Can't beat that Ranger for all around livability.....thank you guys...watch your show and your ups and downs....keep it up.😊

[@perfectfitboating]

It’s hard to beat! Thank you so much for your support! 🙌

[@wjjz8902]

How about just a wee bit of consistent format...start with the specs and price...then tour. Maybe use a few boat terms and offer a suggestion for the storage etc.

[@dybon787]

I think any Boat over 180k you should be able to live in it.

[@perfectfitboating]

I agree!

[@steveeschweiler8603]

Doable, so long as it’s 20 years old :(. Everything is so expensive these days.

[@2BearsOutdoors]

I'm watching a poll dancer in the making. 😂😂😂😂 You're a natural. 😂😂😂😂

🤣🤣🤣🤣 isn’t that the most ridiculous feature? Just doesn’t make sense man. Thank you my brotha! 🤙

@@perfectfitboating I thought the poll was a selling point. 🤣😂🤣 Yeah not a good design

[@TexanUSMC8089]

Anywhere on the Gulf or south USA it's 100% humidity and 90 degrees at night... we want AC on a boat.

[@perfectfitboating]

100%

[@2BearsOutdoors]

Watching now. Love it! One of the only things I wish they could design an awning that can be folded or removed instead of being fixed into the boat. Great stuff

[@perfectfitboating]

I can’t remember if the awnings were telescoping on the cut water. But the ranger was def a Bimini.

[@2BearsOutdoors]

@@perfectfitboating I know last year's model they didn't come off.

[@sfsaltwateradventures]

So many nice options of boats hard to choose the right one, awesome video guys!

[@perfectfitboating]

Thank you buddy! They’re all really nice! 🤙

[@davelawrence6777]

Thanks, guys. very good comparisons, and I agree that the ranger tug is best of show dollar for dollar

[@perfectfitboating]

Thank you for the comment Dave! We thought so too. Ranger tug had it all! 🤙

[@kirkwilliams4942]

Do some research. They look good but that's about it. We were close to buying one years ago, so glad we did not. Their quality is terrible.

[@perfectfitboating]

Which part of their quality is terrible exactly?

[@Pantherjonvideos]

Perfect weather for a boat show! LOL IMHO, the best accommodations has to go to the Ranger Tug, then the best bang for the buck I think would have to go to the Cutwater 24, seemed like the only one besides the Ranger to have a comfortable berth AND a stand up head...If money was no issue I would get the Ranger but to save almost $100k get the Cutwater..

[@perfectfitboating]

Wasn’t the weather great? 🤣 but you’re Absolutely right. Both of those are awesome boats! And the savings from the cut water is def something to consider! 🤙

[@stevhaniemccallum2371]

Great content love the honest reviews on prices. Thanks for sharing your funnier side 😂. Cheers to the next adventure

[@perfectfitboating]

Thank you steva! ♥️

[@dakodamanning1826]

I think you would love the northwest marine boats (c-dory, sea sport, osprey). New to the channel so maybe you have filmed them already but if not you should!

[@perfectfitboating]

Hey there and thanks for watching! Yes, we actually mention those boats on a few reviews. We’ve only seen one sea sport done here and it’s amazing! And we love the c dorys, Parker’s, defiance etc style boats. We just don’t get to see them down here in sfl. We gotta make our way to the PNW one day and film a show there! 🤙

[@dakodamanning1826]

@@perfectfitboatingA video at the Seattle boat show would be awesome. I have a C-Dory 25 and love it. I like the way yall do your videos comparing multiple small boats at one time vs one big boat at a time like other channels. More realistic.

[@perfectfitboating]

@dakodamanning1826 thank you buddy we appreciate that! C dory 25 is a sick boat! We love trip smiths 22 c dory, the 25 much have perfect space for two people 🤙

[@KIWI_ADVENTURES]

Very cool reviews! Thanks for sharing!

[@perfectfitboating]

Thank you Juan! 🤙

[@rangertruth4776]

I have to admit that Fluid Motion ( Ranger Tugs , Cutwater, Solara ) do an excellent job on layout , new ideas and overall appeal . Their price is attractive and have everything you could need . The down side ( in my opinion ) is they need more focus on the Quality of the build , Warranty improvements and better quality components . Because its a small boat , you need to be a contortionist to repair & do maintenance . The outboards make life easier .Great video , and hopefully you too don't get soaked on the next video !

