Picking 20' and Under Small Boats by the Side of the Road - What Does $5.5K to $40K Get You?

[@LI-FLKayakFisherman]

Drove out to Orient last Thursday and saw a jet ski on Sound Ave right side heading east, didn’t see price. Missed the Hydra but saw the others. The Mastercraft didn’t impress me.

Wonder if the jet ski was on Sound and that’s why I missed it!

Hydra Sport, roto molded ? I looked at them years ago, I remember that they weren’t originally fiberglass, good boats. Perfect timing for a lousy day. Thanks.

[@jiggingjerks]

I think it still comes out of a traditional mold but it's basically a one piece boat with no liner or cap. I think their "Vector" line was Kevlar infused

Would love to get a 24-25 Grady White....

Mastercraft is a old school ski boat not sure it’s worth 5k ..I would also pick the hydra sport. The Mako seems high maybe more like 30k

Master craft would be great up the river or on a lake in Maine. I wonder the cost to do the enterior?

[@jiggingjerks]

@@SneakyPeteNJ I’d have to assume a few grand at least

[@Jcoop21]

do you ever come across any speed boats? activators, superboats or skaters?

[@jiggingjerks]

Rarely

HS is nice, Mako is too expensive imho.

Ok based on just the list only watched the intro. I'm going to bet you go with the Mako. Edit half way through and your not going Mako 😊

[@jiggingjerks]

Haha, yeah, went with the HS

Love the review but in today’s world, PLEASE be careful walking on fenced property like that, even if opened. Too many hot heads out there. 🙏
