 maybe! I’ll be on the lookout for it at the next boat show!

[@Deadfeat]

You are definitely more in the 18-20ft range.

[@LivinSalty]

Yes there would probably be more options in that size range

[@Deadfeat]

@@LivinSalty i run a 23 Robalo r180. Probably one of the best deep v hulls. At. 18ft 4in she handles ocean like a bogger boat

[@LivinSalty]

@@Deadfeat nice! At the Fort Lauderdale boat show 2023 I covered Robalo’s new 23ft cc. Nice boat!