[@perfectfitboating]

Hahaha we will be better prepared that’s for sure! Thanks for the comment! 🤙

[@MiamiLiving305]

Great review Video, Blessing!!

[@perfectfitboating]

Thank you brother! We appreciate you! 🤙

nice rainy day

[@perfectfitboating]

Yeahhhh. Gotta take the good with the bad. Good thing was it was empty and we had the boats to ourselves! 🤙

[@eclipes00]

Great reviews! Another boat you might like for overnighting is a regal 26xo with a 300 Yamaha I see you like the enclosed cabins much better for poor weather when it pops up

[@perfectfitboating]

Nolan, we love the regal 26xo! They just won’t bring em to these shows lol🤣 we wish they would! KZbin channel adventures of happy hours has one and it’s a neat boat! Definitely our style! We’re dying to film one! 🤙

[@cheapme1850]

I like the Regal too but lately I really would like a semi hardtop style boat. Canvas is ok but it becomes a pain sometimes taking it off and putting it back up, especially when bad weather or the bugs hit.

[@eclipes00]

Your not wrong

[@perfectfitboating]

@@cheapme1850 that’s definitely something to consider. I know the top is retractable and automatic. I wonder how an enclosure would work on that boat.

The Quarken 27 would be a better choice for running in troubled waters

[@perfectfitboating]

Never been on one but I’m sure they’re awesome riding boats! 🤙

[@Jella-ji6pi]

Definitely liked the ranger tug the best

[@perfectfitboating]

Absolutely!

I believe if you lift up the grill in the back of the Ranger Tug there's a live well underneath it.

[@cheapme1850]

Awesome and realistic reviews! Great to hear from boaters who like similar creature comforts - like the simple ability to sleep overnight comfortably, on a relatively affordable boat. It seems those types of boats are becoming few and far between and the few manufacturers that are trying to make those boats are compromising in the wrong areas. A good example is the Jeannau which wants to try to be a semi bow rider at the expense of cabin space, which you rightly said is a waste. A necessity for guys is a standup head, whether enclosed or not. My favorite is the same as yours - the Cutwater is on my list, they just need to put a better “piano hinge” on the head door. I love the Ranger but for the price, Cutwater is the better deal.

[@perfectfitboating]

You can’t go wrong with the cut water either tbh. And you’re right, the jeanneau just seemed like it was packing 10 pounds of 💩in a 5 pound bag. Wants to be everything and ends up short on everything. We have another video we’re doing on the bigger “pocket yachts” so two motors and the cut water is prob the best. That one will be up next week!🤙

[@asoliveri1]

Hope you get to see the Cutwater C-288 C!

[@perfectfitboating]

I’m about to post a video of that boat in 2 minutes! 🤙

[@asoliveri1]

Great - looking forward to it 😊

[@melodymakermark]

I’m not at all a fan of these bow seating weekenders either. I can see where separate lounging areas could be appreciated by some, but my use will be just myself and my much better half. She loves the interior appointments, as do I, so I’ll sacrifice cockpit space for cabin every time. As much as I can appreciate that big Parker where you could toss a frisbee in the cockpit, it just wouldn’t work for us. I love the ranger tug, but for the money, I think your Miami winner is the way to go, or the cutwater.

[@perfectfitboating]

We’re with you on that! The admiral likes interior space as well. And like you said, the Parker is just not complete. Ranger tug checks the boxes but the price 😳.

[@Spicy-Tuna]

Sup guys! Agreed.

[@perfectfitboating]

Hey Phil! Thanks for commenting! We thought the ranger was pretty bad a**! 🤙

[@Spicy-Tuna]

I see parkers out here like a virus. I don't like um. A lot of deck space, but seems wasted to me.

[@perfectfitboating]

@@Spicy-Tuna the new 24 really took care of the deck space issue. This one was completely empty with zero storage.

