Florida Sportsman Best Boat - 28' to 32' Center Consoles

If you’re wanting to fish comfortably on days when seas are forecasted to be three to four feet, or want to cross to the islands or head out to the middle grounds a center console in the 28’ to 32’ range is what you want like the Contender 28ST, the Century 2901 or the Southport 29FE.

I know CCs have been around forever, but it seems their popularity is soaring even higher with the dual functionality of fishing and pleasure. The refinements on these boats have made them luxurious in many ways...

[@jeffm8882]

If you buy a Contender with forward seating you should have bought a different boat.

[@Gamefreak1220]

that contender is a beauty

[@Deltonagardens]

Century 2901 is the ultimate rig, I work for West Orlando Marine and CANT WAIT to take ours out for its first test run! Century Dealer

[@raulcepero4810]

They are all nice, I like the Century 2901over all.

[@MrWampler33]

The southport has a yacht price too!!! It is stunning though!!!!

[@ryanbrown7240]

You do not say one negative thing about any boat you test. It is important to differentiate between the positive and negatives of different boats to help people make a decision.

Ryan Brown their advertising

[@douglashammon1]

@@vmonroig21 Yes, they aren't going to say anything negative, because all of the manufacturers buy space in their magazines. But it does make it hard to make a decision watching these videos. I would like to run into these guys in a bar and get their honest opinions....lol.

[@F15Bluto]

@@douglashammon1 Yep. You can get one real opinion. Dave East left the show and started producing boats. I think there’s a pretty long waiting list for them, so he’s doing pretty well.

Where's the Grady white canyon or a seavee

[@danielhade1883]

put that prices on the boats

[@JB-jn9kb]

I'm in the market to buy a 28 to 30 foot offshore boat. Only problem is, all boat dealers tell me different shit and I can't get an honest opinion from them to save my life. When I go online everyone says buy a yellowfin, contender, or some other top end boat. I get told all other boats that are three piece blow and if they haven't been around for 30 plus years, you can't trust them. So, here I am, a year later still watching boat videos from the shore line because I don't have a clue what to get. Boat brands I've looked at in my price range are the NauticStar, Cobia, Sea Hunt, & Sea Hunter. I've been told their all trash and don't buy any of them countless times, yet I see them on the water every where. Eh, the struggle is real!

[@pedromari7440]

Boston whaler can't go wrong

[@fulldangle]

I would not recommend sea hunt they are way over priced for what you get. Unless you just want to have a family cruising boat.

[@PhilbyFavourites]

J B : can I take this from a different perspective? I'm UK based and we a rarely see such wonderful weather and we don’t have (I’ve never been touched by it) such a driven sport fishing community. Our fishing boats are 32’ diesel stompers with a dozen badly dressed blokes fishing for mullet five miles out in shitty weather. But... if you want a boat that looks good, is reliable, and you look back at the dock over your shoulder when you walk back to the car and go “hey, that’s mine! It looks good!” Then the answer is to look at the second hand prices. If a boat is rubbish it’s reflected with the desire for a second hand purchase. If it drops like a brick then no matter how the internet bigs it up - it’s shit for a reason. Probably you’re not the only financial decision maker. So it has to please a significant other. The two herberts giving the commentary on this talk about competition fishing and then make jest at taking the family on board. Whether you like it or not you’re buying it for the family - they matter. If you’re unsure out on the water, get proper training to make YOU confident. If your wife/significant other is confident in YOU then the day will be a total success regardless of what you’re driving. Sadly the Atlantic stops me popping over (but my wife and I are doing Route 66 this June/July nowhere near Florida). I know you’ll make (or will have made by now) the right choice. You’re a long time dead so buy the one you want sooner rather than later. It’s a great video to watch, but dear God do these boys commentate on your Super Bowl? They can talk complete tosh for England (as we say over here).

Take a look at the blackfin🔥 or SeaVee (out of Miami) 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Alex718GTS4.0]

Boston Whaler, Everglades, Pursuit

[@jeffm8882]

No room in the rear of the southport.

[@raulcepero4810]

I LIKE CENTURY1

[@oddoneout9012]

In my years of fishing, I have never been seasick and I hope I never am

[@jonathantong786]

29 yellowfin blows these boats away

[@danielgockerell]

Grady White 306 through 376??? All these boats outside of the Gradys’ can’t take a wake or a formidable wave. What gives bros???

[@frosty986]

Sea Fox?? Grady?? Boston Whaler ?? Like cmon there are better boats in this length that are just as good or better get your act together guys

The Southport is a dramatically better boat than all 3 of those