[@mariod8405]

Those boots look more like fishing boots,nothing to do with weekender, for nice complete weekender look at the skandinavian brands,best quality for your bucks

[@perfectfitboating]

I disagree. We do a lot of fishing in the states so boats are made to do both. I’ve been on and reviewed plenty of Scandinavian boats. They’re very nice but they haven’t hit the mark for what we need in the states. For example, the Parker poland boats and like many that are made in that same area, all have tiny heads and little berths. From what I understand, Scandinavians use those boats to get to their island cottages and what not. Not necessarily to spend the weekend on. Cool boats no doubt, and definitely better priced I agree. 🤙

[@markv.5962]

the quarken was a very weird boat. ranger tug cant be beat

[@perfectfitboating]

It’s very weird. Not in a bad way just different. It’s a European style boat so they have that styling. For us, ranger is where it’s at too! 🤙

[@BillKennedy-or4ot]

Does America build 26 - 30 feet length Aluminium Boats in custom layouts where the client can participate in the cabin layout where rear fishing deck area and facilities is also built for the clients and clients friends to have good usable space and fishing gear storage ?

[@perfectfitboating]

Yes but in certain places in the US. We have a video coming out this week of a company called lifeproof boats who make all different sized aluminum boats that are custom! 🤙

[@hildablanco1591]

A searay sundancer 32 has more comfort and twin 383 gas v8

[@perfectfitboating]

That’s great to know! 🤙

[@Applecompuser]

No privacy if your date is lying down. I'm not crazy about that. Also, the noise issue.

[@84jamesp]

regular cc's really waste a lot of space

[@perfectfitboating]

Very true!

[@mikelsteaj6398]

Very expensive these boats

[@perfectfitboating]

Youre right about that!

[@randyscott3386]

Ranger Tug is the nicest but the Bayliner Explorer Trophy isn't in there and when you learn that the pedigree of the Bayliner Trophy goes back to a guy named Dr. Livingston I presume ? " The same guy who invented the Livingston Dingy " . His family got to test his designs when he worked for Bayliner on the Trophy and Explorer way back . Anyway , rumour has it that the whole gang is over there at Ranger now . Great People and a hell of a boat . They're Royalty but try not to mistake em for the custodian . They're the real deal and it comes with being the person who cleans up the mistakes of others and then going on to make things better for everyone . They know boats . They also aren't owned by Bruinswick , like Sea Ray . So where are those Sea Ray guys anyway ? I'm a 82 Bayliner Explorer 2270 Alaskan Bulkhead kinda guy myself .

[@perfectfitboating]

Thanks for the info Randy we had no idea the history of those boats. I can tell you they were awesome over at ranger tug and out of all the other boat companies, they were the most prepared to show them. Boats looked and felt top notch! 🤙

@perfectfitboating what does that have to do with having respect for other ppl place,? And yeah 10ft fishing boat

[@DKarGarage]

@perfectfitboating I'm sure owner of the boat would disagree, my feelings ,lol, care less , u r the one on yt , freedom of speech and expression, sure u know allot bout that

[@perfectfitboating]

@DKarGarage I guess freedom of speech and freedom of expression only work when it’s convenient for you 🙄. Here’s a thought. Maybe, just maybe, these guys and ranger, cut water, and solara invited us to this show to see the boats THEY own, and saw that it was raining and it would be silly for us to walk without shoes on their boats. I mean, I know it’s hard to comprehend that from the rain and the fact we mention we spoke to Shane, the rep from the company. That’s what happens when you don’t watch or pay attention to the video and instead pick something ridiculous to comment about. 🤣Take care bud and thanks for feeding the algorithm! 🤙

[@stevehanke1842]

Not too knowledgeable at showing boats at show. Maybe try something else

[@perfectfitboating]

The views on our boat show videos speak for themselves. Jealousy looks ugly on you Steve. Hope your day gets better 🤙

[@AndreAKAua]

NC 795 sport is overall shorter than Cutwater… it would help if you had looked into NC795 weekender or, even better NC895. But overall I think Cutwater has better build quality

[@perfectfitboating]

We did. Look at our last video 🤙

[@MikeMane-ex1vf]

Isn't a 27-foot boat too big for one engine?

[@perfectfitboating]

Not necessarily. This boat has a narrow beam for its size and doesn’t have a very deep v so it can be powered with less hp. It’s no speed demon but these style boats are meant to cruise. 🤙
